RoboCap – Selections for 11/30

Success visited this corner of the forum last week (9-7, .563). The full-season performance record is now .553 (84-68-3). That unique combination of both volume & success is an accomplishment (humble opinion), so no complaints. With that, the box shows all of these on this week’s ticker tape:
1) AppState(+2.5)/GeorgiaSouth
2) LA-Lafayette(-9.5)/LA-Monroe
3) NorthTexas(-11)/Temple
4) Toledo(-8)/Akron             L
5) USC(+7.5)/NotreDame
6) MiamiOhio(+3)/BowlingGreen
7) UAB(+3)/Charlotte
8) Marshall(+3.5)/JamesMadison
9) JacksonvilleSt(+2)/WestKentucky
10) Stanford(+3)/SanJoseSt
11) UTSA(+7.5)/Army
12) Pittsburgh(+5)/BostonCollege
13) KansasState(+3)/IowaState
14) NorthCarSt(+3.5)/NorthCarolina
15) WestVirginia(+3.5)/TexasTech
16) Virginia(+7.5)/VirginiaTech
17) Navy(+2.5)/EastCarolina
18) UtahState(+6)/ColoradoSt
19) CoastalCar(+1)/GeorgiaSt

System rank value had taken somewhat of a backseat since the algorithm was formally adjusted seven weeks ago. However, ever the data-watcher, the system’s upper-strength has asserted itself. Over that time, the top six have gone .683 (28-13-1).

Some requested slack on the above. For the record, I have yet to place on several best-bets due to their ‘intractable’ short-week non-advantageous line magnitudes (+2.5, +6, -11). I won’t get what I want on most – but like most of my ilk (degenerate gamblers); I’m an optimist.

An observation. The algorithm normally stays pretty low key; rarely venturing out to predict marque games. Justified or not, the Human Administrator has always liked that subtle characteristic, feeling like big-money contests also produce Big Scrutiny -- and ultimately a tougher line. However, the box was on both of last Saturday’s large SEC upsets (Okla/Alabama & Florida/Miss). Further, Florida opened at +6.5 and closed at +13. So, among our wagering brethren, the Gators were very much a contrarian pick. As they say, a dog that barked.......

This is our last major-volume week. And a first for season 2024 -- we have the full-slate of 67 games. Here’s hoping you can turn that volume-opportunity into dollars, along with a grand experience today. Happy Thanksgiving!
Good luck,

Monitoring them all, this is a late-addition based on line movement:
6.5) SanDiegoSt(+5.5)/AirForce

Though I have not actually placed this one yet.....

Given that the Aztecs host the last game on the board tonight, the HA is figuring we might have those numerous favorite-lovers push the number upward. Please note in passing -- I am allowed to make “timing” decisions. However, in the end (FYI), the algorithm’s basement is the current 5.5.
Good luck,

For the record.......an operator error to report. A certain element of the algorithm is brand new – and I totally misread it earlier today. Apology as needed, but I’m actually flipping my pick on that last game.
6.5) AirForce(-5)/SanDiegoSt

With that reduced line, I have not placed yet but, as it turns out, the box likes the Falcons up to and beyond -7.
Good luck,
TheKingfish
