*-Had a slight higher decimal before rounding.

Please note the following:
* This is not my method, it was posted on these boards by Roughshod and others last season
* Stats are gathered from statfox.com and put into the spreadsheet
* Stats used are for the entire season to date, including games against Division I-AA (FCS) and/or Division II teams
* Home Field Advantage is +1.5 points for the Home Team and -1.5 points for the Visiting Team
* Strength of Schedule is taken from the Sagarin Ratings on usatoday.com

Here is how the YPPT Method did for the final few weeks of the 2009 season:
Week 11: 41-10 SU, 29-21-1 ATS
Week 12: 40-12 SU, 29-23 ATS
Week 13: 37-12 SU, 17-30-2 ATS
Week 14: 12-6 SU, 5-12-1 ATS
Bowls: 20-13 SU, 14-18-1 ATS
===========================
Regular Season Totals: 130-40 SU (76%), 80-86-4 (48%)
Bowl Game Totals: 20-13 SU (61%), 14-18-1 (44%)
Overall Totals: 150-53 SU (74%), 94-104-5 (48%)

where do they get 1.5 for home? 

i've always heard 3 for home in NFL and 6 for NCAAF... 

this adjustment could help the ATS stats but impressive SU stats hitting at 74%

smd173, I'd like to swap a Nfl sheet for a college sheet

YPPT is not a tool to be use by itself, more like using it with your capping skills which will give you a much better edge on picking winners...You are more likely to get a winning percentage of 44-48% using YPPT by itself...Might be good fading material  if you have the guts to

Home Field Advantage can also be be found on usatoday website which is normally around 3..
