Outcome differences marked with *, detail differences in bold.

Haven’t seen many of these teams play, only Bison, I’ll State and Montana (choke against Und). I have applied a new strength of schedule adjustment this morning. It’s been in development for several years. Let’s see if all the hard work and expense of running this confounded machine pays off.

There is $2,321 on the line this first round. It’s all winnings from the season. After taking the Bison and points for the big win against the Buffs I continued to successfully follow them. You can call the games all day long and it’s fun. The madness is in the method. But the real game is the odds. My system is really used not to predict games, although it does well so far, rather to guide your hand against the odds.

The GAM tells you when to stay on the sidelines and on bettable games when to move and how. We have the secret of football in our possession.

Hopefully this isn’t the week it crashes and burns. These are, in some cases, actual college kids playing. No telling how they will be mentally and physically on game day.

Ps. The GAM no longer uses a coal fired boiler system. It has gone green. Natural gas runs our 13,500 watt Cummins home standby generator which is sufficient to power the GAM. We have to turn this climate thing around. Higher taxes are going to take hold sometime in the next year or so but in the meantime everyone must, like we are, act locally and go green. We are planning a well so we won’t even use city water to cool the GAM! I’m going to slap a solar panel on the circuit too! Might get a green tattoo as well.

Ps. Kevin, what’s that meth barn I’ve read about use for power?

Looking at the picks in the Virtual field thread and this one there are some differences arising from the new strength of schedule adjustment. In most cases the teams stack- up well with the promise of a good competitive game.

Things worked out well.

The experts on bisonville predicted the outcomes better than the GAM. We were 4-4 on the won loss

It was a different story at Draft Kings. Using the spread, O/U and the money line we had a possible 24 transactions. We went on 19 of them putting $2,321 out and getting $3,103 in payouts for a net gain of $782!

Congratulations to those prognosticators over at bv! Thank you draft kings. Too early to work on round 2 but the powder kegs are full and dry!

It’s not the spread. It’s the odds.

I didn’t see any of the games. I spend far more time with the stat sheets than watching the spectacle on tv.

The Montana game was on a big screen and it seemed every time I looked up somebody was running something back. Many of the games were competitive. Not sure about the “quality” of play but I imagine fun to watch. You could see parity in the pre-game paper work here at GAM headquarters.

The second round may not be as competitive. NDSU will come out huge favorites. I expect one of this weeks home teams will be the champion. I’ll know more once the numbers are run. .
