Hey Bob,
You have access to the CFB predictions, which are on the main member prediction page. This is all that’s in the report right now.
By Monday, I’ll make the report available to members with the write ups and pool advice.
Ed
St. Mary’s at California: 7.1 ens, 6.2 points, 7.5 market, 9.8 pre. what does this really mean who going to win and by how much
I just don’t understand your predictions..
As with the football predictions, a negative number implies the second team as the favorite. For example, California at Stanford: -3.1 implies that Stanford will win by 3.1 points.
The ‘ens’ is the best prediction, and this gets broken down into 3 parts as explained on the page.
