What Are the
Best Systems?
That's debatable.
However, thanks to
Todd Beck, who puts a lot of
work into tracking such things, I
have compiled a couple of lists
that will give you a good idea -
one for the NFL and one for NCAA
Football. Here's the setup I use to
choose the two predictive systems
on the Superlist.
To make the lists, I used four
categories - Straight-Up Winners
for the season and for the second
half, and Against the Spread for
the season and for the second half.
The winner of the latest season in
each of the four categories gets
ten points, the winner of the
previous season gets nine, and so
on to the tenth season back
Here is how they scored this
season:
