I have finally put up the awards page for the 2006 NCAA football season. I still haven't started the the NFL.
I got the superbowl pick wrong so my NFL picks ended up 15-11. 57.7% for the NFL season.
The final college record was 27-20, 57.4%. So I was a 57% picker across the board.
I had a miserable season last year and stopped making picks at end of the season.
The year before that I was 62% in the NFL and 54% for college, and 57% combined.
So this year was back to the norm.
Compare my numbers (all free picks) to the guy that claims his picks moves the line, and you'll find I am an incredible bargain.

Here are a couple of our studies recently in the news. I worked on the one about loneliness, or better, social isolation.

My final pick for the 2006 football season is Chicago +7 in the superbowl.
What is interesting about this is that the computer have the game as a virtual tie,
the median is basically a tie and the average is the colts by half a points. So why is the line 7 points?
The Dallas Morning News has a formula where they look at 13 statistical categories and the team that is better in the most categories has won the superbowl 28 out of 32 times. This year Chicago is better in 10 out of the 13 categories. So will it be Chicago in a landslide? There was a similar situation back when Oakland was favored over Tampa Bay, and Tampa won that one easily.
