Wednesday Dec 31, 2008
With another 4 games played and 5 more on tap today, it is time for another update.
In picking winners I went 3-1 and against the spread 2-2.
- Missouri/Northwestern - Picked Missouri by 8.6 and they won by 7 and had Northwestern +13
- Maryland Nevada - Picked Maryland by 1.2 and they won by 7 and naturally got the spread win too as they were 2.5 point dogs
- Rice/Western Michigan - Picked Rice by 0.6 and they won big but missed on the spread having Western Michigan +3
- Oregon/Oklahoma State - Had Oklahoma State winning and covering the 2.5 but Oregon won so missed on both.
As far as the conferences go, here is the status:
| Conference | Predicted Record | Actual Record |
|---|---|---|
| ACC | 7-3 | 3-3 |
| Big-Televen | 1-6 | 0-2 |
| Big-12 | 7-0 | 1-1 |
| Big-East | 3-3 | 3-0 |
| C-USA | 2-4 | 2-1 |
| Independents | 1-1 | 1-1 |
| MAC | 3-2 | 0-3 |
| Mountain West | 1-4 | 2-1 |
| Pac-10 | 4-1 | 3-0 |
| SEC | 2-6 | 0-0 |
| Sun Belt | 1-1 | 1-1 |
| WAC | 2-3 | 1-4 |
My predictions are generally on target, especially for those that are done nailing the Sun Belt and Independents and only 1 game off for the WAC. We'll see if Oklahoma State losing is an omen for the Big-12 though as they are just off to a 1-1 start after a 7-0 prediction.
There are 5 more games today so we'll see if I can post another update tomorrow morning.
