I love systems.
Take a look at the production of the players being replaced by the production of the players coming in. You may have to use league averages as a guide if incoming statistics are unknown. It’s easiest with offensive ball handlers but using this approach a reasonable estimate of incoming player impact on the overall team profile can be made.Explain in detail how your system is capturing incoming and outgoing transfers
Damn. Homer system has over an 11 point gap.Sagarin has NDSU at +7.65. We have NDSU -4. Odds makers at MGM (MIDAS) NDSU +9.5. We will take the 9.5.
Co is the favorite Sagarin has Co at 48 and NDSU 69. If NDSU wins it’s an upset to-be-sure. That’s what makes this such a big game. There is ample reason to believe The BISON will win this one. It’s a big game all-right. Maybe not as big as Kansas State or Iowa but bigger than the AZ game.
So if you knew a damn thing you'd know the production coming in tends to far exceed the production going out.Take a look at the production of the players being replaced by the production of the players coming in.

You know the team isn’t reading this, right? It’s OK for you to be more of a fan and less diplomatic.I think we all have a lot of respect for the NDSU program and what it has achieved. There is an established system and culture which works and marches on through coaching changes. And teams that know how to win and expect to find a way are also the most dangerous to upset you because they won't beat themselves or quit if they get down. Based on personnel, CU should win by multiple scores but NDSU is not going to roll over and let that happen - Buffs are going to need to be focused, execute basics, make the plays that are available, and not allow penalties, turnovers or assignment breakdowns leave the door open.
P.S. They suck and we will crush them!You know the team isn’t reading this, right? It’s OK for you to be more of a fan and less diplomatic.
So third quarter when CU pulls away and winsI have read and understand there is a lot of confidence in the receivers but not sure about offensive line. Otherwise fill me in
I should have mentioned that on tha GAM game model the Co Buffaloes don’t go into the win column on this game until the passing game goes over 400 yds.
Sneak '****ty' preview?P.S. They suck and we will crush them!
Who is 'we'?We have NDSU -4.
tHE sYsTEmWho is 'we'?
Are you expecting much of an improvement over the 69 yards rushing and 295 yds passing. How about defense? How much of an improvement on the 454 yds allowed/game? These are the kind of numbers NDSU can feast on.So if you knew a damn thing you'd know the production coming in tends to far exceed the production going out.
But you're right Hayes, Green, Okunlola, Nwanwko, Hodge, McKinney, Wester, Sheppard, Mayers, Benson, etc didn't do anything at their last school, just rode the bench.
I bet you don't know a single one of those non-WR guys.
Oh are we trotting out the same guys now? Or did the front 7 change over? Didn't bring in Mayers/Benson/Seaton/Johnson + Brown who would have been a starter last year had he been eligible?Are you expecting much of an improvement over the 69 yards rushing and 295 yds passing. How about defense? How much of an improvement on the 454 yds allowed/game? These are the kind of numbers NDSU can feast on.
No slappy, we expect them to be exactly the same. ****, this guy is Cliff Claven.Are you expecting much of an improvement over the 69 yards rushing and 295 yds passing. How about defense? How much of an improvement on the 454 yds allowed/game? These are the kind of numbers NDSU can feast on.
More evidence that you are completely clueless.Are you expecting much of an improvement over the 69 yards rushing and 295 yds passing. How about defense? How much of an improvement on the 454 yds allowed/game? These are the kind of numbers NDSU can feast on.
What do you expect? How many yards rushing do you think NDSU can get? Passing? I believe they get their 400 yds. It’s doubtful Co can get 550, which they need.No slappy, we expect them to be exactly the same. ****, this guy is Cliff Claven.
I expect we’ll run slap over you and if it goes otherwise I’ll be disappointed. But I won’t bloviate all over a bye son message board.What do you expect? How many yards rushing do you think NDSU can get? Passing? I believe they get their 400 yds. It’s doubtful Co can get 550, which they need.
Game plan will come into play if you want to talk individual players. NDSU is kind of a college football brain trust. Ask Desmond King if a great game plan can neutralize a Big 10 All American?
Again, coaching.
It just means we’ve made the big time. I wish UK was here to invite him to the politics forum.
Travis Hunter will say hello, that's all I got to say.Sagarin has NDSU at +7.65. We have NDSU -4. Odds makers at MGM (MIDAS) NDSU +9.5. We will take the 9.5.
Co is the favorite Sagarin has Co at 48 and NDSU 69. If NDSU wins it’s an upset to-be-sure. That’s what makes this such a big game. There is ample reason to believe The BISON will win this one. It’s a big game all-right. Maybe not as big as Kansas State or Iowa but bigger than the AZ game.
This all makes sense. However, what data are you using to make those computations? How do you account for the changes in both teams since last year?Yes, they are eqivalently different. The field length is simply an expression of the slope of a line based on an offense and defenses performance against opposing teams. When a team plays NDSU the BISON offense is playing “downhill”. That’s good. So is Co but NDSUs hill is steeper. Iffenses play “uphill” against The BISON defense. The Co defense is allowing the opposition to play “downhill”
You can see the advantage NDSU has. It’s easier on both sides of the ball.
Ok, I lied. Idiot doesn't.This all makes sense. However, what data are you using to make those computations? How do you account for the changes in both teams since last year?
Your HC left, your team has been decimated by the portal, best overall player left, your best defensive player is out with injury. NDSU hasn’t beat a P4 team since 2016 and is no longer the cream of the short bus FCS. There are plenty of non-CU related reasons why this game is almost a double digit spread and I would argue the only reason it’s not 14-17 point spread right now is because people don’t know what CU hasOf course each of you questioning the system prediction expected an answer. If you don’t want to discuss the game what’s the beef?
The basic character of the 1-8 Buffaloes has changed with changing personnel. Nobody’s arguing that. Without the change NDSU is more like a 13/14 pt favorite. The GAM system recognized that with the adjustment to BISON -4. Again what’s the beef. The system also says the 9.5 from the odds makers is really +13.5 for The Herd.
We system lovers like to call them reversals, where the odds-makers are opposite the GAM.
That 9.5 is going to be huge in any scenario where NDSU keeps it close.
Right now it’s BISON +9.5 at MGM. Like Co it’s -110 to bet the points. Take “The Herd” and the points. History is with “The Herd” when you take the points. I got 45 once against the gophers who they beat twice. 9.5 here is pretty generous too.
The exciting bet is the money line. It’s BISON +270! Use your profits from the line bet to hedge this upset and triple your money.
We don’t like the over under bet. It’s 58.5 for Thursdays game. If you do bet the O/U we suggest you take the over which is running -115. The under is less expensive @ -105. This game may be as wide open as many are predicting.
Co may have the ability to score quickly but NDSU has the ability to control the clock and score.
We see:
NDSU BISON @ Co Buffalos
NDSU -4
O/U 67.5
Say
NDSU 36 Co Buffalos 32
A word of caution. There was a similar situation to this in 2022 when The BISON visited Arizona. They lost by 3 in a game an impartial observer would say was lost by The BISON more than won by AZ. They were able to capitalize just enough on a game where NDSU put up 407 yds vs Az with 394. It was a good game. This one could look a lot like it.
I am afraid you fellows have forced me into a defensive position. I don’t want to miss-represent myself. Co needs 550 yds total and 425 in the air or some combination thereof to win if they can’t shut down the average BISON day.The best part of this is the evolution of this poster in just a few hours. He came in pretending he was just a guy with a betting system dropping unbiased tips. He then admitted he’s a fan of NDSU but just because they’ve “made him a lot of money”. Now it’s coming out in full blown fanboi mode by suggesting CU needs 550 passing yards to win and that NDSU is a “College Football brain trust”.
