Football - Week 2 Bet Guide

09/04/2024

More data should mean better results!  It's time for the model's guide to Week 2!

One thing to note!  The model does take into account the last four games played by all the teams it predicts for.  This means, there is some data being used from last season still.  That said, this can only skew the spread data, not the money line data.  While less profitable, it may be more beneficial in the long run to focus the money line odds until later in the season.

With that out of the way, here we go:
