Pick of the Day

Texas

It's kind of strange to pick the Longhorns as my most confident pick when they are going up against a team that already beat them this year, but that game came on the road against TCU, and it was only by a point, and it's the only conference game the Horned Frogs have won so far.

  1. How do you count a win? By the point toal you say or just straight up W?

    1. The team's rating is affected by how well they perform vs. how well they should perform against each specific opponent. If you should beat a team by 1 and beat them by 30, that does more for you than beating a team that you should beat by 25 by 30.

    2. As far as my daily and overall win-loss record, that is based strictly on whether the team I picked won the game.
