SMU at Syracuse: our pick

We called SMU at 78%, locked Oct 31, 10:00 AM ET, 1 hour before kickoff.

Final: SMU 27–30 Syracuse. Wrong.

Why this pick?

Our 78% is the betting market's own price for SMU: 8 sportsbooks' prices, averaged, with their margin taken out. It is not a secret model.

The market closed where we called it.

Our last 4 graded calls on SMU: 4 right.

At 78%, a pick like this still loses about 22 times in 100.

What we add is timing: we watch this game live and email members when the pick pulls well ahead, so they can check the cash-out at their own sportsbook.
