And down the stretch we come! We outperformed on Saturday, but so did one of our last two opponents. Little change - even with the Badger blowout in Madison - but things for this coming Saturday look very similar to this past Saturday.
Week 12 can be found here.
As always, these are for entertainment purposes only.
I take the GOLDEN_MEAN score, found here, and add the home-field advantage to the home team to come up with predicted spreads/favorites. I've also noted the PREDICTOR spreads as well, in blue.
@ Nebraska +13.5 (+10)
@ Wisconsin +19 (+15.5)
Predicted Record 7-5 (4-4)
Likely losses (>6 point difference in favor of opponent): @ Nebraska, @ Wisconsin
Looking back on the season to date, our record by my admittedly loose categorization - note, I did not do predictions for the EIU game:
Likely wins (>6 point difference in favor of Gophers, week of the game): 3-1
MTSU -10
SJSU -6.5
Purdue -14.5
@ Illinois -8.5
Toss-ups (within 6 points either way): 3-0
@ Michigan +4
Northwestern -1.5
Iowa +3
Likely losses (>6 point difference in favor of opponent): 0-2
@ TCU +22
Ohio State +13.5
Our last two games fall into the last category, so we'll need to buck a trend that goes back to Northwestern last year if we want to get a W in the next couple - win a game where we are not relatively close by the Sagarin numbers. Would love to see it happen!
