College Football Trends

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ! It is important that you understand how we’re presenting these picks on this page, otherwise you may become confused and be playing the opposite of what we’re actually recommending.

The idea here is that we think trends are crap. We are posting a trend, then noting what the trend suggests that you PLAY. WE HOWEVER, ARE FADING (MOST OF, BUT NOT ALL) THESE TRENDS AND TAKING THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE TREND RECOMMENDS. This means that even though we note the trend appearing to favor a certain team statistically, we are actually backing the opposite side.

There is an old saying that goes something like “Let the trend be your friend.” We’re out to prove this wrong, as w4hat’s old news is old news. Enjoy! (Plays posted by Friday afternoon of each week)
