SpreadUGA -40.5 logged live now: WKU +40.5 — the pick stands, the number moved · ours UGA -25.2

The market's move decides. The line opened UGA -39.5 and is now UGA -40.5, toward UGA; since 2021 the side the market moves toward has covered 54.7% at the opener, and our own number has carried nothing the closing line lacks. Our number at the pick: UGA by 33.6 — the other side, overruled.

no pick

No WKU team-total pick: the market set both the spread and the total on this game, so the team totals are the book's own arithmetic and we hold no number of our own.

no pick

No UGA team-total pick: the market set both the spread and the total on this game, so the team totals are the book's own arithmetic and we hold no number of our own (those two picks do imply UGA more than 48.0).

The gold price is the best available on that side; a gold marks the side our number implies — a read, not a pick. TT is a team total — that team’s own points, not the game’s; columns are empty where no book hangs one. Send to book opens whichever book you tapped, not the one we would have picked. Prices are the books’ own.

How often the side we favoured covered, by how far our number sat from the market’s. Break-even at −110 is 52.4% — no bucket reaches it, and the rate falls as we disagree more. The further we sit from the market, the worse we have done.

Top-rated players from last season, ranked within their position across D1. A grade measures what a player produced, and no 2026 game has been played yet — so this is who produced for these programs in 2025, not a claim about who is on the field this year.
