How to read this: favorites cover about half the time and overs hit about
half the time - that is the market doing its job. The value of the history is not a system, it is
the ability to check any claimed trend against 13,499 real games before you bet it.

Coverage & Methodology
Lines come from the CollegeFootballData consensus feed (largest coverage), falling
back to the first listed book. Of 13,568 games with any posted line, 13,499 have both a final
score and a closing spread (what the tables above use), and 2,379 also carry an opening line -
so line-movement analysis covers a smaller slice than results analysis. Pushes excluded from cover
rates. Home spread convention: negative = home favored.
