New selections require positive expected value at a verified recent price and historically validated market calibration. A projected winner or high probability alone does not qualify a bet.
No verified games on today’s imported slate. Limited coverage does not establish that no games are scheduled.
Unvalidated residual estimates are descriptive research, not published bets. Expected value below is arithmetic per unit staked, not a validated profit forecast; pushes return the stake.

Ridge regression uses rolling offense, defense, conversion efficiency, turnovers, recent margin, pace, rest and site. Missing metrics use declared priors with missingness indicators.
Weather and verified injuries are context only: no tested historical coefficients are available. No numerical adjustment is invented.
Opponent strength is represented by the opponent’s prior statistical profile; CFBD paid adjusted metrics are not requested.
Win probability is an empirical residual estimate, not a guaranteed outcome. Legacy validation data has not been independently reconciled to CFBD.
