Week 1 FCS Forecasts

Welcome to my Friday Blog and football season has finally started! It is unusual that 7 games have been played already and most weeks just one game will have been played.

For the last couple of years I have picked the games involving the Top 25 teams and thrown in a couple of upset picks. This year I thought you might be interested in who I think will win EACH FBS game this weekend. Every Friday I will give you my personal forecast on every game that involves a FBS team.


This week I am also listing the projected scores from my computers forecast. Another column shows you the computers yardage forecast for each game. I think it will be interesting to see who the computer picks to win the yardage battle and see if they win the game. In my College Football magazine I have the plus and minus ratings. I update them weekly and then factor in the home edge and I will show you who the Plus Minus ratings forecast. I will also list who Vegas has favored to win each week and we can see how they do picking the actual winners of games. There is also a WEEKLY POLL which you can enter for free each week. What I will do is on Friday morning I will tabulate the vote on each game and list who the fans are picking to win the games. If you check out my daily blogs on July 30th, July 20th, July 15th, etc, you will see that I have developed a new power rating which takes the yards and points gained against an opponent and factors in that opponents grade to give a team an individual game rating. After 3 weeks I will add up each teams individual game rating, average it and turn it into a power rating. I will then list that each week. I may even add some other power rating forecast to the mix.

Listed below are each of these category picks for this week and I will then have a running total for the season for them! Here are the selections for the first Saturday of college Football!
