The Ranker slayed ESPN’s FPI and Jeff Sagarin’s ratings in Week 7’s picks against the spread.
Last week’s results
- TheRankerPit: 33-26-1, 55.9%
- Jeff Sagarin: 23-35-1, 39.7%
- ESPN FPI: 26-33-1, 44.1%
The Ranker also did well with last week’s upset picks: 5-5, 50%.
The Ranker’s high confidence picks were not impressive (12-12, 50%), which led me to take a closer look at the data. I’ve found a better set of parameters to identify “high confidence” picks moving forward. These picks were 5-2 (71%) last week, 24-10 (71%) on the season.
