Akron Zips @ Minnesota Golden Gophers

Published pick reasoning

5★ official model pick (3u). Frozen distribution shows 42.0% projected EV at the offered price; the uncertainty-adjusted lower bound is 32.9% (22.2-point probability edge) versus a 5.5% release floor. Projected score: 28.21-45.44 (73.65 total). Model: football_possession_sim_v2 football-possession-sim-v2.0.0-ts. Inputs: 50,000 seeded NCAAF possession simulations with down-and-distance, clock, score state, play calling, sacks, turnovers, penalties, fourth downs, field goals, punts, overtime and player allocation inside one coherent game world. Historical signals cannot add release points; only matured forward-tested residual effects may adjust the underlying score means.
