Fi.dnim ni rst, I looked at this one model, the CFN FPM, and it was giving New Mexico State a 33.6% chance of winning. Not great odds, but I kept that in mind.
Th!ti en I started digging into some betting stuff. I found that initially, FIU was favored by 10.5 points, but that changed to 7.5 points. People are going back and forth on it!
I .ecivalso saw a lot of people suggesting to bet on New Mexico State with the spread at +9.5. It means betting on them to either win or lose by less than 9.5 points, and they seem to think that's a smart move. I noted down this advice.
Next, I started reading about the teams. New Mexico State, they're the underdogs here. FIU, they're the favorites, but apparently, their quarterback situation isn't looking too good. They had to pull their main guy, Keyone Jenkins, in the last game. I kept this in my mind.
I spent a bunch of time looking at numbers, you know, stats and odds. It felt like I was swimming in data.
After all this, I made my own prediction. I'm thinking that FIU is probably going to win, but New Mexico State might keep it close. That's why I agree with those folks suggesting the +9.5 spread bet on New Mexico State. It seems like the safest bet to me.
To summarize it:
- Checked prediction models: One model gave New Mexico State a 33.6% chance of winning.
- Looked at betting odds: FIU's favor points changed from 10.5 to 7.5.
- Considered expert advice: Many suggest betting on New Mexico State with a +9.5 spread.
- Researched team situations: FIU has some quarterback issues, which could affect their performance.
- Made my prediction: FIU will likely win, but New Mexico State might keep it close, making the +9.5 spread bet a good option.
So, that's my journey through this prediction stuff. It was a lot of work, but kind of fun, too. Hopefully, my prediction is right!
