How often the favourite won, how often the home side won, and how often the total went over — across 10,261 played NCAAF games in AccuScore's archive. None of this is our model. The favourite is whichever side the bookmakers priced shorter, and the result is the result.
Seasons run August to February and are labelled by the year they start. The favourite is the side laying points on the Vegas spread.

Home teams won 58.1% of 10,261 games in the archive.
Of 9,695 games with a posted total, 48.1% went over. A rate near half is what an efficient market looks like — the number is interesting when a season moves away from it.
