Frequently asked questions

What is the projected total for Stanford vs Notre Dame?

Our model projects 55.5 combined points. Maiden grades the win probability, not the total, and that win probability opens to everyone the moment this game is played.

Where does the Stanford vs Notre Dame win probability come from?

We fit power ratings to eleven seasons of college football results, blend them with published efficiency ratings and recruiting talent, and adjust for home advantage, with Notre Dame Fighting Irish hosting Stanford Cardinal. The win-probability model is checked against more than six thousand out-of-sample games. No sportsbook line goes into it, and none appears on this page.

Is this betting advice?

No. Maiden publishes a win probability on every pick and grades every one of them in public, so there is a record to check rather than a claim to take on trust. We never tell anyone what to back or how much, and no outcome is guaranteed.
