Frequently asked questions
- What is the projected total for Wisconsin vs UCLA?
- Our model projects 45.4 combined points. Maiden grades the win probability, not the total, and that win probability opens to everyone the moment this game is played.
- How often is Maiden right at this confidence level?
- Picks we published between 65% to 70% have won 23 of 30 college football games, 77%. That is the whole point of publishing a probability rather than a name: you can check for yourself whether a number in that range has actually meant what it said. The full table, every band and every sport, is on our track record page.
- Where does the Wisconsin vs UCLA 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 UCLA Bruins hosting Wisconsin Badgers. 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.
