2 modelsHouse Rules, Key Number CFBWhy 2 models like it
House Rules- Under 45.5 wins at 45; under 45 pushes at 45.
- ProphetX quotes under 45.5 at +113 (46.95¢) versus under 45 at -280 (73.68¢).
- Expected, not confirmed, depth-chart availability leaves late personnel uncertainty.
Key Number CFB- The 28.36-point probability gap between the two under quotes vastly exceeds the empirical mass expected between 45.5 and 46.5.
- Five-game offense/defense scoring midpoint is about 48.7 points; the efficiency read does not support an uncontrolled Columbia-Dartmouth shootout.
- Most likely loss: Columbia's 27.2-point offense and Dartmouth's 22.8 points allowed produce enough scoring for 46 or more.
