PredictionMachine.com's picks use the state-of-the-art Predictalator, which plays every game 50,000 times before it's actually played to give you the angle you need. This technology has been tremendous recently, both on this site - picking over 70% against-the-spread with our Locks of the Week and over 62% with Paul's Picks in college football, the NFL and the NCAA Tournament - and in previous years with football where Paul Bessire has turned sports investing into a lucrative profession. He proved that by besting over 100 prognosticators in the inaugural Richard Gardner Pro Football Pick'em (against the spread) contest. And finally, PredictionMachine.com finished the 2011 NFL postseason 11-0 against-the-spread.

Last season in college football, Week 1 was one of the Predictalator's strongest weeks, accurately predicting 61.5% all playable plays for a net $541 return from a normal $50 player using the play value recommendations. The regular season as a whole was just as strong, especially with our highlighted plays including:

• ATS Locks of the Week: 10-4 ATS (71%)
• ATS Top Plays of the Day: 35-14 ATS (69%)
• Paul's Picks: 37-19 ATS (66%)

In addition to the free pick, Week 1 College Football Picks feature one team that covers the spread 61.8% of the time to become our first "Lock of the Week" of the season as well as a total if 21 plays that cover the spread 57%+ of the time to qualify as "normal" or better plays. Gain the edge you need with this week's picks.
