Later in the day, No. 1 Oregon (-3) faces No. 3 Penn State in the Big Ten Championship, which begins at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. Another likely College Football Playoff automatic bid is up for grabs when No. 8 SMU (-2.5) squares off against No. 17 Clemson in the ACC Championship at 8 p.m. ET. Before making any Championship Week college football picks or college football score predictions, you need to see the college football against the spread, over/under and money-line predictions powered by the self-learning SportsLine AI.
Built using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques by SportsLine's Data Science team, AI Predictions and AI Ratings are generated for each game. The AI predictions are determined by statistically learning from each team's historical data and then quantitatively evaluating the strength of the opponent's defense by assigning a numeric value out of 100 called a matchup score.
Once a prediction is formulated, the AI rating is generated using the prediction, the matchup score, and the odds of the market. For example, you could see an A-rating on an over bet if a team is facing a poor defense, their prediction differs from the line and there are favorable odds.
In addition, SportsLine AI is the first fully automated predictive model at SportsLine. It continuously refreshes on the most recent available data and can help you spot the biggest discrepancies in the lines.
