Our PRO System named “Windy Unders” provides an actionable strategy for bettors.
This system shows a 58% success rate in betting the under for college football games when wind speeds range between 13 and 34 miles per hour, accumulated from an extensive sample of over 1,000 bets. Here, the direction of the wind is irrelevant; the mere presence of strong winds carries weight in the prediction.
Why do strong winds matter so much in these games? The impact is twofold. First, windy conditions frequently hinder accurate field goal kicking, limiting scoring opportunities. Second, it disrupts the passing game, particularly affecting teams that rely on aerial assaults to move the chains.

As luck would have it, the Ann Arbor forecast for Saturday afternoon indicates wind speeds at 13 miles per hour, fitting squarely within the “Windy Unders” criteria. These conditions suggest a higher likelihood of a game focused more on ground control and short, conservative passes, ultimately pushing the game towards a lower scoring total.
