It’s officially Feast Week — the most chaotic, high-volume, opportunity-packed week in all of college basketball.

From morning tip-offs to late-night island tournaments, the entire country is watching… and it’s exactly the type of environment where Rithmm’s predictive models shine.

Feast Week brings:

- Neutral-site gyms  
- Back-to-backs and short rest  
- Mid-major matchups the market misprices  
- Rapid line movement  
- Huge information gaps for oddsmakers  

Where the public sees randomness, Rithmm sees structure — and edges.

The Rithmm House Model Is Rolling

The Rithmm House Model has been scorching to start the season, especially on spread favorites:

- 39–25 ATS (+11.69 units)

For this early in the season — with wild travel, new rotations, and unpredictable shooting environments — stacking nearly 12 units on favorites alone shows just how strong the model’s underlying inputs are.

And today’s matchup fits directly into that strength profile.

Today’s Feast Week Pick: Akron -1.5 vs Yale

Matchup: Akron vs Yale  
Location: Virgin Islands Sport & Fitness Center (neutral site)  
Tip: 11/24 at 8:00 PM ET (ESPN+)

Rithmm Model Projection
- Akron: 80.3  
- Yale: 78.1  
- Projected Spread: Akron -2.3  
- Market Line: Akron -1.5  
- Win Chance: 53.5%  
- DTM: +3.4%

Why the Model Likes Akron

- Akron is 4–0 ATS, consistently outperforming expectations.  
- Yale is just 2–3 ATS, showing volatility against efficient offenses.  
- Akron grades better in opponent-adjusted scoring and shot quality.  
- Neutral courts amplify Akron’s efficiency edge.  
- This pick aligns directly with the model’s strongest category this season:  
 Spread favorites (39–25 ATS).

Feast Week is chaotic — which is exactly why small edges matter.  
This is a classic case of grabbing an extra point of value before the market adjusts.
