Biggest Travel Disadvantages This Week

Teams ranked by how much further they travelled than their opponent. At a neutral site both teams travel, so the gap between them is the burden - not the raw trip. Body-clock offset and rest-day differential compound it.

#1 Hawai'i
2,756 miles · -2h body-clock shift · +7d rest edge
Hawai'i travels 2,756 miles to face UNLV, arriving with a -2h body-clock shift.
2,013 miles · -3h body-clock shift · opponent +1d rest
Washington State travels 2,013 miles to face James Madison, arriving with a -3h body-clock shift.
#3 BYU
1,443 miles · -2h body-clock shift · opponent +1d rest
BYU travels 1,443 miles to face Cincinnati, arriving with a -2h body-clock shift.
1,301 miles · +1h body-clock shift · equal rest
East Carolina travels 1,301 miles to face UTSA, arriving with a +1h body-clock shift.
#5 Tulsa
1,237 miles · -1h body-clock shift · opponent +7d rest
Tulsa travels 1,237 miles to face Army, arriving with a -1h body-clock shift.

Highest Weather-Risk Games This Week

Games ranked by combined wind, temperature, and precipitation impact. Thresholds: sustained wind ≥ 15 mph, gusts ≥ 25 mph, temp ≤ 32°F or ≥ 95°F, precipitation chance ≥ 60%.

57°F, 19 mph wind, Partly cloudy
New Mexico State @ UTEP: 57°F, 19 mph wind, Partly cloudy: conditions historically favor the home team when passing difficulty is elevated.
39°F, 3 mph wind, 100% precip, Moderate rain
Massachusetts @ Ohio: 39°F, 3 mph wind, 100% precip, Moderate rain: conditions historically favor the home team when passing difficulty is elevated.
60°F, 5 mph wind, 100% precip, Light rain
Louisiana @ Arkansas State: 60°F, 5 mph wind, 100% precip, Light rain: conditions historically favor the home team when passing difficulty is elevated.

Strongest Home-Field Advantages This Week

Home teams ranked by stadium HFA rating. Higher values reflect stronger historical home performance at that venue. Venues above 4,000 ft are flagged for altitude disadvantage.

#1 SMU
HFA 3.8 pts · Gerald J. Ford Stadium · 32,000 capacity
SMU carries a 3.8-point HFA edge at Gerald J. Ford Stadium (32,000 capacity) against Louisville.
#2 UTSA
HFA 3.8 pts · Alamodome · 64,000 capacity
UTSA carries a 3.8-point HFA edge at Alamodome (64,000 capacity) against East Carolina.
#3 Florida
HFA 3.6 pts · Ben Hill Griffin Stadium · 88,548 capacity
Florida carries a 3.6-point HFA edge at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium (88,548 capacity) against Tennessee.

Vegas versus Prediction Markets

The bookmaker's spread against the spread implied by the Kalshi prediction market - two markets, no model. When they disagree, it is worth asking which one moves.

Book: Texas A&M -54.5 · Market: Texas A&M -29.9 · Gap: 24.6 pts
The bookmaker line is Texas A&M -54.5; the prediction market implies Texas A&M -29.9, a notable divergence from the book. Two markets, no model - a wide gap is one side waiting to move.
Book: Notre Dame -36.5 · Market: Notre Dame -25.4 · Gap: 11.1 pts
The bookmaker line is Notre Dame -36.5; the prediction market implies Notre Dame -25.4, a notable divergence from the book. Two markets, no model - a wide gap is one side waiting to move.
Book: Ohio -33.5 · Market: Ohio -22.6 · Gap: 10.9 pts
The bookmaker line is Ohio -33.5; the prediction market implies Ohio -22.6, a notable divergence from the book. Two markets, no model - a wide gap is one side waiting to move.

Model versus Market

Where the Blue Chip model line diverges most from the bookmaker line and the Kalshi prediction market - a three-way read. A large gap suggests the market may be mispricing the matchup: directional signal only, not a betting recommendation.

Model: Texas A&M -57.2 · Book: Texas A&M -54.5 · Market: Texas A&M -29.9
The model makes it Texas A&M -57.2. The bookmaker line is Texas A&M -54.5, a notable divergence from the model; the prediction market implies Texas A&M -29.9, a notable divergence from the model. Directional signal only.
#2 Mercer @ Auburn
Model: Auburn -34.9 · Book: Auburn -26.5 · Market: Auburn -18.1
The model makes it Auburn -34.9. The bookmaker line is Auburn -26.5, a notable divergence from the model; the prediction market implies Auburn -18.1, a notable divergence from the model. Directional signal only.
Model: Alabama -64.5 · Book: Alabama -50.5 · Market: unavailable
The model makes it Alabama -64.5. The bookmaker line is Alabama -50.5, a notable divergence from the model. Directional signal only.

When to Skip This Week 13 Analysis

How We Ranked Week 13's Games

Each ranked section draws from the same enriched data that powers our per-game pages. Travel distances are calculated as straight-line (great-circle) distances from each team's home market to the game stadium. Body-clock offset is the signed time-zone difference the away team crosses, or both teams in case of neutral site games. Rest-day differential is the difference in days since each team last played. Weather scoring compounds wind, temperature, and precipitation against fixed thresholds, dome stadiums are excluded as weather is irrelevant indoors, see our Weather tool for the full methodology.

HFA ratings come from our Home Field Advantage tool, which estimates the per-venue point value based on historical margin-of-victory data. Stadiums above 4,000 ft are flagged; altitude creates a documented visiting-team disadvantage. Power ratings are from the Blue Chip power-rating model. The gap between the model's implied spread and the market line is a directional signal; it is not a betting recommendation.

The Vegas versus Prediction Markets section compares the bookmaker's spread with the spread implied by the Kalshi prediction market - converted from its win probability through a fixed logistic scale - with no model involved. The Model versus Market section sets the Blue Chip model line against both of those markets as a three-way read, and each gap is described with the same language the per-game pages use. ATS records are season-to-date.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many games are in college football Week 13 2025?

Week 13 of the 2025 FBS season features 66 games tracked by Blue Chip Analytics. The full schedule, lines, and totals are listed in the game table on this page.

How does Blue Chip Analytics rank travel disadvantages?

Teams are ranked by how much further they travelled than their opponent, measured as straight-line distance from each home market to the game stadium. At a home game the host travels nothing, so this is simply the visitor's trip; at a neutral site both teams travel and the gap between them is the burden. Body-clock offset (time-zone hours crossed) is listed alongside distance as a compound fatigue indicator.

What weather conditions qualify as high-risk for this week?

Games are flagged when the kickoff-hour forecast meets at least one of: sustained wind ≥ 15 mph, gusts ≥ 25 mph, temperature ≤ 32°F or ≥ 95°F, or a precipitation chance ≥ 60%. Scores compound across all factors: a cold and windy game ranks higher than a mildly breezy one. Weeks with no game past these thresholds show no weather section at all.

What is a Home Field Advantage (HFA) rating?

Blue Chip's HFA rating estimates the point value of playing at home at a specific stadium, based on historical margin-of-victory data. A rating of 3.0 means the home team historically performs about 3 points better at that venue than their power ratings alone would predict.

What does the Vegas versus Prediction Markets section show?

It ranks games by how far the bookmaker's spread sits from the spread implied by the Kalshi prediction market. Kalshi's win probability is converted to a spread through a fixed logistic scale, and no model is involved - it is one market against another. A wide gap is a directional flag, not a betting recommendation.

What does the Model versus Market section show?

It sets the Blue Chip model line against both the bookmaker line and the Kalshi-implied line - a three-way read - and ranks games by the model's largest disagreement with either market. The size of each gap is described in the same language the per-game pages use. Both the model and the markets can be wrong: treat it as a directional flag, not a pick.

What qualifies as a notable ATS record?

Teams are flagged when at least 4 of their games this season have produced a decided ATS result and their cover rate is ≥60% (hot) or ≤40% (cold). Records are season-to-date and, especially early on, rest on small samples - a hot or cold streak here is context to note, not a demonstrated edge.

Week 13 of the 2025 season features 66 FBS games; the ranked sections above surface the travel, weather, HFA, market-vs-market, model-vs-market, and ATS-record edges most relevant to analysts and informed fans.
