About Jake Novakovich

Jake is an avid college football bettor and independent researcher. He began writing about betting for WagerWire in 2023, producing weekly college football previews and market breakdowns, and has since built a data-first, value-over-hype approach centered on CLV. In 2025, Jake tracked all 789 of his CFB bets and finished +93 units, beating the closing line on 71% of the pre-game plays he logged. He backs his picks with his own research, including a situational-spot schedule analyzer and a top-250 player injury tracker. College football is his singular focus, from the Power 4 through the Group of 6, and he writes the way he bets - numbers first.
