I guess. Both teams have scored a lot of points against a weak schedule, so the metrics aren't going to show much of an advantage for UCF. I'd be shocked if they won by less than 10 though. I haven't seen either team much, but I think I've watched about 10 minutes of UCF this season and they scored about 5 TDs.

You're missing the point, I think.

I am not trying to predict what I think should happen in the game. I gave up on that a long time ago. I am not smarter than anyone else that spends a lot of time watching college football. I am trying to wager money based on public sentiment, which I think is skewed way too far in one direction. I'm trying to get ~60%+ of these wagers correct and this game looks like a good value to me relative to others on the slate.

The GT -3 call against Duke is a pretty similar setup... Difference being that GT is favored.

The NFL is a different animal, but this week I just think there are some road teams not getting enough credit (PHI JAX BAL... Maybe LAR). I'm usually a home dog guy, but that's a trend that may be played out a bit right now.
 
Yup.

I don't care if Duke is prepared... I think GT is going to run all over them. That's the entirety of my thesis.

I never claimed I was profound.

Why do I have to keep telling you Ga Tech sucks ?

The second guy should take the first guy’s advice.

And I’ve NEVER claimed to bat .1000.

Duke beat up GT. Not a good way for me to start a weekend of gambling on college football.

But it’s one game.

I hope you bat better than .1000. That would mean you only hit 1 out of every 10. But if you hit 1.000, you'd be winning every bet.
 
NFL Action Today:
JAX -3 DAL
HOU -10 BUF
TB +3 ATL
BAL -3 TEN

Tennessee getting a lot of love because they are 2-0 ATS as a home dog this year (and won both of those games outright).

Reminder that my play this week was road teams... PHI JAX TB BAL.

Kind of like NE & GB tonight and tomorrow night, but it'll depend on how things go today.

Good day in college yesterday after ugly GT start.

looks like these are going to go 1-3 or 2-2 at best but we all agreed these were good picks but players and refs did not cooperate

That's gambling haha. I've stayed away almost all year, it would have been a rough one if not.
 
Another brutal weekend betting college games. Didn't bet yesterday but took GB -9.5 tonight.
 
This felt like a survive-and-advance type game for GB. Took the Niners +10.
 
Took GB in my survivor league pool trying to be aggressive. Less than 100 peeps left out of 16,000. Slightly nervous right now :eek:
 
How big is the pot?
 
Like 15 grand. Think everyone paid $10 a team, as many entries as you wanted, and the guy hosting it took a small % for running it. I wouldn’t pay more than $10-$20 with multiple entries allowed.
