Can someone answer this.

[Paulie The Vig]

I don't do much College Football but I'll play a game or two and it's usually just a feeling. There was a time but that's another story for another time. I played Michigan today and laid 1.5 and didn't get a chance to see much of the game but I did see the last two plays of the game. Can someone tell me why Northwestern went for 2 and not Over-Time.:hang:

TIA

 

[mook]

Their coach is a moron.....kicking the FG mid 4th was stupid and going for 2 was even worse at home.....

 

[RetroVK]

with all the momentum too. Made zero sense.

Want to thank the notre dame qb for forcing the ball all game when it mattered and hanging onto it for a sack down a billion at his own 10 on fourth down ... hint ... you can go ahead and force that one ....

You got a bad number on Michigan is the first problem...line moved 4.5-5.0 points....so....

That was a battles of the uglies, for sure.

 

[RetroVK]

ya I won with mich and had 2h under 20.5 with an actual prediction I would lose it in overtime ... so that decision and result was very nice for me

 

[GatorsLeafsBills]

I had Game Under so I was happy he did. But they had lost 2 straight years in OT to Michigan so I think he was like fuck that shit again and said fuck it

Like I said I don't play college football much and really don't look at the numbers all that often but are you saying that NW was a fav at anytime during the week. I do look at the line history before a bet and never seen NW a favorite in that game. Must have miss it. Only really play Baseball and NBA. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks, I looked at BOL and seen that after I posted like I said I'm not even thinking about college football on Sunday/Monday I play a game or two for fun if I'm not doing anything on a Saturday. The question was why go for two (because after I bet the game something came up and had to leave) not that if I would have bet it on Monday I could have won. Thanks for Information good luck today.

 

[RetroVK]

yup. good luck. I can think of reasons to do it .... just not this time .. there was no major fg kicking disadavantage, it was not a game where offense had the advantage where you think you have a greater than 50% chance of converting, it was not a game where the other team had the momentum of the fourth qtr, and it wasn't a game where you were a big underdog where you are likely to be outplayed in an extra session or where your lack of depth might come into play.

Who knows .....

 

[bull]

actually, doesn't NW have a decided edge in FG kicker ?

Michigan's FG success rate is pretty poor, I believe.

I was not surprised by Fitzgerald's decision, but who knows what would have happened in OT.

pretty shitty game ,and it followed another pair of shitty games, Penn St-Indy and Iowa-Minn. Surprisingly, the Purdue-Wisconsin game tuned out to be better than the others, IMO.
