Line came back out at -12.5 haha
Really like this team
Completely agree, as they are very well rounded and well coached and also just fun to watch, as they play well to their strengths. Also, nothing against Ball State but I would have liked to see SJSU get a chance against a little bit higher level of competition during bowl season, but hopefully they come out fired up and dismantle BSU in this one.
They should. The 2h vs Nevada then the game against Boise they balled out
Astute move here. Agree with your sentiment.
Honestly probably driven by more 1/2 point beats than I care to remember, as I tend to forget the 1/2 point wins, but those 1/2 point losses tend to stay with me longer, but with all that said, I hope Tulsa wins by 30.
Everything I have heard here in the Carolinas is that Coastal is all about making a statement and also securing an undefeated season, so I would not be surprised to see them win big, but I just don't have enough feel for this one either way to make it a play, but if I was going to pick a side, it would be Coastal.
I've been getting killed on that...I've probably lost 4-5 college hoops games by a 1/2 point already and several college football games this year like you. My problem is that since I switched to the legal books, they give you the ability to shop lines, but the value is horrendous, and most of the time you can't find the option for just a 1/2 point buy. You'll see the menu for any line you want, but if the posted line is 1.5 for example and you like the dog, sometimes the next closest available line is +3. When I like the favorite in situations like that, I've just been laying the ML like you did.
My site, Safebet 365, offers lines in half point increments and the juice is tolerable.
I have lost 6 cbb games by a 1/2 point so far this year, as last time out I bought my Heels from 2 to 2.5 and they lost by 3....brutal because the final line was -2 so I thought I had solid value with +2.5....
It's funny, because I hate pushes so I am usually sitting on a half and probably 99% of the time it never comes into play, but boy do I remember those 1%!
I had three losses like that last Saturday.
Definitely something to consider, but I think Georgia may feel like they have something to prove as all anyone is talking about SEC wise is Bama and then A&M and then Florida, as Georgia is an afterthought at best, so what better way than to make a statement than to run roughshod over one of the "darlings" such as Cincy.
In these situations, I will always lean to the offense, because defense take more effort and heart in my opinion, so assuming someone doesn't want to be there, it should mean more missed tackles and blown coverages, leading to more points. Not saying this is the case today, as my play is against the Miami and Okie State defenses period, as I think both teams can hit 30 today, regardless of motivation or not.
Hope you jumped on board with me yesterday!
