Ok lost my Michigan bet but will get it back plus 500 when I put 1000 on Georgia vs TCU tomorrow. As long as the line is under 11.5.
The Ohio State played a great game and fell a little short.
Had a great New Years Eve and hope all of you had a great one too.

Dicks 41

But I do love to watch the games after know-it-alls tell me how the games will end and they don’t. :lol:

Because now you’re so sure that Georgia will beat TCU big.

Georgia will hang a minimum of 54 on TCU. Opening line is 14. Still betting it because I don't see TCU scoring 40.

I don’t think anyone was expecting all four teams scoring more than 41. 83 and 96 total points is pretty astonishing. Truly exciting games. Ton of points played down to the wire.

Ah yes, because your last prediction was so spot on, right? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Will you mind if they go ahead and play the game, Glenn? Even if you have it pre-determined?

What you do is take the known data and statistics. Evaluate them and then make an informed and calculated position on the outcome.
It isn't a coin flip as you believe.

They do play the game for a reason. Take yesterday's Michigan game. Twice scUM had the ball on the 2 yard line and came away scoreless. Add an extremely rare pick6. Which I believe was UM's only one this season and you have 3 plays which was the difference between scUM winning by 12 to 18 and losing.

Those things happen in a game. Let them lineup and play 10times Michigan wins 8 of 10 with 6 being blowouts.

But, you think every game is a coin flip.

Not a coin flip. But you DON'T know who will win. It's all on a ball bounce. or a pass flying a bit high. Once the ball is kicked off, the game is played.

I know, when my Dallas friends and I went to the Packers-Cowboys game, I was joking it was going to be a long ride back to Milwaukee, because the Cowboys were going to pound the Packers. Didn't turn out that way.

Fact is, your informed opinion was thrown out the window both games. And we DON'T know what will happen the next game.

But it'll probably be exciting. I'm usually an underdog kinda guy, so I'll probably root for TCU. The Cinderella story. But then, the Georgia QB kinda has the Cinderella thing going too, so either way I'm good.

The analytics tell us the odds on who should when, by how much and why.
True it doesn't always work out because as they say on any given Sunday. But, if as a bettor you stick to just the facts as Sgt Friday would say and eliminate the I've got a hunch. The odds of you winning are much better.

I just enjoy watching these pundits sitting there telling us that there’s no way a team can lose, unanimously, then they go and lose big. But they sure had themselves convinced they know everything.

Rose Bowl is Utah and Penn State, and it's not even on New Year's, it's on the 2nd. Huh?

College football sure isn't what it used to be.

I layed off the bowl games because between the transfer portal and players sitting out there is no way to handicap.

Except for the Michigan game and upcoming Georgia game

Rose parade now stops abruptly in the middle for bad production numbers. Yes, folks, they drank the Kool-Aid. They're no longer selling Pasadena weather, they're selling showbiz hype like the telecasts of the Macys parade where you don't see the parade.

It's the end of an era, folks.

Too bad it didn't rain on the whole wretched lot of them.

A major storm front is predicted right around the time the football game wraps up. The game isn't what it used to be either. College football is slowly becoming the NFL, with a full playoff system subsidized by ad sales. Only a matter of time.

So, I talked to Glenn a while ago, and he GUARANTEES that Georgia will beat TCU a week from today, as a matter of fact, the game will be over by halftime. He won't even admit there's a chance for TCU.

Proof that Glenn just can't learn, and has no sense of shame.

100pct correct.
TCU is about as good as the South Carolina Gamecocks an 8 win team. Which is where TCU would be if they played in the SEC.

Could TCU win sure they could, could they cover the 13.5 point spread sure they could.

But, the fact is Georgia has NFL talent all over the field. TCU has had a magical season where the ball continued to bounce in their direction.

That all ends one week from today. Georgia might score everytime they have the ball. The game will never be in doubt and probably over by halftime.

I believe the final will between 54 to 24 and 61 to 17. Georgia just has to much talent all over the field.

One way not to get free money is to rely on your expertise.

BTW remember what I told you about TUA not having the size the speed or arm strength to be an NFL QB.

Tua Tagovailoa https://g.co/kgs/vqmJ3E

Monster game against Baltimore and 5 game stretch against non playoff teams when he padded his stats.
Other than the Baltimore game far below average against playoff teams
