Main reason I'm not very interested in college football. When a team starts losing, they completely fall apart. There have been top teams that get beaten in the same way by unranked teams. It's very rare for the same thing to happen in the pros.

If I weren't such a big guy I would post I told you so. But I am much bigger than that and would never say I was right and you were wrong as many people would do.

What bullshit. You just did, you just have to pretend because you don't have the balls.

Truth is, no one knows until the game is played. I didn't say TCU would win. But then, you said Michigan would destroy them too. What happened there?

You really think you know everything about football, and can tell the future. But you can't.

Other than 4 plays it would have been a Michigan blow out.
And
For the record this is my second consecutive year turning a profit betting college football.
You take the analytical evaluation and make an educated guess based on the facts.
On this case TCU just had a very lucky season where all the bounces went their way.
Fact is TCU vs UGA was the equivalent of the JVs vs the Varsity. Georgia had more 4 star players on the bench than TCU has on the team.
Of they played 100 times TCU might win 3 and cover 13.5 7 times

You see you think you know everything. It's hilarious when you don't which is often.

But you're damned good at coming up with excuses. I don't know how many times you've screamed "we were robbed".

Who told you Tua was not an NFL quality QB
Who told you the Packers were in trouble
Who told you that the TCU game would be over by halftime

As for we wuz robbed once again you take something said as a joke and claim it to be literal. I know you aren't that stupid

Tua's health problems means we'll never know.

But hey, you talk about the times you were right and you conveniently forget all the times you were wrong.

When it comes to sports - well, everything - you're a know-it-all that isn't nearly as clever as you think you are.

No Tuas lack if size and speed as well as his history of getting injured in college and high school was one of the factors in knowing he wasn't going to be very good in the NFL.

Yeah, and Brock Purdy wasn't ever going to amount to anything either.

Let's just remember, you picked the winner in the Championship Game, but you blew it on both teams in the semi-finals.

Tell you what, Mr. Know-It-All. Before the playoffs start tomorrow, tell us what two teams will be in the Super Bowl, and what team will win the Super Bowl.

You're such a fucking genius, it shouldn't be hard at all to give us the correct pics.

Professional football is much harder to handicap because all players are Professional full grown men.
You could take the worse team in the NFL which is Houston and if they were to play UGA Houston would win by as many points as they desired.
As for this weekend IMO the two best bets are Buffalo and Dallas.
However I rarely bet NFL ga6and won't be betting any playoff games

Again the NFL is to hard to handicap.
But if you want a winner tease buffalo and Dallas.
A two team 6 point teaser would be Buffalo -6.5 and Dallas +4.5

All the pundits on the show picked Michigan to beat TCU. So did you. You're aren't nearly as clever as you pretend.

I was laughing because on Sunday Night Football, they have about 8 or 10 pundits, ex-players and ex-coaches, and they all pick the winner. I was laughing because most of the last several Sunday night games, they all picked one team to win, and that team lost. In the Packer game, only one picked Detroit to win.

That's why football is exciting. They have to play the game. You're the one who said that the Bengals last year was a fluke, and they'd be also-rans from now on. Yet they are one of the top teams this year.

But we have people like you that convince themselves that they know who will win all the games.

Yes Michigan was the overwhelming pick to win and cover. They didn't and I lost $500. Which I got back when I bet $1000 on Georgia.
If you were to look at the Michigan game objectively you would know that TCU played as well as possible for them.
Even so the difference between a Michigan blowout and a TCU win was 4 plays.
Showing that TCU didn't have a chance against a team as talented as Georgia. Again handicapping games isn't luck, isn't guesswork, isn't I got a feeling.

It is objectively analyzing the data and stats of the teams involved. While leaving emotions out of the equation. Which is why I rarely bet on Ohio State games and was happy to lose 500 in the Michigan game.

Yes it IS guesswork, or you would tell us who is going to the Super Bowl, and who is going to win. So run away.

And while you're at it tell me why Brock Purdy wasn't picked in the first round. Or Tom Brady, for that matter.

Both Buffalo and Dallas are out.

And here’s what’s funny - You told me last year that the Bengals were a one-time flash-in-the-pan and wouldn’t last.

Looking pretty good right now.

I should have posted before the games yesterday.
I had Philly and KC winning but thought Buffalo would beat Cincinnati because it was at Buffalo and Cincinnati was missing half of their offensive line.

I also thought that San Francisco would have a much easier time over Dallas.

As for this week I believe Philadelphia is far and away the safest bet.

As for the Cincinnati KC game I have no idea. It could be close or it could be a blowout either way. Simply no way to handicap that game.

Cincinnati is still missing their line and Mahomes will be playing with a high ankle sprain.

You had your chance to make your predictions, and you ran away.

They have to play the games. a bounce of the ball can make the difference between a championship and an also ran. Anyone who pretends they know anything is full of shit.

No I was busy and simply forgot.
I listened to the Cincinnati game on the radio then last night was able to see highlights.
The snow covered field helped Cincinnati win the game because it prevented the Buffalo Dline from teeing off.
Which now leads me to believe that Cincinnati is going to have their hands full against KC. Right now Cincinnati is a 1.5 point favorite.
The best bet would be play a 6 point 2 team teaser taking KC plus 7.5 and Philadelphia plus 4.

No, I'm talking about making the predictions before the playoffs started about who would be in the Super Bowl, and who would ultimately win. You ran away from that.

If you mean that you have no clue who will win, you are correct.
