Tale of Two 31 Point Underdogs

Post by Johnmn555 »

One doubled up the spread, losing by 62. The other, Bowling Green, pulled off the biggest upset in FBS since 2012, beating Minnesota. Minnesota, BTW, had scheduling OOC cupcakes down to a science, winning 26 straight, the most in FCS. We can learn something from their scheduling.

I knew UGA would cover the spread.

I just didn't think they'd do it in the first quarter...

UConn is a 31.5 point underdog at home and is leading Wyoming 16-10 in the 4th qtr.

If Wyoming pulls this out 17-16, they will officially be the worst 4-0 team in history and will still probably go to some penny-ante bowl on ESPN-Ocho where they will lose to Memphis or Marshall by 50.

It's great to be a Vandy fan. I smashed the -31 spread taking UGA. They covered in the first quarter? Why? Because our coach is so inept Vegas couldn't even make the spread big enough. By the time kickoff happened it was -36. I bet they lose a LOT of money in Vegas.

Did you ever see a movie on Netflix called "A Futile and Stupid Gesture" - ??

It's a classic for fans of sarcastic humor and the history behind it.
