I don’t know their roster well but it looked like they were physically present. Mentally, who knows? But that applies to much more than this game. I wouldn’t be surprised at some point in the future for a game like this to look like an NFL week 18 matchup whereby one team plays all backups. But...

While unlikely, Army defeating Notre Dame could really make things interesting. Going one step further, if both Army and Boise win out, there could be two G5s in the CFP and a P4 left out completely. If Kansas and Arizona State hold on, the Big 12 should be nervous.

When these futures lines get posted, they get taken down when teams are playing an earlier game. Likely since they don’t want to expose themselves in case of something material like a major injury. I think it’ll drop a couple of points. Overreacting versus appropriatly reacting is a fine line...

I’m catching up on other games. Did anyone see the ending to Illinois / Rutgers? Rutgers led 31-30 with the Illini lining up for a long FG (57 yards). Rutgers coach calls a timeout to ice the kicker. After the timeout, Illinois rethinks the decision and goes for it on 4th and long and scores...

I’m as cynical as most of y'all but after Ole Miss losing to UF, I’m lowering my SEC team in CFP projection from 4.5 teams to 4 teams. And I hope to lower it to 3 teams in six days.

Lane Kiffin would hit on a 20 playing blackjack today.

North Carolina’s defense is best in the country and their defensive coordinator should take over for Mack as their new head coach. If you don’t believe me, you just don’t want to see it.

The announcers explained that it’s because they’re tired since they’re in such an elite conference. Playing a 2-8 team as a 42.5 point favorite within a score for most of a half, still somehow becomes a compliment to the SEC.

Evenly matched game so far in the cesspool

I don’t have enough tin foil to follow you. But what you’re describing would be a modern day version of the 1927 game. Per Wiki: Georgia Tech faced the undefeated and top-ranked in-state rival Georgia Bulldogs for the conference crown. The Bulldogs were known as the "Dream and Wonder team" and...

I think analogies can be drawn to both 2008 and 2016 teams. 2008 in terms of qualities of season wins and 2016 in terms of direct record (7-4) coming into COFH. Between 2019 and 2021 games, we looked like we didn’t belong on the field in this game. Key did well at playing competitively the...

Homefield has their sale starting today. Just got this email.

Final card - Cardiac Cavs +10.5 against SMU, Ole Miss -11.5 against UF and Auburn +2.5 against aTm. Virginia logic is their season record against the spread is too impressive to look away. SMU hasn’t blown away many teams either. And Charlottesville is a tough place to play. I hate road chalk...

I had the line at 20 so this is in line with my thoughts… We were +35 the last time in Athens (2022). On paper, it was an easy cover but the dwags were up 30 and driving late in the game before we picked them off and scored again to seal the cover. Last year we were +23. That cover was never...

I give props to the LE. The last few times I’ve been in that area, including last night in 106, it’s been a rowdy bunch. I’ve never been involved in a physical altercation involving watching a football game but the few times where it escalated close to this, were always with fellow GT ‘fans’ at...

GT opens +20.5 in the cesspool. This is about where I thought it would be. Under Key, we’ve won thrice when an underdog at this number: at Pitt (2022), at UNC (2022), and at Miami (2023).

They’re the Falcants today.

Yup. BYU was also a small underdog in Orlando to a UCF team with a losing record. The line begged for BYU action, but in this case, BYU rolled UCF. It’s been an interesting season.

After 20+ years, I’ve learned to abstain from what I call ‘shady’ lines. TAMU is favored by 2.5 points at Auburn. That’s a shady line IMO. It screams bet me on TAMU. I would not be in the least bit surprised to see Auburn pull this out. (In contrast, Texas is favored by 20 over Kentucky which...

Initial impressions from scanning lines for next weekend: Vanderbilt +9.5. Seems like an even matchup of middling SEC teams. Tigers are imploding. Kansas +3.5. Despite a horrific start to the season, they have a chance at bowling. Colorado is overrated. Virginia +9.5. I’m not sure if I handle...
