This game puts the team in a less than desirable situation. If we beat the spread, people will say CU is not a good team. If we win by a margin less than the spread, people will say we aren't as good as our ranking. I guess as long as we win, who cares?

I was also unimpressed with our Oline play, at least in terms of run blocking, but to say they dominated is absurd. You don't dominate the other teams Oline and give up 300 passing yards and 4 TDs. Our Oline graded out well with PFF and I'm guessing they'll grade out fine in the UFR. There is room for improvement there but we most certainly did not get dominated.

that Michigan State beat, by 15 points mind you, a Furman team that UTTERLY DESTROYED the 0-12 2015 UCF team by one entire point last year. So yeah, Furman is just WAY better than UCF you see. And just because Furman was within 1 score, with the ball, in MSU territory in the 4th quarter DOES NOT mean the game was ever in doubt. After all, MSU CRUSHED THEM!

But we're going to beat them by a helluva lot more than that. I rewatched the first half of yesterday's game. We kicked their asses pretty hard for the first 1.5 quarters. Once the game was in hand we got a little lazy/sloppy/whatever. No big deal. We're ranked #4, and in my opinion deservedly so. I'm not sweating Colorado

Does anyone have a suggestions on choosing a online betting website. And have any advice for a beginner? I want to put in some bets on college football but not entirely sure what site I should use.

but don't agree that nobody wins long term. Sports betting provides a very low return for the house and some books will have years where they lose money. Look up a guy named Billy Walters. He's made tens of millions betting on sports and 60 Minutes did a segment on him five years ago.90%+ of players will get destroyed playing point spreads but I know a few guys, including myself that have done well over the years. A few tips I would give are: A team is never as good or as bad as you think they are. If the bet looks too easy, play the other side. Play more dogs than favorites but play the favorite when the spread looks unrealistically large or when the general public is betting the dog. The easiest way to win in sports betting is to host your own pool where friends and family pick games against the spread. Find the games that you friends and family have the most confidence in and bet the opposite. I have done this during the bowl season for twenty years and never have failed to profit.
