    Are Betting Unders In College Football Death Traps??

    Seems hard to stay under the total as opposed to pro ball

    Yep, the clock stopping on first downs is a massive deal. I almost never bet college unders now as opposed to a few years ago.

    As opposed to pro ball where unders were like 2-13 this week?

    Unders are dead in football.

    Exactly. If I like an under, I simply lay off the game. It seems like 80% of the games I have a wager on go over. The books have to be getting killed with this and it doesnt seem like Vegas is making adjustments in their numbers.

    Good point. We've had a lot of lopsided matchups so far.

    I am the worst on TOTALS period. It has to be plainly obvious for me to play a TOTAL and even then I have to play it for less money and expect to lose.

    there's only certain teams that are good for unders


    Alabama for example in college is 8-3 on UNDERS last 2 seasons


    here's a good website that shows all the total rankings in football - http://www.predictem.com/cfb/2010-ats-records.php

    Good point about certain teams


    Not many teams have a defense like Bama though

    I picked every single game under blindly in college football.

    not just defense


    you want teams with good defense, good running game and a very conservative offensive style. Bama is perfect because they try to go up like 27-10 and just kill the clock rest of the way and let their defense dominate
