    Why Are The Top Teams in CFB Covering Like Crazy This Year???

    the top 10 teams in the BCS polls have covered spreads at just an astonishing rate so far this year (I want to say around 70-75%)



    what is the reason for this?? and do you think it will continue??

    I think it's because there is a huge disparity in talent between the top 10 teams and the others... the top teams in the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 etc are clear cut and wayyyyy better than the mid-tier teams.

    Books are suckering you into complacency, tricking you into going big and then going to drop the hammer on your candy ass by taking your whole roll in one week.

    the real reason is because the 3 top teams are all fighting for that number 1 spot ... each team is running up the score ... and just keeping their first string defense in all game to force blow outs ... plus all the top 3 teams play shitty ass teams to begin with as of right now until their schedule gets more difficult ...look in the past teams have been blown out by 50 points and the backup qb also had like 2 td passes ... they enjoy running up the score on weak ass teams

    I remember Stanford being 20 point favorites at Duke


    or Okie St 13 point favorites at Tulsa



    I don't think I have ever seen so many lines that were off by 10-14 points as I have seen in CFB this year
