    Bowl games and overs
    Why not just blindly bet overs in bowl games? Seems like the last few years, overs have hit at an extraordinary rate. Also, why do the books struggle so much to adjust?

    Watching this Cal/Air Force game -- the opening total was 63. WTF? It took all of about 20 seconds watching the game to realize it would fly over that total. Where in the hell did they get 63 (especially given Air Force game went over in 8 of their last 9 regular season games)?

    It's my favorite bets every year. The v tech game was absurd. No one lets off the gas either. It's the best

      I do remember a year or two ago during bowl season, there was a stretch of something like 14 straight unders. For sure was either 2013 or 2014

        This. It was just two or three years ago that unders hit at a remarkable stretch. This year, overs are hot. Follow the trends...

                I'd like to see the books at least make a stand on some these games. Throw an 85 out there in the video game type match ups. Maybe the books wouldn't get demolished on every total. It would at least get more balance I would think

                  Yeah but why can't we just take advantage of these lines and win money? Lol

                    Now I've seen it all...gamblers complaining because it's too easy to spot an obvious trend? Smh.

                          I played the first half under and when that didn't hit I doubled down on 2nd half under. With those defenses one of the halves was bound to go under. Nice hit on the game tote!
