interesting stat on 2016 bowls so far

[phil_abuster]

6 out of 9 bowl games so far have gone OVER the 2h total

e.mich/old D, 10 pts first half.....2h total is 28.5
which is lower than 1/2 the pregame expectation of 63.5
will this game have at least 4 TDs and one more score (5)
despite only 2 scores in the first half ??

so, those of us who bet the OVER 28.5 for the 2h
combined w/the previously scored 10 pts,
effectively hold a game total over 38.5
31 pts have already been scored mid-way thru the 3Q

look for something similar in the upcoming super-exciting bowl games today and tomorrow. meaning if u like an over, u could wait until game action, slow first half,
and bet OVER on a much lower total during the first half - knowing that there is likely to be much more scoring in the 2h

or maybe the whole thing will fail
ball bounces funny sometimes

yep.
thats now 7 of 10 bowls so far which went OVER the 2h total

[phil_abuster]

and w/the 38 pts in the 2h of the LT/Navy game
that makes 8 of 11 bowls so far to go OVER the 2h total

btw,
only 3 favs - of at least -3pts - have covered
and 7 have failed

the games in their entirety were going UNDER very nicely for first 7 or 8 games - might have been 7-1 UNDER. i think it's slightly more OVER since.

and w/Troy's failure to cover -6
so far only 3 favs - of at least -3pts - have covered
and now 8 have failed

another "3/4 empty stadium" game later today
although its tough to understand why given the
awesome power of these two squads AND
its a home game for hawaii and they only lost 7 games this yr!
plus there isnt really a whole lot for folks to do on Christmas eve

[phil_abuster]

so w/MTSU and Miss.st both failing to cover (but NC st. covered)
that 2-1 for covers when favs r at least -3pts
only 4 favs (of -3 and up) have covered
and now 10 have failed

after the 4 bowl games on tuesday,
w/all 4 favs Army, Temple, Wash.st and Boise failing to cover
so far this yr favs of at least -3 pts r just 4 - 14 ats

today there r 2 favs of at lest -3 pts.....panthers and utes,
although A&M and Miami could get pushed into that field too
by stubborn fav bettors over the next few hrs, so if u r
considering west va or ksu u may wanna wait until closer to gametime

[phil_abuster]

so with Pitt unable to overcome several bad breaks against them
so far this yr favs of at least -3 pts r just 4 - 15 ats
