My book is offering the prop of whether there will be a score in final 2 minutes of half. Unlike the NFL which often has the YES favoured at -180 or even higher, the college games have every YES as the underdog getting as high as +150.
For example, GT/ND, the Yes is +145, Cal/Tenn has +150, Oregon/Stanford at +125.
I know the college kickers are not as accurate as NFL so you can't just assume an easy 3 on the board once you break the opponent's 30 yard line but the clock does stop more in the college game which gives more plays in final 2 minutes plus each team does get 3 timeouts. Why such a big difference between this prop in the NFL and college?
Can anyone find out how many college games have traditionally had a score in final 2 minutes of the half?
1) field goal kickers are usually mediocre at best in college. 2) pro qbs thrive on a 2 minute drill..college qbs do not.....and three, usually there is one supremely overmatched team inthe game which really lessens your chances by 50% or if the 2 teams are evenly matched, its ususally due to good defenses..i think most coaches in college are a bit more conservative in the 2 minute drill anyway...
