    I followed you yesterday with success. What is the reasoning for today's play?

    Dont like either side. Can't find an edge. I keep capping the game as either team winning by 1. It's a huge coin flip game. Focused my attention on the total and have a good feel on the under.

    These are the 44th and 24th best defenses in the country. I know Stanford has been lighting it up, but they will face a Big 10 team that plays sick defense. Big 10 defense is much better than Pac 12 competition. Being a championship game, I feel both teams come out tight. That's obviously just my opinion. The whole world's on the over. Books are raising the total to balance out the money. Just like yesterday when I said books were adding points to Mercer (the better team) to balance out the money, the are adding points to the opening under total (the better play here) to balance out the money. Again, that's just my opinion. BOL.

    Yea, this game pretty much sucks. No big edge anywhere to be found.

    that youd been honed in on this play since it opened and couldnt wait to pounce on it, i was the same way...thought the line should have been like stanford -3.5

    I know Sash. Then I capped the game and liked Minnesota by a point. Scrapped betting the side altogether and went with the under. Who cares? We're both winners right!?

    2-0 on the day +2u (including baseball)

    Thanks guys. And SASH, I was just thinking about that. My gut feeling was Stanford but then after analyzing the stats, I had basically a pick em' on my hands. Looked into the under and liked it a lot. That's why I hate when people ask me for reasons why I like a play. Sometimes it's just as simple as my gut tells me this is right. We've been doing this for so long that we pick up on movements and things the books are doing. Sometimes stats just get in the way. Thankfully, we both came out ahead tonight. Let's get em tomorrow boys!
