    Underdogs Just Aren't Covering This Year...

    Honestly... I think so far in college football this has the biggest success rate in favorites covering than I have ever witnessed before. It's screwing up my bankroll.

    You are right TMS. I don't recall the #s but the AP top 10 lost maybe one game ATS before this week?

    Stanford has covered every spread since this time last year. I agree, I think I have to go back to like 2005 or so to find anything comparable to this year.

    This is the first Saturday that I haven't placed one wager yet. It's 7:15 PM Eastern... and I'm that hesitant. I don't see value anywhere. I'm never this tense.

    You must be picking the wrong dogs.

    Underdogs have covered more often than faves this year in CFB.

    Underdogs are 51% so far this year.

    Love the sample size people use.

    From my studies dogs usually come in at around a 62-63% clip per week. I wasn't exaggerating. The novice gambler always shoots for the top 10... it's a no brainer.

    I think a decent play is Oregon State +3 later tonight.
