First half total on Troy/South Alabama is 23 1/2. The score is Troy 14-7. South Alabama has the ball at midfield with 1:00 left and three time outs. They decide to run the clock out to end the half. WTF???

What about the end of the Colorado/TCU game? Line was +13.5/14 depending on when you bet. TCU up 7 and with 26 secs left on 4th & 6 at Colorado 21 yd line they decide to throw it to the end zone and get a TD and XP screwing the Colorado +13.5 backers. Why go for it and try for a TD, who not kick a FG?Comment -
Honestly, it's just a matter of perspective.
If you were on the winning sides, then they were the best calls made by the coaches.Comment -
I respect u as a poster but LOL that is the most rigged thing u ever seen? Was that just this week or forever?Originally posted by BluehorseshoeComment -
This is def how I would fix a game. This is why I sux at gambling or maybe we both sux? If u think any game is fixed coming down to that u probably should stop gambling. Hell I'll sell u my picks, Way more money is in this game now than ever b4.. Next time u make a dumb post remember that. The spread counts now if u need a QB next year in Texas,, Maybe u could just take a Manning. The ppl flipping the bill gamble.. Wake up and realize the change has happened. Cuz it aint a few grand anymore it's MillionsOriginally posted by daneault23Comment -
Thats why I think Franklin from PSU will be fired Monday.. Penn State is spending Elon Musk money for all there programs. Time to get rid of the dead weight they won't even sneeze at a buy out on Franklin.Comment -
Fair point—money in the game is way bigger now than it used to be, so the old “couple grand” fix idea doesn’t really add up anymore. I don’t think every bad call or weird play is a fix, but I get why people question it. At the end of the day, if you think it’s rigged, probably best not to bet.Originally posted by 2SweeetComment -
Hey brother I feel for you. No way you should of lost that game. It's mind boggling to be honest but these coaches that aren't named Kiffin if they have a chance to Cover they go for it now.Originally posted by ProSportsEdge
Hell look at the Miami game. FSU should of kicked the Fg when there was 4 mins left if you were ever going to take a FG.. They did make 8 pts by going for it but it was the wrong call.. Yet they opt to kick a Fg with 20 seconds to be down 6? B4 I get a bunch of backlash on this trust me I'm right. It's simple Math when they had 3 timeouts left and the 2 min warning with over 4 mins to go and u needed 3 scores no matter what to win.Comment -
Yeah man, some of these late-game decisions make zero sense. That Miami sequence was wild—passing on points with time left, then settling for a FG when it basically changes nothing. Feels like coaches either overthink it or chase the cover instead of just playing straight.Originally posted by 2Sweeet

All we can do is forget about it and hopefully get a couple breaks to go our way today and win. Good Luck All.Comment -
Look at the end of the game sequence for U of Tennessee a week or 2 ago...this stuff happens almost weekly now where the coaches seem to know what the spread is and try to cover. It is best to stay on top of the coaches/programs that are trying to cover the spread.Comment -
A fix is usually done to leave no traces of a fix. For example in the game you mentioned, with a total of 23.5, if there was a fix they would miss a couple tackles in the 1Q and have a quick 14-14 score to cover the over in the first half and then play the game like nothing happened. They would not try to fix the game on the last drive of the 1H by trying to kick a FG from 35 yards out. Like imagine there is a million dollars on this game on this fix and you are depended on a long FG to cash it.Comment -
I realize that this will be an unpopular opinion but all the years I was in a sports betting market as a participant in the game, people would tell me about the fixes they saw and I never saw one I agreed with. It just wasn’t real, although sometimes it might have seemed like it. Not saying it doesn’t happen, just saying that the perception seems to appear often with all the bets offered.
With spreads for games, quarters, halves , FG kicks, etc. that leaves a ton of situations where it could appear to be possible.
With those players having gambling jammed up their noses as we all do today, I think that what appears to be something, most likely is not.
Just my opinion.Comment -
The best one was Penn state vs ucla yesterday

Was that game fixed ?Originally posted by johnnyvegas13Comment -
Ever. It defies logic. They're down 7 and don't try to move the ball 20 yards with that much time left? Most of the teams in College try to move the ball from their own 15 with 35 seconds left in the half. lolOriginally posted by 2SweeetComment
