That Utah vs Indiana game was so bad. Utah's play makes me question Colorado and Washington. I cant believe those two teams almost lost to that Utah team.. On the other hand, Indiana was even worse, both teams scored points, but there was absolutely no flow or rhythm to that game.
I had a 6-1 day, but decided to back A&M... +18 U on the day, but I lost a $250 player prop bet on Carmelo scoring 22, and he was ejected in the 2nd quarter with 11 pts.. so that was a -$600 swing. Ive only bet Melo 4 times on the season, 2 of the games he covered in the 3rd quarter, and the other 2 times he looked like he would cover easily but was ejected in the 2nd quarter. Pretty crazy considering those were the only two games hes been booted from in a year.

Hopefully my Northwestern play helped some people cash... I'm pretty excited about tomorrow Two of the games I have been waiting for are tomorrow. I plan on max betting two games, I will probably do a write up, but i'm not sure. I dont want anyone to lose a large amount bc i was wrong. But at least the trolls would be happy.

I saw the line drop from 6.5 to 3.5 in a day and the last 45 minutes it dropped rapidly. We all know bowl games, and any game for that matter, are gonna see the biggest changes in the line on gameday, typically anyway. But for this line to be posted for 3-4 weeks and hold for so long at 6 and then take a tumble just before kickoff was strange. I knew something was up but i couldnt help myself because Utah is my favorite team this year and I just have a tough time picking against them because of the way that defense can turn it up at times. Regardless, I didnt throw down a huge bet and on the first drive after the recovered fumble, the refs already showed favor for Indiana. The defensive PI called on Utah gave Indy a 1st down and ultimately a TD. The rest of the game Utah couldnt catch a break on penalties. They made a lot of obvious ones but it seemed the refs were keying in on absolutely every minute thing they did. The worst of "call" of the game was actually the no-call on Indy as Utah threw on a 3rd and long i believe. The Indy player basically wrapped him up for a second well before the ball got to him. And of course the commentator that seemed to be rooting for Indy the whole game made sure to say how it was a good no-call. More strange than the refs was the way Utah played. The defense seemed to play lights-out for the most part. But the offense wasnt clicking, the play calling was awful, and fumbles came at key times. It was as if every time Utah got themselves near the goal line, they tried their best not to score. Joe Williams was the best player on the field last night but he didnt get a crack at the endzone one time (ran a long 16 yarder for a score) when they were threatening. He was pulled out every time they got close and instead of using him, Utah trusted their freshman QB and back-ups. Troy Williams looked like he didnt want to avoid some sacks, most certainly on the last drive before halftime in which the coach made a headscratching decision to milk the clock rather than get a FG or even TD. The last 2 fumbles by Utah were killers for the spread. Momentum and cruising the field, then fumble the ball away twice. Indiana showed a lot of emotion last night and Utah showed absolutely zero, which i thought strange. Utah coach didnt show any passion and looked very indifferent when they made the last FG. Overall, I saw a lackluster performance on the part of Utahs offense, the refs were suspect, and Whittingham made several idiotic coaching decisions. I dont know what to make of it...not saying Indy should have been a HUGE dawg in this one, but the line obviously dropped because sharp money was put on Indy. Im not gonna say "fix," but this is the same Utah team that laid down in USC last with a strange betting line prior to that game.

I'm from Utah and one of the reasons for the late line drop was Joe Williams wasn't going to play because of the flu! The info came out late and you could see he wasn't right all night , the whole team wasn't right, great annalisis, you saw it as we all did, very lucky to win.

Didnt know joe williams was on the injury report and that would justify the movement..but he still played lights out and came out of the game every time they were going to surely score if he was in the ball game. Very strange coaching decisions in that one. Refs were suspect as well..and of course Utah didnt score a TD on final drive after the half-hearted attempt at getting in the endzone. The FG did give them the lead but Indy covered for those late bettors as it was just a 2-point advantage...just very strange in my opinion. And ive bet on tons of games over the years and i tend to do very well in the college games. Their performance and interest in the game reminded me of the Lions the other night when that spread barely budged off of the original 7-point line that was posted PRIOR to the Cowboys securing the #1 seed and as well as prior to the Lions knowing that they wouldnt be locked in to the playoffs after Week 16 (Skinz can still take their spot, or Packers). Just hard to fathom the way some of these games appear when all things are considered.
