In looking over the numbers, there has been only ONE game they lost this year, when leading at the half. This was against Boise St. on January 1st. They were up by 7 at the half, and lost the game by one point.
In the 8 other games they lost the 1H, they never won the full game.
In the 18 games they've won, only 3 of those were they losing in the first half.
What tells me is the following:
- They're a great 1H team (and, damn, why didn't I bet them in the 1H??)
- They hold on to leads VERY well. They've only lost one game in which they were leading in the first half.
- If they are winning at the end of the 1H, it may be a good idea to bet them to still win the game. At present, the score is 32-29, and if the lead holds, I suspect the 2H spread will stay close to the FG spread.
Let's wait and see ...
