Dark-shirted or 'home team' always covers in Bowl games.

We already started to see it last night.  Wyoming comes in as an +11.5 dog and wins outright in their 'home browns' and Rutgers -3 goes into the dome in their home reds and beats up on USF.

I remember commenting on this to my brother the last 2 years.  The dark-shirted or 'home' team (I know, the home team might be wearing their whites) seems to cover more times than not.  This is a statisitical anomoly I have observed the last two years.  If you bet the team wearing their home darks, you would win at a clip of 60-70% in my estimation.

I am an NFL wagerer and only casually bet on NCAA but I swear this happens every bowl year.  I don't know if it's a psychological edge or just coincidental but observe it for yourself and ask yourself if you've noticed it's true as well?

Now, the question becomes, how do you find out before the bowl game which team is wearing their dark uni's?  I would have thought Fresno St. as the favorite, better record, geographical proximity etc...would have been the 'home' team and wearing their red-on-red.  But not so, white uni's and they let Wyoming hang around and win.

Does anyone know of a site or reference which tells which team is wearing their home uniforms vs. road uniforms?  Let's put it out there for everyone to use.

I'd like to track the records of the dark-uni'd throughout the bowl games too.  Let's do it on this thread.  They are already 2-0 vs. spread to start!

This might seem a bit strange but I would be willing to bet all the bowl games in totality based on the dark/home uni's and see where it comes up vs. spread.

Anyone know where to find the pre-game uniform info?

Thanks.

"home team" is normally the bottom team on the line

Well in high school i loved rocking the dark jerseys versus the light ones so maybe it does mean something

Do we know if that means they are necessarily wearing their home/dark uni's?  I.E.  USC would seem to be the home team vs. BC, but does that mean USC is wearing their home Reds?

I was thinking about this as I watched the SEC championship game.  Florida, I liked them to cover and bet on them as the 'home' team - but as soon as they came out in those faggoty whites I knew they were done.

I'm telling you all, it's significant!

ve----ri interesting!

helps back up my so.miss play (assuming they're wearing colors cuz they're the below team)

it has followed suit in the 1st two games, guess we'll see. I have to assume sc will be wearing red. there has to be more info on who will wear which. lets see what we can find.

"Team Information
Boise State will be the visiting team and will use the west bench. The Broncos will wear white jerseys. TCU will be the home team and will use the east bench.  TCU will wear dark jerseys."

fyi, last year both teams wore colors.
southern miss wore gold and troy, red

so.miss won in 30-27

to madden this further, if you look at last years games
(assuming the bottom' team was home and top team the visitor)
every 'visiting team won su

Unless things have changed, the "HOME" team has their choice of jerseys...

 

Well according to ths game line, Southern Miss. is the home team but is wearing their whites?  Again, this makes no sense to me!  They would either wear their black or gold.  There's got to be a way to determine which team gets to wear the home uni's or s aite that tells you what team is wearing their home darks....

Well, MT is in their home Blues, so we'll see if this one plays out tonight vs. the spread...

yeah, who the hell wants to where the white jerseys

teams wearing dark jerseys are now 3-0
wym, rut, mtsu

All right fellas, now how do we find out well ahead of time who is wearing the dark jerseys?  There doesn't seem to be a rhymne or reason.

Yes, 3-0 now vs. spread and counting.  Let's get on it!

it rotates every year...for instance the new orleans bowl was between teams from the sunbelt and CUSA. one year the sunbelt team is "home" and the other year, the CUSA team is "home" ...if you would have watched the game last night when they were showing the USM guy breaking his leg in last years game they wore all yellows, or their traditional home shirts. it doesnt matter who is listed last on the vegas sheet.

this is how they all go, so in the game between BYU and OR ST. or MWC v PAC 10, whichever conference represented the home team last year will be away this year....

so is there a site that tell which team will be wearing the dark jerseys
I'm always looking for a no nonsense angle.  You know the one that doesn't have to have a reason just makes money

I'll be following this system closely...

Not all jdn...
for example:
lasts years Poinsettia Bowl, TCU wore dark jerseys vs Boise
this year, they will again wear the dark jerseys and be the home team in a different bowl.

that being said if they do rotate then this year the Mtn West isnt the home team, meaning Cal will be?

for the Las Vegas bowl tomorrow night::>..
last year AZ wore red and won 31-21.
If they do in fact rotate then BYU will be home wearing dark this year.
