Yeah I did..it's good to get other people's views and opinions to see if they aline with mine, especially humble fans of these teams. Apparently there are none here though.

Sounds like you’re answering your own question

Often find if a line sounds too good to be true, it probably is

Thanks for pretending you know more info about a major D1 college football game being played than the oddsmakers. Needed a good laugh to kick off the football weekend

eta: or a conference championship future or any wager offered on anything with a limit above $1000

SMU looks better with this QB.

penalty might kill this drive though.

nvm it's on defense.

Brother. You claimed the oddsmakers made a line based solely on the team's record last season. That's such an asinine statement you should be ashamed for hitting submit.

Maybe not solely but when it comes to average and bad teams they pretty much use the teams last seasons record as the main predictive indicator 90% of the time and very little to do with anything else other than strength of schedule and b8g time transfers.

It's early in this game early in the season so I'll try not to make too much of an absolute but I just don't get the SMU love for the long term that a lot of people on this board have
yes they have deep pockets with the oil money and supporters and they should be a successful team based upon their location
but they've done nothing to show that they can have any sort of sustained success same with U of H

long term TCU and or Baylor have more upside than either SMU or Houston in my estimation

Not sure what your point is? They kept those games close but didn't win them.

Good call mate. I get weary when someone is so sure of a bet but you pegged it right.
