On Paper...

Post by Rollo83 »

...doesn't the BG/Temple game seem like a game you could make some money on? Temple is a three-touchdown underdog at home.

Now our Falcons haven't exactly blown the bulbs out on the scoreboard this year. Is Temple so bad that we can hang 40 on them? I hope, but I don't think so. Temple played Kent State tough and put up 21 points at NIU.

Is our offense capable of beating anybody by three touchdowns? I think this game will be closer than most of us would like. I see the Falcons winning it, but no more than 10 points.

On paper, all you have to do is bet against BG in the last year and a half to make a boatload. The only games we've "won" ATS this year were Ohio and OSU, and the OSU game was obvious, and the only time I've bet on us this year. I'd load up on Temple.

You wanna really make some money, wait until we're a touchdown favorite @ Toledo.

The future Mrs. TG went to Vegas for the weekend. She had talked about putting the wedding fund down on a few hands of blackjack. I should have had her bet Temple plus the points... We'll win, and we may even jump out to a huge lead, but the way we tend to hit the snooze button at times in the second half, and Temple has started to show it'll stand in and fight in the late stages of the game says a lot.

Of course NIU was up 40-0 before the Owls scored.
