    Ach, i dont really bet on outsiders expecting them to win as such, but if they can get a decent start, the odds on the favourite go out, and then i bet on them to cover the bet!Time yet!:icon_mrgreen:Not looking good though!

    It's just never really appealed to me.

    Does College football not involve a lot more wide open, spread offenses and gadget plays, teams running the option, wildcat etc?

    Yes along with pro sets. The people who hate American football do admit the atmosphere in the collage games is very similar to Soccer.(singing, bands ect.) Where as in the pros alot more laid back.To each their own.Collage has more spread offenses because the hash marks are closer together making a wider more open side.

    Actually, the hash marks are further apart in College Ball. Making field goals from the sides of the field way more difficult, and actually making a strong/weak side of the field.

    And yes, the atmosphere in big time college football blows the NFL out of the water. I love it.

    Incredible few minutes for Giants if they get this. They were looking at being 7-3 down and now 17-7 up.

    Edit - Or not :54:

    Did anybody see the Bengals' TD? The guy did a front flip over the guy trying to tackle him, into the endzone and landed on his feet. Incredible

    Yeah that was awesome.

    Did you see the trick play, in the Kansas - Oakland game?

    They fake punted and got a TD but it got flagged and brought back :56:

    lol no, not really a fan of either, I don't mind the Colts I guess and you're right about honesty, but at this point of the season for them losing has more benefits than winning. :56:
