I've Lost My First 4 bets of the CFB Season, but I'm Not Scared
Bet: USF +11 vs. Wisc.
Final Score: 49-0 Wisconsin
This bet was straight wishful thinking. I thought about how great it would be for USF to come out and beat the Badgers to ruin their college playoff hopes. That is far from what happened as Wisconsin and Johnathan Taylor ran USF into the ground. Taylor has only started two years at Wisco, but it feels like he has been haunting me for centuries. This was more an anti-wisconsin bet than a pro USF, bet. Gotta stop using my heart. Itโs going to be a tough fight for the Heisman with Lawrence, Tua, and Hurts this year, but Taylor will stay in the conversation if he keeps this up
Bet: FSU -7 vs. Boise State
Final: 36-31 Boise
So I am playing some pick up basketball, checking the game cast, feeling pretty confident that the Seminoles will pull of the win for me. Even at 31-19 at half Iโm sure they be able to get a couple scores to stay up -7. What the fuck happened in the second half? They got shitted on by a freshman QB, Hank Bachmeir? Blackman and AKers had solid numbers, but looming hurricane Dorian must have taken their focus away going into the second half. This is the only excuse I will give the Seminoles. I should have just taken the first half spread as these kids would only be able to focused so long before remembering eminent destruction. Also would have helped to know that Bachmeir was raised by savages.
Bet: ORE +4 vs. AUB
Final: 27-21 AUB
This was as much of a heart breaker as youโll ever see. Auburn freshman QB, BO โbig ballsโ NIX with the game winning throw with 9 seconds left in the game wasnโt, but was destined to happen. He will likely become a scrub like all other Auburn quaterbacks (Excluding Scam), but not on Saturday night. He had to be the hero. Iโm also pretty fucking mad at Justin Herbert for not putting up a Heisman performance. Thought he was the truth, but he is a mere fib.
Bet: OU -23.5 vs. HOU
Final: 49-31 OU
This one heart a lot because I was 51 percent leaning towards taking OU. I wanted to believe in Dana and Dโeriq. I believed in Hurts and Reillyโs abilities to put up enough points to beat the spread. The defense is what killed us down the stretch. Hurts may have had a historic debut for the Sooners, but it will be hard to regain trust until their defense proves it can hold a pop warner team under 20 points. Also, I still had hope that Spencer Rattler would come in and chuck an 80 yard touchdown to beat the spread in the last seconds.
Weโre bouncing back with ND -18
