Recap:
Winner. I missed football. Football is the best. I loved this bet. It was awesome. Everything was awesome today. Unders were everywhere which made this bet even more important. If this got fucked late I would have been devastated. I had first quarter PTSD. 0 points in the first quarter and I was really fucking scared. A great second quarter. Buffalo was shit and Minnesota was also shit. Buffalo couldn’t get a first down and Minnesota wasn’t scoring. Second quarter Minnesota looked like they were going for a quick second TD and I was getting a little worried. Then magic happened which was actually almost disaster. An interception off a foot deflection to then Darius Taylor giving 110% and stopping a pick six. Unbelievable. Buffalo was in scoring position but I had faith Minnesota could stop them and I thought Minnesota was about to drive for a TD so we saved 4 points there. It was a pretty boring and perfect quarter after that and we were sitting at 13 at half. Second half was a problem. Too many missed tackles and too many big plays and we were in trouble. I was ready for the fuckening in the fourth quarter. Minnesota finally looked unstoppable in the fourth quarter. But thank fuck they slowed it down. They slowed it down and were happy to win it with class. This was the perfect way to start the season. We had it all. We had everything that makes college football great. Dumb shit and dumb shit is fine if it hits. I missed really yelling at my TV. I want more of this. I want football.
Lock: Western Illinois/Illinois U63.5 1u to win 0.9u
Groundbreaking Analysis:
More football. I love it. I would say that we are still in the salad portion of the night. We are at the part of the salad where we get seconds of salad to fill time before the main course. This slate isn’t the best and I would say worse than yesterday but… it’s competitive football. Illinois is going to win. It’s not going over though. I found the best angle for this bet. I wanted to take Illinois U55.5 but this one makes much more sense. There is a higher likelihood of Illinois winner 60-0 than Illinois winner 50-14. This dogshit team isn’t scoring. Illinois also hasn’t scored more than 55 since 2011. What else do I need to say? 14 years. I know Western Illinois is bad but they have to have some sort of fight on defense. I just need them to fight a drive or two. They are going to fight. I have to take this. This is the bet. I love this bet. We are winning another one.
Unbiased Stats:
Illinois hasn’t scored more that 55 in 14 years
