Congratulations, but I would never play a 2nd half line where the dog has to win by more than a TD.
cincy_ said:Did you watch the first half of the Arizona-Arizona State game? Arizona was leading 17-5 at halftime and ASU was completely dominated too. ASU covered in the 2nd half by 15 points.
Did you watch the 1st half of the Lakers-Sonics game last night? Sonics leading by 8 at halftime and the Lakers looked clueless. The Lakers won the 2nd half by around 20 points.
Did you watch the 1st half of the Indy-Cincy game last weekend? They scored around 60 points in the 1st half and didn't even come close to the 28 point total of the 2nd half.
So if you think playing Colorado is a square play based on what you saw on TV, keep playing teams like Nebraska and trust a 17.5 point dog to lay 7.5 points.
The bottom line is:
Never lay/give a worse line (for fulltime) in your HT play than what was in the original spread - and certainly not a line that is 25 points off the original.

royalfan said:Like I said, I knew you didn't catch much of the first half. By the way if you call popping a 45 yard run by catching a seam a "drive" when they couldn't run the ball for a even a couple yards the rest of the half the we don't need to converse about it any longer. I just hope for your sake you made it a no play instead of a CU play as you said it has to be one or the other, as you didn't have proper opportunity to watch the first half.
royalfan said:Don't mean to cause a pissing match as once again I do respect your thoughts. You gotta keep doing what works for you over time. I don' think you are a square and I know I am not one. Good luck to you sir.
royalfan said:Did you watch the first half? Complete domination by the Huskers AND they were getting screwed by the refs, especially right before halftime which is obviously going to help keep the edge at halftime. Taking Colorado at halftime would have been a completely idiotic square play if one had watched the first half and knows anything at all about football.
