I would bet that there are times when a coach shows his team the line in the paper that shows that his team is a four touchdown underdog to say something like, "Let's show them that they are all wrong. We are better than that. Let's prove to the whole world that they were wrong." Perhaps a guy like Cowher would show his team the line in the paper that shows they are 10 point dogs to get them more pissed off. Who knows, just a theory.:modemman:
Absolutely - many times I have heard post game interviews where the coach will say "No way there are two touchdowns better than us," or "I really can't believe they were the favorite".
Not only are the coaches aware, the alumni that pump millions and millions into the big schools are making sure the coaches and players are well aware of the exact number.
