The nature of college football is always controversial, as unlike any other sport the National Championship is based largely on opinion rather than on the field of play. College Football aimed to improve that, installing a new four-team playoff last season.
This year, we agree with the CFP committee in choosing Clemson, Alabama, Michigan State, and Oklahoma, as those were the four most deserving teams. However, being deserving is not the same as being the best. While Clemson is deserving of the #1 overall ranking and seeding, they are not the best team in the country and the Aceperhead pay per head review obviously agree as the Tigers are an underdog against fourth-seeded Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl.
In fact, we don’t even think Clemson is among the FOUR best teams in the country, as we believe Ohio State is far superior based on the eye test. But as it stands, this game sets up as a trap line by the linesmaker, with many novice college football bettors grabbing the points with the top-ranked Tigers while more experienced bettors are laying the three points with Oklahoma.
지난 10 년 동안 한국은 여성 골프 부문에서 지배력으로 바뀌었다. 게다가 한국 여자 골프의 승격은 박세리가 1998 년 미국 여자 오픈에서 우승했을 때 시작된 것 같다. 지난 일요일, 한국의 골프 팬들은 한국이 UL 국제 크라운, 대한민국 국제 우승을 차지하게 된 것을 기쁘게 생각합니다.

Tampa Bay’s Jameis Winston and Tennessee’s Marcus Mariota were the two high-profile rookie quarterbacks that made their professional debut last week, but they weren’t the only high-profile rookies to debut for their new teams.
The jury is still out on both of those quarterbacks. Winston had some decent throws and down field and showed some promise at times, but he also had other plays where he looked lost and was nowhere near his receivers. Tampa Bay was a 2.5-point underdog at Minnesota and lost by ten points, but the sports betting software lists them as a two-point home favorite Monday night at home vs. Cincinnati.
Marcus Mariota had a decent showing if you look at his box score, but his first two drives ended in turnovers (one interception and one fumble). Compared to Winston, Mariota seemed more comfortable and he did regain his composure after the early missteps. Like Tampa Bay, Tennessee is a small home favorite this week.
After the first week of College Football action, some teams have established themselves as legitimate contenders (Ohio State, Alabama) while others were less-than-impressive and still have some things to work out (Baylor, Oregon).
Like last weekend, the early non-conference schedule features a ton of lopsided matchups and heavy favorites. There are, however a few marquee games on this weekend’s slate, highlighted by the first matchup of top ten teams when Oregon visits East Lansing to take on Michigan State.
These teams met last year, with Oregon scoring a 46-27 home win as a 14-point favorite. That was a tough beat for MSU backers, as the Spartans held a nine-point lead late in the third quarter before Oregon rallied to score the last 28 points of the game.
Right around Week 5 in the NFL Regular Season, NFL Football bettors can begin using game statistics as a pretty good indication on how teams really are. Using game stats prior to this week results in smaller sample that can be heavily influenced by strength of schedule and untypical performances.
There are, however, some notable exceptions. Key injuries, suspensions, and bad lines making teams look better or worse than they appear.
There have been a number of key injuries this season – especially at the quarterback position. Ben Roethlisberger and Tony Romo will be out several more weeks, while Andrew Luck and Drew Breese have missed games as well.
We’ll discuss Pittsburgh briefly, because they present a perfect example of a team to avoid when using game statistics in NFL handicapping. To start the year, Pittsburgh was missing RB Le’Veon Bell – one of their top offensive threats and really the one player the offense was based around. With Bell, Pittsburgh relied on the QB-to-WR combo of Big Ben to Antonio Brown with moderate success. When Bell returned from his suspension, Big Ben suffered a bad leg injury, so backup QB Mike Vick took over. Since that time, the Steelers have become heavily dependent on the run while their passing numbers have gone way down.
