Quoted: For the non gamblers a few questions: The -7.5 means that Georgia has to beat UM by 8 to "win" the bet, correct? What does the money line do? And, the over/under is based on the combined points of both teams? Thank you. View Quote Correct. Money line is a bet on who will win the game, regardless of the score. A +220 means you would win $220 if you placed a $100 bet on Michigan to win the game. Over under is the combined score. |

Quoted: For the non gamblers a few questions: The -7.5 means that Georgia has to beat UM by 8 to "win" the bet, correct? What does the money line do? And, the over/under is based on the combined points of both teams? Thank you. View Quote Yes Georgia has to win by 8 for you to win that bet if you bet on Georgia. Just add 7.5 points to Michigans final score. And don’t kid yourself thinking that 1/2 point isn’t important. Especially when it’s on a key football scoring number like 7. Georgia wins by 7 points 35-28 yet the bettors with that 1/2 point cover. I’ve had that happen several times this year. Couple weeks ago had Okie St -4.5 when they beat Oklahoma by 4. Ouch. I could have and should have bought that 1/2 point and taken Okie St -4 which is an option. Not going into those details right now. The money line is a bet involving no point spread. Just pick the winner. Since Georgia is the favorite they will be listed with a minus (-) symbol in front of the number. Since Michigan is the underdog they will have a plus (+) symbol in front of their number. Attached File In the example above Georgia is the favorite listed at -280. That means for every $280 you bet you win $100. Michigan is the underdog listed at +240. That means for every $100 you bet you win $240. Huge difference and why underdogs that have a legitimate chance of winning are pretty good bets. Sometimes you will even see both teams with a negative (-) moneyline. That’s normally in a small favorite situation. I believe the NCSt / UCLA point spread right now is NCSt -1 and both have - money lines. Yes, the over/unders are the total score of both teams added together at the end of the game including overtime if played. And if for whatever reason a bet on the point spread or over under lands on that exact number it’s termed a push and you get your money back. That’s another reason those 1/2 points are huge. There can be no ties. |

Quoted: The point I was trying to make isn't if they would/should be in the playoffs. The point was they control their strength of schedule and the BS about them being a victim of their conference affiliation. When I point out they could schedule 4 P5 teams as their out of conference schedule people give me the crazy look and say "nobody would be stupid enough to schedule 4 P5 games for their non-conference schedule". But think of this: Every single SEC team has to play 8 SEC games every year, generally schedules 1 P5, then gets 3 G5 games. (generally speaking) Cincinati has 11 G5 games and 1 P5 in their schedule. IF they scheduled all non-conference games as P5 schools they'd still have 8 G5 games and 4 P5 games, that's the most difficult they could make their schedule but for some reason that's worse than just playing a P5 schedule as an SEC/Big12/B1G team? Common, they choose to play crap games and play the victim when they get left out in the cold with one loss like 2019 and 2020. I'm using Cinci here as the example, but UCF played this victim game for years too.

Sam Howell will play in the Duke’s Mayo bowl in Charlotte versus Lower Carolina. This is the same venue and opponent as his first game at UNC.
