Amazing stat from Gameday this morning...

If you blindly bet on every double digit FBS underdog to cover over the first two weeks of the season, you’d be 34-17 (and obviously 2-0 in games involving MSU). Seems like Vegas doesn’t really have a solid feel on the college football scene yet.

They never have a solid feel on college football during the first 4 to 6 weeks.

Except normally “not a good feel” might lead to a 55-45 or maybe 60-40 split of whether or not teams cover in a particular subset of games. 67-33 is pretty damn lopsided, and is probably not as good for the bookie bottom line.

I think some of that volatility is due to COVID. Some teams are playing down several starters and lord knows how much practice time guys are missing.

Take the FSU / ND matchup tonight. We can all agree ND is way better than FSU, but they’ve had a ton of guys miss practice over the last couple weeks. I could see them being a little too sloppy to cover 21 tonight.
