    Default The two top "Best Bets" in the BTP contest are:

    In college its
    Michigan -7

    In the NFL its
    Steelers - 4.5

    I wonder how the consensus Best Bets will do overall? Might be worth following.

    Pittsburgh is by far the better team and looks safe at a glance, but Cleveland might keep the game real close in a division game at home in the season opener.

    I refuse to bet on away favorites in the NFL. I make a few away fav bets in the NCAA. Pitt might win by 28 and I'd still feel the same.

    I have to say: the disparity in both games listed above are pretty shocking.

    In L5 years Steelers are the NFL's best road favorite in the spread range over 3 pts up to and including 7 pts.

    DH, don't you think that stat isn't as valid anymore with Cowher gone? I guess we'll see but I don't think that stat holds near as much water now that Cowher is no longer the head coach.

    There is a 10/1 ratio on UCLA over BYU in BTP. UCLA may very well cover but this drastic of a slant is just shocking to me.

    I noticed that. And 1 out of every 4 contestants took the steelers. It will be cool to see if their are any trends that imerge.

    Im not on that UCLA game but I sure wouldnt lay a TD against BYU. They may well cover but BYU is a live dog imo.

    Well said Johnny,i don't get it myself either.To bet a road team opening day as a favorite,against a harsh conference rival and not by -2.5 (or maybe as much as -3 in a special circonstence), but -4.5 opening day,maybe week 6,10 or after when one team is out of it and the other totally superior maybe..but i can't take Cleveland...rather the NYJ AT +6.5.
