    Default Is there anything more frustrating...

    Then the bubble picks that you handicapped that you end up passing on WINNING while the picks you went with are losing?

    I hate watching the scoreboard reel off would-have-been-winners while I'm sweating all the games I ACTUALLY went with.

    how about Syracuse covering 59 minutes of a game...then CINC scoring a meaningless TD to give you a push instead of a win

    Well that one actually worked in my favor... I had Cinci -20.5 so I was losing all game long and WON at the end there.

    Won't apologize for that one though... had Utah +4.5 and Utah had the lead 10 - 9 with 1:34 left. Touchback. Any other game, BYU either gets stopped or just kicks the game winning FG; but today they score their first TD of the game to cover with 38 seconds left to screw me.

    I deserved that late steal

    Thanks... you said "you" so I thought you were talking about me. If you were on Syracuse, my apologies on that copout.

    No doubt, last second cop-outs suck and are frustrating. But I find that longterm they go both ways.

    It kills me a week like this. I went 3 - 4...

    USC/ASU UNDER 49 (Loss)
    Texas -6.0 over @Texas A & M (Loss)
    Hawaii -3.0 over Boise State (Win)
    Utah +4.5 over @BYU (Loss)
    Tulsa -12.5 over @Rice (Loss)
    Florida Atlantic -11.5 over @Florida International (Win)
    Cincinnati -20.5 over @Syracuse (Win)

    But the games I BARELY skipped over included...

    UCLA/Oregon UNDER (figured UCLA's awful defense, Oregon's new-no-Dixon offense would struggle)
    Arkansas +13 (love this team but after the way they played against Tenn, passed)
    Virginia/VTech OVER 38 (two very defensive teams, sure, but the total still just seemed too low)
    Florida -14 (May be a storied rivalry, but Tebow is too unstoppable this year and it is in the swamp)

    Now I know hindsight is 20/20... it just sucks to have the feeling I left so much money on the table.

    Middled the Cin/Syra game. But also suffered the tough beat on Utah. Glad I didn't watch either one of them.
