hey bobby thanks for posting these for every bowl game, i am sure i am not alone when i say i appreciate it.
from the games i have looked at scout's inc. was pretty decent at handicapping, although i only looked at a couple of these. if nothing else they give a good write-up and some good stats.
what is your take on their capping ability throughout the year?
I think they're helpful. I'm much better at looking for fault's in someone's opinion on a game then creating an opinion from scratch and their analysis on line play and special teams is more times right than wrong and it's somethinig that I have a hard time forming an opinion on. They used to do this for all the pro games, but they've switched to a "keys to the game format" which is pretty worthless.
I think the least important aspect of the write up is their prediction, but since you asked and the dickhead handicapper from Alaska said that they were "consistently wrong", I went back and tallied the numbers. Like most things that edludes says with arrogance and conviction, it's complete bullshit and they're 20-11 this year.
Glad you've got something from them.
