Lost in all of this crazy LSU stuff is the bedwetting done by N.C. State. How in the hell did they lost this game? Everytime I checked it out they were up 10-14 points. Wow.
N.C. State.. WTF

This was a classic textbook example of how hard (impossible) this game is to beat.
Line opens at VT -4, which is making an undefeated team a 4 point home dog. Vegas is begging you to take the dog, as it looks like the right side.
Then gets bet down to 3, as most sucker, like yours truly have already bitten on the 4 points.
NCSU dominates and leads most of the way, then it becomes clear who the better team is, as VT comes back.
Then as a tease to us dog plyaers, VT scores with 1:30 to go, and goes up 4, and we dog players are hoping for a push at this point, which the gambling gods temporarily grant, as VT goes for two, which is silly really, but as they fail, we thank the gods for the miracle push ( which had looked like a win, but we gladly accept, at this point.
In desperation, NCSU tosses int, which puts VT close to the goal. Instead of taking a knee, VT punches it in, ruining even the miracle push.
Many lessons to be learned here, but if you take just one from this, let it be this:
VEGAS IS SMARTER THAN YOU. VEGAS IS SMARTER THAN ME. VEGAS IS SMARTER THAN EVERYONE, + THEY GET 10 % edge JUST IN CASE!

Yup....I had two of the worst beats today...Army and NCST. Can't wait to see what's in store for me tonight. I'm not even going to pay attention to these games tonight. Just going to check the scores later and hope for the best. This day has sucked ass so far for me.....:facepalm:
Actually won with VaTech -3 (bought 1/2 pt) and believe it or not pushed on Army (1/2 pt)
Its not that State didn't call timeouts. 1st down they were offsides and pretty sure on the 1st down after that, VaTech ran it in.
VaTech couldn't take knees and run out the clock b/c they were up 4 and State had all 3 timeouts. Down 11 with 6 sec's left, after a 1st down and on Tech's 40, State decided not to run another play. I was glad b/c if they score and get the 2 then I push.
Tough loss for sure though, they were up 17-0 and then 24-13 I believe.
