This bowl season:

The spread in the game was basically meaningless. Whoever you thought would win covered the spread. The only time the spread came in to play for favorites that didn't cover was western kent, USC, and az st.

All other favorites that won covered and if they didn't cover the favorites lost str8 up to dogs.


In other words the spread has only mattered In 3 games.


Anyone else notice this or am I just thinking deliriously after a few drinks

You are correct. Dogs have covered 20 of the 32 bowl games thus far, and dogs are 17-3 straight up.

I am certain someone like Rolltide could be more precise, but generally speaking the underdog who covers the point spread wins straight up without the points 65-70% of the time.

The only problem is you still have to pick the winner. :)
