"BTW, don't mistake me for thinking that individual game analysis is your bag, or even interesting to you."
Correct, I only look deeper into individual game match-ups when the numbers are on the fence of whether to make a bet or not. And I'm definitely not as knowledgeable on team histories, conference histories, coaching histories, recruiting histories etc. as your average school+conference fan. Football is the only major sport I actually enjoy watching, but I'm first and foremost a gambler/handicapper.
BTW, my total for the game is 57, and it wouldn't surprise me if the posted total is lower, as usually seems to be the case with Navy games.
"You said your totals plays are better than your sides,how about your 2 unit sides? They also seem good ? Or am I missing something ?"
2 Unit sides are doing well this year, going 7-2. I haven't had any 2 unit totals yet, but last week both of the 1.5 unit totals won. Because my totals lines are always closer to the actual lines than my lines on sides are to the actual lines, my bets on totals tend to be flatter. Sometimes my lines on sides are 20+ points off the actual lines -- that will never happen on totals, where I've only be averaging one total more than 10 points off the actual total per week, I'd say.
