Why did we lay the big chalk on Georgia Tech today?

[Paddywack]

Virginia has been playing great, and are on a roll. They upset a very good UNC last week. Why in the world did we think a team that struggled with Gardner Webb would beat Virginia by 2 TD's?

hindsight is 20-20 why didnt i lay my mortgage on tech -1?

 

[ProphetablePicks]

ditto... it is gambling.. anything can happen.. Virginia had been playing terrible on the road.. To many came in over valued.. I guess "many" were wrong. .

 

[AR_23]

Because few thought they would pull 4 straight. I didn't bet on it thankfully.

I know hindsight is 20-20, I have to admit I joined in and chose to bet this one. However, in hindsight, this pick looks terrible.

Now on to the next bet....

The value was there with GT.....sometimes teams just don't get it done. 90% of capping angles pointed to GT. I'm not mad I layed the chalk, I'm mad they didn't produce.

Good Luck

Thanks for the explanation. Now let's cash in on some other games.

I tried to warn ya...in several threads both here and at EOG...oh well...

The great Dr Bob released GT as a play today

 

[piccolo]

you shoulda listened to him. I too had virg+14 large.

I dont even see how some one could have imagined this would be a cover for Gatech.

 

[harrington]

I too jumped on the 14. GT should not be giving 14 to anyone.

 

[Jetplane]

I'm with Randy. GT "was the right side" they just didn't execute--kinda like BC today. It's all good though. I think I partially did it because I was dumb enough to bet VA vs USC at the beginning of the year lol.

 

[shootsmokey]

I was on tech also. I learned my lesson on following. WOW

 

[hognosticator]

Because Virginia was in a horrible spot off of three consecutive home wins (all as underdogs) and then going out on the road. Historically, that has been an awful spot for teams. Also, Virginia under Al Groh has been horrid on the road. It didn't work out for Georgia Tech but I think if you follow that method it works out more often than not.

I had Virginia, however, it is always easier picking the games after they are played. Hindsight 20/20 comment is completely appropriate.
