Van- what happened with LSU?  Thought you were on them large when the lines were released.

Cheers,

Vanzack

Iam not a huge follower of NCAAF but I have noticed over the years that a team that knows the coach is leaving for a bigger better school tends to lose.  They feel betrayed because the same guy that recruited them talking long term plans ends up leaving.

Any games fall into this?

Thoughts?

the opposite of this is true sometimes also.  reference WVU vs. Oklahoma a couple of years ago when Dick Rod left for Michigan.  WVU also lost their last game to Pitt as 28 point favorites and would've been playing for the national championship had they won.  the team used Dick Rod's leaving as extra motivation and played one of their best games of the year.  i see a very similar situation with Cincy/Florida..........

I would rethink this: when michigan state lost Nick Saban, they went to the citrus bowl (in florida) and beat the gators.  Michigan wolverines did the same to florida when Lloyd carr had left. West Virginia was impressive in their bowl game when rich rod left.

With that said, I think Florida beats Cincy by 30 points.  I can see Florida scoring on every possession.  I don't see Cincy doing the same against that Florida defense.

I may have 5k on that game depending on my bank roll for the rest of this month.

Disclaimer: I had my first losing season betting football (down about 30k) so I wouldn't put a lot of weight on my opinion this year.

I only bet in Equatorial Guinea Communaute Financiere Africaine Francs.

1 unit = 10,000,000 CFAF's.
