I've been a BettorsChat (note the double BC :-)) fan for awhile, and decided I should finally make a pick.
And I'll start against the grain. I just bet $400 at +450 on a BC win. Here's the logic...
1) VT hasn't played a good team this season, and don't say Georgia Tech. GT lost to NC State right after VT beat Em... and if you recall VT BARELY beat NC State. Did Va Tech get better? Yes... but still I dont consider GT a real test.
2) BC is good. VERY good. Proof BC has gotten better... they beat Virginia, who just offed FSU.. the same FSU team that beat BC earlier in the season.
(Side Note: You can play the "who beat who" associative game forever, but it seems to me there is a WHOLE lotta parity in the ACC)
Which brings me to my 3rd and final point...
3) +450 for an interconference game, with 10 spots seperating the teams and virtually the SAME EXACT SITUATION resulting is a BC win a few years back, is WAY too high. I could see this being at 7 points and +250, but current lines seem like they people are buying way too much into the VT hype, at team who hasn't really been tested.
OK.. thats it. My first post. I am sure I am going to get a deluge of "You're a dumbass" and "This will be your first, and last post", but this is just my humble opinion and I would love to entertain the feedback of other, more expereinced bettors such as yourselves.
Thanks!
