    Do you get the points? What a ridiculous question for a bet. Of course you don't.

    Just as you said yourself, it's a bet. Bets use point spreads. That's where point spreads come from. What a ridiculous statement to say I don't while still calling it a bet. If your team can't beat a rent-a-win by the points spread, then perhaps they don't belong in an elite conference.

    If you're betting on a sportsbook, you use spreads....last I checked, you're not a sportsbook.

    Oregon is a top 5 team and they didn't cover against ASU.

    Fair point, but surely you should expect your team to outright beat a Sun Belt team at home. I give ASU about a 20% chance and that's the homer in me. I don't wager like that when I feel I have an 80% chance to be wrong.

    Well I give Nebraska a 20% chance to cover

    As TGT lawyer/judge/executioner I RULE that the best way to do it is via the spread.

    A spread is much like the stock market in that it sets the fair price for any betting on a sporting event.

    The current majority appears to have set the spread at 23 points

    http://espn.go.com/college-football/lines

    As such the TGT "BIG BET" shall be based upon a 23 point spread.

    Should either party decline to wage said "BIG BET" they shall heretofore be known as "The BIG [CENSORED]"

    23? I think everyone would take ASU at 23. I say 20.5 would be a better spread.

    If "they" are the Indians Red Wolves, you're correct.

    Nebraska breezed to a 29 point win, which they should do against such a miserably inferior opponent.

    Sorry, buddy been busy but I had to stop in to see how you were doing... How'd Saturday go for ya?

    Also, Ram.... You are right that they should've run the ball more but there is absolutely no excuse & no way to spin 653 yards.

    Obviously not well but honestly, we had our chances and killed ourselves. Our QB couldn't hit the 7 yard curl all day despite them being there. Added that we didn't take any shots down field and we were making it easy for Nebraska. At the end of the day though, we've got the record everyone expected us to have at this point. It hasn't necessarily been pretty getting here, but the next 9 games are the important ones (well, 8 after Alcorn State).
