Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
I get it. Every one in America knows the line is set to get balanced bets. But 12.5 dogs last year and 10 point dogs last night. People said Vegas must know something. I said they know how to get Oregon fans money
Combine that with Husky fans still suffering from PTSD and reluctant to bet and you get a big line that doesn't reflect the emotion on the field. That should change as Husky Arrogance is welcomed back to bigtime football.
It also shows the power of media - social and legacy - to set a narrative and how many folks just follow along
Oregon didn't tell all the pundits to go full retard but it sure played into the hands of the DAWGS
I'm thinking that these teams are about 3 points apart
Home, away, neutral field
Maybe London or Berlin?

Ducks were NOT hungry out there.
I was not trolling with my 20 point win prediction. I felt UW was going to do it for 60 minutes. But 3 points is fine
JMac adds a huge dimension, he is every bit as important as Rome (almost). Dillon is a fucking stud.
Fucking Asa was a sight for sore eyes. Lot of shit going right.
People think they can diagnose how good a team really is by analyzing blowouts against shitty teams, rather than looking at head to head.
Exhibit A: Oregon and national sports media.
CFB has always been a beauty contest, but a beauty contest with "scientific" assurance is even more stupid.
They actually talked decent about the UW this year, just not in the fucked up FPI programming.
Sagarin was another one that had the Ducks way high - both programs must give bonus poonts for blow outs.
People fall for the hype
