Default I don\'t bet sports but...

College Fball
this week I heard that Northwestern is a one and a half point fav. over Arizona State. I'm an ASU fan so maybe this clouds my judgement. I think the Devils will win by at least 2 touchdowns. NW lost the opener to TCU(TCU is okay, but not good by any stretch). ASU killed UTEP(UTEP is flat out bad). If I were old enough I'd go down to a casino and bet a couple bills on this one.

Don't do it.

I know nothing about college football or the teams involved, but I am certain that if you believe one team will win by two touchdowns and the spread is actually less than two points, you should definitely not be betting on the game.

I'm a big Northwestern fan but I'm looking at ASU +2.5 this weekend. I don't think they'll win by 2 TD's, but I think they'll win by 7-10 points.

I think you are right. If the number I believe is so far off that of which those who get paid to place such numbers, then I'm probably wrong. Not them. I still believe that ASU will win by 10-24 points, thus I'm not going to bet on the game(not that I could anyway, but I would have somebody do it for me).

Is this different:

My team is favored by 13, and I think they will win by 28. Is this extreme prejudice?

Had I bet it, I would have underestimated my line by 5.
