[Aug 25] - We were anticipating a strong start to the college football season. Saturday’s Week Zero represented a chance for us to get out of the gates quickly ahead of the furious slate scheduled for Week One. It did not pan out like we had hoped. The action started with Florida taking on Miami (FL). Our syndicates went heavy on the Hurricanes, and had smaller action on the over. The Canes were game throughout, and challenged for the outright win up until the final play. The total was an unfortunate loser as Miami missed a chip shot 27-yard field goal early in the 4th quarter. That miss proved to be the difference and it also likely cost the Canes an outright win as their last drive of the game stalled at the Florida 26-yard line. We got off to a good start, which could have been a lot better, but things weren’t so beneficial for us in the second game, Arizona at Hawaii. Let’s just say the plays on Arizona -10 and the under were never close. It was apparent early on, like 1st quarter early on, that we were on the wrong side of both. The Wildcats quickly fell behind 14-0 and couldn’t muster anything offensively. The only thing that prevented Hawaii from running away with the game early on were a pair of interceptions, which in hindsight proved to be only a tease for Arizona fans. The Rainbow Warriors went on to grab the outright win, and it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that the total would fail after seeing 49 points go up in the first half. Now that that is behind us, our syndicates are fully committed to delivering a monster Week One. We have a history of fast starts in football, so with a losing Week Zero you know it means this week plays into our favor. We expect nothing short of a clinic, starting this Thursday. Long live the Snitch. #VegasStrong
