Deep Dive: National Title Game, Michigan-Washington, January 8, 2024
A brutal week of bad beats in the NFL that produced a week so historic, it had never happened in the prior 1000+ Sundays of the NFL -- a perfect spread record on Sunday and Monday for public backing road favorites. By a YPP basis, it should have been a slightly profitable NFL week, which gives us some sense of the bad luck train that rolled over us, the sharps, and the sportsbooks on Sunday. C'est la vie -- that's the betting life of heavy volume. As past is prologue, now will likely be a good time to hop on, not jump off.
Got my head KICKED IN last week folks!! No two ways about it & y'all know what Momma said!! I've put myself in quite the hole at this point, but I've also been here before!! Seems to me, there's only one thing to do... Try to CLAW BACK OUT OF THIS THING!! If ya know me, you know I don't take defeat lying down!! Maybe time for a "Crickett Revenge Tour"!! Don't call it a COMEBACK!! STAY SAFE out there folks!! Good Luck & Good Gamblin!!!!
