utah state-ats road performance.....2-1 SU/ATS
CS FULLERTON road performance....0-5 SU/3-2 ATS
Utah State's large WIN/COVER, 68-42 as a -4' pt. road fav at uc riverside coupled to CS FULLERTON'S home fav outright loss to a weak Idaho team, made CS FULLERTON appear as an easy victim.
I think that had a lot to do with public perception.
But the ats road performance slightly favored CS FULLERTON.
In addition, I think another hidden statistic in this matchup was CS FULLERTON'S 3 consecutive home covers in December.
In my opinion, I think every team is allowed a "slip".
CS FULL "slipped" at home with Idaho. Prior to that, they play on the road as a 6' pt. dog and only lose to the number by a point and a half.
Before that, they go 0-5 SU, but....................
5-0 ATS !!
I realize all the stuff about hindsight, but I also think there's a lot of value in going back and seeing how and why we picked the wrong side.
