Slow start for big favorites,why

[Oak3]

Any reason why some of thes big favorites start so slow

W.Mich Fav by 10.5 down 9 at halftime
UAB fav by 11 down 3 at half
Deleware by 10.5 down 8, and
Tennessee by 17 down 4 at half.

I might be wrong here, but my best guess would be....

they didn't score enough points.

 

[Oak3]

Would probably expect a brilliant response like that at another board, expected more from Madjacks.

Just messin' with ya'.

Besides, it's not like I'm a good handicapper or anything, but since you're soliciting opinions....I'll bore you with mine.

Sometimes a team is designated as a favorite because they're truly worthy of the honor. Other times, it's a matter of public perception. The quality of your handicapping will tell you which is which.

Hope that helps.

Do some just feel like they just have to show up. Then play once they get a wake up call. IF so does it happen certain time or year? Just wondering out loud

99% of all sportsbettors lose money. The questions you're asking now have been asked year after year after year. There are no easy answers. Welcome to the world of eleven to ten.

UAB has rallied at least.Up 13 with 2 to go.

 

[Oak3]

All four came back to win the game. Three I believe covered 2nd half line.

 

[buddy]

And even though all four came back and won the game, only one team covered the closing line.

I don't understand what you're trying to ask.
