She had been picking us to win this game all summer.... our first two games changed her mind I guess.

Sep 15, 2011, 11:28 AM

MEANINGLESS!!!!!!

Its not set as to who the bookies think will win, its set to get an equal number of bettors on each side so that the bookies can't lose. If there are an equal number of bettors on each side the bookies still make out with the 10% vig.

You are correct... 100%.

but that is what people use to determine when something was an upset or not.

Sep 18, 2011, 8:45 PM [ in reply to Actually its pretty meaningful, Vegas has a tendency to ]

them spot on. But when there are 120 teams playing every week, statistically speaking theyre bound to get some of them very right. But just look at Clemson/Auburn game. Clemson was 3 point favorite and they won by 14. Not very accurate. They had USuC as 18 point favorites, and they only won by 3. Again very inaccurate. I'm sure a person could scour the scores from all 60 games and find a few where they were within an acceptable margin of error (maybe 10-15%).

I also think its a psychological thing where people tend to remember the ones where vegas gets it right on because it does seem to be amazing that someone could handicap a game 100% correctly.

But just to prove that a point spread is meaningless is the fact that it moves throughout the week based on where people are betting. Too many on one side, they swing it the other way to bring in new bettors on that side to even it out. That doesnt mean that one team is somehow improving throughout the week.

The 1st 2 games haven't helped my confidence much either. I don't know what to expect, but I haven't liked our OL nor have I been impressed with our Defense. I hope we have a lot more than I've seen, and I hope it surfaces really soon.

She is a female. It's the politically correct thing to do now. She adds nothing, but her network has gotten closer to its quota.

She has absolutely no clue


Sep 15, 2011, 9:47 AM

If you base this on facts:

Our D while not good is better than their D statistically - Advantage Us

Their O and our O so far is a push!!

Their SP Teams and Our Special Teams slight nod to The Barn

based on this we would get the nod. She thinks too much with her head...

Oh wait there's the problem, nothing is in there.

Sep 15, 2011, 11:32 AM [ in reply to She has absolutely no clue ]

auburn. Seems like she made a good pick in auburn by one point. Stop hating on her just because she didnt pick Clemson. You people on here take it personally everytime someone at ESPN picks against Clemson. The team has played like dog crap so far.

Defenses- both suck
Offense- both are equal
Special Teams - slight edge to Auburn

Thus the one point auburn win (by Heather's prediction). My own prediction is Auburn easy over Clemson. They will come in and manhandle Clemson on both lines.

is much more of an advantage for us than the slight special teams advantage they MAY have.

All based on what I think

:)
Duke24/BC21 She may have gotten this one right
Auburn28/Clemson27 Wrong our tigers win by 10
Oklahoma21/FSU17 right winner but by more points
WVU31/Maryland24 right winner but by more
NCST42/SouthALA7 Closer than this
WFU45/GardnerWebb10 probably right on this one
GT56/Kansas21 Have to agree
UNC21/UVA17 What?? UNC Wins but by more than 4
VT42/Arkansas St3 Can't say I know anything about AKST

Sep 15, 2011, 1:06 PM

of course i pull for Clemson, but i also remoarked about the spreads she missed in my opinion.

I did however miss one game, I think OSU beats Miami by a touchdown at least.

Re: Football Update: Dinich Clemson-Auburn prediction

I think the fact that Auburn beat a ranked Miss. State team improved many peoples opinion of them and us seeming to struggle at times against Troy and Wofford have diminished our reputation.

It will be a big game for both programs.

Heather, can you bring me a sammich and a cold one, please?


Sep 15, 2011, 10:09 AM

Remember, she picked BC to "surprise" people. Yeah, surprisingly bad, as it turns out.

I remember a few years ago in a mailbag session she


Sep 15, 2011, 10:22 AM

told someone without going to Journalism school they'd never succeed in the the business (when they asked what they could do to get a job like hers).

I just always think about her saying that, basically every time she writes something.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Statistic!!!!!!


Sep 15, 2011, 11:42 AM

She is a diversity statistic. Only reason she has a job. HD is clueless. She could not pick 20% against the spread. I stopped visiting ESPN.com because her writing is worse than asking a 5 year old their opinions on football.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

She is an Indiana alum....


Sep 15, 2011, 12:02 PM [ in reply to I remember a few years ago in a mailbag session she ]

which is just one more reason her opinion is automatically garbage and she's nothing more than a mouthpiece for other more knowledgable sports writers.

All summer she said that Clemson would win this game on her blog. ALL Summer.

This should tell you something about her, but more importantly about ESecPN. They have two dudes working the SEC Blog. Then they find this girl hanging out at IHOP and offer her the job of following the ACC.

Well played, ESecPN, well played.

What a joke!
