Bad Beats: Tough to recover from Dolphin debacle

Ben Burns

Whether you won or lost, the Saints’ remarkable cover against Miami is the type of game that messes with your mind. It lingers and affects the way you bet for weeks.

If you had the Dolphins plus 6, you’re heartbroken and have lost a lot of confidence. If you had the Saints, you’re probably a little bit over-confident. How you react in coming weeks could be the difference of a winning season and a losing one.

Bad Beats: How do you blow a coverage when you are in basically your Hail Mary defense?

Ask the Washington Huskies.

With 13 seconds to play in a tie game with Arizona State, the Huskies allowed not one but two Sun Devil receivers to get behind their defensive backs deep. Arizona State quarterback Danny Sullivan simply dropped back and heaved a 50-yard winning touchdown pass to a wide-open Chris McGaha.

Burns’ Week 7 2009 BCS Handicapping Tips

Beyond the BCS: Who’s better — TCU or Boise State?

Each week Ben Burns and David Payne scour the non-BCS conferences looking for a hidden gem.

Life is tough in the MWC and WAC. Lose one game, and you go from a potential BCS bowl to the Humanitarian Bowl. That’s a mammoth pay cut, and a lot of pressure on the coaches from the non-BCS conferences.

Bad Beats: Ego check for Ray Lewis and Brandon Meriweather

Ben Burns
Ben Burns

Maybe we were bullied too much on the playground, but puffed-up egos really piss us off here at Bad Beats Central.

Losing a bet because someone can’t keep their ego in check and feels the need taunt or excessively celebrate is infuriating.

Take Ray Lewis for instance. Does anyone in the NFL not know this guy is a hard-hitting, physical bad ass?

Each week David Payne and Ben Burns scour the non-BCS conferences, looking for a hidden gem to take advantage of.

This week, they take a look at teams that are set up to fall during the second half of the college football season.

Hawaii: The Warriors laid an egg and lost their quarterback in last week’s 27-6 loss at Louisiana Tech.

Burns’ Bad Beats: Extra points deliver extra bad beats

Ben Burns
Ben Burns

For something worth one point, PAT’s sure do screw things up.

No one knows that more than bettors who played the Kansas State-Iowa State game or the total in Auburn-Tennessee.

Last season, teams converted extra points better than 95 percent of the time. Thirty-five teams did not miss an extra point all season, and only one team, North Texas, converted on less than 85 percent.

Beyond the BCS: Nothing certain about mid-week games

Ben Burns

The fall shuffle is on.

Beginning this month, teams from across the country will have their schedules turned upside down with Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday games.

Classes will have to be rescheduled, and practice routines will be disrupted. Players and coaches will be traveling late at night. It’s hectic.

Burns’ Bad Beats

If your team never gives you any hope of winning, the loss often won’t sting as bad. You can simply write it off as a bad decision, try to learn from it and move on.

Saturday’s Wake Forest-Boston College game seemed to be one of those types of games for anyone who bet the Demon Deacons.

But coach Todd Dodge told reporters that his son and quarterback will be at full strength against the Blue Raiders, who are coming off a win over Maryland.

Bad Beats: When Bad Quarterbacks Attack

Here’s the situation: You’re laying two points with a home favorite. Your team just scored a go-ahead touchdown and now leads 10-6 with 2:30 left.

Which opposing NFL quarterback would you most like to be facing in that situation?

Oakland’s JaMarcus Russell, if not the unanimous first choice, has to be in the discussion.
