First, Bad Beats would like to offer its sincerest condolences to Chicago Bears fans, who lost linebacker Brian Urlacher for the year during Sunday’s loss to Green Bay.
Now, we would like make fun of Nathan Vasher, Lovie Smith and Jay Cutler. Nice work, guys.

Bad Beats: Welcome to college football by a straight right

College football welcomed back bettors with a LaGarrett Blount right hand instead of a friendly handshake.
The opening week featured backdoor covers, favorites who forgot to score in the second half, a last-minute safety that affected a total and a meaningless touchdown on the game’s final play that hurt.

Bad Beats: BCS style points can kill

The BCS has made running up the score a smart move instead of an unsportsmanlike one.

Those style points also can lead to a bad beat.

Last week ‘s Bad Beats column either spawned the most intellectual conversation ever had in a Sports betting forum or the dumbest, depending how you look at it.

To quickly summarize, some of you believe there is no such thing as a bad beat. A loss is simply and ultimately a bad bet.

Losing stings when a game goes just like you thought it would, but you end up on the wrong side.

Those times when your team’s running game was way too much for the other team’s injury-ravaged D-line. But a tipped pass is intercepted and returned for a meaningless touchdown, preventing you from covering.

Or when you play the under in hoops, and the game is 30 points under at the end of regulation … before going into overtime.
