Every so often we have a weekend like this. Yesterday, there were some pretty bizarre results:
- Ohio State beats Illinois 17-10 (Vegas line OSU -26)
- Michigan beats Ball State 34-26 (Michigan -33.5)
- Maryland wins at Clemson 13-12 (Clemson -20)
- Florida beats Vanderbilt 25-19 (Florida -17)
- Arizona beats Washington State 27-17 (WSU -16)
Upsets happen every weekend, but it’s usually only one or two. It’s rare to see so many lines on top teams so wrong…I thought it might be a disease limited to college football, but it spread to the pros today too:
- Miami beats Chicago 31-13 (Chigago -13.5)
- San Francisco beats Minnesota 9-3 (Minn -4)
- Detroit beats Atlanta 30-14 (Atlanta -5)
- Washington beats Dallas 22-19 (Dallas -3)
- Kansas City beats St Louis 31-17 (St Louis -3.5)
Same deal, there are upsets every week. But come on, Miami at 1-6 beating Chicago at Soldier Field by 18? One thing is sure, the underdog was hungry this weekend and displayed some bite.
