    The Gators are due for a regression to the mean. Losses to Auburn, LSU and Georgia are givens. They'll probably get ambushed at least once on the road as a heavy favorite, either Kentucky, Mizzou or South Cackalacky.

    Benching Guarantano would be a very good start.

    Nobody would shed a tear if he did.

    It took Jalen Hurd leaving the team in the middle of the 2016 season for his backup to get a real chance --- guy by the name of Alvin Kamara.

    I always thought Missouri should have been in the Big Ten instead of Nebraska
    They damn sure should have been in instead of Rutgers

    They wanted the Big Ten, but the Big Ten didn't want them because of their lust for Notre Dame.

    The better play is Alabama in the first half. They covered 10 or 11 first-half lines in a row last year. In the second half, you're relying on scrubs to cover the full-game number.

    I worked that angle to death last year too, believe me. Took me a couple of weeks to realize that was an option, then bet it and won about six weeks in a row.

    We just got sports betting last weekend in Indiana, I'm not sure if the shop closest to me will have first halves. I spent a couple minutes there today and there was serious hand-holding with some customers and the tellers. One of the Harrah's suits was explaining to a teller, "OK, he wants to bet a parlay, which means ... "

    Last year was our first for sports betting here and there was a lot of that hand-holding at the beginning as well. One thing I noticed throughout the year was a lot of customers helping each other with the mechanics of how to place a bet.

    It is amazing that the "morality" that kept sports betting out of so many states is being chucked aside by states. The supreme court ruling was that they "could" have it - not that they "must" have it. I love that they have it the NCAA's home state. Would Neuheisel get canned today?

    I find it fascinating that Trumpist Pseudo Christian states, which look down upon others because they're not Christian enough, are now legalizing gambling.

    Some of them have had casinos for years. Sports betting was just an expansion of it.
