[Psalm 51:17]

Nah, but I had no right to say it wouldn't be 34-0, so in that respect I repent. I had no idea, none of us did, how it would go actually.

Which is why gambling on games is a NO-NO - you just don't know what the outcomes will be, no matter how lopsided the matchups are. A turnover here, a few more penalties there, a coach getting too aggressive with playcalling there, a miscue here, etc, etc could be more than enough to swing momentum of games.

For example, when Seattle played Dallas here in NT over a month ago, Dallas had a 17 point 4th quarter lead, however, for some reason, Seattle decided to take their time instead of the hurry-up, and they ended up scoring a late TD to cut it to 10. No, Seattle wasn't going to win the game as it turned out they had very little time on the clock when all was said and done(which was why everyone was mystified they didn't go hurry-up), HOWEVER, Dallas was favored by 11, which meant a mere 10 point win allowed SEATTLE to cover the spread...so ultimately, all those people(probably the majority) who bet on Dallas got hosed.

Again, like I said earlier, not all, but it appears some of these games have "rigged" all over them. I mean somehow Houston keeps winning all these games despite the fact they don't have their QB and his backup, their best pass rusher, their best WR, an OL, among other key injuries that would shut the door on any team's season.
