Maxim Game
I am going to post whenever I see a game where I feel there was a potential precedent set at some point. They will be called Maxim games. The Maxim scenario here involves…
Team A is a very strong team playing at home. Team B is their even more talented opponent. Team B is so strong that Vegas puts them as 5 point favorites despite playing on the road against a very, very good team. The result of the game…Team B beats the hell out of Team A, absolutely destroys them. The game we are concerned with, is the very next week…
Team A then goes on the road to a play a fairly weak Team C. Team C is not horrible but they are definitely mediocre. Vegas makes Team A a 6 pt favorite. The result of the game…Team C beats the hell out of Team A.
Team A was the University of Utah over the last couple weeks. Were they so dejected by their late season home loss to TCU that they had little chance against Notre Dame on the road? Something to keep an eye on. I’ll keep a look out for relevant examples. Points of interest, college not pro game, at #5 Utah had chance to win out and play in huge bowl game
