Gotta Win Game
Sometimes you bet a team simply because they are in a game they essentially have to win or their season is in the crapper. Last week this could be seen in the NFL in the Eagles/Redskins game where if Philly loses they go to 1-5 and for all intents and purposes they are done.
This week, we are going to say this situation exists in the Utah/Cal game. Both have similar records, the difference is that the Cal coach, Jeff Tedford, is on the hot seat. If Cal does not become bowl eligible this year (college speak for 6 wins, Lou), there is a definite chance he’ll be bounced. If you look at the Cal schedule, they pretty much have to win this one. So in a slight twist on the theme, this is a Career Must Win situation in addition to a Season Must Win.
