CFB BEST OF THE BEST ODDSMAKERS TRAP
Handicapper: Wayne Root
League: NCAAF
Competition: California vs Oregon
Time: Friday, October 15, 10:30 pm ET
Bet Type: Point Spread
Pick: California +13.5 (-110) (DraftKings)
Rotation #: 121
Analysis:
Root Reserve—-California The Oregon Ducks may win but it will not be pretty nor pretty easy. The Ducks will try and bounce back from an upset loss against Stanford 31-24. The Ducks appeared poised for their first 5-0 start in eight years when they rallied from 10 points down at halftime to take a 24-17 lead early in the fourth quarter on Anthony Brown's second TD run of the game. They ultimately fell short after a handful of favorable calls for Stanford propelled the game into overtime. And then the season of work fell into the abyss. But it gets worst. They will be without two of their key pieces for this game against California. Leading rusher CJ Verdell is out for the season after suffering a leg injury against Stanford, and defensive back Bennett Williams will also miss the rest of the season after surgery for a broken fibula. And worst because after the Stanford loss in which the quarterback did not throw a touchdown and was intercepted once, there had been discussions of turning from starter Anthony Brown to freshman Ty Thompson going forward. Was anything forgotten about this game? Yes!! The oddsmakers know most average bettors reading this write up of information did not know the “keys” to their Stanford loss, nor injuries or a QB controversy. Or how bad head coach Mario Cristobal really is. So they are trapping Friday favorite bettors and making them pay the price at 13.5 points. Take the points.
