Furman is +3.5 at WCU

IE WCU is favored to beat us by home field advantage
As soon as I saw that line pop up on my internet I jumped all over Furman plus 3 1/2. Clearly they wanted you to bet WCU, whom everyone was calling a 2 score favorite. We the built in 3 point for home field advantage, WCU was a mere 1/2 point favorite. The greatest offensive force in the recent history of SoCon football was only a half point better than a struggling FURMAN team. Really? Love the Dins. I predicted the final score at 42 - 17 Furman 2 days ago. If we kick an extra point, don’t screw up another field goal attempt and don’t have a TD called back on a stupid penalty, the final would have been 39-17. Close enough for me.

FUBeAR didn’t hate his…

Final Score: Furman 34 - WCU 10

…call either.

Was looking for 4 TD’s and 2 FG’s for the Paladin O. Really disappointed in not divining and factoring in the missed FG & XP ‘adventures’ we experienced. Also expected our D to hold them to 1 TD and 1 FG. The DPI call before their 2nd TD in the 2nd quartet was an INT in FUBeAR’s pre-game visions. Probably needed to go to mental replay to be sure, but rushed thru to get to the point of envisioning the Paladins lining up in the best formation in Football with 15 seconds to play, a 24 point lead, and no time on the clock. Oh well, FUBeAR ain’t 100% perfect…yet.

It sure ain’t bad. Sometimes ciphering and configuring works out. Good job. I was afraid I was doing it thru purple tinted glasses but when but when they came out with that 3 1/2 point line it was because the real smart money was backing the Dins and they were looking for Western betters seeking a bargain from the 2 score points they were expecting they had to give. The game played out exactly as we thought/hoped. Coulda/shoulda been 39 -17 which puts us damn near bullseye. They were a good team. We were simply better. Our grunts beat their glitter pretty bad. All hail them fat boys. They were warriors. I told Roberto that the guy behind me called him a f——g Monster. He got that right!
