Fascinating -- seems the folks in Vegas are better-than-average at picking winners.  Aritcle: https://philsteele.com/how-often-to-underdogs-win-outright/

Are we underdogs in every game?  Probably not, but pretty close.

Yes this.  Was hoping it showed a better chance of USF winning as an underdog.  Geez!

By that chart we have a 20% chance to win vs WKU.

I really hope we are not underdogs to Charlotte and Rice by the time the games are played or we will not be moving forward. Outside of wku,Bama, and Utsa I don't see any teams we should getscared of losing to with upgraded play and coaching.

Start low and go slow.  You may have had too much.😁

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
