The California Golden Bears are underdogs in their match-up against the Virginia Tech Hokies, according to the latest odds
With all the players for Cal on the injury list, I understand this betting line. Surprised it’s not a higher number. My prediction: VA Tech 34-21.
Is there any way to bet that our first play call will be a run straight up the middle for -1 to 1 yard gain? I’d make so much money
There are offshore sportsbooks operating outside U.S. state gaming commission jurisdiction who offer novelty prop bets like exact drive bets. But, from what I've read, they're shady.
Good luck getting your money out
Yep
We now have a new proven Offensive Coordinator which means your bet might be hopefully wrong
My bet would be that our first third and long play will be a pass out into the flat that will pick up two yards.
I’ll bet that it goes for +12 but is called back for holding.
And it won't be the last time we run the play.
Kalshi, Polymarket. I'm sure you can put your money where your mouth is if you wanted to.
Cal probably loses this one also, but margin of loss might be closer than 10.
Ratings and Rankings
ESPN SP+ 88 (down 7 spots) (94 offense, 77 defense, 124 special teams) VT = 28
Football Power Index 82, down 6, predicted record 4-8, 10% chance to win 6 games VT= 43
The Athletic’s ranking: #72. Down 9 spots, VT=34
Sagarin: Rank = 81, down 8 (VT=45)
Using predictor ratings, Virginia Tech is about a 5.5 - 6 pt favorite
Masse composite (80) rankings - 92 (down 14), range 51-111 (VT= 44, Alabama #1)
Colley’s bias free index (my personal favorite, no priors, but now all connected) = 102 !?
(VTech = 37, Alabama slightly ahead of Texas for number 1)
