Big MAC

Born in 1967, the Big Mac
offers 540 caories, 29 grams
of fat, 25 grams of carbs and
1,040 mg of sodium, a tidy
43% of your recommended
daily intake of sodium. That's
before you get fries.  A study
in 2007 found that 80% of
Americans know what the
ingredients are for a Big Mac,
but only 60% know that
"thou shalt not kill" is one of
the ten commandments.
Moses should have hired
Needham, Harper and Steers,
the agency responsible for
"two all beef patties...etc"

I hope I didn't get to the line too late for tonight's MAC championship game at Ford Field in Dee-troit, featuring Northern Illinois and Ohio. 

This one has the Huskies as a 3 1/2 point favorite, a position I was initially inclined to take.  After doing a bit of digging I decided to purchase what I assume to be the safe refuge here and go after the O/U.

Indecision frequently has a price, and mine was 4 1/2 points.  I'm on at over 71 1/2; the open was 66.  That's a TD difference, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the ask price didn't climb too high. 

In the other Friday game, it's the UCLA Bruins visiting Oregon for the first ever PAC 12 nee 10 championship game.  At this moment, the Ducks are 31 point favorites, pretty silly for a championship game. I'm inclined to just stay away from this one.  The Ducks are pretty consistent high fliers, but UCLA is difficult to predict.  This game could be interesting for a while, but Oregon is almost certain to get a comfy leady by Q4, at which point it's likely that the reserves will be on the field, and covers and O/U's are too hard to predict.

UPDATE
I'm throwing in the towel.  Came home to find it 20-0 at the half.  Should have been 20 points by the quarter.  Crappy game, too, hardly worthy of a conference championship contest...not a defensive tussle, more of a display of offensive ineptitude.  Blechhhh!  This is why TGP moans about the MAC. 20-13 with 7:30 to play, no chance for anything close to the point total.
