Before you start shouting, I'm talking about the guy that bets all the time, not the office pool or the Super Bowl yearly bettor.
I absolutely would've bet the under at 7.5 or 8 if I were determined to make a bet, but I had faith we'd win the game. I fully expected it to be a tense, low scoring, defensive battle.
As it was, I found a smaller bet for a no odds winner and made my few bucks.
