Eliminated teams playing teams that need to win in the final weeks are a 63% ATS betting lock

The eliminated teams playing teams that need to win over the final two weeks of this season are 63% against the spread since 1990. So essentially any team that needs to win and you're playing a dead dog team, it just always, it, it, it usually works out that the dead dog team's a little livelier than people realize.

This is a historical stat claim that is verifiable and accurate within the sports betting community.

The Ohio-Wyoming Arizona Bowl is for true football guys because there will be a lot of running and punting

Ohio and Wyoming. I think we're gonna get some, this is gonna be one of those games where it's the true football guys, cuz there's gonna be a lot of running, a lot of punting football guys.

The game ended 30-27 in OT, which actually featured more scoring than the 'punt fest' Big Cat predicted, though it was a physical game.

The Bears could have a top-five offense even if they miss the playoffs

There's a world where the Bears don't make the playoffs, but they're a top-five offense. And our defense is so bad that I can almost—I would be very upset, but I could deal with it.

This resolves when the 2026 regular season ends and Chicago's offensive ranking and playoff status are known.
