Please don't be that much of a homer. Only a BYU fan would call their chances "better than average" in that game. That means that BYU should be favored on the road, which won't be happening.
I'm assuming this means you will be adding your 10 win prediction to the list. Didn't Scat say $50 per wrong pick.

I'm not running from anything. I made my offer, and even added another offer where I would pick 3 BYU losses too.
I stated that I don't think Utah loses more than 2 games. If you disagree, tell me what games and we can bet. Otherwise, keep it moving.

I'm assuming you don't have the sack to take either of my 2 offers? Just sit back and call me a homer but when push comes to shove you can't really disagree with my prediction with any confidence?
Just to be clear, these are the games that I am choosing but Utah simply needs to lose more than 3 games, correct? No way I'm paying out if Utah loses three games just because I didn't pick the exact 3 games. Your argument was that Utah wouldn't lose any more than two games.
I don't bet money. I learned a long time ago that it's just too easy to lose money and I don't have the extra to part with right now. Tell you what, I'll change my user name to "Salty's Bitch" for a month if Utah only loses 2 games. If they lose 3 or more you simply have to end every post for a month with, "I was wrong" and make NO mention of bad reffing, injuries or any of the other such nonsense that you always throw out when you are wrong.
According to you, average would be what Las Vegas odd maker's set the line at, correct? In a rivalry game anything can happen which ups the chances that BYU wins making it a better than average chance. That said, Colorado wasn't favored on the road either but they handed Utah their asses last year. Besides, you're the one that doesn't want to play BYU anymore because rivalry games can bite you in the ***, remember?
I should neg rep you for trying to get me in trouble! $50 a wrong pick... sheesh!

No, you have to name the teams. I said Utah won't lose more than 2 games. If I'm such a homer for saying that, then you must have a pretty good idea of 3 games Utah will lose. Name them (which you did) and we can bet.
I'm okay with betting you for name change, sig, or whatever. We can do that instead of money. And if you aren't comfortable naming the games Utah will lose, then we can go "double or nothing" on the BYU schedule with me picking 3 games BYU will lose. You have to pick BYU as one of the games that Utah will lose though, and I'll pick Utah as one of the games BYU will lose. You may think this gives me an advantage but BYU has a much crappier schedule than Utah. So me picking the same number of losses as you puts me at a disadvantage. And you think BYU has a pretty good chance of winning the game anyway, so no skin of your nose, right?
It would have worked out great for you, you have a possible $150 to pay if they go undefeated (yea right), and he could owe you up to $500 if they don't win a game. That's pretty good odds you will be earning some cash.
Of course I'm staying out of it, mainly I'm just laughing at Salty because Bordy makes him an offer, and he says basically "oh yea, I'll take it, but instead of doing it your way, do it my way". That is basically saying, no I will not take your offer.
By the way, I'm glad the U had a decent showing in their first year in the Pac 12. It shows that all the BCS team superiority garbage was just that, garbage.
Oh, Salty I can't take your offers based on my principles. You have cropped ears, and I will not be forced into this at the "point" of a weapon.
LOL Typical. If I have to pick the exact 3 games Utah loses YOU need to pick the exact 10 games they will win. You must have a pretty good idea of 2 games Utah will lose. Name them (which you haven't) and we can bet.
And forget BYU. I picked 3 games before even mentioning BYU. This is all about YOU making predictions about Utah and several of us saying you're wrong.

Not quite. I made the offer, and he basically told me no. You got it backwards.
We didn't need this season to tell us that. Of course, now that all the best non AQ teams joined BCS conferences, I think the BCS actually is on a higher level now.
