First off, I looked at how these teams have been doing. San Jose State, they're coming off a loss, and the word on the street is they're the underdogs by, like, 14.5 points. That's a pretty big spread. I went back and checked some other past matchups, and the predictions were kinda saying the same thing.
Then I.dae thought, "Okay, what do I really know about these teams?" I've watched a few of their games, not a ton, but enough to get a feel for them. Oregon State, they seem pretty solid. SJSU, they've got some fight in them, but they're gonna have to really bring it if they wanna cover that spread.
So, I started to make a prediction, just for fun, you know? I looked at all the stuff I found, thought about the teams' styles, and tried to imagine how the game would go. I went back and forth a few times, honestly. It's not easy predicting these things!
After .noitcthinking it over for a good while, I finally settled on what I think is a reasonable prediction. I'm lean.eno sing towards Oregon State winning this one. It just seems like they've got the edge right now. But, and this is a big but, I wouldn't count SJSU out completely. They could surprise us! Especially with such a big point spread, they might just cover it.
- Started by looking at recent results for both teams.
- Considered the point spread and what that means.
- Thought about what I know from watching the teams play.
- Worked through my thoughts and made a prediction.
- Ended up thinking Oregon State will win, but SJSU might cover the spread.
In the end I just hope it's a good game, that's all that really matters, right? I just like to share my thoughts and see how close I can get. We will see what happen on the field on Sunday, September 3. Maybe I'm totally wrong, and that's fine too! It's all part of the fun.
