š Do or Die: Championship Weekend
Let the (football) Hunger Games begin.....
Hey BettrNation family! The time has come. Championship weekend is here in college football, and with the expansion of the CFP this year, each game can impact the playoff picture. With teams vying for just 1ļøā£2ļøā£ playoff spots (not to mention home games and first round byes), every game is a high-stakes showdown with national championship implications. If this weekend is anything like the regular season, we are certainly in for some drama and controversy, including on Sunday night when the CFP field is announced!! š Depending on how everything shakes out with the CFP Committee, we may find out if it really is better to not be in a conference championship, lest you lose and drop in the rankings! (Looking at you, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Indiana, and Alabama š )
Meanwhile, the NFL season is heating š„ up as teams are starting to solidify their positions for the playoffs. Division titles are on the line, and every win is essential as squads jockey for playoff positioning. With that said, for every team battling for their playoff lives, there are teams like the Giants, Jaguars and Jets, who just want this nightmare of a season to be over š (Candidly, as a Jags fan, I wouldnāt mind fast-forwarding until we are relevant again, although that might not be until 2050 at this rate š¢)
Hereās to hoping our favorite teams (and our bets) win!! Most importantly, remember:
Donāt Gamble. Bet Bettr!
