We don't get to watch these games a lot anyway, wonder if I should start learning the game as a lot of promos missing out on just because I don't know all these sports:)
This is NCAA not the NFL, college football
From my understanding, a game is divided in 2 halves and 4 quarters just like in basketball and team can get points from scoring touchdowns, stopping the opposition from getting a touchdown and kicking the football up through the goalpost.
Decimal odds for Alabama winning were really low around 1.3x so I didn't bother betting in that game. The handicaps were decent though, sadly I forgot the number of points AH that Sportsbet was offering for Tide and Buckeyes.
I get that NCAA could be more "fun" according to some people because it is played with a tiny bit more amateur feeling by a lot of the players, I suppose most of them will not even be drafted to NFL, they are there just because they want to have fun and maybe got a scholarship so they can get an education and degree out of it at least, most teams do not have like 10 players who will go to nfl, maybe a few at most with exception of the top teams of the season.
However it also brings that amateur spirit in the game as well so a newcomer who wants to learn should watch NFL which (except steelers I suppose) plays a lot better and with a lot more talent so you see the pure game and not just people having fun. That way you can learn it a lot quicker, then can move on to ncaa if you want to.
