The later in a season the more relevance the above subject line has. When you have 2 very bad teams playing each other and one of them is spotting substantial points you have ONLY 2 choices. Pass the game or take the ugly dog.
NEVER spot substantial points with bad teams no matter who they are playing. First of all these teams have proven they do not know how to win let alone by a margin. Second an ugly dog has increased motivation when playing another bad team because this is a game they can actually compete in.
Remember the bets you make that feel the most uncomfortable while placing the bet usually are the best ones.
