Chances that we beat MTSU Saturday?

We will be able to run the ball, we may not be able to stop their qb though.

Would it be a toss up if we were to play Alabama?  

Yes, provided we tossed up a 100-sided die and 99 of the sides read, "Alabama Wins."

I guess the theory of both teams will have the same amount of players on the field from the opening kick to the final horn and everywhere in between. Oh, and of course we both start with the same amount of points at 0. So given that I would have to say it is 50/50. 

Hmmm.  I think most prognosticators consider more factors than that.  Maybe you can clue them in.

That is not exactly how it works.  Would you still say the chances of winning are even if say the Denver Broncos played a team from the Denton All Stars Youth League?

According to your logic, chances to win would be even for either team. 

Is it? Is it really?

We're playing a conference foe at home. Not Super Bowl Champs.

My point is that it isn't a 50/50 toss up and not every game is just because the score is zero when they begin and that there are only 2 teams playing.

 

They are better than us and arguably significantly better than us. We will have to really bring our best for it to be considered close to an even chance.  The odds are against us and rightfully so. I hope we beat those odds. But, it looks like a bigger mountain to climb than you may realize.

My guess is you two were required to take a statistics class for your degree...

Is there a 100,000 sided die?

There's a 100% chance that one team will score as much as, or more than the other team.

Way too soon to tell. 

Yeah.   Ask me again with about 5 seconds remaining in the 4th quarter, then I should be able to tell you with more certainty.

I guess it depends on whether we take out a third opponent QB.

I was going to bite my tongue on that one...glad I wasn't the only one thinking it.  WTF is up with Wheeler?!  Geez.  What a beast.  And I know he doesn't mean it, and is just trying to play tough ball, but dayum!
