Dave,
If you are realistic with yourself, most games are not with the top teams. Many of my games are very average teams or no one is going to play college after they graduate. If you work enough games, that is going to be the case. Also many of the games you work where you think is going to be a barn burner, they end up being duds. Then the games you think will be very boring end up being the best games of the year. If sports were predictable it would not be so fun.
Peace
