Varies but I tend to be consistent unless something really stands out.
I hope you guys did not play this one. It has sucked. I am checking it online and I am totally surprised, 13 points total into the 4th quarter. Only hope is overtime, but these teams are so bad. Obviously my capping on this one was terrible as well :rasp:
it happens to the best of us. hey size, what games are you looking at this week? here are my favorites, tell me what ya think:
Indiana @ Minnesota, not Michigan St., I think that is a good play to look at as I think Indiana may win w/o points.
good point about michigan. i actually got burned last week betting on the over of the michigan/northwestern game over 42. NU usually allows many points to teams with lesser offenses so im not sure what happened although it was windy weather. besides that, almost all my other plays won.
I do not trust VTech or Miami so to me it is a no play. UGA would seem to be the smarter play in that game; as I feel they are better on both sides than UK is. Not a play for me though.
But which one sets you up for life ?
looks good IW! my only disagreement is louisville over west virginia. im thinking louiville will win this. WV only has a run game and the cardinals have one of the best rush defenses in the nation. their pass defense struggles but WV isnt a threat with the pass. louisville will put up many points with brohm back and i doubt WV will be able to hang. ive watched WV games and havent been impressed. plus home field advantage for louisville = big win. im just thinking out loud here but i feel strongly about this.First of all, thank you Patriots for funding my supplement habits for the next 3 months
My picks this week include
My lock is the OVER (49 points) in the Arizona St. & Oregon St. game. PAC-10 defenses are horrible this year, money in the bank !
other picks I like are
New England - 3 OVER Indianapolis
Denver + 2.5 OVER Pittsburgh
Atlanta -5 OVER Detroit
West Virginia +1 OVER Louisville
Nebraska -6 OVER Missouri
Arkansas -2.5 OVER South Carolina
The over in the USC & Stanford game (46.5)
The over in Minnesota & San Francisco (42) - The Vikings alone should put up 31
kent state -14? i see it at -16. i put them in the following parlay (i bought at least 1/2 point if not more on every game but i think its solid):
Yes, sorry, I had it earlier as now the line has moved. Still looks solid to me. Buffalo is very bad.
I rarely bet unless I have a bit of extra money going around, so take this with a grain of salt...but I would be careful with the ACC in conference matchups, they have been unpredictable this year. VT and miami will be a great game though, miami has been playing to the level of their opponents this year, and you never know if the VT of last week will be there, or the VT from the boston college game. I think that miami D might be able to give Ore a tough time, and if Glennon has to go to the air its bad news. I was at the VT-Miami game last year and it was a HUGE game for miami, starting qb and rb went down and they still won by a couple TDs, in Blacksburg no less, definitely a tough environment. I am babbling, gonna stop now, I would say just listen to size.
Damn you're right Hulk, stupid turn overs and un-special teams killed them. I expected WV to be more explosive and that was the reason I went with them because they had been lights out on a weekly basis. I simply overrated them.
DAMNIT!!! i transferred my funds from one sports gambling website to another one. my new gambling sportspage only lists over/under bets on select games and ASU/OSU is off so i cannot bet on it. my old sportsbook lists the over/under for that game at 47. im really missing out on this but if i transfer back now, the money wont be in my acct in timeDamn you're right Hulk, stupid turn overs and un-special teams killed them. I expected WV to be more explosive and that was the reason I went with them because they had been lights out on a weekly basis. I simply overrated them.
P.S. the lock is money my friend, if not I go double or nothing next week and get it back, and some
between BC, Indiana, and Kent state, i lost quite a bit. luckily, i had a 2 game parlay with arkansas and v tech which covered nicely and recovered some losses. tomorrow, ill be rooting for the falcons over detroit. if this happens ill only be down $100 for the week and lets not discuss what happens if this doesnt work out in my favor
dont worry about it at all. although it did influence my decision, i should have looked into the game myself. i need to to stick with what works for me which is the meaningful games in bigger conferences. i respect your opinion and dont want this to affect your advice on future picks. you have too much knowledge of college football and i like hearing your picks.
I know alot of people that thought the same thing. I hit Kent as soon as I saw it. I know a little about the MAC but I know alot about Buffalo and they are terrible. That game shouldn't have been close.
We share the same feelings. I am still bothered by the result of that game.
i would think that oakland will get shut out again. their offense is horendous and denvers D is top notch. their offense has been rolling lately but when they put up points, so do their oppenets. i dont wanna say anything about the other game cause i know nothing about buffalo except that they destroyed the packers last week. im curious to hear opinions on this.
I considered Indy -11.5 OVER Buffalo because the way the Colts have been playing and they have beaten elite teams on the road so Buffalo shouldn't pose much of threat even if they beat a weak Packers team. I'll go with Denver -7 OVER Oakland because I know how bad Oakland is and their win against Pittsburgh was a fluke. They won't get 6 turnovers against Denver or 2 defensive touochdowns like they did against Pittsburgh.
looks like he did a 7 point teaser play. i absolutely hate teasers cause 1 or more games will be far off from whats expected.Yankees: How the hell did you get Boise -7 OVER SJSU & USC-1 OVER Oregon? I could only get Boise at 13.5 & USC at -7 ! You gotta hook us up with the bookie
College is a little more fun to watch, but pro is where the $$$ is at
If Denver pulls through then I'll actually be 8-2 on my locks this year :dance: Last year I was 13-8 including the Post-Season. The hardest picks are the first 3 weeks and the last 3 weeks because many teams change their stripes at those points of the season. P.S. the Colts & Raiders games are a safe bet most of the time when you're in doubt
The receiver play fvcking killed me. I'm a Cal fan. The QB for Cal (Longshore) played far worse then he was expected to. That's tough luck Hulk, most PAC-10 games are almost a guarantee to hit the over.
I do much better on college than pros. I find NFL to be much more difficult and my theory on this is that in the NFL teams are more evenly matched talent wise. Consequently, the more even dispersion of talent makes it more difficult to cap. I know most people find the opposite to be true(NFL easier to cap than college)College is a little more fun to watch, but pro is where the $$$ is at
I hate betting the NFL. At least in college you'll get a few games each week that are easy to cap and teams that you can ride all year long (i.e Hawaii & BYU ). I'm laying off the NFL a bit (2 games a week tops) and concentrating on college (conference championships and bowl season are a few weeks away)
Hawaii and BYU ATS have been great, 7-1 for Hawaii and 9-1 for BYU. Here are two other teams that have been great ATS, Nevada at 9-1 and San Jose St(especially at home) 6-2.
i think BYU against UNM this week is pretty risky. for the record, i attend UNM, and i hate our football program but you never know which lobo team is gonna show up. we are very inconsistent.
