size said:For this weekend, one game I really like is BYU (-7.5).
Varies but I tend to be consistent unless something really stands out.Iron Warrior said:Good call size, do you tend to put most of your $$$ on one pick like me ?
size said:Tonite,
UAB @ SMU- In my opinion, this game should go over the mark at 48. Over the past few weeks, each offense is scoring and each defense is letting the opposition score. This indicates a mark of over the total 48
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:size said: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:
Indiana @ Minnesota, not Michigan St., I think that is a good play to look at as I think Indiana may win w/o points.WannaBeHulk said:BC -4 over wake forest
indiana +6 to michigan state
maryland +16 to clemson
georgia -7 over kentucky
arkansas -2 over south carolina
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.size said:Indiana @ Minnesota, not Michigan St., I think that is a good play to look at as I think Indiana may win w/o points.
Ark. -2 seems like a gift. My thoughts point to Ark, but not a play for me.
I think Ball State +35.5 @ Michigan is a good play. I imagine Michigan pulling players so no one gets hurt. Also, Michigan has only gone over 35 points twice this year, both were early games in the season.
Another game I am looking at is Kent State -14 @ Buffalo.
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.WannaBeHulk said:thanks for your input. any advice on virginia tech cause i think that looks really good. im starting to second guess myself on the georgia pick since the team always plays at their opponets level. kentucky is terrible though so its undecided as of now.
But which one sets you up for life ?Rogue Drone said:The NFL was Fatigue and Pain, College was Fun.
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.Iron Warrior said: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):size said:As I expected, WVU pass defense got exposed. WVU had no answer for Brohm.
Also, Kent St. -14 is a solid play.
Yes, sorry, I had it earlier as now the line has moved. Still looks solid to me. Buffalo is very bad.WannaBeHulk said:kent state -14? i see it at -16.
WannaBeHulk said:my other plays this week are indiana again on a straight wager with arkansas and BC. im thinking i might change my money bet from v tech to BC. havent gambled on v tech yet cause betting against miami makes me feel uncomfortable. they can be a threat to any team (also, any team can be a threat to them). both miami and georgia have a problem playing at their opponets level. im starting to like BC over wake more and mare. i caught this at -2.5!!!
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.WannaBeHulk said:looks good IW! my only disagreement is louisville over west virginia. im thinking louiville will win this.

p.s. - the over with OSU/ASU looks really solid. excellant choice! will definitely happen IF there arent any weather issues.
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 timeIron Warrior said:Damn you're right Hulk, stupid turn overs and un-special teams killed them.

P.S. the lock is money my friend, if not I go double or nothing next week and get it back, and some![]()
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.size said:Sorry about giving the Kent St. play. I thought it was one of the strongest plays this weekend.

We share the same feelings. I am still bothered by the result of that game.yankees3 said:I know alot about Buffalo and they are terrible. That game shouldn't have been close.
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.Iron Warrior said:Anyone think Indy -11.5 OVER Buffalo is a better lock then Denver -7 OVER Oakland ?
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.WannaBeHulk said: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.
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.Iron Warrior said: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 $$$ is atWannaBeHulk said:IW, i mostly do college football cause i enjoy watching it much more. ill do 1 or 2 pro bets but its just not as much fun. i gamble mostly for entertainment and if i win, then thats a bonus. what i should do is just follow your lock picks. for as long as i followed your "lock" choices, you are a perfect 4 for 4. keep it up!!!
The receiver play fvcking killed me. I'm a Cal fan. The QB for Cal (Longshore) played far worse then he was expected to. That's tough luck Hulk, most PAC-10 games are almost a guarantee to hit the over.WannaBeHulk said:all i needed was 5 more points from either cal or arizona in the last 12 minutes of the game. now cal had a play where a receiver caught the ball inside the 10 and fell down (not tackled, lost his balance) inside the 3 to make it 1st and goal. well, cal settles for a field goal. THEN, they put it in the end zone with 2 minutes remaining BUT the TD is overturned from the replay booth. 3 plays later, interception and game over:aargh: 1 more score would have given me over $1000. so close and in the end, i wind up with NOTHING from these plays:sad:
I do much better on college than pros. I find NFL to be much more difficult and my theory on this is that in the NFL teams are more evenly matched talent wise. Consequently, the more even dispersion of talent makes it more difficult to cap. I know most people find the opposite to be true(NFL easier to cap than college)Iron Warrior said:College is a little more fun to watch, but pro is where the $$$ is at![]()

yankees3 said: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 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.size said: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 have been riding these teams all year. Only betting these teams would have resulted in a 31-5 record thus far. Problem is, now more people are starting to see these trends and ride these teams. So lines are starting to get inflated. One thing I think is important to note, is that these teams are not the big name teams or big game teams. instead, they are teams that win and win often. They play in the WAC and the Mountain West both (great for betting in my mind).
