Just got back. I was getting scores on the crawl on ESPN 2. Stupid Col St blew the lead. Wyoming won, which is cool. Anyway, 12 team draft, 19 rounds, and I had the #12 pick. Start 1,2,3,1,1,1

Went WR with my first 3 picks, which is scary for a guy that is used to going RB-RB every year. Lots of risk/reward RBs. But value is value, I guess. Anyway, back to scoreboard watching....

We don't want to rank your team. This is a college football thread. Thanks anyway.

You should have told me to TAKE IT TO THE HELP BORED!!!!!

[mikecass7 0]

quick question...I hit the first 2 of a (1) unit 3 team parlay. Do you guys hedge or do you usually let it ride. The last team is CAL -6.5, the line is currently Tenn +7.

 

 

What would you do? Hedge or go "all in"

Hedge. Make sure you turn a profit.

What the hell is up with Bodog?

The site is down.

Everything was fine a couple of days ago.

Did I loose my balance or is their site just down?

 

I just got an email that Bodog is down and they have a new website newbodog.com

 

I took my money out of all my online sites because of the scare last winter with the government. Do you think Bodog is the best site to use right now? IF not what site is everyone using to place there bets.

[thekris 0]

I've been using TheGreek.com for the past year or so. It's always been good to me. I've taken money out after hockey and basketball finals (only time unfortunately) and got paid no problem. $5 minimum on bets and they have a lot of prop bets which are kinda nice for football.

[GridIronAssassin#1 0]

Add plays:

2team7point teaser: California Even & New Mexico +3.5; 2 units

4 team moneyline parlay: California, New Mexico, Brewers, Cards; 1unit

[thekris 0]

I'm up for the day and hit a baseball parlay so adding Tenn +7 on a hunch.

[needmoremoney 0]

NCAAF YTD: 18-12-0 +5.5 units

NFL YTD: 0-0-0 0 units

Nice pick on BC philly. i wont even pretend that i know any thing about CFL. If you are ever in the Bay Area, I owe you dinner (lobster, prime rib, you name it).

 

Here are my picks for tomorrow...

 

WEST VIRGINIA/WEST MICHIGAN o56 2 units WIN

Too many key losses on defense for the Mountaineers. I am tempted to bet against public on W. Mich but cannot take a new QB this early in season, especially against WV's record ATS at home. Nevertheless, W. Mich should capitalize at least twice against a shaky D. Over is 7-1 in WV last 8 games on Turf. Over is 16-5 in WV last 21 home games. Over it is.

 

MARSHALL @ MIAMI FLORIDA -17.5 1 unit WIN

Marshall's special teams is going to give up at least a few quick FG's or scores. Their weak Def will not be able to stop the run of returning RB James. I worry about the half point, but still cannot find a reason to take Marshall against an underrated Miama FL D.

 

COLORADO ST +2.5 @ COLORADO 2 units LOSE

Lack of passing attack expected from Colorado again this year. Also, Colorado has been outscored in last quarter by more than 50% vs. opponents and also victim of 30+% more penalties. Colorado St will keep it close again this year and hopefully follow trend of underdog 10-1 ATS

 

TENNESSEE U @ CAL -6 2 units WIN

Revenge game at home against my Bears. Go Bears. I'm sure of it

 

GEORGIA TECH + 1.5@ NOTRE DAME 2 units WIN

I would not be suprised if ND does not break .500 this year. I am tempted to take moneyline here.

 

WAKE FOREST +6 @ BOSTON COLLEGE 2 units LOSE

I believe WF will surprise again and they are hungry to get respect against a formidable BC team. They will cause more penalties with their misdirections, hard counts, and a wiser returning QB. Note: BC RB not at full strenght with hamstring injury and loss of LB Francois.

 

BAYLOR @ TCU -21 2 units WIN

TCU has been a fav of mine for past two years and I'll continue to ride them against a perennial loser

 

CONNECTICUT -4.5 @ DUKE 1 unit WIN

ARIZONA/BYU u46.5 1 unit WIN

HOUSTON @ OREGON -16 1 unit WIN

2H BOSTON COLLEGE/WAKE FOREST o23.5 1 unit WIN

ARIZONA +3.5 1 unit LOSE

CENTRAL FLORIDA +7.5 1 unit WIN

CENTRAL MICHIGAN +7.5 1 unit LOSE

TOLEDO +6 1 unit LOSE

KANSAS STATE +13.5 1 unit WIN

2H BYU/ARIZONA u21.5 1 unit WIN

NEW MEX -3.5 1 unitLOSE

SAN JOSE ST +16.5 1 unitLOSE

2H NEW MEXICO -3 2 unitsLOSE

ARKANSAS ST/TEXAS o24 1 unit LOSE

TROY +9.5 1 unitLOSE LOSE

2H AUBURN/ KANSAS S. u21 2 units LOSE

1H CALIFORNIA -3.5 1 unit WIN

2H CALIFORNIA -2 2 units WIN

 

Added more ..following philly on later games.

 

I hate losing my larger plays....

[Hurricane Ditka 0]

I thought about hedging my last three games tonight since I am up 7 units. But its too early for that for me. Let it ride!!!

[dpollaro 0]

another close one in the missouri game......sloppy game

 

[Hurricane Ditka 0]

NCAA 0-0

NFL 9-8 (-.5 units)

I just played my first 3 games of the season.

 

LSU, I agree that the early line looks like a favorable play even with LSU on the road. Many are picking LSU to be in the national title game and this could be the early statement to back it up. I think other than USC this team has the most talent on both sides of the ball in the country.

Head to Head: LSU are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 meetings.

 

LSU -18 (2 units) WINNER

 

Even though Iowa State finished last in the Big 12 North last season I think they are going to come out, at home, a step ahead of Kent State.

78% of the public is betting on Iowa State right now.

 

Iowa State -3.5 (1 unit) LOSER

 

I have no idea why Oregon State is not ranked in the top 25 coming into the season this year. I am going to start my own Yvenson Bernard Heisman watch right here, right now. Right now 77% of the betting public is on Oregon State and you can put me with the majority. This game is at Oregon State as well. I like this game to go 33-21 Beavers.

 

Oregon State -7 (2 units) WINNER

 

I think I am going to go with a play based off of last season. UL-Monroe was terrible and finished the season with like 7 straight losses to some pathetic teams. Tulsa on the other hand has a pretty solid running game and this line doesn't really scare me off. Tulsa is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 road games.

 

Tulsa -3 (3 units) WINNER

 

I really like the over 40.5 between Virginia Tech and East Carolina. NOT because I think this will be a close game I just don't want to lay -28 on a defensive team. East Carolina's starting QB is suspended and their starter hasn't thrown a college pass and he is going to Va Tech against that Defense in that House??? I think the Hoakies will stomp a mudhole in their azzes and be in mop up by the 3rd quarter. I like the total points best in this game.

 

Va Tech/East Carolina over 40.5 (4 units) FOCKING LOSER

 

I like UAB on the road against Michigan State. Michigan State has always been a tough gamble as they have been so up and down. Scores and Odds has the game favoring the Spartans by 13 so the 21.5 line has some value. UAB could just win this game period in my opinion.

 

UAB +21.5 (1 unit) LOSER

 

I think Washington State is set up to get just WHACKED at Wisconsin. WASU is 0-5 in the last few season openers and they return a few starters on offense including QB Alex Brink. Wisconsin on the other hand has a ton of expectation. For 14 points at home for a top 10 preseason team in the country against a team picked to finish 8th or 9th in the Pac 10 there is value with the Badgers.

 

Wisconsin -14 (2 units) WINNER

 

I personally think that UCLA can score 1,000 points this Saturday against Stanford. Maybe even that figure is low. I also expect some creativity from Jim Harbaugh the first year coach at Stanford and I look for this to be a fun game for some reason. I will take the Ovah!

 

UCLA/Stanford over 46.5 (2 units) WINNER

 

I looked at the Oklahoma game and I see that the Sooners are going to be missing their tailback. I see 41 points being offered to take North Texas. Truelly, the Sooners should beat N.Texas by as many points as they want to. I just think 41 points is worth looking at for the first game of the season and will give it a go.

 

North Texas +41 (1 unit)

 

I am an Illini fan and I am excited about the future for them. Until they show that they can compete I just don't believe in them. That being sain Missourri is not that much better, but I think they are better. This would be one that I would love to see Juice prove me wrong on.

 

Missourri -4 (1 unit) WINNER

 

Not a Husker fan even at home. Not a believer in Callahan and their new QB Keller was up and down at ASU. That all being said Nevada has to replace Rowe but I have been a huge fan of their offensive system. The Huskers should win at home but I like the points and Nevada.

 

Nevada +21.5 (1 unit) LOSS

 

I am going to go with a home play here and take Notre Dame at home as my bookie has this game at -1 and I like that value versus Georgia Tech. I was going to wait and see what kind of team the Irish will be this year but I think the home team is worth 1 unit.

 

Notre Dame -1 (1 unit) LOSS

 

I was looking at New Mexico as a play early but the problem is I haven't found enough good information on El Paso. At -3 I like the preseason forecast enough on New Mexico to make a play here. Plus Philly backed it.

 

New Mexico -3 (2 units)

 

Finally, and I hope to not add any more games but I can't resist on this game. I hate interstate rivalry games but I have long been a fan of Colorado's coach and ScoresandOdds has the Buffaloes as 12 point side. I am going to make this my biggest play of the weekend.

 

Colorado -2.5 (4 units) WINNNNNEEERRRRR!!!!!!!!

 

This one is a group play. That Cal/Tenn game last year had me so ticked off that I didn't play another Cal game all year. Hoping for some redemtion of my own and since we are almost all on this game, why not. I am a degenerate anyway.

 

Cal -6.5 (2 units)

 

A buddy of mine said this was his "play" of the day. And since he loses everything he touches I am going to take the opposite side, so it is a 100% winner for me!!

 

Iowa -12.5 (half unit) WINNER

 

Miami -10 1st Half (2 units) WINNER

UCLA -10 1st Half (2 units) LOSER

West Virginia -14 1st Half (2 units) PUSHY

With just Cal, North Texas and New Mexico remaining I am looking at a solid first weekend.

Nice start for me today going 4-0 although Arkansas doesn't look good.

 

Anyone have thoughts on the USC game?

Tempted to take Idaho +50 (!!!) but Oklahoma is showing me why you don't discount the elite teams. I'll wait and see what Ditka thinks.

[Chronic Husker 85]

Doing another all-in with V. Tech-ECU Over 40.5. If it hits (PLEASE let it hit), I'll split the proceeds between the UCLA Over and N. Mexico.

I know you took a cash advance on your credit card to bet on UCLA and New Mexico, anyway.

[GiantsRule 0]

You'd know wrong. I don't take cash advances. You might want to mind your own business. You're not going to sway my behavior in either direction.

 

By the way, UCLA over hit easily; New Mexico pending.

Wow. Wish this was my card. Arkansas up by 20 in the 3rd looking like they might break that 22.5 point spread to make this card 100% winners.

Not a good start considering the game's not 2 minutes old.

[GridIronAssassin#1 0]

Yep, nice card mikecass7. I hope you win New Mexico, because I have them too. I think the majority of people on this board have New Mexico. I can't believe UTEP hits a 51 yard field goal. Down by 3.

[Bouve 0]

Just need Arkansas to hold on now. Up 26 with 6 minutes left.

[dpollaro 0]

anyone see the bogus INT in the Wake-BC game today

 

Wake was driving...skinner was being pressured so he tried throwing the ball out of the endzone...didnt make it out of endzone..bc guy dives has it in his hand and as soon as he comes down the ball is on the ground..clearly not a catch and the announcers agreed as well

 

refs looked at the play and confirmed it...i was so pissed.

[Bouve 0]

72 yard TD run by Troy with less then 1 minute left is going to cost me a perfect day.

[GiantsRule 0]

Missed chip shot FG. What a waste of a drive!

[GiantsRule 0]

Oh gee. Thanks for the fvcking field goal. I guess you only hit them when you're within 5 yards of the end zone.

 

N. Mex might win this but there isn't enough time on the clock to cover with drives like these:

 

1st-10, UNM17 D. Porterie incomplete pass to the right

2nd-10, UNM17 R. Ferguson rushed up the middle for 2 yard gain

3rd-8, UNM19 D. Porterie passed to M. Smith to the right for 8 yard gain
