Who ya got? Minnesota already killed a couple 3 team teasers for me, so eff them.

Georgia -29
PSU -6
Ohio State -26 1/2
West Virginia -25

Are my early games.

[Ragone]

I wouldn't touch psu at all... Way too unpredictable..

[Lathum]

I actually squeaked by with the over 52 in the ND-Navy game.

[B & B]

Arizona 2h is a good play. They will come back and beat Toledo.


I think you know I'm serious.

[Cuckoo]

Had a solid day yesterday. Wyoming and the points against Texas, West Virginia at -26, Iowa State ML and Notre Dame -14 1/2. Only loss was Michigan. I bought a point, thinking they could keep it within 2 TDs, but...

[Lathum]

I didn't have a great end to the day. I had the over on UW-SDS as well as Oregon -38 who mailed in the second half. I also had the under in the Bama game and over 62 in the USC game. Had a few wins with the under in the RU game and the over in Oregon, but not a great start.

Took Louisville -14 today, hoping KU is the same old same old and that a ranked Louisville team will come out with some juice.

[Bigsmooth]

Went big on the Seahawks in week 1 a week or so ago when they were still 1-point dogs. Figured they would be favorites by kickoff and that looks to be the case as they are -2.5 right now! That's a good sign although it's obviously not a sure thing with a rookie QB on the road....

[CU Tiger]

Bama, Clemson, Ohio, and OSU rang the cash register for me this weekend.
Want to play tonights game, but Im lost on where to go.
I think Logan Thomas is way over rated, and would like to slide money to GT, but Foster is focused on stopping the flex...I'm actually thinking the over is the play.

[Lathum]

I'm going the over tonight, seems the last few years I've taken under in early season Va Tech games and been burned

[Lathum]

Am I missing something or does the fact that the over/ under in the UW-Oregon game is 62.5 and down from 65.

[Lathum]

Some early games I like

Mich St -15 vs Indy
LSU-2.5 @ Fla
Ohio -14 vs Buff
Rutgers -7 vs UConn

[jbergey22]

Dolphins+3.5
Browns +8
Eagles +3.5

[Lathum]

Giants -8
Wash-Atl +51
GB-Indy +49
Ravens -6.5

[B & B]

Im all over Cleveland today.

NY might even need some Eli 4th Q magic to pull this one off.


Yes, I know that the Brown eyes are 0-4.

[Lathum]

Being a life long Giants fan this is the kind of game they dominate so that the fans get a false sense of who the team is. They did it against Carolina 2 weeks ago. they tend to look like world beaters against bottom feeders and average against better teams.

I'll be watching the game with Chris Ogbanayas brother so there should be some fun trash talking.

[jbergey22]

Good spot for Cleveland. 10 days to prepare needing a win. Giants coming off a a tough defeat with San Fran on deck.

Also, with the Giants defense if needed the Browns can get a late one for that backdoor cover.

[B & B]

LOL @ GIANTS

[jbergey22]

Detroit +3
KC +3
Raiders +6
Panthers -1

[B & B]

good gawd jbergey.

I feel your panther pain, as I had em on the ML also.


Hmmm, Squeelers are a pretty solid home dog play tonight if you can stomach the Leftwich. Even more so with all these 4:00 favorites looking good.

[Desnudo]

Steelers +3.5
+ to win straight up

Not a good week. Contrarian betting will result in this sometimes. Just wish I hadnt posted this joke of a day

[B & B]

im gonna continue here after that sweet Squeelers cover.


I like SF. I like CK as a QB and said so on these forums when he was drafted. Still not expecting all that much from him, but Campbell behind that bears OL with this SF defense is must see TV.

Lay it if you playit.

[Lathum]

Who is going to lose a ton of money betting the under 35. This guy is, thats who!

[Desnudo]

I almost took that bet - couldn't bear the pain of cheering for 17-10

[B & B]

4-6 Pitt at home over 9-1 Rutgers?


Oh, hell yes. FEAR THE PANTHER.

[Suicane75]

Bumpy Da Bump. Anyone got any insight into the illustrious Compass bowl between Ole Miss and Pitt? I've cleared all of Bovadas Bowlopoly and just have 2 games left. I know I'm on Notre Dame but I might not make the max wager since I also have to bet at least $100 on the Compass and I just don't have a clue which side to lean.

[Logan]

My only insight is that Pitt played a much, much better second half of the season than first. And Sunseri wouldn't recognize himself on tape if he was watching 2011 film.

[Suicane75]

Yeah, trying to look at it from all angles. Miss seems to have been impressive against some strong defenses while Pitts defense may be a bit overrated based on who they've played. It looks like it'll be a little wet but that shouldn't matter much with two run first teams.

[panerd]

$10 online squares. I hold Balt 4, SF 1. The announcers start to talk about running out the clock and taking a safety instead of punting. I realize this actually changes the score to something that seemed impossible minutes ago. Ravens take the safety and then win the game. $450 richer.

Later on I have a smaller bet on Flacco to win the MVP. Jacoby Jones standing by owner with the Lombardi trophy. I figure I lost this bet. Flacco named MVP. +$100

Add in Ravens money line bet, Alicia Keys over 128 seconds, Kapernick over 1/2 INT, Flacco +2 1/2 TD, first kickoff a touchback and my net for the night approx $900. Only bet I lost the whole night was Pitta first touchdown and that went through his hands. Not a bad night.
