That guys rules for wagering. Not too bad. But I'm not as scared of road favorites as I once was

I like the tip on taking the points on an underdog in an identified "shootout"...especially when they can get up around 10 or higher

[aicdmb]

Yup. Going Patriots for survivor. Not changing

laying off USC/UNC, but I'm on record as liking the pts. Just think it's not a safe play with other games on the board. May actually add one too.

of course didn't add Ole Miss -3.5 (which would have covered) but I would've had a heart attack watching it so no worries.

disappointed in the UCF game; thought I had a good read based on some info locally but it turned out to be woefully inaccurate. However, if UCF doesn't drop passes they might have won 55-7


We'll get em later today and this weekend

Adding
Vandy +3.5

Tough play on Vandy - still think it was the right play

Every year I take a flier on a 1-AA team I think can win straight up. This year that game is on a Friday (and maybe a Saturday... more on that later)


North Dakota St +13.5. They have 3 wins vs d-1 opponents in the last 3 years.

I love it when a good plan comes together. Too bad I didn't have it as a ML



YTD 2-2

[Jake]

Ah... Week 1. A time where you can take advantage of some numbers if you've done your homework. Just remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint, so try not to get carried away week 1.


Toledo +23.5
Auburn -15.5
Western Kentucky +4.5

and a bonus game that I hypothetically got early in the week

LA Monroe +23.5


toughest decision was to take Toledo, the under, or both. I still think the U is a very safe play (55.5), but in case UF takes a punt back or 2, it could push it over. UF is very banged up and it's humid as fuck today, so players will be droppin'.




YTD 2-2

[Lee3691]

Good call on NDSU, wish I had gotten that one in on time

[Lee3691]

Alabama -21.5
LSU -4
Kent/West Kent 56u
Louisiana Mon +21.5
Nevada/UCLA 68u
Northwestern/Cal 60u

closer than what the final score indicated... a fumble return TD and a bomb turned a 2 pt game into a 14 pt gm. but still, Colorado played some great football and are much improved. CSU isn't bad either.

Florida St -11.5


I know, beware of the road favorite, but FSU is very good; love their QB.

I saw it as low as 10.5, sitting at 12.5 now.

[Razorback]

Dropped to 9.5 last night briefly.
Should be an easy cover

[dduncan6er]

I just got it at -10.5.

S.Carolina -6
Western Michigan +34
UMass +50 1/2
USC -15
Ohio +27
Florida St -4

Very good week on the teaser parlays. Took a hit on a few with Ohio getting crushed by Louisville but hit the ones that didn't have Ohio. Also used Northern Illinois +9, Bama -15, Clemson +9, WKU +11, and OKSt -6. Had a 10 teamer that had Ohio in it that I wish I would've hedged on Sunday since I hit the first 8. Fell asleep at the wheel though... If it would've gotten to the FSU game I would've hedged it for sure.

Should have regular plays posted for the NFL and CFB this weekend. Will likely keep teasing some since this past weekend was so good.
