I did a 5 game parlay today on the moneyline, picked

New England
Arizona
Atlanta
San Francisco
Houston

Seemed like really easy money, but man ATL and AZ really came down to the wire. Wow that was a lot of fun. Plus I pocked like $60, which is big money for me.

saw this bet and sounded like you were on a roll so i went with it, now regretting it haha.  still, if anyone can score quickly it's the giants, but their O Line has gotta step up in the 2nd half

Huckleberry Pig

lines are out... some i like so far:

Auburn (-10) vs Arkansas

West Virginia (+7) @ Texas  ::hornsdown::

Georgia (+3) @ S. Carolina

UL Monroe (-3.5) @ MTennSt




 

Huckleberry Pig

actually dont know about that ULM game, MTennSt had a pretty good showing against Georgia Tech...

Also Clemson (-10) vs Georgia Tech looks attractive

Kenny Dowell Loggains

Opening line for Auburn vs. Hogs is -10

Hogs haven't even come close to covering ONCE this entire season.

-41 vs. Jacksonville St. - Fail
-30.5 vs. La-Monroe - Fail
+20.5 vs. Alabama - Fail
-7 vs. Rutgers - Fail
+14 vs. A&M - Fail

Lock of the week.

makes me sick... but i just put $500 on auburn (-10).  i just dont see how we cover.  aubie has had two weeks to prepare and played a good game against LSU

bsking

Games I will definitely play:

Auburn -10
Oklahoma -4.5 (probably drop a lot on this one)
West Virginia +7
Clemson -10
Georgia +3 (Probably put several units here too)

WILL CLINTON

Just locked in

USC -13....1*
LSU -3....1*
Georgia +3....1*
Clemson -10....1*

I imagine there will be more and I will probably up the ante on almost all of these.
There is no sacred ground for the conquered.

Jeff "hogfanintx" Anderson

And of course neither team puts up many points last night.  Still a great day.

I'll be curious to see if the line moves on Aub/Ark.   My guess is that it will move to -12.5 by kickoff.  Just a guess. . . .

USC -12 @ Utah
Arkansas St +1 1/2 @ FIU

WOW
Good luck on the Auburn game.
You started the year betting 25 bucks and 5 weeks later you got 500 on one game. You must be having a good year.
SOOIE

Since I didn't post my pics ahead of time I'll just say I started awful and finished very strong. Ended up -44 bucks overall. I am now winless on Thursday night college games. Done betting those.

I am 7-2 on halftime college bets, 1-3 on NFL halftime bets.

the Jets game a few weeks ago was a big win for me, then this weekend I won all three of my big bets (posted my winnings somewhere above or a page before), acct is up to $900, started with $250.  that helps.

ed_wheeley

I did horribly on college games this weekend. I need to change my betting strategy AWAY from high-risk/high-reward parlays. I guess it's an attitude adjustment. I felt like risking $1 to win $30 was worth it, but try that 100 times and even if you're 90% correct you won't win anything. Gonna try some if-win bets this week.

For anyone keeping track of my picks last week, I took the points on Buffalo, Middle Tennessee State, Idaho, Colorado State, and Marshall.

I'll admit that I should've stayed away from Idaho... Didn't really do my research there. Regardless, I was 60% correct in games that most people don't care about, which I thought was kind of cool. MTSU upsetting GaTech was icing on the cake. I'll announce my "Ed's Boring Picks of the Week" later.

Against my best judgement, I bet on pro games this weekend. And somehow I quadrupled my money, completely making up for the losses I sustained on college games.

I will enjoy watching this game knowing that in at least some small way, you'll be cheering for Dallas tonight.  ;D

Ed, I'm not an expert. That being said, I'd just do a few parlays a week for small amounts. They're fun and will allow you to have something riding on more games throughout the weekend.

You're never really going to get ahead betting a bunch of parlays.

Lol isn't that the truth. Just hope one of Romo' good personalities shows up.  His game has many different ones. Never know when mr Hyde will show up.

I'm something like 2-9 in my last 11. Seeing Jeff come out of his funk makes me hopeful. So I'm on the cowboys at -3 hoping to get back on track


Cowboys -3.........L

Dear sweet fancy Moses. Makes me so glad I am and never have been a cow fan.  That damn Romo is bi polar I swear.

i can tell you that it is awful.  Born and raised Dallas, am back here now after my time at the UofA... have loved the Boys since I was a kid, I now wish I had chose another team to like.  You never know which cowboys team you will get.  Thats why I never bet them, they are the most bipolar team in the league

Dr. Starcs

Bryant gets the blame there. Should have broken off hot on the blitz.

Duke -2 at home against Virginia. UVA is 0-5 against the spread this season, and picking LaTech against them last week worked out. They lost against a WAC team at home, and Duke's only loss was against Stanford. I take Duke to cover this spread easily.

liking this too, thanks for the info ed!

Really like Houston Texans -9 @ New York Jets.  Jets will get creamed here, only reason the line is low is cause they are so popular. 

ed_wheeley

The only SEC matchups I'm comfortable picking are TXAM-Ole Miss and MissSt-Kentucky.
I know the Ark-TXAM line was an easy one, but I just can't confidently pick Auburn ATS. As bad as our defense is, their offense might be worse. That's a similar matchup to what we had with Rutgers, but the flipside of that was that Rutgers had a decent defense to lean on. Auburn doesn't have that defense. We'll be effective throwing the ball against them. I see this either as a close Auburn win, or a runaway Arkansas victory. It ultimately comes down to Kiehl Frazier and Knile Davis/Ark O-Line showing up. I'm not touching the game though.

DadVader1

I'm having trouble getting comfortable with the SEC line-up this week too, and stick mainly with SEC games, so probably won't do quite as much this week.  Here's what I've done so far:

Auburn -10 v. Hogs (8 units ... In hindsight, I'm wishing that I would have only done around 4 units for many of the reasons Ed outlined.  I still think our weaknesses are greater then Auburn's weaknesses, our coaches are worse than their coaches, and that our players are about at the point where they expect to lose.  I'll probably keep betting that the Hogs won't cover the spread, until they actually cover one.)

Florida (+3) v. LSU (4 units)(a coin toss, but I think FL may win this at home)
Missouri (-6.5) v. Vandy (2 units)(I may add more here later if it stays below 7)
SC (-1.5) v. Georgia (2 units)(a coin toss, but I'll take Spurrier at home over Richt on the road with two fairly evenly matched teams)

And I could be mistaken.   The line has moved the other direction and is as low as -8 1/2

Nobody's taking Utah +14 this Thursday night?

Night game, ESPN, @Utah.    Last year, Utah was only down 17-14 and was attempting a last second field goal which got blocked by USC.

I think this is going to be a defensive struggle . . and I am looking hard at the O/U which is 47 1/2.

DadVader1

I thought the same thing and wanted to lock it in at -10 before it grew to -12.5+.  This has the look and feel like Auburn fans are betting against Auburn at a slightly greater pace than Arkansas fans are betting against Arkansas.

I don't bet on West Coast games or Thursday games anymore. Anything associated with USC, Stanford, BYU, or Utah just hurts me.

DadVader, you brought up a valid point about coaching. We are definitely outcoached against Chizik. That's the first time that sentence has ever been said.

I'm having a bit of betters remorse as well, in that I wish I had only put about $250 to $300 instead of $500

My favorite pick of the week is Houston Texans (-9) @ New York Jets.  I just locked it in for $150 and if i win my auburn bet I will be putting more on it assuming the line is -10 or below.  Texans are built similar to the 49ers and the 49ers demolished NYJ this past weekend.  Now looks like santonio holmes wont play.  Jets have NO offense.  I don't see them scoring more than 10, and I think Houston puts up 30-40 easy.  Like I said, if I win my aubie bet, I will be loading up on this game!
