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

And the other four?

Let a cow fan tell it and romo has never thrown an int that was his fault.

I just 10 point teased Auburn to 0, Clemson to 0, and Georgia to +12. Seems like an easy 100.

i'm not a huge romo fan, i think it's time for someone else.  and like i said, the other three were on Romo.  but when the ball hits a receiver in the hands and he misses the catch and then the ball pops 10ft into the air, i have a hard time blaming that on ANY quarterback. 


added a 5 team parlay ($32 to pay $810):

Auburn (-9.5) vs Arkansas

Mississippi St (-10) @ Kentucky

Northwestern (+3) @ Penn State

Duke (-1.5) vs Virginia

Houston Texans (-9) @ New York Jets

wager 100 to win 85 I believe. You have to 3 games for the 10 pt teaser unlike the two games for a 6 pt teaser.

Dallas LOLboys, led by Tony and his band of Romosexuals.

Sorry, it's a family joke. Aunt is from Dallas and gets lots of crap from us.

Dr. Starcs

2 were definitely his fault. He shares the blame on the other 3. Romo haters will blame him for all 5 when football just doesn't work that way.

Added Miss St -10 @ Kentucky (8 units)

Kentucky looked better than expected against SC, so I wasn't going to play this one at first.  With the KY qb being out and several of the leaders in the TD Rant ATS contest picking State, I decided to get off the fence.

Have I missed some bad news for Auburn or good news for Arkansas?  I haven't seen anything, but the line moved from -9.5 to -8 over lunch.

EDIT:  I found nothing newsworthy so added another 4 units on Auburn -8.

Just locked in

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


I imagine there will be more and I will probably up the ante on almost all of these.

Added:
TCU -7....2*
UCLA -2.5....2*
Pitt +1.5....2*


Upped Clemson to a 3*.  I figure this will last me through the weekend.

Will place mine tomorrow or sat morning.  Will I don't see how you are taking TCU -7.  I was thinking Iowa St +10 before tcu's qb wet out to dwi. Actually was looking for a cyclone win outright before that.

Then again maybe I have just lost my mind :)

nope. Auburn may be just as terrible as we are. Kiehl is possibly the worst qb in the SEC, so I don't trust either team enough to take their side.

I'm staying away from Arkansas-Auburn as well. If it were as obvious as Alabama -20.5, I'd be all over it, but Auburn is so bad that it's not worth it. There's a reasonable chance that Arkansas could win and I don't want to feel like I've lost something if we do.

You know more and are a better bettor than I, so I should shut-up now, but the OU/Tech game concerns me. OU has lost its last 3 games @ Tech -- OU teams that were superior to this year's team. At some point this season OU will get it together but looks so out of sorts thus far, on both sides of the ball.

I don't see many others on it with me so we'll see, but I frankly just don't think Tech is that good.  Night games in Lubbock scare me, 2:30 not so much.  Fact of the matter is OU outclasses them at most positions on the field, and I think OU's strengths/weaknesses match up well with them. I always take historical results out of it, and look at what they come to the field with this year. And let's be honest at this point Stoops has to want to make a statement going into the Texas game. They'll have no problem being fired up and got an extra week to prepare.

I dunno about everybody else, but whatever units I post I play, and I play them directly thru a casino in Nevada, occasionally one in AC. My unit play has drastically increased as this season has moved on.  This has been one of the wackiest in recent memory.  Took several weeks to get an actual read on many of these teams.

Most seasons you can ride highly ranked big spread favorites in the first two weeks and get yourself a great start. This year not so much.  Take USC for example.  You never know if they are gonna put 65 on the board or give up 65.  I did not bet them in the game with Utah.  Had I bet I would have won. On the flip side I would have lost had I played the in the Syracuse game.  The more info you get the more comfortable you are laying larger sums.

I hate everything about this game.  If ou's play continues as it has been I would say tech wins by 10.  At the same time I could see the Sooners winning this game by 40.  I still don't know who OU is not do I know who tech is

Several things we do know at this point.  USC, Michigan, Arkansas, Auburn, and several others were vastly overrated to start the year.  I love the Michigan play today.  They need to crush an undermanned Purdue team. 

We know this also.  Clemson it a line covering machine at this point.

No thought its because of the TCU qb being out because of dwi.  Game opened at Iowa st +10.  I thought te cyclones coul win outright even before the suspension of frogs qb, but I never bet games early. Sometimes it bites me in the ass, but other times it works out. Really applies to college more than pros for me.

I know online sites have frogs -7, but I'm not dealing with that sluggish payout system ever again.
