I can provide totals and ATS records when I get home tonight.

That 12-9 is strictly NCAA. I don't take NFL serious enough, or make enough plays to care to keep up. I just dabble a little for Sunday fun.

Anyone know how one becomes a Vegas capper? I'm adding that to my list of unrealistic goals.

be really good at capping haha and I'm sure some great/detailed analyzing skills.  Also those guys devote their entire day to finding out information on these teams. 

You gonna watch the show "Money Talks" tomorrow night on CNBC?  About a big-time capper in Vegas, I can't wait to see it.

Most definitely. Thanks for the reminder.

Kind of like going to work for "The Company"  ... they find you, you don't find them.  If Jeff keeps killing it year after year, someone may make him an offer he can't refuse, he'll give up his day job, live in luxury, and we'll lose out on his experience, wisdom, and charm.   

And yes, I have that on my list of unrealistic goals too: slay the Rant ATS contest for a year or two, get "discovered," and spend my days watching football, playing with spreadsheets, and making it rain :)

I'm 6-1 the first 2 weeks of college football, only loss coming on Saturday when UTSA backdoor covered with that 4th and 6 completion for a TD against OK State.... Nice defense down the stretch Pokes!

Doing a 3 unit play tonight on Texans -5.5, think they win by 14. Also really liking Louisville -13.5 vs. Kentucky this weekend, and Bengals -6.5 vs. Steelers.

definitely like that bengals pick, Steelers are going to have major problems with the Bengals DL

Also considering taking the Boys straight up on the ML on the road against the Chiefs, currently a 2.5 point dog.

I still ain't getting a local or internet Toledo line are you boys and I owe one of you a paypal please mes me

Sportsbook has lines finally.

I wish I had some elaborate angle or line to a coach or at least a spreadsheet or something to point to why I like Ball St so much. Truth is, I don't. I honestly expected the line to be about -14. Army just got throttled at Ball St to the tune of 40-14, and Army would pound North Texas in my opinion. Sure it's at North Texas, but only giving up a FG is just free money to me. Also, and I'm sure I'll look like a fool now that I say it, I've always had REALLY good luck with Ball St and Bowling Green. Not just recently, but historically, for whatever reason.

TL;DR Its a gut thing.

Sir Pigs, I am always down to throw in a vote. Like the idea and thanks for selecting me. I would like to thank the academy....

Good Lord. I thought I bet a lot of games. But when you are hitting 66%, keep on picking. Hope it continues.

I hate betting on the NFL.  The teams are so inconsistent and the spreads are usually very solid for suckering people in. 

However, I find the o/u to be an easier pick in the NFL than in college.  Picked all the NFL games just for fun and am hitting at .500, but I've gone 12-2 on the o/u so far this week.

What are you guys' thoughts on playing money lines? Seems you guys do it in the NFL but not college.

I haven't dabbled in it much so just curious on how to bet it.

Great way to make good money if you have a sure upset and an easy way to make slow money on sure gavorites

If I wernt on this darn smartphone is explain more each football season I play a ton of big money sure mls and it covers my saeson potential loses in I took was ark wins over 4 games I het a lot will win a lil mone

If you a r e good at picking a pure upset then it's better than a weekly parlay I think
For instance I'll bet 20 bucks on money line Tulsa this week I reckon if it hits it's a ton of money but you got to know it likely won't hit



But you got to be careful ya ain't to smart I played a fairly big money line Texas would win the big Texas conference and I think I may not win that

Like philybtonitev for a unit I think 5dimes Philly +4

Ames me feel better I'd did exactly this in real life played the two games in this thread

I feel good about both picks on these games for us but I'm on a bad two week scid

jkstock04

Louisville line already moved to 14.5. Lol was 12.5 this morning. Am I crazy or does this look like taking candy from a baby?

A guy I know made a small fortune off betting against Kentucky all last year.
Thanks for the F Shack. 

Love,

Dirty Mike and the Boys

Taking chargers and redskins. Also same parlayed. All one unit.

Griffin/redskins look rusty.  Eagle's O looks SOLID.

Haven't been able to watch. Just turned on TV.  Considering I played the skins probably better I wasn't watching :)

If we're gonna go down, let's do so spectacularly, ha.

This Eagles' offense is great to watch.

I know most on here loved Ok State -27 (until we lost last minute), but do you feel the same for Louisville on the road against Kentucky? Lines hovering from -13.5 to 14.5 currently.

I think this could be the best play of the weekend.

I can provide totals and ATS records when I get home tonight.

ATS: 6-3
Totals: 6-4
Teases: 0-2

+2 less juice

Done with teasing, and although my ATS record is a half game better, I think I get a better feel for totals.

Can't figure out why this line is so low. Grabbed at 13, know some people who got it at 10. Probably take it up to 17.

Hooch

I had a late day.  I played the Eagles but didn't post so I won't count in my record.

like the Chargers and the over tonight going

San Diego "Super" Chargers +5.5 for 1 unit

Over 44.5 for 1 unit

widespreadsooie

AZ St. -5.5 for a unit

One unit on LOU, Ball, and two on Rice so far

Waiting to pull the trigger on on USA/WKU o54 and UTSA/Zona o64 once they're on my book. Looking at WIS/ASU o54 and I"m sure a few more will come to light by Friday.

if the texan local hype is right on this might be the easiest bet i make the hole year

Eh.
I am doing OK so far, but not hitting my magic number (70%).
Also, I need to stay away from the home team.

I was wise to consider SF/GB a pick but learned to stay away from the NFL quickly.
Some of you guys are good, but would lose a wad at the pool table.

Who cares about shooting pool?

I'd take USC and the points against BC.
And I LIKE BC.

UAstudent13

Well well... I'm not too confident right now in my 3 unit play on the Texans right now. Defense looks shaky.

I'm not trying to bust your chops, but I tentatively give you credit for 1 pick. In that game, you picked Georgia. Officially, you are 1-0.

I generously have you at 2-1. You posted an Arizona win and a parlay loss. You posted you liked Oregon big, but gave no spread . Big could have been 23 and failed to cover. I'm giving you credit for it.

Officially, you are 2-1

picking up Chargers +7 for the second half. why the frick not.

you do know it can be difficult for some to post every bet made on the weekend?

hell i had to call several of mine in saturday due to no fricking data signal at the stadium.

Well, I apologize I have not posted every pick I've made.

6-1 with:

Ark -10.5 vs. ULL week 1  - WIN
NW -5.5 vs. Cal week 1 - WIN
Fl State -10.5 vs. Pitt week 1  - WIN
Oregon -24 vs. Virginia week 2 - WIN
Oklahoma State -27.5 vs UTSA week 2 - LOSS
Arizona -11 vs. UNLV week 2 - WIN
Georgia -3 vs. South Carolina week 2 - WIN

Just letting you know - I certainly wouldn't lie about betting ha. I will work more towards posting my picks.

And correct, I missed a parlay pick. So 0-1 parlay, 6-2 overall you could say.

About to easily lose this Texans pick, pretty pathetic showing from them. About to move to 6-3.

Well I had a pretty horrible weekend.  When I get home this afternoon I will get my stats posted up here.

Last year I had two consecutive weeks like this.  Here is hoping that doesn't happen again this year.

Really nice weeks by some of you guys.  Keep smashing it Will!
