Nothing is really jumping out at me this week, so I will probably stick with my original plan and not play much for another week or two.  I put 1/2 unit on Texas -7 at BYU.  L

Tampa -3 L
Cincy +3 Push
Cleveland ML -120 L

On the year:
College
4-1  +1.5 units
NFL
0-2-1 -1 unit

I've intentionally kept my picks small and few until I build up a bit more data and get a better feel for the season.  I did poorly early in the season last year and closed really strong once I got a decent pool of data to sift through and search.  I'm trying to be patient and avoid digging too deep of a hole early.

This weekend:

Maryland -7
W. Kentucky -10
BC +14
V-Tech -7
Louisville -13.5

5 Dimes.  Deposit thru Western Union.  They pay for the money order.  If you deposit with a credit card they want a copy of drivers license and credit card, a recent utility bill and the last 4 of your Social.  Deposit Western Union and they require nothing.  My funds are in my account within minutes.

UA looks like we are on many of the same games.

Locking in:

Ball St. -3 -- 3*
Louisville -13 -- 3*
Maryland -7 -- 3*
Va Tech -7 -- 2*
BC +14 -- 1*
UCLA +4.5 -- 1*
Ole Miss +4.5 -- 1*

Going to wait to see if Tennessee gets an even larger spread and hope to take them at +28 or so.  I just think they are better than a 4TD dog.  Can see them losing by 3TDs but 4 for the talent on that team seems a little much for me.  Thoughts on that one?

DamonBoost

UA / Huckleberry, are you guys buying points on the Louisville line to get it to 13/13.5?  My book had it at 14.5..??

definitely looking at tamu.  the line is higher than I thought it would be and the home dog is getting no love.  also remember, this will be the first time for Saban's bama team to play at a&m - one of the best home field advantages in CFB.  That place will be rockin. 

Also everyone and their mom is on Bama, thinking of taking a&m myself

checkraiser88

Texas Tech +3
Louisville -13
Fresno State -9.5
Ole Miss +4.5

Thoughts?

Summary:

College 5-4 up 1.5 units

NFL   4-1-1 up 3 units

overall 9-5-1  up 4.5 units

I need to quit betting college, I always do much better on NFL.

I would be careful with OM. Texas destroyed them last season in Oxford. If Ash is playing, I would stay away. Plus, I could see a public fade on Texas this week after last which could make TX the more valuable side.

don't know anything about tech but do like Ole Miss +4.5 - think that program is in worse shape than many thought.  don't think a new DC will help.  Players may have checked out a bit.

62. Dangerous total. Great D vs. pretty bad D. Then you have two very capable offenses, one of which boasts the superior offensive athlete. Offensive minded Sumlin vs. defensive minded Saban. Gut says under due to Bama's D, but what if JF is the JF of last year? Couple that with an A&M D taking a drop off from last season, then I think you have your over. It's a crap shoot.

widespreadsooie

If Manziel plays up to snuff, over. If not, under.

Down last week but still in the black.

Looking at

Louis -13.5 
WKU -9.5 
Duke +8 
Tenn +27.5 
Bama -7.5 
Penn -5 
Ark -22 
Kent +37.5

Too much? :D

What are the chances this TN line gets pushed to thirty by kick off? That would be impossible to turn down.

Yep and possible. I think this is the last week of the freebies.  Lines will get smart after week 3.

I think Duke lost their starting qb, no?

For whatever reason, I love the under on the Bama/TAMU game

Tcu moves the ball much better with Boykin.  Many fans wanted him starting over the knucklehead even before the season and before he went down with an injury.

I don't lock in anything but 5* locks this early, typically. I like Georgia Tech, they hung 70 on Elon opening weekend, and had last weekend off. Duke was in a bit of a tough game last week, and they are going to be without their starting QB.

I don't see anything that would keep me from betting this, unless the line gets up over 10.

But for now, the only locks I have are

Ball St -3   5*

I for one enjoy your post, you remind me of my father lol..
It's just so hard to bet against Bama.  They were a workhorse for me last year..

I'm staying away from Bama and A&M betting wise but I will be rooting all dang day for Bama to dominate.

Ha, so true. My college days (mid-90's), someone would always screw w/ a buddy by pulling the power plug in the computer labs.

I use google docs for a non-profit board I'm on...auto saving as you type should have been around when I was in college.

Rock on Billy Jo!!!! Looks like some folks that know are dropping on Ball State.

I went ahead and grabbed NIU -28. Time to fade Paul Petrino and that terrible Idaho team.

Michigan -37/1 unit

Michigan will name the score, I'll go 56-6.

Fifth play of the week, and fifth favorite. Hate laying this much chalk, but feeling good about the card thus far.

Happens to everyone.  I had several horrible weeks last season, but in the end had a monster year. Just gotta turn it around.

I am keeping an eye on the Tulsa / OK under (if 49).  I am not sure those two teams combined can score 49.  Tulsa is horrible and OK is horrible and starting a new qb this week.

Watching TCU -3 and the over (if 70 or less)...

Watching UCLA +4 as well..

GA Tech I'd like if it moves to +7..

jkstock04

So far for this weekend I really like Ball St (-3.5) and Louisville (-14).

Louisville looks to easy of a bet to me...which usually means trouble. "Easy" or "obvious" bets rarely work out for me....lol for some reason Vegas usually knows their stuff.
Thanks for the F Shack.

I usually don't play this many parlays. 6 to 8 is the norm.
wk 1 Game time suspension of 6 aggie def players made me make new parlays.
wk 2 okie state not covering made me make new parlays again. Advantage to an early sat loss in parlays.

Just a note on the OK game, I live over here, so I hear all about OU.  Their starter is out and Bell is their backup, who is a Tebow type, but I wouldn't be surprised if you see their number 3 guy, Trayvon or something like that.  He was the favorite in early August and then got hurt, but is back this week.  Most think he has the best feet and arm of them all and will eventually take over the job. 

My point being, their QB being out will probably ignite their offense, he was actually pulled last week for performance and they found out later he was injured. 

Huckleberry Pig

think im done with my picks.  already have one or two more on the board than i'd like.  I stated them above but I'll recap...

Ball St -3   (3*)
