UCLA +5.5 (I know they are not very good but OState is terrible)

Oklahoma State +4 (A toss up game to me so take the plus 4)

Ole Miss  +10 (I know they are bad but the bulldog linebackers are terrible and I mean TERRIBLE!  I think Georgia wins but plus 10 on the road is a tall order.)

LSU -6.5 (This one kinda scares me because LSU offense is so bad and WVU may be able to hit some big pass plays.  But I think the defensive line is the difference.  From what I have seen LSU has the best defensive line in the country.

FSU +3 (Another battle of a great defense against a great offense.  I thought that Auburn controlled Clemson until a few TO changed the game.  FSU offense was stalemated last week but CLemson DLine and Linebackers are nowhere near the speed of OU)

Arkansas +11 (I usually stay away from Arkansas games but this seems to good to be true.  I am the one who said arkansas only had a 25% chance of winning but I don't think alabama blows Arkansas out.  I could see a ten point win at most from bama.  I realize that Bama defense is great but their offense is not going to be able to score on Arkansas like the experts think they will.  Our defense is not great but they are good enough to stop an average offense.)

LIne is up to Florida St +2.5.  This is what makes me take a closer look at this game; the line started at Florida St -3, 71% of the money is coming in on the Seminoles, and yet the line is moving in Clemson's favor.

Also adding

Georgia -10....1*
As I said earlier, I would have made this my lock of the year at 6.5-7, and even at 10 I still think Georgia wins handily. 45-7 Dawgs

Should go this way, but if Bolden gets more carries than Crowell, I could see OM pulling this out.  Then again, I would be surprised if UGA's defense doesn't dramatically improve as the season goes on.  They have way too much talent, size, and seasoning to be a middling defense, as they have been.

I already played the hogs +12.5 with my guy.  4 units

I don't like fl st.  Clemson always has talent. Major talent.  With Clemson it's all a matter of avoiding the game where they simply no show.

I like the Irish for 5 units.

More to come.  Been a great year so far even with bumps along the way.

Probably playing byu-2 at home tonight.
Let's make some waves.

I played the money line on the Hogs to win.

Also 4-way parlayed the under in LSU game with
Georgia -10
Oregon -15
and SMU -22

Memphis may be the worst DI team in the past 3 or 4 years. 10x odds. Hope it pays off!

I ended up getting a few plays in early: UGA -6 (now -10) and Florida -11(now -17). Also took LSU -6, Nebraska -21, the WMU/Illinois over (53.5), OU -19, and Okie State +3.

Good luck to everyone on their investments!

I like UCF tonight.  Haven't decided if I'm going to make a play on the total yet.  Kind of like the OVER, but not sure if I'm going to pull the trigger.

Talk about a self destruction in the 2nd half....

I didn't end up taking the OVER, but I do have UCF.  This has been pitiful in the 2nd half.

SPAL

2.5 units on BYU at -1. Thank God for Reggie Fish

SixtySecondsOfPitino

UCF just gave the game away.   Even with great play from their backup QB, they squander it by allowing the kickoff return, dumbest muffed punt return I've seen, missed field goal, a fumble, and finally the late pick.  Simply gave the game away.

Love watching Tech's triple option.  UNC's defensive lined can't withstand that many runs.

Boardon Hamsay

I am really regretting not taking SMU to cover on the road. Oh well, they've burned me a few times so probably best to stay disciplined in the long run vs an hour of two of regret.

Got a dime on Hawaii but who knows.  Huge week if they covet.

Dear lord

-4 units on the Irish.

Won 4 units on Clemson

Won 10 units at Hawaii
Cleaned up on LSU


Horrible start but even better finish.
Let's make some waves.

Jeff "hogfanintx" Anderson

Well great week again so far let's try and keep it going.

Today I live Miami +2. Solid defense against Colt McCoy. Hillis is out and he helps take focus off colt. The phins at 0-2 it is a must win for then.

I know it's crazy but playing the giants +8 against Philly.

Riding that Detroit lions train and laying the points.  Lions-3 against the vikes.


Buffalo +7 at home against the pats.

More to follow.
Let's make some waves.

Got screwed on Toledo, shouldn't have trusted the Hogs, but other then that it was a good day. I like the Ravens -5.5 today.

Jeff "hogfanintx" Anderson

On ravens-7

Cards -3

Bears +4

Raiders +3

Steelers -10.5

A few below the radar games of interest this week:

Georgia Tech (4-0 ATS) -12 at NC State (0-4 ATS)
Navy (3-0 ATS) -3 at home against Air Force (0-3 ATS)
Ark State (4-0 ATS) -10.5 at W. Kentucky (1-2 ATS & 16-game home losing streak)

I'm also waiting on the Over for the Ark/A&M game.

GT looks really good this year..........really good despite turnovers.
Western Kentucky seems to be headed north just a little. 
I always stay away from games like Navy and Air Force. Too many unpredictable things can happen in games like that.

arkfanchip

I went 3-3 last week in college and 2-0 on NFL games.  The over on Oakland and Jets was my lock of the year. 

This week I love Navy -3 (Neither team is good at stopping the run but Navy did play a great game at south carolina and the game is at home.  Air Force gave up over 400 yards to Tenn. St. also)  I think it will be a high scoring game.  45-35

Auburn +10.5- This spread has me baffled.  I am as close to saying this is a 5* lock as I can be.  I know Auburn defense is terrible but so is South Carolina.  Georgia is very average this season and scored 42 offensive points and south carolina was +1 on turnovers.  Auburn may not win but it will be a shootout and will be close.  If you can get 10.5 I would jump on it today.

Clemson +7 (I listened to VA. Tech struggle to move the ball on Arkansas State.  And I watched them barely move the ball on East Carolina.  I think VA. Tech defense is very good but Clemson has playmakers on offense.  I really pay attention to the lines when I watch and I don't think VA. Tech will overpower clemson line enough.  I think VA. Tech will win a close game in the 20's.

The Clemson game is a coin flip to me.  You have one a good offense versus a good defense but that good defense is at home and that good offense hasn't left home yet. UCSE plus Lattimore plus Aubie's giving up 4.5 yards per carry spells trouble, maybe not 11 point win trouble but trouble.

Let's make some waves.

WILL CLINTON

For this week:

Bama -4....3*
I have no idea what people are seeing to jump on Florida so hard that they have pushed this line down from -6. I saw -6 as a gimme, and this is almost a lock. Florida probably get beat as bad as we did, but they will still lose by a TD+.

New Mexico St -2.5....1*
I don't see New Mexico beating much of anything, the spread, the team, the heat...nothing

Oklahoma -37.5....2*
After the close call last weekend, the Sooners are going to come out and try to have their starters sitting in the 2nd qtr after they put up about 50...this one isn't even close and if Ball St scores, I'll be amazed...unless its against the students that Oklahoma picks out of the crowd at halftime to finish the game. if OU will punish a conference rival 77-7, they may score 120.

Texas Tech -6.5....1*
I think kansas is overvalued because of the win last week against Miami, but Tommy T will be trying to get either the Ole Miss or Georgia HC for the rest of the year so as soon as this went under 7 I bit.

Ole Miss +3.5....3*
Everyone has been wondering which game Nutt bucks up and wins that he shouldn't. This game has that written all over it. They are underdogs to a "weaker" team from a weaker conference so Nutt even has the fire'em up ammo he will need after the game to break his arm patting his own back.



For the record, this thread has had some major win lately in picking, if I have the time after I study for my Philosophy exam, I may get a overall record going.

Jeff "hogfanintx" Anderson

That would be cool will.  If I can be of any help compiling numbers please let me know.  Question is do we use only picks that were posted before the games.  I think that would be the way to go.  I mean I posted 2 or 3 that I did not put up beforehand.  I don't think they should count because I could say anything after the fact.

Hope that made sense.  If not we can always take people's word for it. ;)

Lol joking I don't care how it's done.  I have had pretty decent numbers either way.

I wouldn't touch Ole Miss at all right now. I also wouldn't touch the New Mexico St. game either because NM just fired their coach and that can motivate players at times.  I haven't locked anything in yet but these are my current leans.  I haven't had a chance to update lines so they may be a tad off.

USF +2
Temple -7
Baylor -4.5
N. Illinois -10
Arizona +13.5
Washington +7
Alabama -4.5

I really want to play the Georgia Tech game at -11.5 but 96% of the public is on them and the line actually moved toward toward GT a half a point.  Seems like the books want people to take GT.

1-1-1 on saturday.

no plays on sunday.

Hit a big parlay on monday with the skins +3 and the under 45 total.

I really don't "like" either one, but the line started out at Pitt -3 and "the public" is on USF hard core, as in, moved the line 6 points in little under an hour. USF is also 2-5 in its last 7 vs Pitt...

There is no sacred ground for the conquered.

daprospecta

I was going to take USF last night but backed off because they don't play Pitt very well.  I have dwindled my leans down to Washington +10 and Arizona +13.5

Don't ask me why but I think that one point might crucial in this matchup.  I think Bama wins by 3
