I'm fine riding with the public in week 1, on this particular game. Actually, on the Alabama game, too

That's fine, public sides win sometimes too. Have to cap the games for yourself

Fuuuuuck. So every year week 1 I place a 3 team $250 parlay to try and win my entry into the Supercontest. Last year it lost when the TCU kicker clanked a 29 TD FG off the upright at the end of the first half after ESPN flashed the graphic of him being the most accurate kicker in TCU history.

So I'm on Notre Dame -3.5 and Clemson -7 and have been looking for a third team and I finally just settled on over 59 in the TN-App St game and the line have jumped to 60 at the book I was going to. Which means this will be a 38-21 game. So now do I take the worse line across a somewhat key total # or do I wait for the lines to come out on these D1 vs FCS games and throw the best one of them in but risk Clemson going to 7.5?

Just be a homer and back LSU

It will make it a bigger high when they win

Or more reason to be put on suicide watch but that's why we love gambling

I was thinking earlier, do we have 5 or 6 of the guys who have been yearly regulars to this thread that would be interested in a little healthy competition. $100 year long wager contest 6 units wagered a week minimum of 3 picks. I think it would do the thread some good.
5 guys winner take all would be fine with me.

Betting trends tell ya anything about the Alabama USC game?


Sharps hit Bama at less than 10, public kept piling on at 10 and more. Books are definitely exposed to a Bama cover but it's a no play for me.

Took

ND -4
A&M -3
Clemson -8
FSU- 4.5

in a 4 game parlay.

Also put money on ND in a single game bet, I have a hard time seeing Texas keep up scoring wise.

I also really like LSU- 10.5, I think they win something like 31-10 but everyone knows if we are up big at the half Les and Co will play conservative

LSU should be under a TD 1h if you hold off until that opens
