Yeah I don't think that Kent State is as capable of challenging our defense as UAB was. Defense lost focus for a quarter and surrendered 17 points to an offense that has some talent. I don't think Kent State is as big of a threat throwing the ball as UAB can be. Other than that one quarter, UAB couldn't move the football with a lot of success. I think LSU will cover that, worst case scenario, push it.

I see you have a "2" next to Oregon under the "upset" column and a "-42" next to Tennessee under the Margin Column.

Does this mean you think Tennessee should lose big against Oregon?

When you say "lower" rating, do you mean lower as in the smaller number or ranked lower as in a higher number.

Sorry if I'm being dense

No worries, I knew it would be confusing as shite. But Hole wanted to see so I tried to clean it up as much as I could. 1=Best 115=Worst

The way I generally use it is if the Underdog has a smaller number than the favorite its a real good thing. It was built strictly find underdogs that keep the game closer than it should be, I have found over using it for three years that teams that lack those qualities tend to be get upset more often. Hope that clears up the confusion.

Home Field is not in anyway factored into these numbers, I use them as a start and I break down games that pop out to me and try to compile advantages looking at other things such as home field, injuries, and situations.

Was does that mean for UCLA Nebraska then? You have UCLA as a huge favorite, but Nebraska has a low upset #. But Nebraska is favored...

Don't bet it.

Just kidding. I don't know anything about them either. New rule of thumb for my 2nd year of sports betting: Don't bet on games you know nothing about.

I tailed a LOT last year and it hurt me bad. Not saying TD can't pick games well, but I find if you're just picking and choosing tails based on little to no information (other than everyone else is on Team X), you're gonna have a bad time.

But eliminating this alone this year, I'm already exponentially better off than I was last year.

I did as well. Was driving for most of the game, but by the time I got to the bar and turned it on they were still within striking distance...until the qb's leg went the wrong way

Haven't had a lot of time to look, so the only things I'm on are WKU -9 and Bama -7 as of now.

If I can get Texas -2.5 w/o laying more than 10% vig I will be betting that
