tease the ND game up 6 points and still bet the over bc last year they covered that by themselves


They've had lots of time to prepare for the option and usually that works (see Peach Bowl, 2008).

That would make Navy (+23)? Correct?

I was just talking shite about nd total. Dont do that. I made the same option point early in the thread. Off the top of my head a good game to throw in that tease would be maybe UF. Dot remember if that line would give u a good tease number tho.

I liked this a lot initially when you first posted a week ago, but a lot of sharp high dollar money has recently been coming in for Boise which is worth taking notice. Not trying to discourage either way.

What do you think about this 7 point teaser:

South Carolina -0.5 @ Vanderbilt
Texas A&M -0.5 @ Louisiana Tech

$50 to win $38.46.

Or is there more value taking a 6 point tease here..

I gotcha.

I just think they lost too much.

Plus, Michigan State should have one of the better defenses and pass rushes in the country.

They return 8/11 starters off of a defense that allowed 18.4 points per game (#10 nationally), 2.8 yards per carry (#7 nationally), 176.9 passing yards per game (#11 nationally), and 100.5 rushing yards per game (#9 nationally).

Perhaps the most impressive thing is their pass rush. They were 3rd in CFB last season with 45.0 sacks and 3rd in CFB (tied with LSU) with 106.0 TFL.

They return six defensive players who were named to an all Big Ten team.

Yep.

Lattimore is gonna play. Let's be honest here: Marcus Lattimore is a grown arse man.

I'm more worried about this one but A&M's depth should take over later in the game.

C'mon man, y'all need to chill. In all fairness, tebow was probably top 2 most successful guy in here last year in his documented plays. Can we not bash each other and use this thread as a tool to help each other out?

I am very high on MSU as well. My only Q is their new QB. But I am still trying to figure out why so many would be jumping on Boise side?...on the surface it doesnt make much sense.

pls, the gambling threads have gone on here long before you and your friends started contributing last season; several of us used to rape saturdays.

i am all about a variety opinions, as long as they are valuable. if you are going to comment on a game without any knowledge of the personnel i am absolutely going to call you out on your bulshit.

My plays for week 1 are:

Parlay USCe and TAMU both at -6.5.

Got MIchigan State at -6.5 I think.

And finally PSU -6. I don't care how much shot they went through it still them against The Ohio fricking Bobcats.

Despite all the jibba jabba up in here my only play so far for the first weekend is Ga Tech +8... Doubt I'll put anything in before next Wed/Thur. Like rocket said, we got some strange line moves going on.

I agree. The only other games i have in lock is Ohio St. I just think Urban Meyer will come out to make a statement and we all know what he can do with a athletic qb

I'm thinking about finally breaking down and signing up on Twitter just so I can keep up with some of the popular sharps. I know everyone like Somoneysports or whatever, but what are some of the other popular experts on Twitter?

Also, what is the official Twitter name of the SMS guy?
