Despite all the jibba jabba up in here my only play so far for the first weekend is Ga Tech +8
Where did you get 8?

My volume is a lot lower than most of the guys on here though. Average for me is 3-5 NCAAF plays and 2-3 NFL plays per week.


Yeah.

I just checked my 2010 numbers for CFB with the updated methodology: 157 plays over 14 weeks.

The final tally was 94-63.

I just need it to be consistent year in and year out at that %.

Ahhh gotcha. 8 would have been nice. 7.5 isn't bad as I really like this bet

I ended up taking Ohio State (-21) over Miami of Ohio. I think Meyer will have his team very motivated and will put on the throttle.

Bought two points (-150) to get it to 21. Probably spent too much on the points but oh well. 10 units bet.

Locked in picks

UM +12.5 4*
USCe -7 4*
Washington State Over 24 2*

Tuel is a very good QB who was plagued with injuries last season. Him + Leach will be fun to watch. They averaged 322 yards per game with pretty much backup qb's. Wilson is a 6'4 wr who is a huge playmaker. Probably will be taking O 61 in the game as well.

Baylor -10.5 1*

Possible plays

Wash State BYU O 61
Wash State +13.5

Really like Wash State this season. Offense is going to be top 5 in country.

I'll probably end up on Michigan as well. Don't remember you but I like the way you think.



ETA - Other than the USCe pick.

Posted some already. My friend and I think some bigs are going to bump the line to 13-13.5 and it UM big.

A lot of newbies on defense and their first game is against one of the best play making QB's in the game. Just see a very low scoring game. Lots of UM 3-4 yard runs.

I gotcha. I wouldn't bet Bama at this current line. I do like the line I have, and would probably bet UM if I could get 14 to attempt the middle

I've been thinking wash st would score some points. Didn't realize their team total was up but was wanted to look into that.


Really really like that play

5dimes was aggressive with posting prop bets but they're taking their time with week 1 totals. Books can get hammered by posting a bad total.

Last year I would call them on some totals not posted and most of the time I was given it.

I was liking what he said about wazzou team total over 24.


I haven't seen that number so don't know where he got it from but I like that number a lot

That sounds like a great number for wazzou. I use Bovada right now and im gonna have to ask if they do team totals. Ive used them for years and never had any problems with them. Gonna have to see if they do team totals.

Just watched Frank Beamer on the ACC preview show and he doesn't sound too confident. When asked how he felt about opening up the season against Ga Tech he said, "It comes with some good and some bad." VA Tech always starts the season off weak every year even though they are a quality team. I am liking the Yellow Jackets more and more. The pressure seems like it is all on Logan to live up to the hype. He reminds me of a young Jamarcus Russel. Big dude and some good physical tools but not much going on upstairs.
