Absolutely. I know your method yields better results over the long-run than a schmuck like me trying to break down games. This is just an individual line I see as soft. We'll see

Interesting. What does that mean as far as what side the money is on? Vegasinsider has 84% on USCe if I am reading that right.

Nonetheless I said earlier I like USCe at less then a TD. I'm going to see if I can get -6.5 from my guy tomorrow.

One of the three public favs that I noted earlier in the thread that really scared me. Ended up taking Boise, wish I'd have gotten Vandy and the 7.

Just to add to the banter about LSU at the swamp...Sportsbook has that line sitting at LSU (-3) right now.

Just for shits and giggles I put $10 down on a 4 teamer.

LA Tech (+7)
took the under (62) in that one. (Nasty weather)
Bama (-14)
took the over (45.5) in that one.


Just a small bet for fun. Only part of that I'm truly concerned with is if Bama stumbles because of all the starters they lost on defense and can't cover, but I trust Saban can get his crew in order with an entire season to prepare. I'll be counting on a lot of Robinson's "back shoulder throws".

I think Michigan can get a quick score or two and will be in the game at halftime, if you are getting like Michigan +6 1h I would take that.

Boise is my favorite bet of the week, kinda reminds me of the Va Tech matchup from a few years back, both BSU and VT were better and more-hyped up that year, but I see a similar game where Chris Peterson will have his team in a position to win the game on the final possession, absolutely love getting 6.5 here.

Malzahn is still planning on runnng no huddle vs. Oregon. The over on that game is easy money.

Any chance we could get one of those free contests setup on covers.com to keep track of everyone's picks? Would be nice to see some of the MSB's finest's track record a few weeks into the season.

Think they will hit over 67.5?

Thanks. I would never put serious money on something like this, but I figure Bama will just manhandle the wolverines, score 30+ at least, michigan gets a filed goal or two early, then gets a couple scores. The more I think about it, the more likely it seems to happen. Could be wrong though.

Making parlays with not too much down for the prospect of winning a lot are a lot of fun. Mine always crash and burn real fast but it's fun while it lasts

Oregon and Nevada went for over 90. Arky State returns 3 players on defense and ranks 119/124 in percentage of returning tackles - their defense is so depleted it's almost in BSU territory.

Arky State returns the offensive POY in Aplin, Oku starts at RB, and they have two all Sun Belt WR.

The only thing that would stop this from hitting 67.5 is Oregon's defense lives up to it's hype and goes into shutdown mode even with the 3's. However, I gotta figure that we get up huge early, send out the 2's and 3's and the all sun belt players skill players will put up some points.

The other thing to consider is our #2 qb still thinks he is auditioning for a job.

Yeah it's free. I thoroughly enjoyed these threads last year. It would just be nice to have a reference point for those touting their picks each week.

I'm in for the covers.com thing to track but they don't have the lines I got so it could end up off. For example I nabbed Ga Tech +8 and the covers option is +7.5.

We'll try it out though.
