Yup, it is mainly why I wait a week or so to make some plays.. even though the Oregon, NC State and 1st half LSU plays are so tempting

I really like Auburn this week. I also am strongly considering the over in the Wash St/ BYU game. Not sure how I feel about the Tenn game, probably stay away. Also plan on betting WV big and Oregon

Ohio State season win total 8.5

I normally only do 2-4 plays a week anyways, but nothing really sticks out for week 1 this year.

Im very interested in doing more "in-game" betting this season, so if anyone else does that let me know; wouldnt mind a little collaboration. its harder for the sportsbooks to get those lines correct so i believe a lot of potential profit is out there.

I started doing this a little last year and was pretty successful. I plan on doing it some more this year

let's get the rakes out this year. The majority of the MSB crushed the books during CFB last year. I'm really looking forward to solid contributions and active threads this year.


I'll vouch for RA.... He's the ONLY tout I would tail. I gave up on PhillyGodfather and So-money. My system works well and I really don't see the value in tailing these guys. I am still tempted to ride RA one season. RA is pricey, but I wouldn't mind a group buy any takers ?

I'll be playing lots of 1st half lines on big favorites playing at home. Also parlaying medium to big favorites on the moneyline. ND(might leave them out), WVU, Nebraska, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Rutgers, Ohio State may not pay off a lot, but it'll never pay off less than your wager. You can probably get even money at worst and they all just have to win.

SMS took Vandy +7 (-120). I am not betting this game. I think USCe will score late to win by 10 or so but I see it as a coin flip.

I wanted action tonight. 6 point tease, $20 risk to win $20:

SC(-.5) @ Vandy
UCLA @ Rice over 53.5

Good luck everyone

I really like USCe -6.5, their defensive line is very strong along with the running game. I feel like Latt could get as many as 20 carries in addition to a dual threat qb that can get 50+ yards rushing and ability to complete 60+%. I feel like SC will control TOP in a low scoring game.

Steven Garcia threw 4 ints last year in a 21-3 win.

I got USCe at -6 and put 2 units down. Looking at playing the Washington St BYU game tonight. More bets to come after some research.

Missed on some better lines, but here is what I have:

South Carolina -7
Ball State -3.5
UCF -23.5
Alabama -12.5
Ohio State -22.5
NC State +3.5
Duke -4
Virginia Tech -7

All for: $400/$363

Expecting 58% +/-2% over the year.

Are you guys going to do a MSB consensus heading into Thursday night games?


Reposting my plays from page 5.

Souf Cackalaka is now -6.5.
