Alabama -12.5


I wish I had pulled the trigger on that. I still took them at (-14) though, along with the over (45.5)

I guess I may learn my first lesson in betting this week.

What's the general opinion on South Carolina at -6.5?

It almost sounds too good to be true. I've already got my wager for the weekend set, but I'm really tempted to put at least a little down on this, like $25 or $30.

Having issues with 5dimes this morning. Trying to deposit some money in there to start the season but it's saying transaction denied contact customer service. Called that number and the guy tells me it's something with my bank/my card. Call my bank to check for any kind of block on the charge b/c of a foreign company. No blocks on the account, card is still valid, money available. 5 dimes maintains that it's a bank issue, bank says it's 5 dimes...no bets for me

Anyone else had this happen?

Any of ya'll every do the fantasy matchups? For example sportsbook has these:

Team To Score Most Points:

South Car -.5 vs Michigan State +.5

Vandy +.5 vs Rice -.5

Washington St +1.5 vs Tennessee -1.5

Minnesota -4.5 vs NC State +4.5

UCLA +2.5 vs BYU -2.5

UNLV -.5 vs Boise St +.5

thoughts?

I LOVE USCe -6.5.

Already put some on them thinking about loading up with a little bit more.

Apparently Vandy is being touted as having a solid team this year with a decent coach who has ignited the team and it's fanbase (if you want to call it that). They think this every year though. I think I am going to stay away from this one, as I have a strange feeling Vandy may pull an upset and win and/or cover.

Where do you live? I know when I skimmed the stipulations for deposits there were certain states that you couldn't deposit from. Also, something about VISA...shows you how much I read

I think the safest play of the weekend is actually Michigan State (-7).

Boise loses four offensive lineman and their all-world QB. Michigan State returns one of the best front sevens in the country.

My book has USCe at -6. About to jump back in with u guys. Baseball, Olympic bball, and nba were kind to me this offseason. Usually i give all my football winnings back, but collected around 10 units and ready to roll.
good luck again this year everyone and lets break the books.

USC/Vandy over 45 - loss
Michigan +14
Colorado -6.5
50/300-LOSS

Minnesota -8.5- loss
Boise/Mich st over 46
OU -31
50/300-LOSS

Oakland As over 8 +100 - win
UCLA over 59.5 - win
BYU -12 win
50/310- WIN

Navy +15.5
LSU over 52 -hate it but all my buddies that are watchin the game have it and we're gonna root for the same thing. I see a 45-3 game.
Rutgers -20
50/300

I'm trying to stay away from Vandy. They have been touted all off season and the kids have bought into the system. Games at home on national TV on the first day of CFB of the new season.....


Needles to say, I won't be surprised if I pull the trigger on USCe minus the pts just to have action tonight.

Question for you guys.

I have Ohio State at -21, but it's at -150.

Should I bet Miami of Ohio at +24.5 to try to get the middle, or is that not worth it?

Thanks

I personally never do it. I'm not a fan. But that's just me

TN, weird thing is that I was able to use 5 dimes all last year without any issue.

I'm not quite buying into the vandy hype. Like Chem said I can see them keeping it close for 3 quarters and pulling away late

the media is the one pumping up vandy because they like their coach and aaron rodgers brother is the qb, usce beat them by 17 last year and their drunk arse qb threw 4 picks in that game. will be another easy w for usc imo

I'm thinking of taking Hawaii (+42)

Norm Chow may have a few tricks up his sleeve to score some TD's against a shallow USC defense.

I'm also thinking because of the lack of depth, Kiffin may pull starters early once they get ahead.

What you guys think about this one?

S Car down to -6. Public pounding S Car and the line dropping makes me think I am on the wrong side of this one....
