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?


Just curious do you use Whitney Bank.

I actually like the hawaii pick for the exact reasons you stated.

On tonight i would like to take usc becuase i think they will run the backup rb, who i think is a good back, down vandys throat. They play it safe and win by 10. Vandy would have to pass to win and i dont think they can protect rodgers. I sure as hell dont think this game is closer then 7.

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.


How is MSU going to score?

Washington State +13.5 (-105)

Michigan State is going to have a dominant defense this year. It will be a top 10 a possibly top 5 defense...like last year for LSU their defense is going to constantly put them in very good field position to score either TDs or FGs and might even score a TD themselves in this game.

With Boise's offense being so inexperienced, I think MSU defense is going to dominate the game. I don't think they score a ton, but I dont think that they will need to score a ton to cover 7 against Boise.

Just a warning, stay away from boise to open in the season. Not saying they are gonna cover but you are taking a large risk betting against them.

They have a history of starting new players against more talented teams and keeping t he game low scoring and close. I like msu alot but boise will stack the box, play the run, and make the new qb and wrs beat them.

Maybe im underestimating the coaching defections but i suggest laying off this game

i like the under 45.5 on the boise/msu game

MSU has a great defense and will just try to run the ball on offense, also boise losing tons of experience on offense

also like MSU -7, but under seems like a safer bet to me for this game

Love the under. I think boise plays this game like they did oregon a couple years ago. Msu relies heavly on run game and defense in this. I think the oregon game was moores first game too

This is what I was going to do, but line moved back to 7.

I will by the extra 1/2 point if I have to.

ETA:Line just dropped to -6.5.

I've got the same teaser as you. Going to be pissed if it's 34-17 and I didn't buy the half point because I was waiting on the line.

I still think the Ga Tech plus anything more than a TD is the best play this week. Ga Tech has 9 returning offensive starters. Va Tech has 2.

Running the football behind an above average offensive line?


Just so I could have some action, I took Cackalacky at -6.5 for just $20.

RAS is a handicapping service. They are about to release their plays for the weekend. Normally once they release to their subscribers, the lines on those games typically move due to the amount of action.
