OSU win total remains at 10.5 with heavy odds flipping from the over to the under. I'm staying away at 10.5



Made decent money Ohio State 1Q and 1H bets last season. Not feeling too confident in it now.

I'm gonna wait on the LSU line and see if drops any.

Is anybody interested in a handicapper contest involving 10-15 of the well known regulars in this thread? $50 or $100 entry you pick any 6 college games of the week ATS for a full season? It would be a lot of fun I know we have some strong opinions among us.


Im down. Good to be back

Same boat. Switching jobs and I doubt I will be able to put nearly as much time into it this year. But the entertainment value is what I get out of it.

Im thinking $50 for the first year.
I think 6 games a week (I would post the contest locked spreads on Wednesday around 2pm) and you would have a 10pm Friday deadline to get your picks in. You can use Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday night games as you wish. I would reserve a spot on the first page of the Week's betting thread each week to post the contest lines and the official contestants picks each week. We could use a fee holding website like League Safe or Tilt to hold everyones entry fee.
We could also have 1 game each week be your Lock of the Week worth 2 points instead of 1.

OH shite YEAH THE THREAD IS BACK.

I just placed a bunch of futures.

Saints SB
LSU NC
Fournette Heisman
Cooks OROY

Havent looked at lines yet and probably won't til next week. Otherwise I'll end up with 30-50 week 1 bets.

What odds did you get on Saints SB? I got 12-1 in Vegas back in June.

I don't think I've seen anyone mention UH -12 at home against UTSA.

UH beat UTSA last year at San Antonio by 31 points.

UTSA returns 19 starters from that team, but they aren't very good to begin with. Camaraderie can only take you so far.

Houston is going to have a pretty potent offense and they return 8 starters from a defense that led the nation with 43 turnovers in 2013.

UH is also opening up a brand new stadium this year and this will be the first game played in said stadium.

UH might win this game by 4 TDs.

I think its OU or nothing IMO. They have the takent to destroy LT. Just seems like to many what ifs for my taste


LT has NO coaching - none, nada, zero coaching. Take OU and give up the points.

I'm interested in this.

Not betting this year, but I can spare $50 to do some handicapping.
