Fair enough. You have any reason as to why the spread is at 29?


The spread is at 29 because Wazzu sucks. It is possible that maybe Oregon is a different team away from Autzen, but Wazzu just lost to Colorado who is equally awful. What I would be afraid of here is a backdoor cover by Wazzu in garbage time. The best bet here is probably going to be Oregon 1H actually.

The Mizzou bet seems tempting, but they will have to travel out of their timezone for the 2nd week in a row. I don't like when teams have to do that, let alone back to back weeks.

Right. Most would probably take Oregon at -29. WAZZU looks terrible on defense and their online will get raped.

I would probably not put money on Oregon. WAZZU might give up so many points so quickly that their first string offense will be going against our 3s and 4s. Chip doesn't care keeping the score low.

granted UCF is good this year, not just good for them.. but good

UCF always does work at home, but this should be more a PK than anything else.. the line is gonna drop quick

If it weren't for LSU I would have made good money.


I will honestly probably be betting some Ryder cup matchups this week.

Ok so here is the 2nd half system I've been tracking on covers... Not mine so don't shoot the messenger. Yesterday I went 4-2 testing it. As with any system you should use a flat bet and bet every play for it to be profitable in the long term. I also used it tonight for over 24 in pats game. Totals seem to work better than sides.... Possibly but need more data.

Yesterday it went 23-11-2 in CFB

Here is some stuff I copied to summarize:

System

You are looking for there to be a 10+ point difference or more between the expected and actual 2nd half lines as compared to the pure game total. The bigger the difference the better with 13 showing a superior statistical significance

You take who covered in the first half. If the favorite covered you take them again. If the underdog covers you take them. If the game is under you go under again and if the game goes over you go over in the 2H. Remember for their to be a 10 point or greater middle at the half, the game is way off the original line. Thus we look for that to continue. Maybe the favorite is far superior than they thought. Or maybe the underdOg is more competitive than they thought before the game started.

23-11-2 yesterday

Examples

Steelers@oakland
Full Game odds were Steelers -3.5 and 45
At the half, steelers 17-14
2H lines should be Oakland +.5 and 14
2H lines are Oakland +1.5 and 22.5
Thus we have
NO PLAYS!!!

Houston@denver
Full Game odds were Houston -1.5 and 43.5
At the half, Houston 21-11
2H lines should be Houston +8.5 and 11.5
2H lines are Houston Pk and 22
Thus we have over 22

I love LSU but I won a hell of a lot on auburn and under, there is nothing wrong with taking points when it's clear a team is giving too many

So the Mighty FSU was 14pt favs at home to a highly ranked Clemson team and now they are only a 14pt road Fav against USF?


That sure doesn't seem like a trap

The announcers were talking about that (to an extent, obviously not about the future line) last night when the game nearly over.

Emotional win at home, in the lights, against a top 15 team and now you have to go on the road feeling invincible. On paper (and in my mind) FSU should beat the dog shite out of USF, but I also thought a lot of things yesterday that went the complete opposite way.

I still think FSU will cover but I don't think it will be as easy as people are thinking. FSU just scores to many points and has a solid d

BJ Daniels might beat FSU again
They always lay a dud and that game reeks of a trap in the spreads only 14
