Wow west Virginia is only giving Baylor 12.5? Baylor defense is terrible as evidenced by the ul Monroe game.

WVU defense isn't anything to be proud of either.

Out of curiosity on this system, do you use the lines that originally came out, or the one right before gametime?

DaBeerz, definitely post on Saturday your plays so we can track or tail them. Curious to see this deal in action.

Just get the final lines and pay attention to the 2nd half lines ASAP when they come out.

We can make a spread sheet with the initial lines and overs to start the game, then program it to where all we have to do is enter the 2nd half lines/totals for the same game, and have it do the math for us and come back with a "Make a play" or "No play here". Basically making it a three step process:

1) Enter new line
2) Enter new total
3) Make a decision based on what the spreadsheet says.

Stanford seems like a good play to me too. 7 points against a mediocre Washington team? Is it a trap because washington is at home?

Some others I noticed that I would like other opinions on

WV didnt cover vs Maryland. I think they will be pissed and playing at home vs Baylor. Baylor can score as well. i think WV can pull away in the 2nd half and cover the 13.5.

Tulane may be the worst team in college football. They cant run, cant pass, cant score, and cant tackle. 20 points seems like alot for ULM to cover, especially after 3 emotional games, but possible

What about Oregon State +3 vs Arizona? Arizona looked horrible, and oregon state has 2 good wins.

I'll link to the thread on Saturday, I have a 39 week preggers wife... No way I'm going to be able to track every game.

They will do all the math and picks on the covers forum for us

Dude I have a 5 month old. When they say get your sleep, they aren't lying. I took it for granted, and now I am regretting the hell out of it.

My first turns a year in October, and it is just now getting a little better, but he still wakes up at 4:45am...

But in all honesty, to the poster who's wife is expecting, you just get used to being tired after a few months and it's really not so bad. There are still days I wake up and I'm like why can't I just sleep for another 4 hours!!!
