Yeah LSU's performance vs ole miss at home has been pretty abysmal over the years. I really don't see much I like this week, especially with these strange lines in the SEC. It will be a small card week for me.

Last week was up 4-0-2 after day games and went 0-4 night games.

Already moved to Auburn -10 which I don't understand. Arkansas has proven they can score, putting up 30+ on Bama and Ole Piss. Even if Auburn wins I think Arky should keep it close


I was hoping that line would come in much lower, like to the tune of around 6.5 or so. I'd have taken Auburn. I think Auburn is sneaky good this year. But at 10? Uhh, I dunno. I agree that Arky should be able to keep it relatively close.

I ended up in the positive last week about $450.

Had tOSU lost outright it would have been a really really bad weekend for me. Thankfully I dodged that bullet.

Anyone like Penn St. +19.5 at home vs Ohio State?

Maybe a let down game for Ohio State after the big win last weekend at Wisconsin and Penn State will be fired up playing at night at home.



This spread pisses me off. I think it's about right, which means I'm not gonna touch it. I was hoping -- and, in fact, expecting -- it to come in closer to the -14 range, and I was gonna hammer tOSU. I don't see this as a vulnerable spot at all. They played poorly in spots and still won last weekend. I could see them potentially winning really big against the rhythmic slappers.

BUT....my trusty moneyline backup play is substantially less attractive now than it would have been at 14ish mark. I'm more disciplined with my ML plays than I used to be, and I should probably stick with that routine.

This Boise game is crazy. BYU is a covering machine. Staying far away.

Added ULL -6

Tex St has the #124 defense and #115 rushing defense. ULL has rolled them in prior years, and this game should get their O on track. Coach Hud and the players seem to be staying positive from what I've read. Good buy low spot on the Cajuns.

It's games like Boise which makes me want to quit betting. It should have been 28-0 Boise after the first half.

ULL is the best play of the weekend. They own TX State

I got

A&M +18.5
Arkansas +10
Wisconsin -2.5
Texas +3.5


I really like Texas. Kansas States QB is hurt and looked awful last week. I think they fight for Charlie's job.
