    Looking to make a great first impression- PICKS

    Been betting for a while now and been reading these forums for the past few weeks, finally decided to sign up. Had a great week last week hoping to have another one. Haven't started off well, all I can say is F these week night games. Don't do most of my picks til Friday to get in on -105 Fridays on Sportsbook.
    Here we go:

    1.5 * Penn ST(-29) Joe Pa has his boys rolling and loves to light the scoreboard up. Should cover by the half.
    1.5 * BYU(-28) Look for Hall to put a lot of points on the board.. they want to hear some of the Heisman talk

    *** I usually don't like such high spreads, but I really like those two games.

    2 * THE U(-3) Maybe I'm biased being a Cane fan, but they are coming off a bye week and are still pissed about the Gator field goal at the end of the game. A&M is coming off an off week too, but lost to Ark ST and barely beat NM St. The Miami/Gator game was a lot closer than the final score looked.

    1 * Auburn(Under 37.5) I like this bet, but I still have a feeling it will be a higher scoring game than most people think. I just have to bet the way these two teams have been playing.

    1 * Mich St.(-9) Easy win for Mich St against an over rated team.

    Some ML bets I think I'll be making
    Miss St., SJ St
    -I really like the value of small bets for both of these on the ML

    Bets I like, just need to pull the trigger:
    Florida(-7.5), Georgia(-7), Texas(-29)- really like this one, just hate a lot of high point spread games, but after a postponed game, Texas should be ready to pounce to make sure no one has forgotten about them.

    Well GL this weekend to everyone, hopefully we all make a nice chunk of change.

    I've got the Canes on my BTP sheet, but that's really a sort of jinx bet since I'm a proud Fightin' Texas Aggie! Also like the Penn State pick, just don't have the cojones to lay much chalk this weekend after getting lucky on some 20+ point chalk plays last Saturday.

    Welcome to SBR and best of luck

    I'm with you on the Penn St. Historically Penn St usually rolls over Temple. I also like Texas, past experiences have me taking Texas against Rice all the time. I also like North Carolina, anytime a team goes from dog to favorite within a week always gains my interest, still haven't decided.

    GL

    I'm 2 units on that @ 46 I believe. I'm thinking of doubling it up....I think they should have 30-35 by half.

    I advise you not to use Sportsbook, you said you use that right?

    Been real busy past few days, haven't checked up on this. Yah I use Sportsbook, what don't you like about it? As of right now, I can't argue the -105 Fridays.

    Ended up only adding Florida and Texas then added LSU -2.5. I was running so well, should of kept it going just felt like not getting crazy greedy.

    Thanks Lout.. about to make my picks for this week, but won't be many, I've been busy this week and have a busy weekend.. I don't like to bet games that I won't be watching.

    They have a history of taking
    money from players.

    I know BetOnline has -105 all the time if you choose reduced juice at signup, pretty sure 5 dimes has some sort of reduced juice but never used them for football so not sure of the specifics. Both are much better outs than sportsbook though. GL with your wagers.

    Alright thanks a lot, I use to use Bodog, and took some time off to come back and not be able to deposit into Bodog. Found sportsbook because I was looking for a poker site.
    I'll look into 5dimes, know a lot of people on here use them.
