    Ouch!

    Really would have rather not seen you on Mississippi St.

    Good luck with the card all the same.

    Hey Martin! Looking at your picks and I can say that I am with you totally on Iowa State. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if they win the game outright. Like Wal said, I wish I saw you on the other side of the Mississippis State game but I can understand why you went that way and tip my hat to you for going that way. Honestly, never gave the Temple game much thought and I see Iowa covering easily. BOL to you buddy!

    Iowa-3 MONEY! Kirksey is the real deal, but they sure lack a great D like some of their other teams. Pitt sucks. LSU wins, but by how many I do not know...

    Really liked Iowa State last night, and they came through.

    5-4-1 on the season.

    Temple and Iowa to come.

    Yeah, said I wouldn't be surprised if Iowa State won it outright and even though it didn't look like it in the first half, they got their act together and came through for us!

    Nice pick! Talk to me in three months when basketball season gets underway and I'll be all over Temple.

    60% ATS? Time to quit. Clearly you are very bad at picking ATS

    Clearly 60% sucks. But at least I have the stones to make an ATS wager. I don't have to buy points and hide in teasers, now do I?

    Time to quit? It is a marathon...not a sprint. Maybe he doesn't get into "God Mode" until week 4. Do football teams that start out 4-2 give up just because they are at 60% (I know that 4-2 is actually 66.66% but you get my meaning)? Nope. Keep up the picks Martin.

    Martin I would have been as you should be very happy with 6-4 this weekend. I sucked and limped in with a 5-5 weekend.

    why would he quit while hitting 60%? that's a solid win percentage. Especially if he can sustain it over the season which will lead to a solid profit.

    I hope everyone is killing their respective book.

    I am 6-4-2 on the season. Bad line shopping cost me the Iowa game. I was convinced it was heading north of 4, only to see it drop to 3 by gametime.

    This week I waited some.

    Pick #13. Georgia -9.5

    Pick #14. Army -4

    Pick #15. Clemson -2.5

    Pick #16. Arizona State -2.5

    As always, good luck to everyone!

    Florida States backup looks atrocious. I have no clue about USC, but I like ASU myself.

    Good luck Martin. I very much like the Georgia game.

    I differ on the FSU game even without Manuel under center but I can't say I have anything other than speculation as reasoning which as you well know can be very suspect. I have no action on the game though so while I can think FSU, I can wish you good luck with that play as well.

    GL Martin. I am with you on the Clemson game but I am going to wait a bit longer. My book had it at -1.5 just yesterday with still 74% of the bets on Florida State. I may give it until Friday Night to see what happens but if it goes to 3 I will have to grab it.

    If there is a positive about this season, I have yet to have a losing weekend.

    I looked at my Army play----and that was simply the wrong side. I am not about to say that I had the right side on that play, or the SD State play----I simply didn't adjust my pr numbers. That's on me, the linemakers beat me up on those two.

    Pitt jumped to 2 a 5d.
    Gl on your plays. After looking over early lines, I don't feel like pulling the trigger on any games. Think I may take the week off.

    Pitt may warrant my ML play. I like the spot for them.

    Good luck this week CCI---sometimes taking a week off refuels the batteries.

    Good work here so far, Marty.

    I think anyone but our pal SSK would be very pleased with your results to date. Clearly he sets a bar that is simply unattainable for most of us.

    How's your brother-in-law doing? Still killing it??

    Thanks Op---the Goddess of Luck bit his ass this weekend.

    He had Toledo +2.5---and that whole extra point fiasco with Syracuse beat him, and today he had New England.

    Oh, you will appreciate this argument we had---it highlights his stupidity. He tried telling me that the current Eagles roster (he is an Eagles fan)-----has better WRs---than the 70's Cowboys with Drew Pearson, Golden Richards, Butch Johnson, Tony Hill------and that is excluding Billy Jo Dupree as our TE. He told me, "Golden Richards played for the Redskins"-----Oyyy.

    Blasphemer!

    As I've said before.....I have a bro-in-law who sounds eerily similar to this one.

    Good luck, pal.
