Friday Night Football (Sep 15)

**TheGambler** · 09-15-06, 07:14 AM

I'm from the Kansas City area so I got to watch the Jayhawks play both games this year. Neither game has impressed me that much. Based on this and the fact that Toledo played Iowa State to a 3rd overtime, I would lean towards taking Toledo. However, they did not fare to well last week. If I was going to play the game, I would play the over 48 looking for both teams to put up points close to 30 each. I'm going with the Over 48 more than likely and will leave the game alone. The golden rule in college was "Never play on or against the Jayhawks" and I have held to that even 10 years later. Good luck to everyone!

Good advice guy, I will throw a few bucks on Toledo

Locals have way more of an edge than do guys that live in other areas, if it loses I will not feel bad though because solid info on game. The over is the play too.

why not, its the only game tonight....
i will put a couple of bucks on Kansas, at least i will have a reason to watch.

Hey TheGambler,

I live in Lawrence. Cool to hear a fellow poster in the area.

I like your rule on never playing on or against them. Any team I am at all close to usually makes sense.

**isetcap** · 09-15-06, 10:51 AM

I'll wait to hear from BBD before I pick a side on this one because he's always in good touch with the teams from this region.

TheGambler has me sold on the over.

**crackerjack** · 09-15-06, 11:18 AM

I think the over is probably a solid choice...although I think it will be close. I worry about Kansas putting up points on the board. Plus the line could be inflated. People look at Toledo's 45-43 score and tend to forget that was after three overtimes. I like Toledo myself in this one.

**TheGambler** · 09-15-06, 12:57 PM

Hey Lakerfan, I also live in Lawrence. I just said Kansas City b/c I figured not everyone would know where Lawrence was located. We need to get together some time and watch some of these games. Headed to Ziggy's and Max's tonight for the game. It is located in the old Tanner's building.

That would be the way I'd play this game.

**EBone** · 09-15-06, 02:07 PM

I capped this @ Toledo (-1). I think KU is the play and I'll concur with the OVER. I'll be playing both of these very small tonight.

The game jumped up to 5

**scottyy11** · 09-15-06, 03:18 PM

yep total upto 49 also......i wonder if people have last nights game in their minds aswell.

**moses millsap** · 09-15-06, 11:13 PM

Ouch. LOL.

**jjgold** · 09-16-06, 12:05 AM

Great calls Gambler!!

**TheGambler** · 09-16-06, 12:13 AM

Okay, so i'm a little intoxicated right now but still sober enough to type. I've been at a bar 6 hours now watching KU piss this game down their leg just like I thought they would. HOwever, I want to congratulate those that took the over 48 and those that were brave enough to bet on Toledo. I really thought my Hawks were going to pull it out in the end but obviously they need to learn how to hand off the ball during crunch time. JJ, I hope you played both plays (Over/Toledo) and cashed in even though Toledo was kind of a lucky bet. I only played the over as I had capped that both teams would score around 30. Like I said, I can't bet on or against KU so I just sat back and cheered for touchdowns!! Well I guess we will have to get our 6 wins by defeating Florida Atlantic, Okla St, Baylor and Kansas St.

**gummo** · 09-16-06, 12:19 AM

I think the Kansas qb completed more passes to Toledo players than the Toledo qb did lol.

ok I'm just bitter because I had KU +5 and on the moneyline.

**TheGambler** · 09-16-06, 12:25 AM

you should be bitter. i can't explain what the hell my freshman quarterback was doing. every other throw would look like a normal pass. however, the Jayhawk defense had about 5 opportunities to pick off passes as well but couldn't seem to hold on. that's what I would be working on come MOnday practice!!

Shake it off gummo. You seem to know your stuff, so just get em back tomorrow. I plan on doing so.

**pags11** · 09-16-06, 02:33 AM

what an unbelievable game that was...

**isetcap** · 09-16-06, 05:25 AM

The OVER was easy money. I knew I was OK when Toledo had 4th and 12 and decided to go for it before the half for the TD. Then they went for 2. I knew I was golden. Those two coaches make Friedgen look like Kate Moss.

The KU quarterback has a NFL type arm. His decision making will come along. Jayhawks backers should be happy to have this guy leading the team for a few years.

**pags11** · 09-18-06, 03:49 AM

yeah istecap, i like Meier, he's the brother of KSU's Dylan Meyer...he's got to cut down on the picks, but he's alright...
