[mkracier]

[BayArea888]

FSU -3 *pending
OK State +115 *pending
Cougars -1.5 *pending

And also Vanderbilt +14 right?

[JayDr3am]

yeah guys my fault about fsu. i thought those losers would whip into shape. were still capping nights young still

[JayDr3am]

addition:

ending the night with this and getting ready for NFL

Utah +4.5 -110

reasons why i love utah here. 1.washingtons defense is suspect. 2. jake browning in primetime i have never seen him show up for the moment. hes a great qb but i dont like washington/him in these moments.

utah will play top tier defense majority of the game and doesnt have tendencies of turning the ball over.. utah just needs to punch in their red zone appearances we'll be ok

[JayDr3am]

FSU -3 L
OK State +115 *pending
Cougars -1.5 *pending
vanderbilt +14* W

[JayDr3am]

addition:

vanderbilt +14 -110

im reading articles where brian kelly notre head coach was quoted saying " i just want to win games, im not about style points". all this meant to me is that he doesnt mind winning a game 9-3.

he doesnt mind doing just enough to get by.. their first 2 games they beat 2 horrible teams by single digit points. vanderbilt even turns 25% of their red zone appearances to points we will be fine. they have the talent to make this interesting

this game coming in salvaged the day if we can bring oklahoma state, cougars, then top off with utah

[JayDr3am]

FSU is so ass

[BayArea888]

Need the Cougars to get some stops though for real.

[JayDr3am]

nah its an L. too many bad possessions

[JayDr3am]

FSU -3 L
OK State +115 W
Cougars -1.5 L
vanderbilt +14* W
Utah +4.5 *pending

up down up down. lets see if we can end on a good note

[johnnyvegas13]

I might take utes at some point if tcu wins

[JayDr3am]

im genuinely surprised at how ass fsu is. this is game where they were weaker team 90% of the game. makes no sense. syracuse had many of chances to make this game 24 or 28 zip at half. jimbo wouldnt have let this happen. just shows how important he was as a mind. taggart calls a come back play in the red zone with 3 seconds left and no timeouts. WHAT.

[JayDr3am]

its the lights vegas. washington on the road laying this many seem to easy.

NCAA 5-5

addition:

Illinois +28.5 -110

illinois is quietly playing top tier defense.. i say this everytime. REDZONE OPPORTUNITIES. college players screw these up the most. head coaches as well. but if illinois can turn just a few redzone opportunities into points and make a few key stops were in this game till the end.

no ones scored over 25 on them. this defense kept a high powered south florida offense to 25 lousy points and 7 1H points. thats huge. when we know USF is known to drop 40-50 pts.. illinois defense almost won them that game outright..

that speaks volumes about illinois defense.. their at home.. i trust them to not let it get out of hand. and this is by far the biggest favorite on a friday night. gimme the 29 and a beer.

[JayDr3am]

i feel like this is an app state week 1 situation.. where penn state is a huuge favorite in a very sweaty moment but they barely slide by in the last moments and get the W.. GL on your action

[The Horse]

Love the home dog on a weekday angle plus Penn State is looking ahead to Ohio State next week

[BigdaddyQH]

So you really expect a team that is easily the worst in the Big 10 to cover 29 points against a team averaging over 50 points a week. Pitt, who is obviously much better than Illinois, got scorched to the tune of 51-6 at home against Penn State. For you guys who love to lose your money on "look ahead" games, the team who is "looking ahead" covers more than their opponents. Either play Penn State or pass.

[Louisvillekid1]

Rutgers is the worst team in B10

great points Q but idk my guy.. the look ahead angle was a small insignifcant part in making this play.. i didnt even mention it in the write up..

if this game was on a saturday with no lights the entire analysis/read would be different on it.. agree? i believe there, its penn or pass. but on a friday night.. on the road.. in a hostile enviroment.. hmmm

we've both seen weird things happen in these moments. other small things like penn state being 3-7 ATS in its last 10 against illinois and the games going under the total 4/5 meetings just feeds into my spiel about this illinois defense..

let me stop trying to sound all professional and shit man. i just think its too many points on a friday night, on the road. simple.

you beat me to it.. rutgers is ass and is easily the worst in b10

i like it too man obviously not everyone will agree but i handicap and search for these spots. just have to understand what youre getting yourself into. GL on your action loui, Q and horse

addition:

Texas +3 -105

its crazy. Herman (former U of H cougar head coach) as an underdog is an historical stat. going back to last season i have won and won again with this stat. i forgot hermans actual numbers but its remarkable.

everytime oddmakers have doubted him he shows up and shows out. last week went down to USC 14-3 in the 1Q, came back and went on a 37pt roll and kept USC t scoreless the rest of the game.. TCU is coming off of a decent size beating from ohio state now they are suppose to go on the road to texas and win? GL

[JayDr3am]

addition:

Vanderbilt +2 -110

this & the texas play is my favorite plays on the board. simple.

i really like how vandy played @ notre dame last week.. horrible 1st half then finished strong in the 2H making it close.. had every opportunity in the world to win that game outright.. i see that same 2H energy rolling into this game.

i dont see them getting off to the same slow start @ home..

this is a hostile enviroment for south carolina to come into especially after their last week game was cancelled due to hurricane Florence.. not necessarily rust, but thats time they arent playing.. so theres a big possibility they could walk into Tennessee shook and get smacked upside the head. i just cant trust South carolina on the road. Vandy outright. GL

Let me help you out my friend.

Herman is on an absolute goofy run as an underdog.

He is 9-0 as a dog ATS, and get this-- 6 of those games he won straight up.

2017

Texas (+15.5) v. USC 24-27
Texas (+9) v. Oklahoma 24-29
Texas (+7) v. Oklahoma State 10-13
Texas (+3.5) v. West Virginia 28-14
Texas (+3) v. Missouri 33-16

2016

Houston (+12) v Oklahoma 33-23
Houston (+14.5) v. Louisville 36-10

2015

Houston (+13.5) v. Louisville 34-31
Houston (+3) v. Navy 52-31

Jay-- I hate to beat a dead horse, but you may have seen me drum this home on this board.

But your pick of Vandy +2. Yeah, you are absolutely letting money on the table. You can still get Vandy on the ML at +110 and +120, the odds the game lands on South Carolina winning by just 1 or 2 points is so small, the odds are overwhelming in your favor to bet the ML.

And the truth is- you can even say the same for that Texas line. I understand the safety of the 3, but again, the odds of the game landing on that number are just too small to not play the ML.

Good luck to you! Hope you cash them.

You are one of the few guys on the board that wants to discuss betting without getting pissed off.

As for me, I always welcomed guys telling me, or giving me other ways of looking at things. If we all want to win, it only makes sense to discuss.

you respectfully gave me insight which will in the end help my capping.. (its 2 things i already knew and do) but still. sometimes you need to be reminded to stay sharp. how could i be mad at that? lol. i show respect when its given..

& i like reading other peoples perspectives on games that im on and other games as well.. and i respect the people that take the time to give quality content.

florida atlantic/UCF u75 -110

this is a huge #.. everyones thinking shootout. both teams have played garbage teams and dropped alot of points.. i dont think thats the case with tonight. i cant find much history on this specific match up? these teams clearly dont meet often..

i wouldnt be surprised if the 1H of this game is both coaches figuring each other out.

i trust lane kiffin is a smart man. he knows if this gets in a shootout he has no chance at winning this game. best thing for him to will be to slow the game down a bit.

37-27
