Cougar's Early Leans

**hornet0202** · 10-11-09, 10:03 PM

I like Arkansas +24 alot. I think Florida is not playing their best football right now and even could have a let down game after the LSU win. Arkansas scored a lot of points on a good Auburn team.

**Dbldown11** · 10-11-09, 10:07 PM

Love Cal and South Carolina....

Be careful with Arkansas, a lot of people are gonna love that many points from a team that just beat up on Auburn....

two things:

1) Auburn was highly overrated

and....

2) Arkansas has the worst defense in the SEC so Florida is gonna put up numbers like they did on Kentucky. and Florida's defense is VERY SOLID, the have completely shut down everyone they've played, so Arkansas is not gonna keep up with them

Early leans DD...thanks for the thoughts.

That's more than I am getting from most on the forum these days.

**Dbldown11** · 10-11-09, 10:15 PM

I know they are early leans...just giving you some of my thoughts so you have some things to think about. Not trying to jump on ya for them. Plus I've been wrong once or twice

haha

**Cougar Bait** · 10-11-09, 10:17 PM

It's okay actually. I am not upset at you DD...it's been a weird night. Thought I had peers on this forum that considered me an equal. Apparently I am garbage. Whatever. I am sick of this place.

Coug's..............dude......come on. You can't allow the drama on this thing get to you.

**Cougar Bait** · 10-11-09, 10:20 PM

This might be my last post.

**wal66** · 10-11-09, 10:23 PM

What the hell man?

**Dbldown11** · 10-11-09, 10:27 PM

seriously cougar.....cmon we've had a good thing going on here the past couple weeks...Especially this last weekend, just hitting our stride. You are a big part of the usefull handicapping that goes on here. Most of this site is a joke, but there are a few good posters that will actually discuss games and have good thoughts.

Dont bring that small number of people even lower

**wal66** · 10-11-09, 10:29 PM

Holly crap Coug's I just finnished a winning day in NFL. I never win in NFL.

**Flight** · 10-11-09, 11:17 PM

Coug, I never talk to you but I always check out your posts. You are valuable to the forum. Don't talk to whoever it is that is bothering you.

I like your South Carolina +17. I think the line will go higher and you may be able to get +17.5 after the public pounds Alabama.

This is totally a square game to even bet, but I was wondering how you felt about USC @ Notre Dame with a spread favoring USC for 11? That number is guaranteed to change, but with both schools being public darlings, which way will it go? I think it gets bet to +13.5 where I will take Notre Dame. If it goes the other way I take USC. What are your thoughts?

va tech is a gift

**LINE-crush-ER** · 10-12-09, 12:08 AM

ciny and iowa at first glance looks like a good bet also , we ll see later on in the week

Cougar be carefull with the Arkansas pick....Take a look back at what Alabama did to their "potent" offense. Florida's D is as good as Bama if not better.
I'm a first time poster on here but have been following your picks and I like the way you think. Keep up the good post. GL to all

Thanks Cubs,

I am already off of most of these...my early leans tend to be just that. I usually talk myself out of most of them. Still debating that South Carolina pick though. I really like getting 17 here. I just think this is a game that could easily end up 26-13...something in that range. Arkansas may have blown their load last week...plus it's Florida's homecoming...not that I rank that as a huge deal, but it is something to consider. Also, another week for Tebow healthy might make all the difference in the world. It probably won't make the card. Thanks for your thoughts.

**pags11** · 10-12-09, 05:19 PM

cougar bait,

sometimes when there's a tidal wave the best thing to do is just steer clear...

at any rate I like the Georgia Tech play, lean your way with South Carolina but the play didn't make the card...and obviously we disagree on the USU vs. Nevada game...GL this week...

**Cougar Bait** · 10-12-09, 05:26 PM

Pags,

It's over. No way I am trying to make an enemy out of you. It hurt my feelings a little the way you responded, but feelings are not important here. This place is for picking winners and making money. And that's what I intend on doing for the rest of the year.

I have been rethinking the Nevada play. Utah State can sling it and the Wolfpack have trouble with the pass (something La. Tech didn't have the ability to take advantage of last week-thus the blow out). Really thinking long and hard about a few others:

Pitt
Ohio State
Minnesota (their D scares me a little though)
Mississippi St.
SMU (you're already on it)

kinda pondering USC but might let that one go....

**ronjon619** · 10-12-09, 09:32 PM

Good Luck.....I love Cal too.

**pags11** · 10-13-09, 01:15 AM

cougar bait,

glad to hear it...I'm sure you can appreciate that I've worked my ass off here for five years and deserve more respect that what I was receiving from some people around here the past couple of weeks...thanks for not taking it personally as I never had a beef with you, was just trying to handle my business, sorry that you didn't agree with my reasoning...

good move passing on Nevada this week IMO...GL

why does Cougar Bait become so sensitive recently???

A combination of an excess of bottled water and breast cancer awareness month?

I can't seem to find your picks this week. I hoped you rode this pony.
