Ralph's Week 8

**BigdaddyQH** · 10-19-09, 09:21 AM

Oklahoma is porbably a sure fire loser. Their season is over. They are just playing out the schedule now to see which minor Bowl Game they appear in. Bradford is finished. Kansas is still in the Big 12 North hunt, especially after Nebraka's loss. And you are going to give 7 points and Kansas at home? You will have plenty of takers.

Boise should easily handle Hawaii, but 24 is a lot of points to give on the Islands. Still, you have a much better shot with that wger than your OU wager. Good Luck.

**Ralphie1412** · 10-19-09, 09:27 AM

Ill bet you 100 points on Oklahoma. Bob Stoops isnt going to just lay down. Kansas is a faker team than Mizzou was.

**Ralphie1412** · 10-19-09, 11:48 AM

Miami -6.5 looks nice. I hate this clemson team. They are very hit or miss and after blowing out wake I can see them getting the same done to them. Miami is probably the most battle tested team in college football right now.

**Ralphie1412** · 10-19-09, 12:42 PM

I might play Texas. Im 100% NOT sold on this team and think they are very overrated. If Bradford didnt get hurt it was going to be a long day for them. Earl Thomas is nasty and the defense can play. They should have no problem stopping a mediocre Mizzou team. And on the flip side Texas should be able to score. I see texas taking this game by 20+

**HoulihansTX** · 10-19-09, 12:51 PM

Boise St. may win by 40. Easy call. Idaho made Hawaii look good on offense, but Fresno showed us they have a glaring weakness, RUN DEFENSE. For Hawaii its none existent, and Boise's run game is clicking.

Staying away from Oklahoma on the road. But that line sure does look low. They are in a position I haven't seen them in for 10 years. As they are no longer a lock for a At Large bid in the BCS.

**Ralphie1412** · 10-19-09, 12:58 PM

Thats why I dont buy that there season is over. Stoops is still trying to have a winning season and isnt going to just lay down for this kansas team. I have seen teams like Duke and Southern Miss. hang with kansas at home. Their defense is terrible.

True. I will play them also after my Tulsa bet comes through.

**Ralphie1412** · 10-19-09, 01:02 PM

I will play Oklahoma Moneyline as well. I agree with the Idaho train stopping. USF looks good too. Daniels is a good QB and you cant find any better than Selve and Paul as DE's without looking to the nfl.

Their was to much hype in that game, and South Florida didn't recognize the teams they had beat were dreadful. They are a good team, and focus should be on Pitt this week. I still think Pitt doesn't lose until they play Cincy, so it is a no play for me.

**Ralphie1412** · 10-19-09, 01:19 PM

I forgot I hit my NFL play yesterday:

New England/TEN 3Q over 7 for 2 units

**Ralphie1412** · 10-19-09, 04:27 PM

Im really liking Florida St. +3.....this will be a bounce back game for them, Im interested in what the total will be. Ponder is a capable QB and I think we might see the team that steamed through mormonville.

**Ralphie1412** · 10-19-09, 06:32 PM

Florida St. +3 (-115) 3.45 units to win 3

**Ralphie1412** · 10-19-09, 07:21 PM

Den/SDiego Under 45 (the greek) 3.3 units to win 3

Denver +4 (local) 2.2 units to win 2

**Cougar Bait** · 10-19-09, 07:25 PM

Like the Florida State play Ralphie...going small on it though. Weeknight game rule.

**Ralphie1412** · 10-19-09, 07:27 PM

thats a good rule, since Im up a lot im getting a little more aggessive for the next few weeks then Im going to be limiting number of games as I did this week, then units will go down.

**Cougar Bait** · 10-19-09, 07:33 PM

This is my last week for 3 unit plays. Going to go with 2 units for awhile afterwords, then to 1. Bowl games it's mostly 1 unit with a couple 2 units thrown in for the hell of it. Last year had a good run to start the year in Bowl games...7-0...then tailed off...but still made some dough. I'll be checking your thread as the week goes on. Looks like we are on opposite side of a couple games though, but you have had quite a year thus far. Here's to keeping it going

**Ralphie1412** · 10-19-09, 07:35 PM

Right on, besides Florida St. I will probably JUST be playing Boise and Oklahoma. This Kansas team is smoke and mirrors.

**Ralphie1412** · 10-19-09, 09:08 PM

under 24 2nd half Monday night football. 5.5 units to win 5

**Ralphie1412** · 10-19-09, 10:45 PM

whew had to sweat that 2nd half under out at the end. Thanks to Nate Kaeding for blowing kick to put me at ease. Im so mad at myself, Broncos were -7.5 +300 at The Greek and i pussed out. But still won money

TONIGHT:

2-1 +3.7 units

YTD: 49-32 +75.18 units

**Ralphie1412** · 10-20-09, 01:52 PM

Georgia Tech -200 4 units to win 2

**Ralphie1412** · 10-20-09, 02:18 PM

Oklahoma -300 6 units to win 2

**Smurf71** · 10-20-09, 02:58 PM

Week 8 /Horns suck!

I live in Austin TX and Longhorns is our team but I agree - they are not as good as they were last year. In fact they did struggle with a weak Colorado team at home. Horns will be rolling until they meet with Alabama or Florida. That will be like hitting a brick wall. Tell you the truth, Horns are not even best college team in TX right now- TCU is. Anyway... good games for week 8 to consider

W.Michigan
Ohio
UNLV
GT
Boise st
Arkansas
Tulsa
Pittsburgh
TX Tech
Stanford
Kentucky

All those teams should cover...but before betting one needs to do deeper analysis

**Ralphie1412** · 10-20-09, 03:51 PM

agreed on Gtech, Boise, and Arkansas. No opinion on tulsa althought i lean them. I like South florida +7, and +220. I cant bet on that terrible UNLV team even though thats the side to be on if you play that game.

At least you are a realist when it comes to this texas team. They are in for a rude awakening. I love Earl Thomas and the D for the most part. I see a smackdown on Mizzou coming.

**Ralphie1412** · 10-20-09, 04:41 PM

South Florida +7 2.2 units to win 2

**Cougar Bait** · 10-20-09, 05:08 PM

USF is another game I am on as well. GL to you Ralphie...Just to make it easier to read you might want to consider putting all your CFB plays in the same post...or at least posting them the same day...I've just found it a little difficult to navigate between the Pro games going off that night and the CFB games posted that are yet to be played. Keep it up yo

**Ralphie1412** · 10-20-09, 05:14 PM

I totally agree but after a day or so you cant edit the first post, or maybe I just dont know how hahaha.....Im gonna make a final card thread, not only for the reasons your stated but its easier for me to grade. Glad to hear we agree on South Florida

**Cougar Bait** · 10-20-09, 05:35 PM

That's cool...or just keep doing your thing. It seems to be working. Hopefully come Saturday we'll all be cashing...

**Ralphie1412** · 10-20-09, 05:44 PM

indeed.......god the week is so long

At least i got some action on thursday. I cant wait for basketball to start.

**Ralphie1412** · 10-20-09, 06:08 PM

The Greek has Tulsa -7.5 (-105) So I bought the hook

Tulsa -7 (-115) 3.3 units to win 3
Tulsa -275 2.75 units to win 1

**Carson05** · 10-20-09, 06:10 PM

im with you on south florida, lets get this

**Ralphie1412** · 10-20-09, 06:14 PM

South Florida has the best 2 defensive ends in the country. They will contain Dion Lewis.
