    100 Dimes 2009 - 2010 CFB Picks Thread
    Since I started going public with my picks last week, I have now started up the official College Football thread. For picks in other sports I will do the same. I will rely on this to get my name out there from now on. Those who fade shall fade away. I plan to keep my picks updated as best as possible on my spreadsheet and on my thread / blog. As well, I'll do my best to keep updated on my signature.

    For my record, I will be counting plays that I personally play and for the corresponding amount. There will be certain plays where I fulfill a solid right up and there may be a few here in there that are more of a hunch. The ones with a solid write up most likely will contain a higher rating. However, if people are asking about how I feel about a game, or want my personal opinion, I'll give it on the thread. As well, teaser picks will usually contain very little analysis. Especially the 4-team +13.5 points ones. However, only games listed with a rating and on my spreadsheet will count towards my record. You may take an opinion here or there merely as a "free play" as they call it in the capping world.

    My rating scale will be as follows. I like the system Chris Jordan uses, which is a * rating from 1-1000*. This more or less can be converted to $ amounts, or your corresponding currency. However, in the end these are only ratings, not my recommended dollar amounts. You control your own money management system, so do not apply my #'s to your $ amounts and gripe to me about it.
    BOL to all!
    This thread starts off with my record at:
    All Sports 4-0 +424.86*
    NFL 3-0 +388.55*
    College Football 1-0 +36.31

      Florida State +3, 50* Release

      Well here goes. First College Pick analysis. I have waited this long today to finally overcome the "It looks to easy" factor. After looking this one up and down, and I have no choice but to exercise Action on this play. I stared at this line and all of the #'s for quite a while and after I looked it over, and found this warrents a solid play on the Noles tonight.

      First of all, when looking at their records, they mean absolutely nothing to me. As of late, UNC hasn't shown me anything on the field that makes me believe they have enough fire power to stick with the athletic ability that FSU posses. I understand FSU has played sub-par this year so far, and thankfully so, because it set us up for this gracious line. The fact that UNC's offense is somewhere near the worst in all of 1-A football, just gives me the shakes when putting them up against natural athletic speed. UNC's talent level simply just doesn't compare in my eyes. UNC will probably try to keep the ball on the ground and and hope their good decent defense willkeep this one close tonight, but I expect FSU to come out swinging and hopefully put this one away in the 4th Q. Since this is a team that likes to either not show up to par or keep it a bit too interesting, find a way to take the FG, even if it means buying the extra .5. Although I expect FSU to take this one outright, its worth it for the investment.

      BOL to all! and lets take home the cash!

        Ahhh, sweet taste of victory in my first college written analysis. I mean Im not gonna say I wasnt a lil worried for a bit there. But hey my analysis was pretty close to dead on, am I right? The better more athletic team prevailed in the end. And if you think 98 TD catches are something your average ol' walk ons do against the nations best rated pass TD, your just making up s in your head bc your mad you lost your $ on UNC. I know there was a lot of public $ on FSU tonight, but Im sure they expected a blow out. As I said I expected a close game with FSU taking it over in the 4th. O well, enough about this win, on to a new day. Hope you had your $ on the right team!

          Week 8 Plays

          Hope we can continue the winning streak this week. Guess it only makes sense that there are some erie looking games out there with it being Halloween. Call me what you want for these teaser plays, as for there are some double digit spreads out there that I wouldn't even consider picking for a lock on a straight "pick em" basis. I will be taking advantage of the extra points to atleast give me some more security. I see a few single games out there, but I want to look a little further into them before I go out on a limb. Quite honestly this wasn't a week where anything jumped off the board at me right away, and Im not one to chase after action pointlessly.

          Here's what we have on tap so far, look for a single contest to come as we get closer to Saturday / Sunday. BOL

                Ha sorry, taking a better look at the games befire I dive in head first, this weeks spreads just havnt been shaking me the right way in college or pro. Especially NFL last weeks blowouts have way to many inflated lines out there...Haven't had as much time to research this week and nothing jumped out right away on the board like normal. Im going to keep digging, I should have a stright up here shortly. Just wanted to atleast get something out there for now.

                  Update Week 8 Update # 2

                  USC Trojans -3 50* Release


                  Well I looked at this one all week long and being a fan of USC football, I just had to look at it a little more. But I'm tired of tossing and turning over it. I'm pulling the trigger. I don't always like to bet big on my teams, but Im going to this week. No getting around it. Im pulling the trigger on the Trojans. I expect their defense to keep the explosive Oregon offense slowed down early and calm the "zoo" animals down in the stands. I see them grabbing a solid grasp of this game in the middle of the 4th Q and holding on to victory. BOL to all.
