TEAM LINE-crush-ER week 9 notebook for games

[LINE-crush-ER]

man I cant even tell you what kind of night we had

forgot all my damn note books yesterday

so I cant even think of all the games we hit yesterday
I know we lost with Miami , and we came south florida , miss state , oregon state ,Navy
arizona state , western kentucky, arkansas,and even came off ucf
so out picks that we came off of went 4-4 with teams dropped so we can live with that
yesterday did make a post about ark even in that post it was retracted before the game started , what happened on that
My booky had the line off
so I mediately though green wasnt playing , it turned out my dumb ass guy thought the game went off at 11:00 not 11:20

here are the games we added penn state , Bama under , auburn under, stanford
givnig you are strongest plays with
OK state , Texas, Kentucky, syracuse
in addition to our other plays that also was posted all week long
Duke
GT
Ball State
Oregon
Tcu
Iowa
losing only with miami , our weekly thread had all these games with notes ,

Im going to make this thread for notes our our games this week
I dont know exactly waht our record was yesterday exactly but on the one that were posted it was 10-1-1
the rest was just the ones we got in late
best o fluck this week , will have a bunch of crap going on here over the next week so dont confuse this post for our actual picks ,
that post will go out friday before week 9 games

[MartinBlank]

Do you guys post ever post your record for the season?

Of even your record for the week?

That would help some.

Do you guys post ever post your record for the season?

Of even your record for the week?

That would help some.

Nah Not worried about record

a couple of guys are about to start our on site though

giving our picks away for free

we will definitely keep up with the record aftert thats done

The site will be free , but after a few weeks it will be strongly recommended tipping/donating
If our record continues as it has all year
our best 5 in two weeks has been 9-1

last week we had 15 games written down and was able to succefully pull of 5 games that were losers , had we written down 16 games miami also would of been pulled as well

even a pick that had been labled pick of the week sometime wednesday didnt even make our top 5 this week

as it was clearly stated on my picks posted friday night

a post for a game will not go oout ever again other than our official picks posted friday
so as it stands we really know our crap

I spent over 40 hours handicapping last week , 4 other team members probable spent more than that all together

Ok state , texas ,syracuse , kentucky , oregon , Tcu
were our top plays
Syracuse only being the one in question as the game entered the third Quarter

Best of luck will let you know if we move to our site , will do this for atleast a couple of weeks to bring afew hundred or so followers with us

Dont think it will be to hard to do so , if our records stays like this ,
but it has constantly been this way

even this week , all our plays were posted , with the exception of under /overs

bama under /auburn under

and the games that were game time decisions
Like penn state , even went on with ark and came off ark after injuries in fact in favor for the rebels , we were kept in the dark about greene

that being a early game never wanted to tuch it anyway , its hard to find out those things , but it clearly would have made a big difference had he been out for this game

down to 24 games after the mondya /tuesday some the games will delete their self as the updates are made

[LINE-crush-ER]

hey guys last week my 100 dollar monday parlay
was oregon , tcu , ga tech
I didnt like betting that so early actually think it was tuesday
oregon was flying throught the roof and hit a big bet with a 100 3 teamer so thought i could start including my strongest plays on monday , cant gurantee they will be my pciks friday but they surely have been , It s really just a walk through at this point I couls almost name every person on the injury list , and get pretty close to what the score was on every game , i am not saying its just a matter of looking at the injuury report and if its played at home or away night or day crap , but out of thirty games these are my top plays right now

I know a lot of you guys wanted this last week because you like making the picks on monday while the lines are in your favor
so here goes

[LINE-crush-ER]

please read the above thread before writing these down
our strongest plays of the week ,

Oregon , OK state , Michigan state , Ole miss

put that on a 4 teamer if you want hope It makes our final pick friday
like michigan state if cousins plays thats the back upi thats been playing the last 2 games
so really thats the only reason off hand wouldnt like these games ,

If you dont bet until friday/saturday please leave this off for now

if you liked it the other way maybe wait until firday on that game to see if it made it on out top 10 and certainly i ll let you know why it dropped off

BOL with those i am going to play the 3 without michigan state
I really like the points on the two I feel strongly about both winning straight up
Ole miss , it just once again proves teams play so much better afert they have alabama

so that being said should like tenn also here but didnt make out plays
we will soon have our selections narrowed down to 10 and go from there
se you guys just wanted to throw you a bone for now

[LINE-crush-ER]

also wal 66
try to watch his spread sheet i dont want to say so but looks like he has taken as same simialr strategy as far as keeping his notes like I have on this thread

Bet he was finding it hard to ekkp up with also
Its much better on a thread than
notebooks and blogs
so far its so obtainable to get from anywhere
like yesterday when I forgot my notebooks , the hell that was today from lastweeks notes , I dont even have a clue what we won yet
well I have it but not whats whos is still in question
butthe guys that bet with me dont bet as much as i do
but they hit 5 team parlays and 4 teamers and a bunch of 100 dollar 3 teamers
they are all up pretty good as far as their play went probable like your self
they made 10x plus their bets
back to wal66
I am very interested in his porgram
i beleive the teams listed as 5 points or better the line is
i am looking at teasing them on a ten point teaser
also I would be very interested in someone like him writing for our site
he does a very good job writing his cloumns
where i am so busy it just takes time from doing the more important things
My wife will be doing it as of right now
but would much rather have a fellow better
more than likely we will have another huge week and I think I can get him someone like him to join our team
also we picked up a big ten guy this week
He should be on here sometime this week me also his name is johnny
but i will get him to make his avatar name something like
the BIGTENMAN or JOHNNYBIGTEN
actually will try to open him a ccount right now if one of those are available
see ya bub back to work I needed the break for a sec

[BIGTENMAN]

Johnny this is your account ,
go to your posts at your avatar anytime you lose tis thread on one of your own'
please keep your updates I have also made you a thread for your games '
great to have a big ten guy ,
'Will send you your money sometime after I collect tuesday night

KANSAS STATE
my god can that be right knasas state +25 against oklahoma maybe nc state
i cant beleive this doenst look right at all but who knows will tyr to peg it out here soon its actually going the other way also
I like the points here Right now though

[LINE-crush-ER]

KANSAS STATE
my god can that be right knasas state +25 against oklahoma maybe nc state
i cant beleive this doenst look right at all but who knows will tyr to peg it out here soon its actually going the other way also
I like the points here Right now though

held colorado to 60 and 180 , oklahoma not running well missing a star rb
kansas state is playing better , certainly than they were early on
a well balanced team , had to go way back to get a more logical idea what they could do against oklahoma with tulsa running over 150 yards rushing
Have an above average with passing yards average at 9
oops kansas state has lost everyone of their games not played at home
kansas state has a terrible punter preventing this t oever be a close game , in which they could swap field postiion
if you like this game it might be worth looking at it taking oklahoma
right now off this game getting rid of em not adding games

[drfunkmaster]

who is this DOUCHb@G

[LINE-crush-ER]

punter not so bad after all , some how averaged it up wrong closer to 38 yards a punt not 29
15-9-14/ the points scored in all three away losses well all three losses since they were all away
64-45-33 the points scored in oklahomas home wins
kansas lAST WEEK was 33 points worse added together their average with scored points and points aginst landry jones went to kansas
and put up better than half on completions 22/38 but still has problems rushing
so here is the problem , no one runs well as far as this game , clock stops
more pass plays and more big plays will happen giving more possessions although yuu felt the same way wit horegon state and siad the same thing
although this game may come bcak , and every time I find omething to come off I find something to get back on it
33 points different with kansas sounds like the
game in favor of Okalahoma
41-10 but I will rarely ever go completely the other way after liking a big dog
last week proved smart , in Miss state ,orgeon state , tenn , vanderbilt, so want start here
no bet on this game from us
uhh its late and seemslike got nothing done
here after reading please leace comments game questions and what ever you choose to do so ,
I ll get to anything first thing in the moring hope fully ill have a crap load of emails in the morning from the guys on their teamsd from these games those keeping up
so far the games in play right now , not picks games that we are about to start disecting '
oregon , Michigan state , ok state , ole miss , northern illinois
thats my 5 the rest of their guys will have their plays that maade it throught the first round
and then we will all go at it trying to porve the picks are bad
we spend much more time trying to make plays not a bet than we do liking it
I want have any part of the games above unless it makes it in the top 10 then is challenged
and we will go head to head from their challenger/me
jus giving you the confidence you need to spend your hard eanred money on our picks
ciao

So when do you think you will have your final picks in ?

[LINE-crush-ER]

Georgia tech hasnt been held to to less than 30 points other than dropping guys left and right with injuries during the
miami game and some how was outgained against miss state
gtech won the first half 28-17 and tied 14-14 the second half
and passed all over miss state 11-14 for 266 yards but some how had contro lof the game keeping the ball over 36 minutes for the game
gerogia has a simialr threat in vanderbilts weakness they also thriugh against vanderbilt for big gain yardish 16 completed passes for 233 yards
vanderbilt then healthy 9-26 failed to really take ove a bad rice team until the fourth quarter and failed to stop rice running the ball
right now gergia tech seems at this point like the correct play
find out how vanderbilt is against stopping the rush against quarterback
qb stateagains vanderbilt in rishing this will be determining factor if its a play or not as a midweek top ten play

[LINE-crush-ER]

trent stellman rushed for 97 yards on 25 cariries dominatin the clock against vanderbilt
army steelman dominating vanderbilt , georgia tech seems this same style of play against a bad vandy offensive team that just isnt built to stop this style of play
Georgia tech will own the clock and score points at will against vanderbilt
Georgia tech

[LINE-crush-ER]

trent steelman armys qb was held to 43 yards rushing against rutgers possible a not as good of a team as vanderbilt
georgia tech seems to good to be true here with the line going down
south carolina playing at home against vandy ,
beat up to hell and back on both sides of the ball had over 431 total net yards against vandy
and only allowed 275 yards
22-33 312 yards passing sout h carolina against vandy
south carolina doenst have the percentage rate scoring in the redzone

[LINE-crush-ER]

Dons picks
are as follows
georgia tech
ole miss
utepp
tennesee oregon

[LINE-crush-ER]

Bigtenman picks are as follows
Indiania +17.5
Penn state -14
Michigan state
out of conference game picks
Olemiss
Tennesee
Utepp

[marabdl86]

Sorry man but you are intense

I need to know what your offical picks are?

You have all this stuff going on and I'm a little confused

[LINE-crush-ER]

Sorry man but you are intense

I need to know what your offical picks are?

You have all this stuff going on and I'm a little confused

Sorry Man these are notes '
if you take a look at the dont write in this thread you will see that I am very detailed in finding a flaw in a pick
I want be making any selections on the record until thursday or friday
I have listed the games that we likes on monday that should be in our selection

this damen EC./Memphis game has slowed me down from progressing at all today with the saturday games

I will have a post that officially has our selctions
the EM/Mem game I am the only working on this one
all the other guys love this game

but have pulled their plays in respect as my recent history of capping
I ahve went from 6 hours a week
to 20 hours a week
last week I had over 50 hours of work
and this week want fall short from that total as I have worked 18 of the last 24 hours sleeping on 4
This time certainly pays off
Miami game and the East carolina games in turn should ofe been plays for us
I have found so many reasons to drop these games
Miami and East carolina searching for an additonal team could play as a ten pint teaser ,
now losing a full 2 points on the EC game that takes most of our advantage away
cant see eiter of those team losing
so getting points at this time should be a play
Under 57 , EC +4.5 Miami +2.5
should be a very good teaser option getting ten laying -110 to get 100
thats just a suggestion not a pick
I dont make plays until friday but if I was to make a teaser Miami would be a team to play here with those
additonally I like the under
for many facts
but EC/Mem game can only be a less than one hour game time decison
Waiting for injury updates

love what u guys are doing w col fb and personally love going threw all of your notes as i like 2 c what why and how your comin up with great cards every week!!! just ignore da retards and keep up the good work!

[LINE-crush-ER]

love what u guys are doing w col fb and personally love going threw all of your notes as i like 2 c what why and how your comin up with great cards every week!!! just ignore da retards and keep up the good work!

its really just a matter

when often at times when writing a team down as a bet

It was nearly impossible to scratch that game

Now I /we have a n entire process after a game is selected that game then

goes through a process of trying to dis credit its selction

often times when you like a team you look for positive areas to substantiate
your pick

Here we do that its just That we like the other team automatically
the opposite way (hard to explain hope you get it )

Articles that I find on satrudays often will have a game dropped
being he case with arkansas last week , it never became a selected team

but I never give up trying to get off a bet

I actualy am fueled to not bet that game more so than getting excited about
winning on that selection

the guys all came off their memphis pick my team (guys )
I flagged em last night

I have now posted that thread for east carolina /memphis game

go getthat winner

have some awesome inforamtion on that My Nw thread
East Carolina /Memphis

[2daBank]

agree totally w your point of focusing on good things about teams u like. really buying into trying 2 discredit pick instead. THANX FOR THE RESPONCE AND AS I ALREADY SAID KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

[LINE-crush-ER]

how does a team beat pittsburgh
and lose to wakeforest , duke and boston college three weeks in a row
injuries
gosh they dont have a single person probable questionable ,
they are just out and even worse out for year
just looking at it
Florida state actually could be nice play here with great value
in no situation does nc seem to look like they have an ability to stop the pass
adding they play at florida state
the bad thing about this game both teams have 3 wins
they will both need to win this game in order to be bowl elegible or win 3 out of the next four
florida state has florida so no chance there
winning 4 of 4 so really for floirda state they will need to win their next 3 ballgames if losing to nc state
nc state has maryland clemson vtech and north carolina
having the same situation needing thrre of four but with vtech in that lineup
so the best team should be ready for this challenge and coming off a win away going back home after losing two straight at home
florida state has given up some god awful records in the passing department only putting a stop to north carolina
(one more reason to like that vtech game )
in confernce play
florida state has atleast kept the games close where it seems at nc state has thrown in the towel losing its last three ball games and the last two not close
what is impressive that florida state manages to keep close to half possession time ofthe clock playing georgia tech putting up 26 first downs against them only virginia , virginia tech and clemson didnt have 13 first downs
florida state hasnt been out of any ball game
nc state seems they get even weaker
Florida state lookked bat last week on television
but we know better to belive what we saw on television
Florida state gets back 3 corner back a starting slb
and a much needed wr this week
a conference game much needed
really the only concern about giving the points here how in the hell di dthey beat pitt
and they had a much needed bye week
The three primary concerns for Florida State headed into its game on Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium against N.C. State:

-Russell Wilson.
The N.C. State quarterback can run. He can throw. His skill set is similar to other quarterbacks who have given Florida State problems in recent years: Tim Tebow, Tyrod Taylor, B.J. Daniels. Much like Christian Ponder, Wilson had remained relatively under the radar amid his team’s struggles. But he is having a good season – though perhaps not quite as good as some might have expected after he was All-ACC first team a season ago as a freshman. For the season, Wilson has completed 132 of his 225 attempts for 1,659 yards and 16 touchdowns. He has thrown just four interceptions and earlier this season set the NCAA record for most consecutive pass attempts without an interception. He has run for 249 yards and three touchdowns.
-Willie Young.
The Wolfpack’s senior defensive end is second in the ACC in sacks, with seven, but he hasn’t had one in his team’s past two games. That likely means he’s due for a breakout. Young had three sacks at Wake Forest and he’s capable of being a disruptive force any given week. The Seminoles’ offensive line has improved in recent weeks, and the pass protection has come a long ways, but we all remember what happened earlier this season against USF, when the Bulls elite defensive ends abused the Seminoles’ offensive tackles. FSU must contain Young.
-Handling success.
The last time Florida State thought it turned a corner was after it throttled BYU in Provo. The Seminoles responded by losing their next three games. Now, once again, FSU believes its come-from-behind victory at North Carolina last week can be a turning point. And the Seminoles are right – that game can be a turning point for a team that fast seemed headed for disaster. How well FSU responds on Saturday to success will determine whether the Seminoles can salvage their season. A win would bring FSU back to .500, and it would give the team momentum headed into two difficult road games. A loss and the Seminoles will have an extremely difficult time extending their 27-year bowl streak.
