    Thanks Pags....6-1 really sweet. With my Arkansas play went 7-1 on college....best weekend of the season for me. Good thing I decided to follow all your plays this weekend instead of just the one planned originall...Wisconsin which turned out to be the only loser. FYI is the first week I played only your picks (plus Arkansas). Looking for another good week. Best of luck!!

    Hey pags,
    Congrats on a success last week. Already likin your 5 plays so far again. I know its goin to be another killer weekend.

    If you don't mind my asking, any insight on Minnesota +16.5, Notre Dame +12, or Arizona St. -3?

    --I really think Minn can hang with PSU and do not think they're actually too bad of a team. I think this is just flat out too many points.
    --Notre Dame has a lot of talent and I believe will lose to USC, however I really think they can keep it within a TD.
    --ASU has a great D and Washington's D is nothing to get excited about. I really think this is will be a big difference-maker.

    Thanks for your time, your work is always appreciated, lets get 'em this weekend!!!

    Pags, what is the lowest number you would take Louisville at? I have it at +10.5 now. Thanks!

    And good luck!

    bypp,

    out of the three games I think Minnesota is the most solid, although I wouldn't touch the game...I'd like to think Notre Dame is an alright play, but I just don't like betting against Pete Carroll and USC...a good friend of mine, gyno, really likes ASU this week although I do not have a strong opinion on the game...gyno knows his stuff though...

    oda11,

    I would still play Louisville at 10.5...

    I lean to Minn and ASU the most. I really like them. I do agree going against USC and Pete Carroll is kind of unsettling. I struggle to get a read on Notre Dame. Sometimes I think theyre really growing and developing and other times they just confuse me. Thank you very much for the input, I really appreciate it. GL!!!!

    most of these lines for your picks are moving in favor of you on my book with exception of maybe 2-3 games

    thanks for your effors pags! it's much appreciated

    quick question: I'm working with a 100u bankroll. I put 1u on SMU +7. My line just moved to 7.5. Would you recommend tossing another one on?

    Nicely done last week. You said you expected a great weekend, and you certainly weren't wrong. Think we get the same results this weekend too?

    ImBettor,

    my advice would be to stick with the play and not add more to it, as I'm not a big believer in adding to a play just because you can now get a better line...if you planned on it being a one unit play, which it appears you did, then stick with it...

    shrax,

    ...I think you already know the answer...

    yea, normally I stick to this method of thought as well, but 7 to 7.5 is one of the most significant .5 point line movements you can get. The extra value is a tad exponential, right?

    imbettor,

    of course anytime you can get 7.5 compared to 7 it adds value...the way I looked at this game is that I felt it lost significant value at 6.5, thus 7 was a key number for me...I've learned not to be greedy over the years in grabbing lines, make a line that you think is fair value for a game and play the game at that number or close to it...most of the times in the past when I would get greedy, waiting for a line to go up a point, the majority of the time it would work against me...just speaking from experience...
