MMike032....I am loving the picture man. And I also agree 100% with what you have said. I am a diehard UGA fan and I just can't support them covering +7 against Tech this year. And unfortunately I will take a Paul Johnson who has had two weeks to prepare over Willie Martinez who has had only 1 week to prepare. That is a no brainer.Comment -
Anyone need reminding about last week, Cal/Stanford game The AZ/Org game........ This game is a no play esp. when you got WV -1, Burn +10, and even Rugters at -3 you can make a pretty penny on fridayComment -
Man, Rutgers screwed me last week....you think they tear apart Louisville?
And I think GT is definitely worthy of a play this week. Joe Cox would have to have another Arkansas type game to compete with GT. Not going to happen.Comment -
I think rutgers wins by 20.. Big time let down game vs. Cuse after destorying south florida. L'ville had a big win (for them) vs. Cuse and then played tough at S Florida. My only fear is its senior night(day) soooo emotions and everything but I really like rugters!Comment -
and what does AZ/Org, and CAL/ STAN have to do with UGA/ GT
not a damn thing
and yall can argue about the SEC defensives being better than anyone...
yada, yada..
anyone that follows UGA knows where their money is going if they bet it.
I havent came across 1 person knowledagle about UGA that thinks they have a shot of covering.
maybe we all get burned and UGA wins SU, who knows.
theres gonna be alot of mixed emotions with me watching this game

I'm skeptical like wal66 here. Every time I lay big money on a game like this that seems like a no brainer, I lose. I think I'll probably place a small wager on GT but nothing more.Comment -
I'm an SEC follower and love watching the conference but there are some bad teams in the league and UGA is one of them. Did you miss the Okie State game? Okie State is an average team in my eyes. So is Az St. Uga got bombed by UF and just lost to UK which is the lowest of the lows for this team. You will lose your shirt betting on a conference. Teams like Vandy, Miss State, UK would not win the ACC. Don't believe that. These are bottom dwellars. UGA and even UT are pretty bad this year.
UGA couldn't stop GT last year so why should they stop them this year when GT is much improved and UGA is down???Comment -
AJ Green is listed as doubtful along with Rambo also being doubtful.
Hope gave way to reality Wednesday, as Georgia head coach Mark Richt announced both safety Bacarri Rambo and receiver A.J. Green were likely to miss Saturday’s game against Georgia Tech.
Cox will have to rely on freshman Wooten and Troupe to make the plays. If Cox can get the ball to them
not that it matters much but Richard Samuels is also out for the game after suffering a concussion in practice yesterday. He hasnt seen much playing time in a couple weeks except for special teams.Comment -
I just have one question, doesn't the fact that this thread exists and the fact that everybody and their mom is betting (the house) on GT worry anybody?
I personally see no reason why UGA would win or even cover, but there has to be a reason why the line is so low. Some people say based on UGA's history, but that can't have anything to do with the spread considering UGA is coming off a home loss vs. Kentucky and the public knows that. The public is HUGE on GT and the books know that which is why the spread is only 7.5. If books could get 70% of the betting public on GT, and GT can't cover, the books stand to make a lot of money. Anyways, best of luck to everybody especially those betting big on GT.Comment -
right you are, lack of movement has me 2nd guessing my bet but not scared to lose.
but theres no way in hell I'd play UGA at +7
personally, even as a UGA fan I hope they get blown out of the stadium so more pressure is put on Richt to make some changes. I wouldnt care if they lose to GT and lose the bowl game as long as some changes are made. if that happens it'll be GAs 1st losing season since Donnon was the coach.Comment -
2 Reasons to stay away from this play:
1. Georgia is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Georgia Tech
2. Georgia is playing for a bowl bid.Comment -
I like GT in a teaser for sureComment -
Line is 58 at my book. I think the OVER looks VERY good!!Comment -
I don't know shit about College Football but everybody including some very well known handicappers seem to be banking on Georgia Tech so fuk it, I'm betting it lolComment -
Hey guys, I just joined the forum & have been looking through some of the posts. I am a regular at one of the other handicapping forums. I can see why you think GT looks to good to be true....because it is. If I play this game, which is probably best left alone, I will be on UGA for several reasonsComment -
^^^The books also know that there are a bunch of guys like you that bet based solely on line movement and fading the public, etc. Fading the public isn't necessarily smart. Sharp money get's burned as well.
I don't put much stock in RLM. It's an important indicator but it's a little below home field and weather IMO. I look at both teams and look for advantages and disadvantages in personnel. I try to predict what schemes each team will face and how they will handle it. I look at coaching and how they will prepare for the game. Oline versus Dline, skilled positions in all 3 phases, etc. There's a lot more to capping a game then just looking at line movement. I also wouldn't place a bet just because one team plays in another conference.Comment -
line has moved up to 7.5 at most places. The paper has GT -8.5 but I can't find that anywhereComment -
Won't be closeComment -
this line smells a bit like the alabama line yesterday. it should be double digits but it's not. books want the public to plow into GT. GT should walk this in, but....I smell a rat. Treat with caution.Comment -
line is at -9 nowComment -

late steam coming in
Comment -
line is going up big time. not familiar with steam, can someone please briefly explain.
Either way the line last year was 7.5 also, but with Georgia favored and Tech pulled the unthinkable with the world backing Georgia and this year it is total opposite. The whole world is backing Tech and Georgia getting no respect and tonight is the night they just might prove it. Tech has one more important game left with an ACC championship on the line and a possible bowl bid and we see how that turned out for Clemson as they got shocked by South Carolina.Last edited by og4667; 11-28-09, 07:22 PM.Comment -

gonna be a shootout
or maybe a runoutComment -
hey, my bankroll is approaching empty.
these "this game is so obvious" threads seem to lose almost every time. don't get me wrong, i think they're obvious too.
not that that it either game is near over, but the stanford/ND is in the same camp. stanford was completely obvious but stanford has a ton of work to do to cover (problem is they only care about winning game)Comment -
Stanford was far from an obvious pick imo and in most threads I read. I would have picked ND if i had to choose. GT seemed to good to be true. I somehow resisted and stayed away from both games...Comment -
gotta be proud uga fan took the +300 college football ya never know did south carolina win too oh wow cash daddy we goin to sizzlerComment -
most folks have a short memory
same shit last year.
lets see if UGA can stay away from the vintage UGA and hold on...Comment
