The thread title should say it all. If I were to post my actual record over the last couple of years I could never show my face in public again, so instead I will post my picks anonymously on a website to save myself the ridicule. Not much of a write up will accompany these either, do what you will with them. I'll keep track.
All plays are flat bet 1 unit plays. Here we go...
Arizona -7 vs. UTSA (Having watched both team last week I am not sold on either but will a that AZ has some athletes. AZ's O will be able to make a few more plays than UTSA O and possibly in special team dept.)
Green Bay vs. Seattle Over 46.5 (GB always as a solid O but less than stellar D. Seattle's O is primed for a breakout this year but the D is not what it was last year)
K-State -11.5 vs. ISU (K-State licking their chops, ISU got stomped by ND State and starting lineman leaving team, sounds like a meltdown to me)
Western Kentucky +6 vs. Illinois ( I was impressed with WKU manhandling BGSU last week, not so much with Illinois, I'll take the points)
Mich. State +13.5 vs. Oregon (Me thinks the tortoise may be able to keep it respectable with the hare)
Texas +1 vs. BYU (Charlie Strong has them playing defense and they will grind this one out at home, UT too proud to let the beating from last year stand)
Hawaii +10 vs. Oregon State ( OregonState lost a lot from last year and Hawaii has that desire to keep it close and lose a squeaker as usual at the end but cover)
VT +11.5 vs. OSU ( I am a VT fan so total homer alert, do not play this with me if you value your money...Go Hokies)
VT could win today. I like it. Seems like the K-state pick is a no brainer so u have to wonder..... anyway I took the bait too. Also played the over 54 in that game.
Felt like I should have been 3-3 but ended up 2-4. I really thought I should have had the Mich. State game and deserved to lose the K State game and WTF was I thinking with Texas. To everyone crying about Hawaii covering I guess they are overlooking the gifts the refs gave Oregon State in that game. Trust me, I'm in Hawaii and watch this crap they put on each week so I know the team pretty well. Game ended like it should have, 7-8 point loss and a Hawaii cover. Anyways folks, take care and on to next week.
Georgia -6 vs. South Carolina ( UGA defense is somewhat improved and running game will go into high gear for this one, SC D will wear in late stages of game)
Virginia +7 vs. Louisville ( A low scoring affair that VA will hang around in as their D is pretty decent and they will run the rock and chew up clock to keep it close)
La Tech +4 vs. UNT (Taking the more balanced team with the points. UNT blew out a crap SMU team last week but could only muster 95 yds offense against TX, no passing game. La Tech can run and pass will load box and force UNT to pass. Take La Tech in this one)
My picks for Saturday, too many for write ups. Good luck folks
Georgia and UVA from post early in week.
Georgia Southern +17
West Virginia +3
Arkansas +1
UCLA -7 ( purely because I hate TX)
UMASS +22.5
indiana/BGSU Under 74
Oklahoma -20.5
Southern Cal -17
Early plays this week that I have already locked in.
Auburn -8.5 vs. KSU (The big boys and ground game of Auburn are going to wear these jokers down, just too much speed for War Eagle)
UVA +16 vs. BYU (This game will go down much like Louisville game. War in the trenches that UVA has the troops to fight, don't forget last year also, not an anomaly)
I hope not for your sake. Even though I am 11-10 on the season I haven't really been doing that poorly money wise as I did play WVU, Arkansas, Virginia, La Tech on the ML as well as VT the previous week when they beat OSU on the ML. Didn't post these as they were small online plays so I am not counting on my record. I usually like to sprinkle a bit on the ML of a game I feel decent about. I will probably do the same thing with UVA and Utah this week as I like those matchups for a shot at W's.
Best of luck to us going forward and if you have ay insight on other games share em.
Haha, good deal, wlulaxer. I am eyeing South Carolina, but haven't pulled the trigger. I don't see Vandy scoring more than 10 and I can see the gamecocks scoring close to 40. Still room for a back door there. I usually do one tease a weekend (I know, stupid) and may do one here.
I was looking at that one as well. My book has -21.5 right now, hate the hook and having to buy it. South Carolina should be up for this one as they control their own destiny in the SEC East. Vandy is god awful as well and should have lost to UMASS. Good luck my friend with whatever you play.
You see anything else on the board tat catches your interest?
I think their QB is a go (he blows though) but they did lose their best RB and LB and barely pulled off the W against Northern Iowa. Hawaii blows when they leave the island as they don't sneak up on anyone and usually just want to go home. Still looking at that VT game though. Hard for me to play as I am a VT fan.
UVA +16 vs. BYU
Colorado -7 vs. Hawaii
Arkansas -13.5 vs. Northern Illinois
Utah +4 vs. Michigan
Rutgers +6.5 vs. Navy
Oregon -23.5 vs. Wazzou
Clemson +17 vs. FSU
Nebraska -7.5 vs. Miami
Cal +9.5 vs. Arizona
Oklahoma/ WVU Over 61.5
ODU vs. MTSU Over 67 (Played this already, I'm from Norfolk and will be rooting for ODU but their D is atrocious, they can score like crazy. Good QB and receivers but an absolutely terrible D) This shoots way over
South Carolina -5 vs. Mizzou
Wisconsin/South Florida Over 51
Temple -6 vs. UCONN
Rutgers -12.5 vs. Tulane
Texas St. +3.5 vs. Tulsa
Auburn/La Tech Over 61
Notre Dame -9 vs. Syracuse
Ohio St./Cincy Over 60.5
Nebraska/Illinois Over 64
Stanford -7 vs. UW
