I wouldn't play on Houston in a Pac 10 stadium without Keenum. If I had to play this I would be taking UCLA +3, no they haven't shown much this year but Kansas St and Stanford aren't exactly your traditional Week 1-Week 2 cake walks. Those games have toughened them up and I think that if Keenum isn't in you can't back a QB with no experience playing against this caliber opponent.

bol with the plays BJ.Comment -
I like the thread and the writeups, good luck this week. I am trying to find out what happened to Zach Lee the former QB for Nebraska. He played a bit in the first game but can't find any info on why he isn't playing anymore??? Because I do think your right about Martinez being the freshman QB in a hostile environment and I think it will have an impact.Comment -
Prove to me that you made bets with these fictitious lines. Wash +3.5? Really? Arkansas +3? NC St. an UNDERDOG? Do you need attention that bad that you would cheat in a stupid forum like this? What a douchebag. You should totally put money on Alabama -7 @ Duke this week."You Can't Outfox a Fox" -Dapper Capper
Comment -
Yup I am dying for attention. Is it that insane or what? NC State opened at Bookmaker at +3 on the 12th. My local opened the line at +1.5 on 9/13 and I grabbed ML at +110. Washington was +3.5 yesterday on The Greek they were as high as +4.5. Arkansas I got at +3 on Legends at about noon on 9/14.
Getting the best available line is important to me, if that means having money with two locals, TheGreek, 5 Dimes, Legends, Bookmaker, Bodog, and RebateWager then so be it. Just because you are stuck with one set of lines doesn't mean we all are. Know what you are talking about before you come at me.Comment -
By the way, if you don't want to take my word for it we have this site here called sbrodds.com which I am sure if you are willing to research some of these lines you will find out how moronic you are.Comment -
You're luck you got NC State at + money, BJ.
Something tells me this one goes right down to the wire, and the Wolfpack don't cover the -2.5 or -3.Comment -
Anybody who uses the word 'Blowjob' to attract people to click on his thread, is starving for attention, I assure you. Whether these lines exist or not, I guarantee that you don't bet on those lines, you jus tuse the best possible line to make your picks look better. We both know thats what you do, so there's no beed for you to repsond to this, 'Giveme aBJ'. So juvenile."You Can't Outfox a Fox" -Dapper Capper

Juvenile? I'm only 21 guy. My bad if I want to act like a dumb college kid while I can still get away with it. The blowjob title has nothing to do with attention, it's just something different. I'm on a site filled with degenerate scumbags who like to joke around and have fun. Givemeabj is just a name I thought was funny at the time so whatever, I didn't know if I would be on this site for an hour or a week or as long as I have been. The bottom line is I don't care who clicks my thread, I don't care who has to say what, I post my plays because I like being able to look back in my history and see what I played and why. I also like the discussion about the games. If I use the best possible line then why didn't I play Minnesota +14? Why didn't I play Nevada +4.5, Washington +4.5. I use the best possible line in my books. If I didn't bet these plays and lines I wouldn't waste my time pretending I did. I have nothing to prove to any of you and I don't give a **** what any of you think of me.
If you don't like it there is a little ignore button you can press to make me dissappear forever. But, you won't press that button. You have nothing better to do in your pathetic life then to come on here and try to crticize people who are just trying to enjoy and talk about a hobby they all love.Comment -
Originally posted by masr;6399***with you on a couple...good luck with your playsGood luck guys. As for Zach Lee I am pretty sure they have moved to past him. I don't see any injuries. I am fairly sure he is 2nd string. He took a lot of heat from the fanbase last year.Comment -
thanks for the info. Both Pac10 schools wahington and arizona have big games this weekend and doubt they both loose, I am on Iowa also but just lean nebraska. Overall the Pac 10 isn't all that, really starting to be more about Big10/Big 12 football. Good luck with your plays.Comment -
Good luck on the pics bro, looks like the first one will hit.Comment -
BJ don't worry about this idiot. Arkansas was at +3 half the week and UW was +3.5 for a while too.

Nice easy hit on NCSU. They have absolutely dominated from the opening kickoff.

I really think the Pac 10 is getting a raw deal this year. I'm not sold on the Big 12. OU/Texas aren't powerhouses this year in my opinion. Haven't really decided on what Nebraska is but this week should tell us a lot about them. The Pac 10 isn't loaded with big names but Stanford is very good. I think Washington, Arizona, Oregon, Oregon State, and USC are all good teams. Only time will tell though.
Hey, haters come and go. You see it with every handicapper. Anyone on a hot streak or putting up a great year takes flack. It happens to Paco, Lakerboy, everyone. They either get labeled attention whores or take shit about how they aren't as good as their record. If he wants to be ignorant and try to say I am not really betting these games then so be it, I will never be able to tell him otherwise. Anyone with a head on their shoulders knows where the lines were. If I wanted the best line I would have claimed to bet NC St +3, Wash +4.5, etc. I am not doing this for forum fame or to acctract the SBR groupies. I am doing this because I want to and I like have record of my picks and doing these write ups.
I'm glad you appreciate it. Good luck on all our sides, I really like the totals I played this week as well. And yes 68% is something to notice but I am by no means a 68% capper. I don't really think anyone is. But hot streaks come and go and this run has given me a nice little head start to the season.
Nope! I didn't expect an absolute beating either. I was thinking maybe a 14 point win or 10 point win but that game was done from the start. I knew that if Cincy couldn't run the ball it would be trouble but I didn't think they would be out of it from that early.Comment -
Sometimes we underestimate the homefield advantage at college games - especially at night and especially on weeknights. Carter Finley was electric last night and that's a huge boost to a home team. It's so much more about emotion and passion in college ball. The students get crazy for national TV, they've got a nice buzz on by kickoff, and it's just LOUD and WILD. It would have been tough for Alabama to come in there and beat NCSU last night, much less a mediocre Cincinnati team on 5 days rest.
This whole theory is what makes me like Nevada and Southern Miss even more tonight. Look at all the people scratching their heads about that Cal/Nevada line. I think they are underestimating the effect of that weeknight home game against a national power for a mid major school that is pretty damn good. Cal will get their best shot tonight and I expect the crowd to be rowdy.Comment -
Good hit on NC State, thanks for the picks.Comment -
I like the Texas pick, though I would have been more patient. I think the line is going to drop here, but I play in Vegas where you get a place or two that will drop lines for reasons other than to balance their plays out. I also think Iowa is a solid play. They must win this game if they want to keep any hopes of a trip to Glendale alive.
I am waiting on East Carolina to get to +21. While Va.Tech has played terribly this season, on paper, they are still far superior than East Carolina. I'll wait and see on that game. I am not going to play the Houston-UCLA game either, but to call the Rose Bowl a home field advantage for UCLA is a stretch. They have the worst fans and alumni support of any Pac 10 school. Even Washington State fans, the few that they are, are much more active.Comment -
Well here is the thing, home fields can completley change games in college. Would Alabama have went in there and got beat? I don't think so. But, while the crowd was wild you have to take it for what it's worth. NC St was just better. Cincy can't run the ball and can't protect the passer. You can't win on the road giving up sacks and trying to air it out. Yea, the crowd boosted them but I don't think you can just play home teams and win on week nights. Personally, I don't know about that Southern Miss game, it is one I just can't figure out but that Nevada game isn't going to be hugely effected by the crowd. Nevada's home field isn't intimidating to a school like Cal, it's rather small and Cal has gone into bigger buildings against better teams and won. I think Nevada wins but I don't know if home field effects the game all that much. However, Thursday nights, certain home teams are money. Look at Rutgers and what they have done on Thursdays going all the way back to the win over #2 Louisville. I have been to the last 2 years when they played on Thursday. Two years ago they destroyed Louisville and put up 60 something points. Then last year they beat the crap out of So Fla (who was ranked) 31-0. I don't think Nevada falls under the category of a team you want to bet on based on home field. It won't hurt but don't go too crazy looking at some of these home teams and thinking they are going to blow the other team out.
Appreciate the insight. I took Texas at -3 because I couldn't really get a feel for where the line would go and didn't want to get stuck buying down to 3 from 3.5. The Rose Bowl isn't going to change many games or intimidate many people but going into a Pac 10 stadium is still a difficult thing to do for a team like Houston especially if it is going to be without Keenum.Comment -
There's still something in the air when an "underdog" or a program that doesn't get much respect and has a good team plays a big time program on national tv ....on a weeknight when they are the only game on TV. I've been to games like that and I swear there is just something different about it. There's a certain....almost desperation in the air. I don't think the size of the crowd is all that important. It's just a vibe...an atmosphere that not only lifts the home team but in a way can suffocate the visitors.Comment -
your plays just like your pic man ... bol.Comment -
This game has me most confused. The Trojans can't get out of their own way and I don't care what anyone says, Kiffin is not a great coach. He pulled the starters in the 3rd quarter against Hawaii and it almost bit him in the end. The offense was inept against a mediocre Virgina team, and that was AT HOME! I think a lot of bettors (like me) were betting on history expecting them to cover the last two weeks. This is, so far, a rather pedestrian team. I think tomorrow's game will foreshadow the season: either they get it together and paste the Gophers on their way to a top 12 ranking (not that it'll matter), or they eke out a win (or a loss) and limp through a forgettable season.
BTW, who is pictured in your avatar? Looks familiar, but can't place the name.Comment -
Hi og4667... not to hijack BJs great thread but I did not see that this was answered... Nebraska had a big 3 QB race in the fall between Zac Lee, Cody Green and Taylor Martinez (only 2 viable Qbs in the Spring because Lee was out with shoulder surgery) and Martinez who was a redshirt frosh dazzled the coaches enough to win the starting role... Martinez was actually quite the practice star last season and all the rumors were that he was going to be a big name star very soon.. He has not let anyone down as a he looks ultra smooth running the spread option and has shockingly quick feet and speed... He seems to be a decent passer but the real test on that will come tomorrow in Seattle... He has passed the eye test with flying colors... sometimes guys just look like they are great football players and this kid has that easy on the eye style of play.
I know everyone thinks this is a big trap game but I fully expect Nebraska to be very prepared...lost in all this is Nebraska's defense who has not allowed more than 20 pts in a game for 10 straight games going back to last season... I know for a fact that Nebraska will score at least 21 pts tomorrow so I see a win and a cover...Comment -
I agree with this. There is definitley a thing about these games where like last week Marshall was much more amped for that game then WVU was and Marshall ran out to the lead. Then WVU finally said, enough is enough and made the comeback. However, I really think that while the crowd is important to have on your side I think this game will be won more on the premise of Cal being overrated and historical losers of these "swing games". I think Nevada doesn't match up terrible against Cal and I think it will be a close game and Nevada sneaks out a win. Good luck.
I am leaning towards them limping towards the forgettable season. I don't think Lane Kiffin is anything, I think he hurts teams more then he helps. I think Minnesota can control the clock and keep it out of Barkleys hands. The USC defense looked better last week but they don't look as good as past years just in the never give up let's hit somebody type of feel I used to get from them. Tori Black is in the picture BTW.
Man all information and opinions are welcomes. Good info there I wasn't really sure what had happened to him either. I just knew last year he took a lot of heat from fans and that this Martinez kid was supposed to be special. If Nebraska is ever going to give up 20 points it will be tomorrow. I can see a 24-21 Washington win. Or maybe even a 17-13 game. Good luck.Comment -

2H Kansas o24 (1x)
Not chasing here really like this line. We saw the pace pick up in the 2nd quarter. You had the penalty on that big play in the 1st quarter and that good drive stalled by a terrible throw on a wide receiver reverse pass. The fact Kansas is down 18 helps this bet out. So Miss won't slow the pace until late in the game, Kansas will keep the fast pace and if this one doesn't hit by the middle of the 4th a garbage TD will backdoor us home.Comment -
