    NEED ADVICE! I have $120 in my account...
    I have $120 in my account and I need some winners for college football this weekend. For the first half of the year I bet teasers and the past few weeks I have bet individual games. I am 54% on the year but would love some advice. What would you bet on this weekend if you were me? Would you break the $120 up into several games? Maybe bet a few parlays as well or would you put it all on one game?

    Any advice is very much appreciated.

    do a two team parlay for the 9 oclocks on Saturday morning.

    If it hits, proceed to rollover onto ONE game you like in the evening slate.

    Any thing else would be too risky, and would end in imminent failure.

          It's 120 dollars. Do you really care that much about what happens to it?

              Don't listen to these guys on Purdue. They got killed vs. Illinois last week. Put some on Boston College -3 vs. Wake Forest. The Deamon Deacons are dreadful this year.

                Western Michigan for tomorrow night +3.5 would be a good start..... On Saturday I'm most comfortable with:

                Army
                Nebraska
                Illinois
                Nevad
                Wyoming

                  Fishmonger,

                  No I don't really give a **** about the $120 but I am just curious what peoples favorite picks are this weekend and their betting strategies. I also imagine other people would like to know as well.

                  Thanks for your great post... that was really helpful.

                    Bet $22 each on--
                    Army
                    Illinois
                    Baylor
                    Arizona
                    Kan St

                    Take remaining $10 bill and bet a 5 team money line parlay.

                        thanks, I agree Wake is terrible. They are 3-5 ATS this year. I also like Western Michigan.

                          I notice a lot of pepole are on Army. Air Force has been a pretty decent team this year. Why do you guys like Army so much?

                            Air Force is waaaaaaaaaay overrated in my opinion and Army has played good ball all year long.... Not to mention in a big Rivalry like this 6.5 points is just way to much for to fairly evenly matched teams IMO

                              Because they could end up winning straight up.....

                                Boise is my favorite play. Hawaii has yet to see a defense like Boise. I know the defense is over rated but it is still a lot better than any defense that Hawaii has played. I feel like this might be a replay of Georgia in 07. I know people are using the La Tech game as an example of the Boise defense getting exposed but La Tech had a good run game. And Boise was beating them by 36 until the bscrubs came in. Hawaii can not run the ball at all. Hawaii will get down quick and Boise will just tee off on that qb all day. San Diego st over Colorado st looks good to me also.

                                      ohio bobcats -15.5 at home against the Buffalo Bulls is my pick. Check my thread for full analysis of this pick.. all points towards ohio covering the spread

                                      best of luck

                                          Buffalo +16 better total defense. They cannot score but can keep Ohio out by 16. Read my post i just put up. Buffalo is 2-1 last 3 vs. Ohio / lost last year by 3 points....
                                          they always get up for this game...

                                            I'm new to this forum but I am an ACC-junkie..sadly enough. BC -3 is a very solid bet, Wake's offense is in shambles and their secondary is a joke. Vtech -13 tonight is my highest rated ACC pick of the week though. Jump on it.

                                              I would put it all on Oregon minus whatever the line is.

                                                Ohio minus the points is definitely the play against Buffalo, though I wouldn't rate it nearly as high as Virginia Tech. Though I hate Vtech, they are clicking right now and Georgia Tech is a team in shambles. They do not have one quality win this season, and after seeing them in person they will not even compete with Virginia Tech. Vtech by 20+

                                                    Please don't listen to the guy or guys that said Purdue. Wisconsin is for real and will win by no less than 30 against purdue who may be starting a backup QB in this one

                                                      Just curious Houlihans but why do you like Louisville? Cuse has been killing it defensively they seem for real

                                                        I agree with the BC -3 game. Yes BC has been dreadful, but they have a solid D. Offensive is gelling late in the season. Great field goal kicker. Put it all on BC at 330, then have fun during the evening games.

                                                            Army

                                                            Illinois
                                                            Nevad
                                                            Wyoming

                                                            be careful of the Nebraska game. I'm a huge fan and I'm confident that Iowa State will keep this one close.

                                                              Martinez is hurt and wont play the full game.

                                                                  UCF -2 for 25 if I were you tonight. I'd roll that up onto Florida -14 for the morning game, and then when I hit that for 200 I'd put 200 on TCU -4.5. That's my plan anyways.
