            liking USF.

            also like wisky to wax the huskers, the points dont scare me as i dont think neb equipped to handle this team in that place.

            leaning clemson but may just be cause dont have much feel for vtech, figure tech will run a plenty but clem seems like a tough team to keep up with right now and getting a td is tempting.

            Happy stanford back on the schedule this week, love my super "square" trees to cover every week. 3tds doesnt seem like that much to ask with the way they seem to enjoy rolling ppl to try and prove themselves.

              haven't capped Wisky or Clemson yet (will today), but lean towards both of them. i keep up with VT pretty well (my sister went there), and they are not all that good this year. although they will certainly be tough at home, 7 points is a lot to give Clemson with that offense and how hot they have been. everyone is waiting for Clemson to have their annual collapse, and it might happen, but i saw no signs of it the last two weeks - they've looked great.

              will check out Stanford too, and of course, GT/NCSU over. the way i see it, GT and Kansas this year are a lot like Wisky and Michigan last year, and i rode over for both UW and UM all season last year.

                I like USF, but I also like the under in that one. Thoughts?

                So glad to see you on that Kansas/TT over...going to be on that one as well, but neither of my locals release NCAAF totals till late Thursday, early Friday (pussies). Just hoping I don't get stuck with too bad of a number or I will have to lay off.

                My only play so far this week is Michigan State over Ohio State. Sparty has the much better offense, much better qb and a comparable defense. I'll take the +3.5 in that one, but I think Sparty wins outright.

                Almost forgot, what is your guys' take on Alabama and Florida? Am I the only square that is going to pound Alabama if -3 becomes available? I may even buy the half point if possible. I know Florida is the sexy "sharp" pick because of Weis, Muschamp and the athleticism of the players, but Bama will hit you in the mouth and then laugh at you for crying.
                Once MLB is over, I will be around these parts more often. Good luck Biff, BD and Zulu

                  LTA as you can see by my plays being "square" dont scare me as it pays the bills just as often as being "sharp", if Bama hits -3 i will be all over them, hell i might play them anyway, the way i see it if fla wins so be it.

                    Let me preface this by saying that I am an Alabama fan through and through. I hardly ever bet on Bama to cover because A. They historically have a terrible track record of covering and B. Although I know more about them then any other team, I don't like to take the chance that I am letting my emotions get in the way of a smart bet.


                    Anyway, I love Bama to cover this game. We have a built up frustration with Florida from the last 15 years, and we will take any chance possible to take it out on them. Brantley is a great QB, but he hasn't faced a secondary anywhere close to what he will see tomorrow this year. As we saw last year, he can be pressured into forcing passes and making other bad decisions. Our secondary is not only ball hungry (especially deep), but also fast enough to cause big losses in screens and passes to the flat. Our DB's are athletic enough to match up with any of Florida's backs. We have so much depth that we will constantly have fresh players in, and will give more defensive looks than Weiss can keep up with. The media tries to portray Bama as being weak in the front four. This is not the case. They are young, but very talented. Florida's running backs are extremely fast, but not big enough to run through the tackles often. Weiss will attack mostly with his running game, but a one trick pony will not win this game for the Gators. Maze proved last week that he is more explosive than Julio Jones was on special teams last year. We have a chance for points or at least a short field on every kick.

                    Florida has a very good defense as well, but I don't see any way they can keep up with Richardson and Lacey. They are even more of a deadly duo than Ingram and Richardson. Bama, again, is young but very deep and talented at Wide Out. Our running game will open up big plays down field.

                    I would murder this game if it hit -3.

                      Also, these are my early thoughts for this weekend. I will try to get online in time to actually lock them in, but I can make any promises as me and the wife are hitting the Casinos in Tunica this weekend.

                      USF -2.5
                      Minn +20
                      BC +3.5
                      Tenn -28
                      GT -9.5
                      W Mich +8.5
                      Mich St +3.5
                      Baylor -3.5
                      UGA -6
                      UAB +16
                      Penn St -16
                      Bama -3.5


                      I am trying to get this list narrowed before tomorrow, if anyone has advice on which they think I should drop. Detail always greatly appreciated.

                        sorry just getting back to you, LTA, work really got away from me today. i have that game USF, 30-23, so right on the number. that said, i could definitely see an under there with USF's ability to generate pressure, Pitt's crappy o-line and USF's running game. 23 points for Pitt was me trying to forecast a max for purposes of the spread.

                        i haven't capped Bama/UF yet, but i'm in a big money CFB pool that is due at 3 pm every Thursday, and Bama/UF is one of the games in the pool, so i will be getting well into that one tonight. MSU/OSU will of course be on the slate tonight, too, although i know that i won't bet that game. in-laws are going down to it, though. initially, i would lean Sparty.

                        btw, LTA, tailed your Cubs pick last night because i'm up and wanted a little action while i started digging into the CFB card. nice hit, pal.

                          excellent stuff on that game, zulu, always love your Bama insights. will be listening to Finebaum on my drive home in a few minutes and i'm sure that this game will be the #1 topic.

                            will be looking at some of those tonight and will report back with any thoughts. that one that jumps out that i'm not particularly fond of is BC. i think that they are real dogshit this year, although +3' home dog gives you a nice cushion against a team like Wake, which is no prize in their own right. think you're probably right on Sparty, unfortunately. i would not even consider NC State (contra GT) or UF (contra Bama). both GT and Bama are locomotives right now, and NC State looks terrible.

                              Name dropping eh? I can't stand Finbaum or his show. It is too sensationalist. They would much rather talk about who is under investigation than actually talking football. The callers are amusing at times. I used to listen to his show but luckily a new sports station has picked up Tim Brando in the evening here.

                                oh the Finebaum show is pretty hard to listen to. it has its moments when he has good guests, but all things considered, the reason that i listen to it on the way home is that it's better than Gottleib (what isn't) or PTI. the one sports talk show that i like a lot is Bill King, been listening to that over Stern in the morning since CFB started. they have a capper in to discuss games on Thursday, then Phil Steele on Friday. i would imagine that Brando's show is good.

                                  with you on Bama Zulu. To me this line crazy, ill take bama -3 vs pretty much anyone in the country.

                                  think you a little crazy looking to back BC, then again WF is no prize themselves. This actually be the 1st week im off the fade BC bandwagon but simply because of Wake..i know 1 damn thing for certain, this wont be easy to watch....

                                          i'm not excited about it, but it doesn't bother me that much. these books play fkn reindeer games sometimes, and the Middies always give a solid effort. should be good so long as Middies don't give away a bunch of turnovers, they want the Commander in Chief trophy bad. i maybe locked it in earlier than i should've.

                                              This game just seems like a total toss-up to me. I don't see any value here.

                                                  think you a little crazy looking to back BC, then again WF is no prize themselves. This actually be the 1st week im off the fade BC bandwagon but simply because of Wake..i know 1 damn thing for certain, this wont be easy to watch....
                                                  Yeah, I think that one is going in the trash pile. It originally caught my eye because there aren't many teams I wouldn't like if they are getting points vs Wake.

                                                    I actually decided to do a small weekday parlay this week, to see if I could play with "house money" this weekend.

                                                        i like both Bama and Clemson. waiting to see if we can get -3 on Bama, and trying to decide if i like the over better than Clemson (if the game plays out the way that i see it, Clemson and over are the plays, and a little reluctant to take the dog in a shoot-out).

                                                            line movement is definitely evening out at the moment. jumped from -2' -113 to -3 -125 at Pinny and -3 -105 to -4 -110 at 5D in the last ten minutes

                                                                i think it's Navy, 26-17. glad i got -3 (-105). i expected the number to go to 3' and up, just thought it would happen earlier. might be worth considering buying it to 3 if 3' is all that's available to you. i'll buy a hook to buy a push (pay juice to avoid juice), but i don't buy a hook to buy a win (that's why i bought the hook with USF).

If they can beat Nebraska by 9 or 10 I'll be surprised. They're playing the big boys now. Going to tail your USF play tonite - gosh I hate Pitt. Anyway a few more weeks of going to northern WI on weekends - then I'll be back to give you some support and poop. GL
