    Lets get some money back from last weeks sorta disaster
    Wow, last week really kicked my ass, but I guess I'm still learning (mostly learning that betting a ton of games is hard on the wallet)...My big Arizona play put me in a bind when they failed to cover....well failed to win....and though I won more games than lost going in big on one game put me in the red. Anyhow, "moving forward" (as my colleague Vegas Dave says ) I am going to pick a max of 8 games this week and hope to win something back here...Really like Pags plays here this week and will follow others a bit too...

    Also I will be away from my little "command center" this week as having this only leads to chasing... I have 2 computers and two Tvs set up so I can have 3 games on at all times and 1 computer on yahoo gamechannel to follow scores...As my early games started to look bad I added some quick, uninformed plays and when the early games turned around and cashed, the latter ones didn't and I was back to point A.... an easy no no for sure, but requires discipline to avoid this behavior...This weekend I'll be in the mountains visiting family and will not have the luxury of multiple channels which I see as only being a good thing........Anyways

    Some early leans....

    MSU +3.5 ..(strong lean)....At home with a chance to challenge for B10 crown
    Mizzou +7.....2 evenly matched teams IMO...like the points
    Air Force -4 ....(strong lean) Runs all over a UNLV D and controls clock all game
    Ga Tech- 2.5...ACC's finest versus Clem's disaster season
    Miss +13.5....Is Bama for real? didnt look so against KU
    VT +2.5.....BC has weakest schedule to go 4-1
    Uconn -1 ....(strong lean)...Rutgers sux
    BYU pick....Great O vs. okay O, and evenly matched Ds?
    Arizona pick.....Even though they F'd me I still like em......@ home
    WMU +3 ....(strong lean) Rivalry schmivalry.... Tim Hiller 25 tds to 5 INTs!!

    Anyhow guys....I think the lines this week look more favorable than last week and I hope we take a little back here this weekend.....GL all

    I'm on Ohio State, so needless to say disagree with this one

    Very, very tough to pick against Texas back at home... can't disagree with you that Mizzou is awfully tough to stop and may shoot out til the end, but that is risky business picking against Texas!

    Like it, though UNLV has been awfully pesky this season.

    Yeah, hard to believe Clemson won't right the ship eventually, but hard to endorse them as terrible as they've been.

    I liked this game myself... but I'm a little concerned that it isn't proper value at +13.5 since Ole Miss has that giant-killer reputation now after beating Florida. Could easily see Miss giving Bama fits here, but have this strange feeling it Bama might cruise and surprise a lot of people.

    Agree, they sure do.

    I'm leaning BYU too, but this TCU defense did hold Oklahoma to just 35 IN Oklahoma, and this is BYU's first real road game since Washington... very scary game.

    Cal is overrated, and with Best out, they are very beatable in this spot. Can't really take Zona anymore though until I see them beat a real team.

    On the road? You are a gambling man.

    ...There's my two cents .

    Good luck this week sir
