Knew that last little uptick to 3.5 at Pinny when no other books were doing that spelled trouble for Purdue. That's the problem with locking a play in early.

I hope my Sooners curb stomp Texas next game like we did last year and numerous other times the past decade.

Texas is atrocious.

Why is Brown still their coach?

I don't know. He has done a good job at Texas but for the talent they can pull, he probably should have won more than two conference titles. Bob Stoops has 7 and has slightly shorter tenure.

It's pretty awesome when your rival to the South supposedly has better players and recruiting classes every year and you beat them by some of these scores over the past decade.

63-14
65-13
55-17

Vince Young was the QB in that 2003, 65-13 beat down and we shut him out the next year 12-0.

Brown is very lucky Reggie Bush tried to lateral the ball for no reason and Pete Carroll went for it on 4th down at midfield or he would have no championships.

While it is time for Brown to go, I'm happy with him staying at Texas.

The Sooners seem like a pretty obvious right-side winner to me. The OK State - Texas game showed me what I needed to know about the supposedly stout Texas defense. The WVU game confirmed it. That being said, their offense is still potent and I can see a 7-10 point win, but probably not a curb stomping.

Thanks. Still have a few I'm looking at. Missed Iowa at +10, so no play there. Kind of like BYU and Miami (Fla.). Might take Virginia, Pittsburgh and/or TCU.

I'm a little shaken by last week (they burned me vs. Michigan), but I haven't been impressed with what I've seen from Wisky at all. Shaky QB play and an inconsistent defense. I don't like their body language; think there's some shit going on behind the scenes with Bielema and his staff.

Boilers have a lot of veterans and, despite last week's performance, a pretty solid defense overall (Short, Gaston, Allen, Johnson, Fletcher, etc.). WL can be a tough place to play, and they'll be desperate not to fall to 0-2 in the conference. Musical chairs at QB frustrates me, but I think Purdue comes up big in this spot on its home turf.

What are you on Banker?

2daBank · 10-13-12, 01:19 AM

yea i was on pur last week,,that why i asked, lol..also been hearing that wiscy is fixing problems but hell if i know, ive worked every sat and honestly havnt watched a whole lot as havnt had enough time for ncaa and nfl replays, lol...

not a whole lot..billysink put me on buf +14.5 and i respect his opinion so i played that..

i like fresno +7 and little on ml....boise just isnt that good and think it high time fresno got a little payback.. 108-7 last 2 yrs and im taking ml, lol..

trying to avoid every square bone in my body and not play wvu but so hard...feel same bout bama, and i do watch almost all of mizzou, they really bad, maybe pinkle and saban being tight keeps this close for a while but even 2nd team will outclass and batter tigers i think,,,so tempting those 2,,,,im such a square

t-wizzle · 10-13-12, 01:20 AM

I liked LSU at the beginning of the week but now I am all over SC. I'm convinced the Tigers are overrated this year and the offense just isn't that good right now.

Besides that though I think you could have gotten a better number on LSU if you waited. Strong feeling that line moves down to at least -2.5.

Agree, but Wisky has owned Purdue for quite some time now. This would be like a quintuple revenge game (at least). Can't remember how many in a row it is.

I still do, yes. Just wish I'd waited and grabbed a better line.

jihadvillager · 10-13-12, 09:19 AM

I got -2. hopefully it wont matter in the end

Definitely playing Purdue.

Playing Oklahoma over Texas as well. It's a homer bet but whatever. This game is only once a year.

As homer bets go, this is a pretty good one, I would say.

I'm curious what you think about this game. I'm on the Cardinals ML (-123) and feel like they're being heavily undervalued today.

Pitt is the true definition of a gamble. They are (once again) a Top-25 team on paper. It's a risk no doubt, but I like the idea of getting 3 in a home game for them against a Louisville squad that I feel still has flaws and hasn't really shown much week-to-week improvement. Now with that being said, the Cards could come out and win by 3 TD's and I wouldn't be surprised at all. Like I said, Pitt is erratic in every sense of the word.
