Nice picks NoCoin. I was also on Louisville and the over (for less). Wasn't even thinking they would win outright. I felt better about my bets when I read you liked the same. Good Luck today.

Thanks Biff. I appreciate it. Don't like the fact that you lost on the same play, though.

that's the way that it goes, NC. one of us was going to lose. if i had to lose, i'm glad to see that you won, pal. took care of my frustrations (well at least some of them) with some 6 am hoops.

Ducks, 37-34, so lean K State and under. like K State enough to play them, but waiting and pondering. speaking of tilt, though, i am on it. 1-9-1 since end of Music City Bowl (CFB and hoops combined).

Kazzlar · 01-03-13, 11:45 AM

I was there up until last night -- even with my Wisconsin hits. LSU really put a dent in my record.

Well, Florida did have four wins over Top-12 BCS teams. Louisville's schedule, on the other hand, was one of the worst in the nation.

UF's defense is elite. The line was inflated, yes, but it's not like you can make the third-ranked team in the country -6 against a team that wasn't even in the Top-20 and limping into their bowl game.

you cant live off a defense...4 wins? did I miss something? FSU DOES NOT BELONG ANYWHERE NEAR TOP 12.....south carolina game, did you watch that one? south carolina lost that one on their own.....only TD they scored on LSU was when minter got hurt and some backup bitch LB for a series....their crappy offense is not good and you cant thrive off trick plays.....but ya I guess you could say "they beat a few top 10 teams" but that doesnt mean theyre "good" or the line was anywhere near what it should have been. I would have taken louisville just based on these facts but I pretty much stopped betting on teams I havent watched at all thru the season so I laid off....

Again, I bet big against Florida so I pretty much agree with you especially re: where the line was placed -- this was a very one-dimensional team with no offense to speak of -- but if you don't have Florida ranked No. 3 and FSU isn't in the Top-12, where should these teams be ranked? And more importantly, who do you rank ahead of them? Teams are rewarded and ranked based on wins and losses, not style points. In case you haven't noticed by watching other bowl games, there aren't many "good" teams out there period.

Not sure I'm taking anything. Still lean Oregon despite the apparent RLM.

this is gonna be a fun game....i dont know how you can sit out especially after a hit like last night. strike while the iron is hot bro...

Dexter · 01-03-13, 05:06 PM

one of things you probably saw in my thread, was that i put a lot of stock into the fact that this hung around 9 (right under a key # for so long) and never made it to 10 - in fact then dropping to 8 with the public being on the ducks. curious to hear your take on my angle with kstate......on top of that, from a matchup standpoint - they are actually pretty good vs the run - not that i expect them to shut down oregon. but perhaps for a few drives to keep this one close or win su.

Yeah, you're right re: the number. It's not the public driving it closer to 7. However, unless it actually gets to 7, I don't see that big of a deal there.

I'll probably pass because no one really knows how Oregon will play with the distractions re: Kelly. And Pauly's right -- I'm kind of a K-State hater. It's more Klein than anything else. I think K-State's D is pretty solid -- especially their corners. And their turnover margin speaks for itself.

I'd say if K-State hangs around on the scoreboard, they might win SU. But if they get behind early and Klein has to start throwing....as I've said before, he makes Tebow look like Montana.

Dexter · 01-03-13, 05:26 PM

im no football scout, but his throwing mechanics are painful to watch.

Yep.

I just know that if I take Oregon, the magic of this program will come to life. K-State will have 150 yards of total offense, recover 6 unforced fumbles, have 5 picks fall into their laps and win 31-30. That's the kind of team they are.

Definitely a tough call with some of the variables involved. My gut is telling me to stay away from this one other than maybe including K-State in a teaser I'm putting together for the weekend/title game.

suicidekings · 01-03-13, 05:56 PM

How unusual is it for Bodog to have the best price on a ML fave? Seems like that never happens, correct? That's currently the place to go for the Oregon ML...

JT OZ · 01-03-13, 06:08 PM

Also congrats on the big hit last night, had to be nice watching it unfold with the outcome never really in doubt.

Pretty unusual. The ML for this game looks about 50/50 with the public -- maybe slightly favoring the Ducks.

BettingWizard · 01-03-13, 06:59 PM

if you want a pure value play, take First score FG +380

What do you think about the side in this one BW?

BettingWizard · 01-03-13, 07:04 PM

K state, but ill wait til half........although i will say you're better off just betting Oregon under 41, since that would probably have to happen for them to cover

No coincidences · 01-03-13, 10:54 PM

Oregon's just too good. Going about like I figured it would -- but worse. Should've played the Ducks dammit. Oh well.

Why do I get the feeling that blocked XP might play a role in the -3 2H line?

No coincidences · 01-04-13, 06:57 PM

OKL +3.5 (2.3U to win 2)
OKL TT over 34.5 (1.1U to win 1)
OKL +10/over 65 (1.15U to win 1)

If I could get the 4.5 or more that was available a while back, I'd take this bigger. This might be a Wisconsin situation where you would've been better off getting the good number early.

BettingWizard · 01-04-13, 07:36 PM

Okie plus 10 is gold, hoping to get that as a halftime line.
