no way arizona goes fav mike

[TonyP]

i'll leave it to you guys to agree on 3 this week, i think we should stick w/plan all in on 3

sounds good, however when are we suppose to make plays, like now the Arizona line is dropping and if the team waits will be no good.

I was kind of being sarcastic but it already dropped from +3 to +1 and its only Tuesday ,despite most of the money coming in on the Giants.

[zebra58]

guess we should all agree or we end up like last week w/diff plays? unless you guys want to play it like last week

I took them at +1 but where it really matters is when the line is fluctuating around 2.5/3/3.5 or 6.5/7/7.5 and I don't think that is going to come into play here.We already missed it at +3 so if some want to wait its not a huge deal although I would encourage taking it early.

[TonyP]

alright just took zona at +1

[TonyP]

How about 2 team plays and 1 personal play

[zebra58]

sounds good to me tony

[mikemca]

How about 2 team plays and 1 personal play

Sounds ok..Would rather us just shoot for the moon with 3 the same but that isn't much fun.



Think the Packers and Saints have sucker bet written all over them.I actually like the jags a little.

[runner5k]

7th place so far and 3 units off the lead.
I'm going to put in arizona now as well! I think we will have a hard time finding only 3 team plays but there might be some weeks we do. I think there will be some value in the NCAA games since there are so many of them

[runner5k]

I lean Balt -3 in NFL

NCAA I like South Carolina -9.5
Clemson/ Vtech under
East Carolina +6
Bama -3.5 (think they send a message to Florida in the swamp)

[mikemca]

The two college games I would push for are

USC -13.5
Syracuse -2.5


Others that look interesting
Virginia -16.5
Tulane +8
Florida +4
Western Michigan +2.5
Kansas +6.5
Purdue +12.5

[mikemca]

BTW I already took USC -13.5 because I didn't want to risk it going to -14.I'll use it as my personal play if there isn't a consensus

[TonyP]

this is why a personal play may be good. we have a play we like and need to play before the line moves against us with not time to wait for entire team.

[TonyP]

looking at the lines this morning this is what I like

UTEP +15 to +16
Airforce +3
Minny U +19.5
N Carolina St +9.5
Kansas +6.5
Central Michigan +9 or 8.5
Hawaii at least +3
Purdue +12

[TonyP]

I took UTEP +16 for tonight

[mikemca]

I took UTEP +16 for tonight

Gl ...Case Keenum is my favorite player in the ncaas but think I would side with UTEP if I had to pick.Could be like 49-42 if UTEP can score.If not it could be trouble because not many teams are going to slow down Keenum.

Thats what Im hoping is Utep can score then the ponts look good

[zebra58]

nice pk tony, guess rio will post thoughts by sat

[TonyP]

for 1st team pick we used NFL Arizona, whats the next team pk and are we gong to wait until Saturday or Sunday to put in pk?

[runner5k]

I dont think we have a consensus 2nd pick yet

[zebra58]

you guys can come up w/the 2nd (i hope) lol

think i might go arky w/my solo play

[TonyP]

I should have waited for UTEP the line is moving up, thought yesterday was thursday

[runner5k]

I'm looking into that game too Tony!

[zebra58]

I'm looking into that game too Tony!

maybe we could use that as our 2nd all in play, i'll check back before game

[TonyP]

UTEP is holding steady at +16.5

[TonyP]

line on pinny dropped to 14.5

[zebra58]

i guess the others think too risky i thought it would be o'k under the radar play most teams would pass

[runner5k]

It's a no play for me but I'll be rooting utep!

[TonyP]

Houston has a 3 point lead going into 4th go UTEP at least score a td

[TonyP]

UTEP loses only by 7 they covered, this game about gave me a culinary

[runner5k]

Nice call!!
