settled on UTEP and NFL Arizona so far in btp and they are my team plays this week so far.

mikemca · 09-30-11, 10:21 AM

Everyone should take a look at Virginia Tech.They play Clemson who we cashed on last week but one of the same reasons we took Clemson last week works for Virginia Tech this week.Clemson had to play really hard for maybe their biggest game of the year against Florida St. now they go on the road for the first time this year against a really stingy V Tech team who is going to give Taj Boyd fits.

TonyP · 09-30-11, 10:44 AM

61% of money on clemson and line has not moved juice -105 now at -102 dont know about this one.

mikemca · 09-30-11, 11:31 AM

Its the situation I like most and even if you do just go by the money shouldn't the line have moved Clemson's way?
Clemson has played its first 4 games at home with the last 2 being tough games on the national stage.That is why they picked up a following but they go on the road for the first time in a tough place to play.V Tech comes off 3 ATS losses in a row so its natural for the public to jump on the hot/now team which sets up nicely to exploit them over rating Clemson.V Tech has one of the nations best defenses year in year out and Clemson's strength is their offense.

nice win on utep tony, good call on the score by mike i wonder what those odds were 500/1 lol

TonyP · 09-30-11, 12:24 PM

yes VT would be the play as the line indicates

zebra58 · 09-30-11, 12:32 PM

guess wait for runner & rio to confirm, also if the line moves it will go down

mikemca · 09-30-11, 12:41 PM

I'm open for other suggestions that is just my favorite play

zebra58 · 09-30-11, 12:46 PM

decent play mike i just think we should wait for others to o'k it, also best to wait for the line to drop to 6.5 no way it goes over 7

runner5k · 09-30-11, 07:33 PM

I would

runner5k · 09-30-11, 07:34 PM

I would Prefer to get -6.5 on vtech but like the play!

zebra58 · 09-30-11, 08:31 PM

now we have 2 plays, line might stay at 7 i can't see it going up

TonyP · 10-01-11, 06:37 AM

I like North Carolina State +10

Rio DiNero · 10-01-11, 07:38 AM

Sorry guys, been very busy. I like;

NCAA- Minny, New Mex, Purdue, and Florida
NFL- Dallas, Cincy, Ari

TonyP · 10-01-11, 07:51 AM

New Mexico caught my eye also.If we don't go with V Tech I'd be OK going with them.I just hate backing bad teams but the betting screams they win.Also for tony's NC State they look alright but the only thing I can see as an angle is that G Tech is 4-0 ATS and NC State is 0-4 ATS.

I prefer
V Tech
New Mexico
NC State
between those 3

zebra58 · 10-01-11, 09:27 AM

i thought we settled on tech as the 2nd? if not what about

mississipi st +7 no doubt would give us 5 wins

TonyP · 10-01-11, 10:21 AM

taking VT as the linen is moving up to 7.5

runner5k · 10-01-11, 10:29 AM

I took vtech and looking into purdue

TonyP · 10-02-11, 07:24 AM

it does not matter that V Tech lost. I am 1-1 so far with Arizona, so we as a team if Arizona wins should be 5-5 with personal pks we could be 10-5 not bad, it will keep us around the middle with chances to move up, and we will as one of these weeks we will hit both team plays and we will all have strong pks and go something like
12-3 boom

mikemca · 10-02-11, 08:21 AM

Yeah that was ugly.V tech's offense is putrid.I don't think they could move the ball on a pee wee team.Bad day for me USC gave up a garbage time touchdown with 1 minute left in the game to lose the cover and Syracuse blew a chance in OT.Not many bright spots for everyone's picks as I think the best we could have did was a push by NC St and Eastern Michigan,plus Runner had Bama right.Minnesota lost 58-0,Miss St lost 24-10,Kansas lost 45-34,New Mexico lost,Tulane got crushed,Utah lost

runner5k · 10-02-11, 08:34 AM

No I still have my personal pick and rio hasn't picked at all I don't think when I looked last night. Looks like lots of picks from peoPle lost yesterday when I look at standings. If Arizona gets it done we will be ok!

TonyP · 10-02-11, 08:54 AM

Hawaii was a good play

Terrible day for me, luckily I was very busy and had no time to enter my picks for the contest. Today I'm going with Ari, Dal, and Cincy.

zebra58 · 10-02-11, 11:09 AM

good luck rio

i over thought this got off my bb arkansas & took a loss w/m-st lol

runner5k · 10-02-11, 06:30 PM

Well we took it is the ass this week

if we won our personal plays we went 5-10

TonyP · 10-02-11, 06:34 PM

yes we did, I won my personal play.

runner5k · 10-02-11, 06:38 PM

I won mine and so did Rio not sure about the others

zebra58 · 10-03-11, 09:53 AM

mine lost

zebra58 · 10-03-11, 09:57 AM

what do you guys think of these 2

boston college +21
arizona -1.5

TonyP · 10-03-11, 10:03 AM

not sure about those 2 zebra, middle tennessee state -9,5 looks good but doubt we can get that as most have moved to 10

zebra58 · 10-03-11, 10:07 AM

thanks tp, i have not seen mt st but if you like them i'll go

TonyP · 10-03-11, 10:19 AM

the line opend at -8 and is up to -10 most places so if you can get 9.5 might be good
