No thoughts on Tulane but I like the Saints a lot too.

I also like

Dolphins +2.5, Chargers -15, and Bears if it goes to +3.5.

[MexicanStallion]

I will be no help with NCAAF. I have not really looked into it this season. All my plays will be NFL, so will have to sort out through everyone's plays when I have some leans.

Early gut I am liking Buffalo though.

[Balco10]

So far in the NFL I like:

over 53 Texans/Saints

Chargers -14.5...Chiefs are just awful!

Detroit -3.5

[james4512]

I dont really take road favs or big spreads but it seems like you guys like the chargers

ADDING - Also like NCAAF Buffalo +9 vs uconn

[Balco10]

I do much better in college football than NFL. I usually need until Friday evening to make my picks on them.

With that in mind, I am more of a chalk player then those like Golden Greek or Nocoin.

Stick to your strengths then. I have done very little with college this year so I won't be much help. Maybe if there is a really strong play we all like then we all can use it or 2-3 etc. On that note. Let's start out strong

[james4512]

Also Really like ECU -13
Against my principles but Boise -28 looks pretty good

[Bob Loblaw]

So how is this going to work?

Do we make our plays whenever? Are me making sure we don't make the same plays? Are we making sure we don't go against each others plays?

[Balco10]

When is the deadline and where to post our plays to lock in?
What lines do we go off? We each give our top 3 picks of the week.
Right? Do we send to you via mail or post them here? Just want to
be clear.

Also like Oregon -15

Yeah we can make plays whenever. I just thought we might like a discussion thread to share our plays. At least make sure we don't cancel each other out on plays. Maybe if we really like a game, then 2-3 guys pick the same game and get a little etc for it or whatever.

Each week we need 3 plays per person. So whenever you really like a play. Maybe post here, so we can see what you are locked into. Whatever lines it has on SBR Picks is the lines you have to use. For now, we can post plays, since it's week 1, but if we were doing really well then we would probably have to use pm's or chat or something.

Heads up I am going to be using NFL lines for sure, unless the group really loves a NCAA game, then I could be on board. I just haven't done much with college this season to be really helpful in that category.

Best of luck. I'll take a look at Tulane then and see if I can find anything to back it up as well. I'm kind of leaning Bills early, but I don't really look into them until late Saturday.

We do we lock in these plays or does it have to be approved first? I see the line on GTech moving to -7 at some books now.
Also was hoping to get +16 on Vandy which just moved.

I would say go ahead and play your plays assuming nobody posted a strong lean or close to having a play against you. Just want to avoid canceling each other out among little things. But go ahead and confirm here what you lock in with, so we know where we all stand. Best of luck

This is a dangerous game for Tulane. A few analysis have Duke winning outright.

How did we do on college?

[Balco10]

Was not a good day for me. Could of easily lose all 3 or won all 3. 1-2 is not a good start.

I love Cincinnati Bengals this week. I am waiting to get +3.5. Would like to avoid a push like I had with the Vikings. I had +3.5 for myself, but could only get +3 for the contest. So missed out on a winner. I'd really like some guys to back me on this play and maybe we can hit a big winner for Week 2 here. I'll take blame on this if it fails. I'm open to anything though.

[Balco10]

Hard to go against the Bills!
You think their due for a let down after that huge win over the PATs?

Basically. The Bills keep surviving winning close games. The Bengals just got shut down by the 49ers with little offense and the Bills are only giving 3 points? Yes on the road, but it's just too shady for me. I think everybody is going to be jumping on the Bills especially after their big win and I don't see the line moving much at all. Just my opinion on this game though.

[Balco10]

I see the Saints beating the Jags by 10+

[Balco10]

If I had to pick today in NFL I would lean.

PATS -4

Ravens -3.5

Saints -7

[Balco10]

Locked in on these plays.
