    Hippo is proof positive that only losers get the attention around here.

    Misery gravitates to misery.

    Good work here, pal.

      Thanks Giant. Although I'll admit I think I've proved myself more than a vast majority of the guys here when it comes to bets and winning bets at that, I don't mind the lack of attention, doesn't stop what I do.

        Going with Eagles ML tonight against the Colts.

        Eagles I think play like the second half of week 1 and not the first.

        Foles passes for 3 TDs, runs for one more.

        Eagles ML 1U (+130

          I immediately regret this decision. Eagles kicker looks like he thinks he's above kicking fgs, all nonchalant about it.

            Got the ball with 2 minutes to go in a tied game, win or lose I think I picked the right side here.

                  What do you think of him now?

                  Seriously, another great call, Hippo.

                  As much as I hate to say it, I think your Tejanos may be returning to the playoffs soon.

                    I think they make the playoffs this year. No reason at all they can't be 5-0 going into their matchup with Indi, if they are they have a chance to put a strangehold on this division. Indy could easily lose to Baltimore the week before.

                      Going ahead and getting this now before the lines change on me.

                      2-team 6 point teaser (+100)

                      Oklahoma -1 - Bengals -1

                      I know Ford is out but WV will still be overmatched all over the field. Oklahoma without Ford is still on another level then Maryland and the Terrapins still put up 37 this past weekend. I think the Sooners win this one going away, will most likely go with Sooners with one of my BTP picks this week.

                      Bengals at home with that D going up against a Titans squad that was just beat down by Dallas. With all the injuries the Bengals took I don't want to risk a closer game than it should be so teasing it down works for me.

                      Bengals/Sooners -1 (+100 - Push reduces) 1.5U

                            UCLA -4.5

                            You can get a much better number than this now, maybe even better closer to kickoff but that's where I'm at now. I think Hundley does play and UCLA finally plays a dominating game. They should be crowding the box making Sun Devil's Bercovici make plays down the field to keep Arizona State in it, he's making his first start and hopefully some jitters are in order. If UCLA D can force a turnover or a few 3 and outs to start the game it could rattle the kid and force him into some mistakes.

                            I think which ever team gets out to a 2-score lead first will hold on to a 7+ point win.

                            Not that I think it matters much but Hundley is from Arizona so maybe it's a bit of motivation to put on a show

                                    Saturday action:

                                    UTSA -5

                                    Line has recently moved to 6 at some places but I still think they beat that number. The Roadrunners are the much more complete team, only losing to Arizona by 3 and beating UH by 20 @ Houston opening night of their new stadium. I think Coker gets his team ready and they go into Florida Atlantic and take care of business early. I don't give much credit to FA's lone win against Tulsa. UTSA to win by a TD+ here.

                                          Total shit fest

                                          Up 10 with under 5 to go. Florida Atlantic facing 3rd and goal from the 21 (TWENTY ONE!) yard line. If they don't convert they kick the field goal to go down 7 and hope to get the ball back. Instead UTSA allows the TD in a single play, Roadrunners get it and get nowhere so they punt. Now I'm hoping for a tie since now there's under 2:30 on the clock and UTSA isn't covering at the moment. Instead? Another fukkin touchdown, unfukkinreal. If UTSA holds on 3rd and 21 the game is over in my eyes.

                                          I don't post many picks here now and it's my first loss in over 2 weeks but it's still a kick in the pants when a win is just taken from you.

                                                  Thursday night action

                                                  UCF ML -145

                                                  With Hill going down for BYU and their backup looking completely lost in replacement I think it takes BYU at least another week to get things right. Meanwhile, they're playing on the road against a respectable UCF squad who should be amped up for a primetime weekday game. I was looking to get the Knights at -2.5 but can only find 3 at the moment and if I'm buying it down half a point I'd rather just take ML. I know the recent trend of roadteams coming in on these Thursday games and pulling the upset but I think this is not one of those weeks.

                                                  2U.

                                                            Saturday NCAAFB

                                                            Over 50 Clemson/Louisville

                                                            I thought this number was too low and now i see it's dropped to 48 some places, I think Clemson alone puts 28+ in this contest. I know Louisville has the 6th ranked scoring D in the country but they haven't faced a QB or an offence like Clemson's. Louisville's highest ranked opponent offensively comes in ranked 70th, they're not holding power teams to these low scoring numbers. Most previews out there have Clemson scoring in the high 30's and I don't disagree, playing in Death Valley will help the offense stay in swing.

                                                            34-21 Clemson
