I guess we will see how the Nebraska/Iowa game plays out. But I don't think Nebraska is "playing with a big head". Nebraska is playing like they are in the playoffs. If they lose the season is over. This is a HUGE game for Nebraska. 2 VERY different teams here. Iowa wants to win this game 17-10. Nebraska wants to win this game 42-35. If Nebraska can score then they will win. Nebraska finally was able to play their QB of the future last week and things went well. He was all over the field.... rushing, passing and receiving as well. McCaffrey (I'm sure you know his brother) will play in this game as well. Nebraska will open up the playbook with the dual QB threat. Nebraska is at home... and the fans will do their part. Nebraska came up just short last year in Iowa City. I think they get the win on Friday.

Yea for sure! Just know I’m the boss!! lol. Actually hoping this will be great, like maybe you have good feel for some the ones I’ll inevitably be clueless bout!! Let’s win this Mfer!!Comment -
Just read all the rules. Should be cool, we gonna crush it bro!! I sent my half.Comment -
I'm easy, I go by numbers a lot, especially if I haven't seen the teams playing. I trust your judgement so I'm sure we can reach a consensus.
Great, soon as Triple responds I'll post up! Gotta work on my picks for this weekend, if I don't do it tonight don't know when I will.Comment -
Posted! Now I got work to do
Thanks again Banker
Comment -
No. Thank you pal! I wouldn’t even had known bout it have you not brought up!
Im not sure if we gonna get the cash but we def gonna at least place in the points! I dunno bout you but I’d really like to split the 5k and get reimbursed for Xmas!! Lol.
I noticed we have to scale them w different unit sizes. Hopefully i can lean on you in this area cause even tho lately my “best bets” been cashing this has never been a strength of mine.
I’m very excited! Wish it started 2marro! Not only cause I’m pumped up but those 2-3 weeks these teams have off I think one the difficult aspects of capping bowl games.
Do you wanna just discuss over PM’s or wanna pm me your number and we can talk or text on phone?Comment -
PM's are fine, they don't post the lines for 3 weeks so plenty of time. I'm on the computer often so no issues checking in. Plus we still have plenty of games outside the contest, I'm sure there'll be a thread or six

It's Wednesday and I'm Jones'sin...
Where is my MAC fix??????Comment -
Glad you cashed AG. Nothing ever seems to come easy in those. Do you have any leans on Va Tech/UVA and the Egg Bowl? I know Banker likes VT and Ole Miss.This one could have lost too at the end. I was 90% sure Western Michigan gets a field goal at the end and sends it to overtime. Who knows what happens then, even if only 17-17. Thankfully got a turnover to kill the clock. I still don't get why number wasn't pounded down like usually is in these circumstances with bad weather in the forecastComment -
Went brain dead, thinking I had to get my games in tonight. Only one college game tomorrow. Lost a day somewhere
Still have some parsing to do, have way too many leans right now. Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving. The back to work, finish this last weekend big!
Back and forth on Ole Miss tomorrow, might be a layoff for me. Unless y'all talk me into it
Comment -
I wrote why I liked ol piss on like 2nd or 3rd page., I do have one concern tho, with mizzou bowl ban (ncaa such a joke. Possible they wernt gonna win anyways) that leaves sec with only like 6 bowl eligible teams, little concerned they might have a rooting interest in Mississippi state winning that game to get another bowl. Being the money hungry fukks they are!!Went brain dead, thinking I had to get my games in tonight. Only one college game tomorrow. Lost a day somewhere Still have some parsing to do, have way too many leans right now. Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving. The back to work, finish this last weekend big!
Back and forth on Ole Miss tomorrow, might be a layoff for me. Unless y'all talk me into it
I don’t like to think in that manner but the thought does cross my mind. Still think from strictly players on the field ol piss prob shouldn’t be catching points. Go find it, im not writing again. Lol. I’d actually like to hear opposing view after you read if you like sip st. Nobody really commented on that game
Comment -
banker since you jerkoffs only care about write ups (i dont give a flying hillybilly penetrate about the shitty lines i got, they'll still beat beat the jerk 15 out of 16 weeks)
i forget where i was going with this, probably wanted a good deal on cokeComment -
Lmfao. I just like to see how ppl looking at a game. It not like I get all technical into numbers or ask for that.
One my partners been texting me like crazy 2nite telling me he got the best blow that been seen round these parts in 4ever. Driving me nuts, I’d love to go try but I don’t wanna be out driving tonight and don’t wanna be doing 8ball all night and feeling like death 2marro when fam comes over.
I’m so much more responsible these days!!!
You didn’t have any luck at bar?Comment -
Told that Mfer he better still have a half ounce or something on Friday tho!!Comment -
no, never, it's like i have 3 heads
bitches just go to the bar with their bf friend group, dont get me wrong, i yell \*\*\*\*\*\* at their table and the old lady bartender tells me to stop, somehow that doesn't get them to suck my dick
BUT LOL, there was a new waitrress, way too good looking to do coke in the alley...friend, see that girl, she's the one that took me home the night i was too drunk...oh that was nice of her...yeah, then we blew a few lines
what!?
every bartender under 65 does cokeComment -
Thanks bro. Things tend to get lost in this thread! Lol.
You think my concerns about the lack of bowl eligible teams in sec is valid? Someone I talk w off this site mentioned this to me well after i posted this and made the play. Kinda scared me a little even tho like I said I don’t like to buy into such things. I know ol piss would love to ruin bulldogs from getting a bowl! So that good.Comment -
No doubt. The reason it concerns me some is neither these teams have the offense to overcome some untimely holding penalties moving them behind the chains and of course they can call that pretty much whenever they feel like it! (That tripping call on cowboys comes to mind. lol)., I hate thinking that way as I don’t think games are “fixed” but I do worry a conf wanting more bowl money might be inclined to make things difficult! Lol .,
end of day I’m not letting it effect my decisions here or ever, guy I talk w was just so adamant this was so important to the conf to get the bowl games money he was pounding bulldogs and his confidence in this matter shook me a bit, Lol.Comment -
I don’t feel I’m anyone to knock how others go about this thing we do but I certainly don’t understand it. Lol. I agree. Capping it screams Rebs to me, if it loses so be it.
I’m against another hot espn guy and someone else I have great deal of respect for with vatech Friday morning but I freaking love Hokies in that game and am super pumped for it Friday morning!!
Happy thanksgiving buddy.Comment -
So these the 2 I played so far along with Oregon st in 1st post of thread. looks like I’m getting worst of that number which hadn’t happened in awhile, really don’t understand that thing trending toward 20??? Don’t care either, rather I waited but don’t like the play and less.,
I wish jerky would get back in here and respond to my thoughts on AF/wyo cause I’m really close to pulling trigger on wyo+10.5 unless he can sell me on why I’m wrong?
Other than that,
I lean gophers as dogs, not sure I agree with that,
Long as weather decent I really like the over in Purdue/indy even tho I missed crossing key number, i just rather do that than bet into a over this time of year and have it nosedive when we find out there a monsoon coming!! Lol. I still think plenty of room at 57 if weather good.
I agree with jerky on navy. Shoulda grabbed at -7.5 cause it -8.5 now, I think this a ass kicking so not too worried. Anything under -10 I think navy has value.
Still lean Michigan w the points. That only way I play that game but still little hesitant to trust them vs osu even tho think that the right side. Might get there w a push!
I’m still wanting to look at the ville/uk game just haven’t gotten to it.
Still agree with okie lite but dunno if make my card. Just don’t get why they keep putting Sooners as such big favs? Is it overvaluing them or undervaluing rest of big 12? Are they gonna ever cover one these? Even w a backup I think gundy will have his boys ready. Hurts keeps Everyone in the game, his team and the opponent! Lol
Army/Hawaii another one I could see having a play (when don’t we play Hawaii game when it on the island late nite!!! Lol).
Right now I think that pretty much everything I’ve played or I’m looking to possibly play. That bout all the steam I have for tonight. I’m
Gonna listen to some podcast and get some sleep!
Happy thanksgiving everyone!!Comment -
UVA/Virg
I could not make up my mind on UVA/Hokies game. My baseline review says UVA but since it does not take into account momentum, and Hokies are on fire, that pushed it off my card.
Minn/Wisc
I've committed to the Gophers. I don't see it as a "great" bet but there is enough value to warrant a play. Its gameday weekend there (1st one ever for Minn) so it should pump them up and their fans even more than usual. Weather looks like some light rain and 12 mph winds. Both run the ball well. Minn has those "pro" wide-receivers and may be a little more dependent on the pass than Wisc but getting points at home helped push me this way. It should be close but Minn at home + pts
.
Ind/Purd
I agree with the Indiana pick. Since Plummer went out, Purdue has not played well, only beating NW by 2 (a bad team) and getting killed by a Wisc team that I don't think is as good as prior teams. Indiana meanwhile is coming off Penn St. (1 TD loss) and Michigan (a masscre). But the Penn St. game was respectable for Ind. The Mich game I think just plays to the fact Mich is has improved significantly since early season (especially offensively). Light rain 12 mph. If weather is going to impact one team more than the other, I would expect it to hurt Purdue more. Their run game is bad and are more dependent on pass game (& without Plummer). I took this game early in the week so I got a favorable line 6.5. It's up to 7. I don't think that would change my mind on this game though.
Army/Haw
I like Army in this game. We've lost a little edge since it's down to +2.5 but if you look at Hawaii's last 5 games and exclude the absolute worst CFB teams (New Mex and UNLV) they've won two by only 2 & 3 points (SJ St. & SD St. both @ Hawaii), and lost by 3, 30, & 22 (2 of these at home as well). At home they either win by 2-3 points (best case) or lose outright. Hawaii throws well but Army Pass-D is pretty good (top 20%). Finally, I think this is Army's last shot at a bowl. They need 1 more win and a win next week vs Navy is not likely to happen. This should inspire the Black Knights to cover if not win.
Couple of other games I like w/ a few notes:
Illnois -8 (I'd take it to -8.5) over NW. NW is not a good team. The only game they've been in in the last month and half is Purdue and that was the first game that Plummer could not play for Purdue, so I look at that as a one off. Meanwhile Illinois has shown a little bit of life the last few weeks since beating Wisky. They did lose to Iowa but that was on the road against a very good team.
Miami -9 vs Duke. But only if Dallas (RB) is playing. I've not got an update on his status today. The issue is this line has climbed quickly so value is going away fast.
UNC Char over Old Dom -9.5 if LeMay (RB) is playing. I've lost some value on this line waiting to hear about Lemay but Old Dom is bad. They've lost to some very bad teams by large margins (Midd Tenn, Fla Int, UAB). Close losses have only been to exceptionally bad teams (UTSA). UNC Char win over Marshall (by 11) last week and over N. Texas (by 1) a few of weeks ago, impressed me albeit they won at home.
That's my brain dump for the games this weekend. Looking at a couple of these yet (Miami, UNC Char).
Sorry about the length. Only 1 CFB today so thought you guys would have time to read and soak on it.
Happy Turkey day guys.Comment -
a month ago it was looking like fuente was going to look for hs jobs, i dont see itComment -
I love gophers as dogs cause I think that line dead freaking wrong but I don’t like there supposed to be some serious weather in that game which I think hurts gophers way more than wiscy. Wiscy perfectly happy in a Game they only throw 10x. Not sure minny can win that way so I’m just waiting to see what weather like there.UVA/Virg
I could not make up my mind on UVA/Hokies game. My baseline review says UVA but since it does not take into account momentum, and Hokies are on fire, that pushed it off my card.

Just read Dee Jay Dallas (RB) Miami Hurricans is out for the season.
That pushes that game off my card. Camron Harris will take his place and is capable but I am a little more concerned with this spread now.
