The sharper I try to be the more I lose. FML

You are right TMS. I don't recall the #s but the AP top 10 lost maybe one game ATS before this week?

Unbelievable all the huge chalk covers this year.

Stanford has covered every spread since this time last year. I agree, I think I have to go back to like 2005 or so to find anything comparable to this year.

This is the first Saturday that I haven't placed one wager yet. It's 7:15 PM Eastern... and I'm that hesitant. I don't see value anywhere. I'm never this tense.

You must be picking the wrong dogs.

Underdogs have covered more often than faves this year in CFB.

LSU doesnt count today beacause Auburn was a huge public play

Underdogs are 51% so far this year.

Love the sample size people use.

The top 10 teams are the one's covering at a huge clip.

From my studies dogs usually come in at around a 62-63% clip per week. I wasn't exaggerating. The novice gambler always shoots for the top 10... it's a no brainer.

I think a decent play is Oregon State +3 later tonight.
