Hey Capy, I haven't really been betting them because I usually bet college earlier in the week, but I have been using them in contests that need alot of picks like the Bet Jam pick 15. I think he does have a good feeling for certain teams though.
Ohio St. being one of them. I don't know if you listen to the show, but he said that he was on Ohio St. early in the week, but a wise guy friend of his from Vegas told him he was nuts and Penn St. is the play, we'll see what happens!Comment -
20 units, same as me this year, Congrats.Originally posted by purecarnaggeI'm on him he's 50/50 at worst... never lost money following the herd. I also fade b/lang andmake my own picks... So far I'm up 20 units this year...but wondering how payouts will go... I always get slowpayed.
But now that baseball is almost over, I'm in trouble -- I'm actually down a few units so far with NCAA football, can't catch a break. Or possibly I'm just clueless. 
Ahead for the weekend though from Boise St., maybe I should stop now!

Okay, thanks, smitch, still not sure what I'm gonna do. Gonna see what they have to say on College Gameday -- you guys ever give any credence to their thoughts?Originally posted by smitch124Comment -
Listen to this guy every day because of my blow hard job and he is a HUGE college football fan.
Believe that he is something like 23-14-2 so far this year. Here are his plays this week....
Kentucky +26
OK St +12.5
Penn St -2.5
Arizona +15(this guy is a huge USC homer by the way)
Bama -5
Coming off a 4 and 1 week so take it for what it is guys, but he has Vegas buddies that he talks to through out the week because he use to work there. One talked him out of taking the points on OSU....Comment -
You know I never watch it. I listen to the Radio College gameday, but take it with a grain of salt.Originally posted by CapybaraComment -

Tex Tech +7 over Oklahoma - Close, wild shootout (Oklahoma 38, Texas Tech 36)
Arizona -2.5 over Oregon - Az tough at home. Ore St. is young at key positions and doesn't perform well on the road. (Arizona 31, Oregon 24)

He is doing great, but on his show he says hes around 70%, 62.5% is great, but its not 70.Comment -
Thanks for posting these every week smitch. I know nothing about college football, so I've tailed either Pags or Cowherd pretty much every week, with small bets, just to have some action. I'm somehow down a bit overall this season.. bad luck (missed out on Cowherd's 4-0 last week, for instance).Comment -
Yes, he quotes a slightly better record than I have for him, and its still under 70%, not sure where he gets his 70% from.Originally posted by krk1030
I give him the spread he quotes if I can find it anywhere, otherwise I go with the best available spread at the time of the picks.Comment -
Wheel of Genius Week 13: 2-2

Oklahoma -17 over Missouri - Missou simply doesn't have the overall roster that Oklahoma has. (Oklahoma 51, Missou 21)
