Paid off.

Congrats to you, sir.

And I'm taking USF on Thu. at +3.

I think USF defends at home well, and WVU has some pretty awful trends going right now, I think USF wins SU.

Yeah that was a nice mid-week bump last nite. Memphis is horrible this year. Havent even looked at that game yet. Your prediction looks good to me. Will have to follow you on this one too. Lets make some money before the weekend. I love it.

Am liking this play more and more. I hear other people jumpin the other side and dont say a word. They shall see.

 

[Co. Aytch]

Anyone have thought on UNC/VA TECH?

Scary spread, but I'm taking VT in a blow out.

 

[droski]

agreed. unc doesn't look very good at all.

 

[Co. Aytch]

Yeah UNC hasnt looked good at all this year, just dont want them to turn it around tonite!!!

 

[volwindy]

what about the osu/new mexico state spread of 44 points? New Mexico State lost to Louisiana Tech 45-7 so that makes me think OSU can do it, but OSU has not been clicking offensively to score it up, but then again this is NMS.

 

[volwindy]

There are a couple of others with high spreads as well, I hate those. :bad:

Boise St. vs. San Jose St. 35
TCU vs. UNLV 35
LSU vs. Tulane 36

 

[Vols N Shocks]

I stay away from big spreads. Too much variance in there to lose on.

 

[Co. Aytch]

Yeah the huge spreads are always good for an underdog bet, just for the hell of it. No big money though

Yeah I thought it was pretty high but if you look at OSU, they've covered every game except for Navy (their 1st game) and Purdue obviously. Their offense is still developing but they like big plays and seem to hit them frequently against bad teams.

I'm not as confident in this as last week's -17 against Minn but I'd probably take OSU if I had to choose.

 

[Co. Aytch]

Virginia Tech couldnt score a point in the first have. I took UNC and am thinkin I am on the right side so far. Anyone else make a bet?

 

[Vols N Shocks]

I will say with all my confidence that if VT didn't fumble on their first drive, they beat UNC like a red headed step child. That just drained all that energy from the crowd and players. It was like opening your last gift at christmas, and its underwear. Just demoralizing.

Here's my quick picks for this weekend in our pool.

FSU -7.5
OLE MISS -4
MIAMI -7.5
GEORGIA +16.5 (dad on FL)
DUKE +7 (dad on UVA)
MSU +3 (dad on KY)
GA TECH -14
TENN -5
OK STATE +9
OREGON +3.5

Alot of tossups this week IMO. I was very conflicted with 5 games out of the 10 so I don't know how this week will turnout.

 

[droski]

SC's D is a horrible matchup for oregon's offense. i think SC wins easily.

Thats for sure, I do not like this weeks picks, too many high spreads and games that could go either way. We only pick top 25 teams so I agree with you on UT and Oregon. I picked UGA but I'm a little weary on that pick. And I picked Texas over Ok State.

 

[Co. Aytch]

Im still going back and forth on a lot of games. Need a big weekend though!!

 

[Vols N Shocks]

I bet really big on USF tonight.

Good luck man I laid off after pulling out the Tarheels last nite. I think you are going to be good. What did you get them at??

 

[Vols N Shocks]

Well i bet a unit at +3 on around tuesday. Then I noticed that my book had increased the line to +3.5 so I went a little nuts. and put even more on them.

 

[Voldaddy]

UGA+ looks like a solid play.

Good luck. I need a big hit this weekend myself. My gfriend is wanting to shop for the Christmas presents and I want to get one big game to make the money on.

VOLDADDY GA does look good. Maybe it is the big bet I make.

 

[Vols N Shocks]

Personally I think UGA gets absolutely throttled.

And i hit my pay day on USF. I bet around 6 units on that 3.5 spread. It has been my only nutty play all season.

Mine was UNC last nite. Congrats on the big hit. Love the middle of the week games!

We need to find a sure fire LOCK for tomm.

 

[Vols N Shocks]

Thanks Vegas.

Congrats on your UNC win last night.

This Saturday is a tough one, I didn't see one game where I was shocked at the line. You have any strong reads?
