I am back in Tenn this weekend and am not playing football at all.

Been real quiet over here this week.

Nobody else gambling?

Glancing at it, the ones that I'd feel best about right away are:

Pitt, Boise, UNC, Clemson, Va Tech, and Ga Tech

I think Bama and Ole Miss will probably cover but rivalry games aren't easy to predict. I'd take Ok State if it's around 5 or less if Robinson plays and is healthy.

I wouldn't be real comfortable with the Clemson pick. This is USCe's chance to end the regular season on a more positive note... especially playing at home. Just depends on which Garcia shows up to play.

Yeah I was thinking it was at Clemson, but they've won the last two at SC and beat them easily at home last year. Clemson's been on a roll lately so I think they win.

UA to cover against ASU

Stanford to cover against ND

UCLA to cover against USC

I am still in Tennessee..Flying out Friday. But if I was betting on the Texas (-21) and Texas AandM game...Three touchdowns??? That is harsh. Texas does have a legit team this year, and would be a great stage to show the country they can play defence as well. Since I am just talking and not putting any hard earned money on it, I would take Texas. Think Colt McCoy breaks out.

Who do you all like??

The -21 (started at -22.5) scares me as well as A&M has averaged 33.5 a game. Also, Texas is 1-3-1 ATS in its last 5 games when playing on the road against A&M.

I think the better wager here is the under on 62.5. 4 of the last 6 between these two have gone under.

I agree..That does sound like the pick to make. 62.5 is a whole lot of points.

I still think Texas can cream them by three touchdowns..I would just be real careful to make that bet. As I said I am just speculating this week as I am not in Vegas.

Am missing the sports books already!

Texas beat OKL State 41-14, A & M lost to OSU 36-31

Texas beat Texas Tech 34-24, A & M lost to TT 52-30

Both beat Baylor, Texas 47-14 and A&M 38-3

Texas beat OKL 16-13 and A&M lost to OKL 65-10

Some other games that were interesting

A&M lost to ARK 47-19, lost to Kansas State 62-14

All games with ranked teams. We don't put money on games individually. We pick all the games and whoever gets the most right throughout the season gets the money.

Back to Vegas..Just went and put a small bet on Pitt at (-1) to beat West Virginia at home. Should be a heckuva game. Hard to pick

I just wanted to get back in the action!

Anybody else got money on the Pitt West Virginia game??

Obviously, Pitt lost in the last 3 seconds on a field goal!

I hit the dang blackjack tonite and made the money back.

But am still lookin for a weak line for tommmmm

What do you all see????

Yeah I would've picked Pitt but then decided not to put any money down since I figured it'd come down to a score at the end.

I'm not feeling too sure about any picks today except maybe UT -3 and FSU +24.5. I jumped all over Rutgers at -3 yesterday though. That one was too easy.

I took Pitt last night as well. Right now I have UNC -6.5.

I like Houston -29.5 over Rice too.

I don't know that I'll bet it, but I also like FSU to cover the 25.5 at UF. I have a feeling that Timmy will be a little too emotional in his last home game. Plus, you have the rivalry factor.

A thought on UT-KY: Even though KY has a 7-4 record, they've been out gained by their opponents this year. I like UT to cover the 3 here.
