Weekend Football Picks

Here are my weekend picks:

Caveat -- I am 4-0 so far this week on football. That usually means (statistically) that I am due for some losses AND, against all experience and common knowledge, I am loading up on the road favorties. That said, here we go . . .

  1. Tex A&M -2 - Clemson is a tough place to play, but AM has tough D, can score, and I feel will win a close game

  2. Baylor -1 - SMU sucks, Baylor is improving steadily and will not let one of their few winnable games get away.

  3. UTEP -10 - blew out NM St. last year and NMst is revamping offenses which usually causes problems initially. UTEP is strong and well-coached. They should roll.

  4. Boston College -2.5 - BYU will look good and might win this home game. They might, but I'm willing to bet that BC is too strong defensively and too experienced on offense/line play.

  5. Mizzou - 25

  6. Michigan St -18.5

  7. Va Tech -3.5

What do you think?

I'll take TCU ML over OU for the limit.

You made out ok, w/ that request at BetOddessa correct?  I approved it, but no idea if you followed through.

I ran absolutely wild today . . . wow. I've hit everything I've touched so far. IL, overs, etc., etc.

I'm over here trying not to indulge in stupid last minute, JUNKIE betting behavior. I want to LOAD UP on UTEP tonight, but I'm not going to do it.

Ryan, I hear what you're saying about NC St. I know they have a defense, but VT has a better defense and they can run the ball. VT will roll in the 2nd half.

Very kool.

I know recently alot of my posts have been generic, but I am hoping to increase the content of the wagering ground now that the Oddessa brand is behind it.  It would be nice if we could get valuable sports info in here.  I azm always pretty honest and dont sit on fence with opinions.  If I dont ant public 2 know what sides of game I am on, I just dont repond.  Silence makes no mistakes, lol. But anyone that knows me, knows I am pretty opinionated and not a bullshitter.

Anyways, I am on Syracuse 2mmrow for what its worth.  My only remaining play I made for the day so far.

I do like Jones, Cunningham 2nite in Boxing, but the numbers have moved so much that they lost allotta the value.  Hope your streak continues.

Thanks for posting in here.- Joey O

Joey Odessa,

Hey man, you're certainly welcome!! Are you BS'ing me about Syracuse? I don't have a particular feeling about that game, but I'll lay some down on your tout! I lurk EVERYDAY on this site, and I always enjoy your posts the best.

Seriously, I'm not even betting on your site right now (BUT I WILL AS SOON AS I GET MY MONEY BACK FROM THAT SITE), so it's not costing your business if I bet on the Orange and win! In a sentence or 2, why are you so high on SYR?

Yeah dude, I'll be posting here all the time.

Honestly the football play is not my pick.  Someone I really really respect in the wagering world bet them.   He wins consistently year after year, so I follow him if I can find the same numbers he layed/took. With so many sports going on daily, its hard for me to have an opinion on them. I bet Golf and Nascar often and both guys I follow there are tremendous as well.  I can start posting a bit more  and maybe get them to drop by here and share their thoughts and plays.  They both kick the shit outa sportsbooks every year in their respective sports.

I do like Jones, Cunningham 2nite in Boxing, but the numbers have moved so much that they lost allotta the value. 

Now those 2 were my plays.

Cunningham won a 12 Round Ud @ -200 , and Jones just KO'ed Braithwaith in 4 RDS as a  +195 underdog. :)

Been a pretty good Saturday.  Catch you on here 2mmrow , hopefully high fiving a Syracuse win. Good luck.

One of my greatest weekends ever so far!

If you look above, those picks are 5-1 ATS and the one loss was a f'ing debacle last-minute FG by Clemson. You wouldn't believe me if I told you what my record is so far on the weekend (o.k., I will anyway . . . 16-3 ATS with lots of parlays won). However, I KNOW this is about to turn around very soon.

Great work on the Jones pick! wow. I think I'm gonna lay an slightly irresponsible bet on Syracuse. I think highly of WVU's coach Rodriguez, but he doesn't appear to have the athletes this year. Somebody new could step up, but I guess we'll have to see . . .

Yeah, as I've said on another thread, if there's knowledgeable football talk going on -- I'm in.

I  figure if I can pick up 1 tip here or there on the forums its worth stoppin by.  If a contrasting opinion keeps you off a loser, its as good as winning.

Great job on the plays. 16-3 is hard act to improve on.  I dont need to tell you not to press and blow it all back.  Its a long ass season.

BTW, I am sweating the under 39 in this GTech game.  20-14 with 9 Minutes left. I already have it marked a loser. If it wins, would be  a bonus on a great week.  Cuse play naturally wont affect the week much as its been a monster already.   But naturally, I wanna win them all. :)

GO ORANGE!!!!!!!!!!!

lol. I got them at -2. What's the number for you?

No crap, man.

Even with all the good news, that A&M loss was extremely painful to me!! I had it rooted back to 2 different 3-game parlays (they would've paid off with a cover).

RE: your GT under -- I think you played the right side (2 strong defenses and lots of running to keep the clock ticking), but I would never touch an under below 40 in college ball. Defensive and special team pts can push that over on accident . . . as you can see.

you have a feeling on Louisville or VaTech games tomorrow? I want to bet both favorites, but Louisville has too many new faces, and NC St. always pulls some weird shit at home.

I almost shit my pants vicariously for you on that GT interception!! Now let's have 3 running plays and a nice field goal to put this away . . . nice and easy now.

Gotta love this football!

2 Road teams laying chalk. Louisville has been sitten around that -23 number all week. VTech opened -6 and and it musta took some money to move it down to thecurrent -3.5. Its a revenge game because they lost in 2005 @ home if I'm not mistaken.  Wouldnt suprise me if VTech got late money again even though they are on the road. I am thinking Vtech may move back up. I'm not a big fan of laying  chalk like -23 on road, but who knows. I always worry about the back door TD. 

 

............3:40 left in GTech 20-14. Gtech got the ball on an INT, in scoring position. Hopefully they will opt to FG as it puttems up 9,which is as good as a TD, 2 scores, or just run it out.

 

 

tick tick tick . . . that holding call was fab.

LOL.......u read my mind on the Auburn game.  Run, Run, Run and dont break anything big.    FG wont hurt.

I layed 1.5 on Cuse. I saw -2.5 earler today. Dont think it will ever hit -3.  May even drop back to opener of -1 on post.

I'm sitting here chewing my f'ing fingernails, and this game isn't even my concern!

what a nut-cutter!!!! whew. congratulations.

Let's hope you stay hot tomorrow because I'm on board with the 'cuse -2!!

I'll check in here tomorrow around halftime.

INT. . LOL. 31 pts in 1st H and 6 in 2nd . It fell 37. Talk about a break, can't imagine how pissed I'd be  if I bet over.  Perfect ending.

:)

Catch u online 2mmrow for Cuse game.
