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

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.
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!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
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.
