A NY Perspective -- 10/16 -- 10/18

[NYReb]

Guys, what I've been doing hasn't been working, so I'm changing a few things in the way I select games as well as the way I post them. However, here is one early bird special that looks really good before the line goes down further.

7* Mississippi St +21.5
This opened at 21.5 last night at Olympic and Pinnacle and at many places you still have the option of buying an extra half point if you wish. Auburn has played too tough games against Tennessee and Arkansas and has LSU to look forward to next week. They'll take a breather against the Bulldogs this week, and do what it takes to win but not much more. Meanwhile, Dawgs are slowly improving and will play the game of their lives to stay in this one. I strongly suggest taking the points here.

Thanks for the heads up" on this one. Your rationale is sound. Will look at it now. Also isn`t Wake -10 @ a lousy Duke tm something to look at?

Reb:

I like your reasoning behind this one.

silver7:

I've been noticing that one also. Maybe I'll start a new thread. I like to have threads where only 1 game is discussed.

GL NY Reb. I like Miss St alot this week. Just so you know, the line opened at 23. I was cutting & pasting lines as they were being put up & it was at 23. I brought it up 1.5 pts to +24.5

 

[CoachLT]

Reb, I think you have a winner. LT

7* Michigan St +7
Bought a point here. Mich St's 6-1 record is every bit as impressive as Minnesota's. Minnesota hasn't beaten anyone. Spartans have at least beaten Iowa, while beating Notre Dame almost counts for something. Jeff Smoker has been smoking (no pun intended). John L Smith has been good for this program. Feel quite comfortable with a touchdown padding here given that either team could win the game.

 

[NYReb]

7* LSU -3
LSU is better than the Cocks and they will be fired up after losing to the Gators. Cocks don't have the skill players to bother the Tigers the way the Gators did. I think LSU wins this one rather handily. I also bought a point in this game. Some very sensible cappers have advised me not to buy so readily, and I appreciate that, but if I win it doesn't matter, and if it increases my chances of winning, it's worth it. Don't think the buy is necessary in either case, but -3 is a lot safer than -4 just as +7 is a lot safer than +6. Feel really good about all three of these games so far.

Looks like LSU may be down to their 3rd RB this week. Joseph Addai is OUT, and Shyrone Carey (the only one you really need to worry about) has not practiced this week, and Saban usually gives em a week off if they can't practice..so I'd be careful with that Tiger team with no RBs. Mauck is very solid, but he is no throwing machine--even with the great O-line and WRs...

Good card Reb..............Your MI St. pk will cash.........I don't see minny hanging big numbers against the sparty D........GL Players

 

[LSUpete]

Here's the facts.....

Carey and Addai are OUT. The problem for USC(east)is that the RB's we have are BETTER than the starters....just younger. Wait until you see Alley Brousard and Barrington Edwards....they are BIG and fast. The bottom line in this game is that LSU has MUCH more talent than USC.

good luck this week!

Thursday:

5* Colorado St -5
Just like the better team who've played better schedule being at home. I think they cover easily.

GREAT CALL ON COLORADO ST NY REB. GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND.

7* Ole Miss -3
Ole Miss gets Bama at home on Saturday and will take advantage of a good time for a victory. The Tide has problems, including plenty of walking wounded. The Rebs have an injury where they need one least -- star DT and team captain Jesse Mitchell, the strongest man on the team, can't go. Taking his place, however, is someone who will eventually be even better -- soph McKinley Boykin, who is just rounding into top health himself for the first time this year. Boykin is explosive and talented enough to fill Mitchell's shoes admirably. Of course, there are the usual mismatches, like Bama's 6-8, 315 OT Wesley Britt against Ole Miss DE Charles Anderson at 6-4, 245. Even so, the Rebs will do whatever is necessary this day to preserve a victory over the hated Tide. Key is Rebs' offense will get their points, and they will be more than Bama will get on the Rebs' defense. Nice victory for Ole Miss here.

One thing that scares me about that auburn vs Miss st game is that the coaches hate each other and if given a chance one will run the score up.

 

[NYReb]

Hate works both ways.

GL THIS WEEKEND REB!
