Last week: 11-8 (+20.5*)
10* plays: 2-1

I went 3-0 on my 10*s in the NFL last week, so those who like only a few games to unload on and only play my 10*s were treated to a 5-1 weekend. I am up over 100*s in the NFL this season.

Guess I will start the thread a little earlier this week, although generally I don't like to get it going too early. Main reason is that I think Thursday night's line could go even higher by game time, and I like having it before it reaches 17.

Thursday:
10* West Virginia -16
I think this spot gives a great advantage to the Mountaineers, to go along with their overall superiority in athleticism, speed, and talent. Being at home on Thursday night TV will ignite this team to a surprisingly easy victory. Syracuse doesn't have a lot going for them this season, and this game will not sooth their collective egos. The crowd will be crazy as West Virginia wins big.

Saturday:

7* Florida -24
Here we go again on the fade Mississippi State drill. The Bulldogs are definitely playing for the future, starting two true freshmen at LB and one at CB. Omarr Conner returns to QB, but he has no WRs and will be confused by the Gator defense. I simply do not think that Miss St has the personel to keep this game any closer than the current spread. This is another line, however, that might rise as the week goes on.

7* North Carolina St +7.5
Miami is playing on borrowed time. I honestly thought they would lose to Louisville, but they managed to pull that one out at home. Things will be different at Raleigh, however, and the Wolfpack will get the job done again the Canes that they couldn't quite accomplish against Ohio St. This is a live home dog, and this line could grow shorter by week's end.

Always happy to hear any comments. I'll have more in this same thread as the week moves along.

Reb,

Glad to see you on the Up & Up. Keep those winners flowing.

I like the first 3. NCst jumped @ me on Sunday. They have a nasty Defense, and Miami's offense is mediocre @best. This will be a close game that comes down to a fieldgoal. I'll take the generous td+ @ home for the Wolfpack.

BOL, this week my pal :howdy:

Guys, I am OFF Florida right now. Some new info regarding their practices this week has warned me off the game for now.

Florida is a no play!

Reb, I think that the info is that UF has been looking at Georgia next week and They are taking Miss State lightly. Zook is 2-12 as a SEC favorite. I played Tex 3 on sunday as my biggest play of the year and Missouri -3 as my #2 play of year. I would appreciate your imput into these 2 games. Thanks LT

Coach, I like the play on Missouri a lot more than the play on Texas right now. That's just my opinion, and with new info that could change by the weekend.

Adding:

10* Connecticut -17.5
I feel that the Huskies will pretty much be able to do to Temple whatever they want in this spot. UConn will be excited and focused, and Temple won't be able to do a thing about it. That's my perspective for now.

7* Rutgers +6
Found this 6 at Canbet and decided to go with it. Most other places are down to 5. I have a really strong feeling to go with Rutgers in this game. I think they are as good as Pittsburgh this season, and this is a good spot for them. If the Panthers pull off the win, it won't be more than a field goal.

"NICE".....?

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE WIN, but that was an U-G-L-Y win. If that game was a fight, somebody would have stopped it.:)

I like UConn & NCState, Reb. What about Arkansas +7 at home? Georgia scared me when they beat the crap out of LSU 2 weeks ago, but aside from that game, I think the Hogs can scrap with them at home. Do you have an opinion on this game? Good luck on all your picks.

Just my humble opinion on UGA and Ark...

Georgia will roll over the pigs this weekend. I expect this game to look something similar to the ass whipping UGA put on Tenn last season in Knoxville.

Arkansas has absolutely no pass rush and therefore no pass defense. If Jason Campbell can light them up, imagine what David Green's going to do to them. With no pass rush or pass defense to speak of this plays right into the bulldogs hands. Also the Dawgs defense is fast enough and tough enough to shut down anything Matt Jones and the Hawgs throw at them which is much.

I hate to say all of this since I'm an LSU fan, but Georgia matches up extremely well here and should kick the Hawgs ass pretty easy.

7* Florida St -13.5
Noles are discovering their inner offense with the blasting of Virginia. No reason to let up verses Wake Forest this week. Noles should keep on rolling.

7* Boston College +7.5
Bought the half in this one in case ND covers the TD. Really expect it to be closer, though, with a good chance of an outright win by BC. Notre Dame doesn't impress me much.

7* Teaser: BC +14.5, under 49

Reb, after reading your response to my post I realized that I had the wrong team in the TT and Texas game. The post should have been TexasTech+ 3 for my biggest play of the year. I have a thread titled "Rubberband Game" that has the right team. Thanks LT

Thanks, Coach. Yes, Texas Tech looks much better:)

Friday night:

5* Colorado St -3
5* Teaser: Colo St +3.5, under 55.5

Wouldn't touch the Louisville game on a Saturday, so why should I touch it on Friday?

2-0 for +10*s Friday night.
3-0 for+20*s for the week so far.

Adding:

10* Tennessee -6.5
Tennessee has dominated this series lately, and I feel the trend will continue in Knoxville. Eric Ainge is considerably better than Spencer Pennington, and the Tide will have problems in their passing game. Without a passing game, the Vols will be able to stuff Bama's solid ground game. I can see Tennessee winning something like 27-10.

7* Teaser of the week: Tenn +.5, under 49.5

7* Teaser: Penn St +4.5, under 46

7* Boise St -9
Fresno is a popular bet, but Boise covers without too much difficulty.

Here are all the rest, at the lines I got and originally posted at:

10* UConn -17.5

10* Penn St -2

7* NC State +7.5

7* Oregon St -8

7* FSU -13.5

7* Rutgers +6

7* BC +7.5

7* Missouri -3

7* Teaser: BC +14.5, under 49

Best of luck to each and every one of you!<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
