Uhhh maybe i'm mistaken but the spread was -3 starting off and as high as -6, so they covered the spread yes? How bout you just quit finding reasons for OU and give the GATORS there props. The line didn't say there were to roll those were opinions from everybody.

You guys are slow.

Stay with me now.

Florida didn't "roll" (it was a fairly close game, especially spread wise, up till the late 4th quarter)

Oklahoma didn't cover (lots of people were chirping how they would cover easy)

So instead of all the "they will roll" and "this team covers easy" theatrics....how about you just post what you like (no roll this or easy that), and leave it at that.

Get it?
Meaning it wasn't easy either way....

Let me know if you need one more rundown, mkay?

That's exactly what I was referring to :think2:
People should just say who they like and not get in to all the roll and lock bullshit.

I get it. From now on, you must say that a favorite will cover, but not "roll". Something like:

Florida -5.5 (but they don't roll - only like a 7-13 point win) -106 3x

Or, if you're betting on the dog, something like:

Oklahoma +5.5 (I think they cover, but they might lose by more than 5.5. Hell, they might even win) -103 2x

Is this acceptable?

How about at half time. OU could have been up 21-7 at the half. That game was more about OU's short comings in the reddzone, bad use of time outs, and especially calling for a 49 yd field goal that was doomed from the get go. Florida did exactly what they needed to do: had a great goal line stand,got out of the endzone in one play, got lucky with the clock just before the half, blocked the field goal, and they could handle it from there. It was basically a "home" game for Florida. It was all there and they took advantage of it. Did they deserve it, yes. Was it easy, no.
Best team on a given day. By the way, Harvin is the best and most valuable player on that team.

Its obvious what it means smartass....
It means cut the theatrics and just say who you think will win ATS. I'm tired of some people running their shitbeak like they know everything. Wouldn't you prefer that as well?

Yeah, but at the end of the day people will still have GOYs, stars in their thread titles, locks, 50 unit plays, guarantees that a team favored by 3 will win by 20+, etc. Hell, one guy on here does all these things for nearly every game he bets on.

Some people just crave the attention of Randizzle, Ace-Ace, Boxslayer, MistaFlava, Coldweather, etc (I know I'm forgetting several others). And saying that your team will probably win by a field goal over the spread just doesn't sell as well as saying that you should mortgage your house on a pick because Florida wins by at least 3 TDs!!! (Or rolls or whatever)

So you're saying people should just give their pick ATS and not provide any analysis or write-up otherwise to support that? I do believe you're at the wrong site.

Jeez, just ignore the theatrics. You've been here long enough to know who the decent cappers are. If the avatar is a Florida gator and their name is "I_LUV_FLA" and they think the Florida game is a lock, well, good for them. Just don't get the impression that they have particular insight on Oklahoma.

Fellas, you can give your thoughts and analysis without getting into all the easy this and easy that stuff. You know that, so stop playing stupid.

Also for the record, the guys you mentioned (Boxslayer, Coldweather, Mista) only present what they think will happen. They don't get into the "this is easy", "they should roll" bullshit. So that was a very bad example dude.

Fellas, fellas. Next to the stage is Destiny. Get out those dollas. If you ain't tippin', she ain't strippin'.

Seriously now, I didn't say those guys were into "lock talk" either. I said that others want their type of attention and will say anything to get it. Usually that means "*****FLORIDA GATORS - EASY WINNER (LOCK OF THE CENTURY), A BILLION UNIT WINNER INSIDE*****" as opposed to "This has approximately 54% chance of hitting - .25 units".
