Ole Leatherballs Wk. 1 Plays

[Leatherballs]

I base my plays on two different scales. Big Value plays and Regular Plays.

I hope everyone gets off to a good start and we can all contribute something to this forum.

I play with real money & expect to make a real return so lets bet to win and gamble to live.

"The Best Balls Are Leatherballs"​

Big Value Plays $100 (0-0) YTD
Regular Plays $50 (0-0) YTD​

Big Value Play
USC Trojans -10 (First Half)

USC @ Virginia​

Total mismatch in this game and was actually surprised at the line for the game. Sewell was the only name i saw for the team last season that did anything and where is he? Suspended i believe. Long, well he is long gone now and they are going to just be overmatched. I would be surprised if they score an offensive touchdown in the first half. I have one of those feelings this game is going to be one of those that you see the ticker at the bottom just keep spinning and spinning on ESPN. Why wait 4 quarters, get your money early.​

Regular Play
Temple -7

Temple @ Army​

Why am i betting on Temple? Well I like teams that have experience and return a starting quarterback. The last time I bet on Temple, I think Buffalo beat them by a million. They are one year better and could actually have a pretty good season. Army is going to be clueless against a team that will bring experience to the table and 23 starters from a year ago.​

Regular Play
Utah +4

Utah @ Michigan​

Utah returns 17 starters and will go into Michigan knowing their playbook, gameplan, and how they want to manage the game. Michigan on the other hand does not even know who the starting quarterback is. I mean they probably know by now, but he is not comfortable and ready to play against an experienced team. It seems easy spread wise, but i know its the big house. If Utah can manage the game and eliminate turnovers, experience will be the key in this outright winner. It is going to take a while for Rich Rodrigueuz to implement his system at Michigan. Tough game to start for that one.​

Regular Play
East Carolina +10​

Virginia Tech @ East Carolina​

Virginia Tech starts the season off with an inflated line. I mean everyone last year thought they were going to blow East Carolina out of the water including myself. Made a note to myself for next year, wont let that happen again. East Carolina has had this game circled all summer long. You can rest assure a young V. Tech team will get all they can handle. Either way i think it will be low scoring and easily manageable for East Carolina. They think they are going to pull off an upset as opposed to a team like Hawaii or FIU who is getting off the plane, hoping they can just make it through the game without season ending surgery. Take V. Tech and you may be saying towards the end of the 3rd quarter.....Dammit​

Regular Play
Florida Atlantic +24​

FLorida Atlantic @ Texas​

You think FAU is nervous or scared about going into Texas after someone from their own conference last year put up a good fight? I just do not see Texas being up by 34 points in the fourth to prevent the backdoor cover. FAU has some really good athletes and Texas serioulsy may have their hands full at times in this game. I simply just do not think Texas is 24 points better than FAU. There will be some favorites go down and some favorites not cover. This one my friend, will not.​

Regular Play
Wyoming -11​

Ohio @ Wyoming​

Read everyone else's post on this game. Ohio lost 15 players off of last years squad and well they are going to struggle in this game. They are flying in for a short trip and will be back home in less than 24 hours. They have Ohio State the following week and I would venture to say they are looking ahead as who the hell wants to play Wyoming anyways?​

Regular Play
Oklahoma State -6.5​

Oklahoma State @ Washington State​

Much improved defense which is what they needed. I really thought the line initially would be a lot higher. Washington State in my opinion is not going to be very good this year and will get off to a bad start with a team once again returning a very good QB in Robinson that should put up some pretty good numbers in this game​

Good luck to all -Leatherballs-​

 

[MattMillen+]

BOL this season Leatherballs.

 

[Right-Side]

Love the wyoming play like everyone else, also on the Oklahoma st game. Best of luck to you this year.

 

[Leatherballs]

Thanks Millen and Rightside.....will have writeups on Fresno State and Tennessee on Monday.

I think Fresno wins outright by the way

Best of luck to both of you guys this season

 

[KOOPSTAKNICCA]

Parlay

I think you should parlay all of these teams together. The card looks Solid Leatherballs!! I'm on Temple and Ok St, and really like Utah on the ML.
GL this year :toast:

I will be on Utah and Fresno State ML parlay for sure as I think Fresno goes to Rutgers and wins outright. As for parlaying them all, i think i remember that at the start of the year, they all feel this good but do not pan out the way i want them. Its worth a shot though. BOL KOOPSTA

Good luck LB:toast:

Buying the Wyoming game back....Just too many people on it for me. I tend to listen to my gut and something is telling me to not bet it. I dont like the number nor either one of the teams so i will gladly say peace to that bet. Got out of it with no juice so thats always good.


WYOMING -11 = NO PLAY

I was looking at positional matchups last night on this game and I just don't see why Wyoming is Fav by so much. I guess they play great at home? NICE hit on Temple brother. I wanted to UNLOAD on it but was reserved with it being the first week. Gl with the rest of the card. USC first half looks great! :toast:

Yeah i think its gonna get ugly early in that USC game....Kansas should light it up early as well against FIU.

Good luck man

Thanks man....lets get off to a good start this saturday

 

[MaizeRage]

I agree with a majority of your picks but believe you lose 2 games which either way is a win-win for us all... Michigan takes it home! GO BLUE!

Yeah that one seems like it is going to be a tough one! I liked it initially but have let the public and ESPN scare me a little. I am going to stick to it and hope for the best. Either way, $50 will not kill me.

 

[bookiebanger]

Solid solid card Leatherballs. I like what I see. Especially USC -10. Good Luck this season

 

[Jetplane]

I was gonna say that I like OKST... but WYOMING is a scary S.O.B... why did you take it off? Good to know we're on the same page! GET EM YO!

Just had a feeling, so in that case, It will be over by half time and everyone will cash on Wyoming. I still may put a little bit on it with the local but I will not post it as a play. Liking that Utah/Mich. Over....
