Going big on LSU today vs FSU. LSU -4 for a $100 spot. Duquesne folded at the end in FSU's opener but gave them hell for a half. Different animal in the Bayou Bengals and as much as I hate Brian Kelly, he's a world better coach than the Crazy Cajun. Got to get a chunk of the nut back today and get more momentum going.

I like where your head is at, but I couldn't touch the -4. So just went in on LSU at the ML.

Yikes LSU players seemed to be coasting in that first half. Blocked fg after All American half ased his route and misses the TD grab. Dropping punts and flea flickers for TDs? Shine is off Kelly if it was ever on.

Heart told me to play the 24.5U for the 1stH and I didn't listen. Stupid me.

Got in on a late live +4.5 LSU at the same amount I took LSU on the ML, so at least I didn't lose anything. Brian Kelly is still a mediocre coach.

Been a crazy week but it started out with a W tonight on the Cardinals. Didnt get to post due to getting everything done before tomorrow's game day. Here's what I got tonight in the win:

*Can't lie it is easier to bet a little more when you get another shot if it loses!

For Saturday. Well it seems I'm a homer but it isnt just for the Buckeyes. The Blue Bloods are separating themselves from the pack already and Bama is going to torch Texas. I think The Bucks Defense is going to get a score this week and several turnovers, along with the Offense finding a rhythm a lot earlier to Arky States demise.

Got a 3 team parlay again this week:
Ohio State -43.5, Bama -20.5 and Florida -6. Didnt initially love the Florida pick but UK's best back is not playing in this one and I think the Gators will ride off the momentum from last week.

Parlayed and Round Robin for all three of those picks.
Also like:
Vandy +13.5 at home vs Wake
Tenn/Pitt Over 64.5
Hawaii +51.5. They'll get trounced but I got a feeling it will be under 50
Iowa/Iowa State Under 40
Illinois -4 at home.

Hope the momentum carries on into Sunday and we can get that famous "nut" that @ORD_Buckeye often references, under way.

Forgot to post as well after watching Cooper Kupp get his points the other night.

Rams offense shit the bed, so they blew the O51 I put down.
LOU saved me getting in at +6.5, which I bought to +7. Then got a live U at 59.5. Going to ride the big Mo into today.

Early games.

The U v Southern Miss - O50.5
Arky vs SCar - O53
UTSA vs Army - O52
Bama -20.5



I'll likely follow up with what you're calling on Tenn/Pitt O64.5

Then eyeing up

NoD -20.5
O 49.5 Wisky vs Wazzou
O 54 Appy State vs Aggies
Hoping the Iowa line moved to -2.5
-13.5 WVU vs KU

But I'll have to get back from the golf course and size those lines up a bit more before deciding on action.


Good luck this weekend boys!

Just got Alabama -5.5 1st half. Feels like a gift.

EDIT: Well, evidently not. Ewers injured and out for the season and they still end up tied 10-10. Shocked at this one for sure.

2-2 on the early lines. The man upstairs was looking out for me because I didn't get back in time to lock in the 1-3:30 game lines which would have sunk me.

Got in on

Wazzou +17.5 *
Iowa Iowa state U37.5 *
HOU SU v TTU X
UF -6 vs UK
Va Tech -3 vs BC
Uconn +24 vs ' Cuse

Broke a .500 spot for my CFB weekend.

I'm not losing anything, but not gaining much ground either.

On the flip side, something I've been experimenting more with for the NFL are player props. I 3 legged one yesterday of Kareem Hunt 32+ yards and Kelce +6.5 catches and +72.5 yards, all 3 pretty comfortably hit. Goes against my general rule of thumb, to avoid parlays, but I feel more comfortable given the focus on a singular player.

I think this might be the future of how I attack NFL wagers, by going with player props based on matchup usage.

Also got in on DAL TB under 50.5 which was nice. However Dak is out 6-8 so, fantasy speaking, I'm proper fucked there.

A lot of weirdness really for the start of the year. I'm hoping to build some momentum tonight on

Chargers/Chiefs Over 6.5 1st Quarter, and
Florida State -2.5

Good God man. 1 play into the 2nd Quarter with no time gone and they hit the Over. Gods are playing with me now.

BTW FSU is on Friday not tonight

Saw that and immediately thought of your post. Bad beats all around to start the season with.
I went in on LAC +4.5, didn't sprinkle on the ML, thank god.

Followed you on the Fla St -2.5 tonight though. Fingers crossed.

It's been a weird start to the season and feels very 2007ish for CFB. I'm going to be a bit more selective with my wagers and really put in the time and work. Last season I got away with 10 per weekend and did fine. This time I MIGHT do half dozen, tops.

Good idea on fewer bets. I am doing the same considering what usually is a good bet has no freaking idea right now. The transfer portal is doing a number on how we view these teams. Hopefully we can learn them soon since I'm now on the barely negative side for the season in CFB. Somehow Pro's are winning which never happens for me except that stupid first quarter. :smash:

HUGE bounce back day for me. Easily my best of the year. Even after I said about playing fewer games, just too many good lines to ignore.

Okie -9.5 vs Corn *
Iowa State vs Ohio - O48 *
Cal +13 vs NoD *
Ole Miss -16.5 vs Ga tech *
Kansas vs HOU - O58 At 49 in the 3rd qtr
Troy vs Appy State - O52 Intentional safety gave me the Over, unreal. *
Wazzou -16.5 vs CL St *
Wake - 16.5 vs Liberty looking like an X

I'm looking at going 7 of 8 in the early games, only Wake might fuck me over from being over from batting .1000 so far.

That's the type of momentum you need to increase your purse and bet a little more aggressively on focused games, as opposed to spreading thin and trying not to lose $.

On deck tonight I have.

TTU v NcState - O55
Nev v Iowa - U41.5
Miami +7 vs A&M for good measure, sprinkled a little on the ML too.

@Bestbuck36 How are your plays looking?
