Went in on 'Cuse. Took the ML and the Under after buying 1.5

Fingers crossed for an Orange Crush tonight, underdog picks have been good to me this year!

Probably not a bad idea. I, personally, try to never bet on any outcome from two bad teams.

You just never know what the fuck they are capable of doing. I've seen two terrible teams with terrible offenses turn the ball over so many fucking times they blow through the under. You also have to worry about two limp dick teams going into OT, or multiple OTs.

You're not wrong, and that's what almost happened with the NCstate gsme. But Syracuse at least has some offensive identity, which can't be said for Clemson. Plus the Orange are at home. So I'm hoping for some magic and a repeat for what happened a few weeks ago in Raleigh.

Well, fuck. I went out and cashed in a 45 clam ticket from last week's Ohio State game amd decided to swing for the fences with three 3-team parlays. The first includes this fucking cripple fight. I took Syracuse +13.5, of which I'm exceedingly confident, but I also took the god damned over.

Well, my first parlay went down in flames thanks to that shitshow last night. I was right about Syracuse easily covering the spread but horribly wrong about that cripple fight being able to produce 45 points.

You were a 'Cuse FG away from having a legit chance. That's why I will almost never play the under. It doesn't have any mathematical impact to the odds but you have to sweat an under to the last second and OTs will kill you. I hate that.

I was worried about @Buckeneye last night as it was unfolding. Thought maybe I had jinxed his under bet.

The under was what I was more confident in. The ML home dog would have been the real payoff though. I was wrong about it being +210, it was +425.

Had cuse made that QB switch after halftime, I'd be waking up to a hell of start for my weekend.

I'm not at my desk right now, but when I am I'll double check my notes on what games I'm wagering. I do know Purdue to cover was the 2nd one I saw after last night's game.

edit:

At the command station and here's what I'm starring down the barrel at.

Looking at BYU ML
Purdue to cover
Sparty to cover
LSU - UF Under 63.5
Pitt cover
Oklahoma cover

Afternoon gang. Checking scores looks like a pretty interesting day. No joy for us this morning, couple coyotes- mangy bastards.

Looked closer at Pitt-6. Put some money down on that one. Probably watch the Arizona State game tonight also a bit on the Sun Devils +1 or pick em.
