Needless to say, TCU is a very big game today.

And overall, it is a very big day.

GL all

Happy New Year!

Again, great thread!

Was seriously considering a play on the Cocks last night, but your selection made me take a deeper dive and came up with a "no play."

Keep up the good work........and GO FROGS!!!!

Leaning over in the Miss St game.....expecting absolutely no defense from Michigan .......again.

Miss St will go up to 4 units from 3 units if I see -3 anywhere at -110.....

I am also tempted to put another unit on TCU if I see -2.5 today, but 6 units is against everything I believe in - but I think I like this game more than any other I have bet on in several years.

Any insight you can offer on your NW pick?

9.5 looks like a big gift and we know how many "gifts" the linesmaker likes to give out.

Seven turnovers at Wisky was an abberation, I think NW can win, but a bit concerned about a number that opened so high and has just dug in its feet at -9.

Just too many points.  I am concerned about the NW backup QB - he played poorly against Illinois, but with this much time to prepare they should be better equipped to have plays to his style.

TT defense is pourous and NW should score.  TT will get theirs too, but this is just a case of too many points with 2 teams that should both move the ball.  Wouldnt be surprised to see NW win outright....

Alright it is official....

TCU is my biggest NCAAF bet ever.

Im not proud to say that, it is a little out of character for me to put 6 units on a game, but 2011 is the year of living dangerously.

GL, Van...I have no pick on this game cause I am scared that those corn fed, cow chip tossin, cheeseheads might just line up mano a mano today and deliver a big dose of ground and pound.  TCU better be big and deep enough to take on a pounding while playing their safeties deep.  If they have to stop the run with their safeties this one might go Wisky way.

Make today great!

One more thought for you...it is very difficult to get a meat-head coach like Wisconsin's to give up on the run.  He has run over lessor (but larger) teams all year long, look at Ohio State, Penn State, Iowa.  It will be very interesting to see which breaks first, the will to stop the run by the TCU front 7 or meat-head's commitment to it the run with 3 different backs.
Make today great!

GL van...we're thinking the same way on a lot of these.

I missed NW at the good line...now down to 7.5...I lost some value there.

GL today.

Look at you But we all know aside from gambling that 'living dangerously' will mean abandoning low-fat hummus for the full flavor hummus once a week. 


Glad you're a pothead now Van, way to be.
