Dude, not to be a d**k but if he's betting the ML, I'm sure a point and half drop won't make a difference

Freak... I appreciate all of the analysis you do. Made my bookie get a 2nd job after last week. Any thoughts on under for Clemson game? Not familiar with Troy offense and I know Auburn offense is a pile of baby poop, but 63.5 seems like a lot unless Watson finally "Watson's"

I look forward to hearing why Jimmy thinks Illinois ML is a good bet?

Probably because he thinks they'll win the game.  Not sure though.

Good luck buddy!

Nice picks jimmy BOL this week. 

Can you share your read on how Ill keeps it closer?... i'm playing the over and think both the runs go gangbusters, Ill had a guy break a few long last week.. and Lunt lol hopefully he plays as wild as his career has been!! well that's my guess I might add to the bet but curious on your take before I take another shot at it. 

T-Tech great pick looks like a tough matchup for ASU and -3?.. this is alot of newbies playing a vet QB... can't bet against my team but I'd have def pulled the trigger here nice pick!

GA-So yay not much being talked about this one +400 offensive edge last year and that core of runners are a handful... and have to say SOBAM is off a big emotional win and feel like it's a bit of a misnomer... lotta champagne poppin for them this week lol..under 2 scores here feels good!

Of course that's it...2 Best Bets on Illinois including the call of a straight upset win by Illinois on the Money Line.  That's a ballsy call for a current 7.5 dog.  Since I am currently on NC, I am just curious about his rationale for that pickl...

Any take on Arkansas State?  I'll be honest I'm a complete college football junkie.  I watch about 30+ games each weekend.  This past weekend Arkansas State was one of the worst looking teams I witnessed.  Any reason why you are not only leaning on taking the points but calling straight up win as well?

Interesting that you mentioned UConn because in trying to whittle my card down to a reasonable number of plays, UConn was my final cut.  My hesitation is that it's a road game.  I do think they knock off the Middies though.  I like the play a lot!

Several have inquired about the Arky St./Auburn game, so I'll cobble something together on it soon.

Ok, this is my mistake, so let me clarify.  I should have put the ML plays on a separate line, as they are certainly not meant to be "Best Bets."  I really need to re-post so that it's clear.

NP Jimmy - as mentioned above, I am on NC.    I have already submitted my wager (don't want to use the L word in any context)...When you get a chance, just wanted to get your thoughts on the matchup and your backing of Illinois.   As my mentor Wise has told me, you learn from the bets you win, but you learn more by better refining your strategy for subsequent wagers from those you lose.    Thanks in advance.   And GL on Sat!

Pound Florida state now. 30 Charleston state players suspended for that game. 


They can hardly field a team after that attrition.

I'm assuming all your best bets? Would really appreciate it, looking to do a four or five team parlay, thanks very much..

My big 3-team parlay this week is South Florida -14, South Carolina +7 & Arkansas State +20.  Those are my actual numbers.

Nice one! it was at 40 when you sent this, taken off now but my bet is still locked in.. Heads up play!

Charleston So lost 2 QB's and another superstar to injury last week I think this was destiny. ..

Wassup jimmy... Good to see you back this year!! I remember a few years back you were killing your best bets. And you also had a trend that you would slam every other year involving the Bama/Ole Miss game. Can't remember but it was gold.

Question... How many units per play? Was it regular plays for 3x and best bet 5x?

Hi Jimmy,

Appreciate your input and all your contributions to this forum, truly one of the best. My Purdue line is +6 - would you still bet it at this line? Obviously big difference between 6 and 7.

Jimmy! Any concern with Arky St saying that roughly 14 players have what sounds like a pretty nasty stomach virus? I'd assume this would have to affect some starters and any potential depth. Line is currently -20 for Auburn. Thought? Much appreciated!
