*** Freak Pics *** (Week 6)

So you know him

You should hear him - no lie...."Ok babe, you got it babe"......then you hear the long drawn out hit and exhale of his cigarette phoooooosshhhh ....... "Ok, you got it Marky babe' - he's a classic. Cracks me up every time. I had to put him on speaker for my wife to hear a few years ago, so she could share the laugh too.

Anyway - I really like BGU -5 over UB this week. Any opinion?  Thanks. Also concerned, like others, with the USA line drop. No worries about USA? I hope.

Correct.  Appy State got hit around noon CST by Billy Walters I believe.

I think I won every single game last week where lines moved against me except one.  South Alabama was on of those games last week, and they covered my counterfeit line easily.  I really don't see a much different result this week.

No.  I'm referring to the team that has a decided advantage at the point of attack on one side of the ball or both sides.  It's the team that I think will win where most games are won and loss - in the trenches.

 Get you some South Alabammy before the books catch up to them.

I feel as though I've known him my entire gambling life.

Vinny the NY Bookie:  Hey Marky babe, youz want that South Alabammy team again this week???

CT:  Yup.  Did you get me down for -5?

Vinny the NY Bookie:  You think you're a real Wise Guy with this South Alabammy sh it don't you Marky babe???  Did you forget where you came from Marky???  People from the Bronx don't bet on South Alabammy Marky.  Youz thinks you're a real smart guy don't you???  Yeah, of course I got your South Bammy minus 5 Marky babe.  Why wouldn't I have it?

CT:  Thanks buddy!!!

Vinny the NY Bookie:  Yeah, we're buddies aren't we Marky babe???  Right Marky???  We're buddies right???

CT:  Yes, of course Vinny.  Is something bothering you Vin?

Vinny the NY Bookie:  Naw, naw naw Marky babe!!!  Everything is beautiful . . . just beautiful.  Why would you think something was bothering me???  South Bammy -5 right Marky babe???

CT:  Yeah Vin, South Alabama -5 please.

Vinny the NY Bookie:  Ok Marky babe, youz got it!!!  Tell your Ma I said "hello" ok Marky?

CT:  Yeah, sure thing Vinny.

I'm tempted to play South Alabama every week now just to get weekly "Vinny the NY Bookie" updates.

In other news, Bowling Green may have the worst defense in the history of organized football, and that's really saying something after watching Arizona State.  No way I could back that team.  And why would you want to?  There are so many better games on the card this week.

No worries on the line drop Marky babe.  This is a home pup getting the attention of some touts.  That's their MO.  See also Baylor @ Texas.  I still feel like many across the nation (including Vinny the NY Bookie) haven't really caught on to South Alabama at this point.  The Jags have played better competition than Appy State thus far, and are clearly the better team here.  I think they win this by 2 TDs.  Ride the wave Marky!!!

GL Big Man, Last week I should heave held my Tongue instead of questioning your Picks.  Without question, You're one of the Best.

I'm adding a couple of games here I like too;

OHIO/CAL/NEB/UNLV/MARSHALL/AZST/UAB/ULL/UTEP/MEMP/MIOH

I do.  South Carolina has played Texas A&M, East Carolina, Georgia, Vanderbilt & Missouri the past 5 weeks without a bye.  Now this week they are playing @ Kentucky.  That is brutal stretch.  South Carolina is very worn down football team right now.  I have no problem fading them in this spot.  I think Kentucky has a great shot to win this game straight up.

Kentucky +4.5 & ML.

Jimmy,

Great picks last week!!!  I played 11 of your picks and went 9-1-1.  If Memphis didn't garbage the bed it would have been 10-1.  Keep up the good work and it is very much appreciated.  Do you have any leans on tonights games.  I'm shocked the over under on the Oregon game just keeps climbing.  It is at 82.5 right now.  I don't see how Arizona can stop them but 82.5 is mind blowing.  Thoughts????

My favorite play tonight is:

FAU @ FIU UNDER 23.5 (1st Half)

I would not go that crazy on this game.  But -3 may warrant adding another unit to the play.

Yes, I saw that total climbing through the roof.  If I did anything I would play UNDER 43.5 strictly for value alone.

As I said above, I did add the FAU @ FIU UNDER 23.5 (1st Half) to my card.  This should be a very defensive game.
