My young computer program was a real loser in week 1 with a 2-4-1 record. With a few breaks I could have been 4-2-1, but that's why nothing is certain in this thing. I had Wisconsin(-26.5), and Rutgers (-3.5). Wisky had two trips inside the 5 with no points to show, and was still covering with 36 seconds to go when Akron scored there meaningless TD to get the spread. Rutgers had twotrips inside the five with nothing to show, and also missed two field goals all in the first half. Lost a ton of momentum. They went into the locker room at 0-0, and got pummeled in the 2nd half.
So far this week I've went thru about half the games, and have three plays so far. I don't feel real good about these, but I'm determined to follow this system all year, or until my roll is busted.
Week 2 Selections
Utep (+26)
Syracuse (-4.5)
Michigan (-14)

Like I said, this is a young system I'm trying to develope. Utep lost by 25 or so at Buffalo, so it is hard to imagine them only losing by 26 to Texas, but I'm gonna follow it without considering my own opinions on games.

I like the Cuse alot here. Good chance for them to pick up a win. If I had to take a shot on the Miami/Michigan game, I'd go lightly on Michigan. Maybe a little look ahead to ND.
Good Luck.

Huck, this program will be called "roll eater 8000" until I post a profit.
Tejas/Soul, you two fellas must have trouble with reading comprehension. I did not compare Texas and Buffalo at all. Please read carefully before you come in swingin.

Actually UTEP is the play here. UT coming here is the huge deal for their program and are one of the best DDHD (had a lot of practice at it) teams out there. I dont see UT being interested in covering this on the road.

I'll be at the game Saturday night and I can tell you this...this is UTEP's biggest home game ever, AND, in all actuality with the craze to get tickets to this thing, it is the biggest event EVER in the history of El Paso, bigger than any other football game, basketball game, concert, etc...even bigger than when the Cowboys played a pre-season game at the Sun Bowl about 10 years ago or so.
UTEP hosted Texas Tech a couple years ago and if I remember correctly they were something like 17 point underdogs...with the adrenaline of the home crowd they were in it to the very end and lost by 3. I'm not saying that's gonna happen here, I want to take Texas myself. This Texas team is better than that Texas Tech team and this UTEP team is not near as good as THAT UTEP team from a couple seasons ago, BUT...it all points to Texas, everybody and their grandma is calling Texas BIG in this thing, and, us gamblers have seen this far too many times before. Maybe UTEP really is the play here getting nearly 4 TD's at home behind the most raucous crowd the Sun Bowl will probably EVER see.
Food for thought fellas...

Vegas is so fucking stupid! How dumb are they to post lines like UTEP +26 and SJSU +26? Don't they know that these teams suck? They're going to lose by 50+!!!
Never mind the trolls Kaplan. GL this week.

Your right about Texas Longhorn alumni in attendance...however, that will probably equate to I'm guessing 5,000-8,000 Longhorn fans in attendance compared to 44,000-47,000 UTEP Miner fans in attendance. Austin is not right down the street from El Paso, it's 600 miles away. The large majority of tickets to this thing went to season ticket holders and UTEP students. Students had a 10,000 ticket allotment, Texas received I believe 3,000 ticket allotment, and season ticket holders gobbled up approximately 38,000...when tickets went on sale to the public there were less than 1,000 tickets left. There will be Longhorn fans in attendance, but, they will be a MAJOR minority in the stadium Saturday night.

Actually, I've been leaning with those picks. The only one that's a definite play is ASU -14.
UTEP just shit its pants after getting punched in the face early by (what they thought was a weak) Buffalo and summarily got trounced. Vittatoe is really a solid QB and lets not forget that UT, despite all that talent, had one of the worst passing D's last year.
I thought that bringing in Muschamp would be an upgrade, but some poster, and I wish I had the link, enumerated all the gaffes he made while at Auburn.
You know what, I'll be the contrarian with you, I'll take UTEP (but for small money )

Never mind the trolls Kaplan. GL this week.
I really hope you're being sarcastic when u say something like that bc if you're not then u shouldn't be posting on here let alone betting. That statement right there makes me want to take the underdogs. It doesn't sound like you're joking around and that is so far beyond stupid there's not even a word for it. Maybe u should start setting the lines and see how good u r at it since you're the genius.

all your picks this week were shitty lw. your computer should find some other soft games like ID/AZ lw or FL/HI lw. Syr looked shitty against NW as did MI with UT. UTEP had to be shitty if they lost to Buffalo. To me there should be other games out there to choose
