BB... You can get Clem +3 v. SC now at Sportsbk. It was +3.5 last wk. Lattimore is worth lot more than .5. Their backup is likely freshman as they already lost 2 RB's and 1 FB already. If so, that's going to be a pretty young backfield.

well... i really don't bet Notre Dame games on a regular basis... but i have noticed two rules that seem to be very solid and reliable...

always bet the dog (especially over a TD) in Notre Dame games
if the football Gods should happen to give you the gift of Notre Dame in a BCS game during the Holiday season... cash in by betting against them

guess we'll see if Kelly can buck those trends... probably won't end up betting the game, but it's one of those i games where i expect to be watching it and somewhere mid-2nd quarter be pissed at myself for not betting on USC...

It seems the problem you are having is understanding how griffin is better at the college level but luck will be better at the next level?

You said since luck will be drafted higher he is better than griffin. As a Florida fan im sure you remember tebow. He was drafted 25th. By your logic there were 24 players better than tebow in college. Surely you dont believe that.

Im not judging anything at all by the number of a draft pick you are, However Luck will be the NUMBER ONE pick for a reason while no one is seriously even talking about the one some of you say is a better QB than him. How is Griffin better than Luck? I don't go off of these idiotic rankings in the draft but when the guy is a clear cut number one, there is a good chance he is the best QB in the college game. Sam Bradford is an example, I remember many thinking McCoy was better than him because of wins in college lol.. Im not saying Griffin is not a really good qb, but he is not as good as Luck is.

Hey Boom, i have been a "silent" fan of yours for quite some time and thought about registering a few times so that I could post some info on some of your threads, but always talked myself out of it, deciding to stay "silent".....

BUT.... I just cant sit here and continue to read all the BULLSHIT that your HATERS are posting!!! Somebody mentioned earlier about some of them being propable BOOKIES trying to mislead others, and thats also the way that i am leaming!!!

33 wanting to CHALLENGE YOU.... LMFAO, did you catch his first two "picks"? wanting to take MU +7 this week and then talking about K State next week beating OSU??? If that doesnt sound like a bookie trying to mislead followers then im not sure WHAT he is thinking.... I am a B-12 fan and MU homer, i'm not saying MU+7 isnt appealing since it is a home game for MU and Faurot field is a REALLY tough place for a visiting team to come in and win (hence the Sooners last time they came to MU ranked #1), BUT.... I really dont see this game being close this weekend, MU will be out played on BOTH sides of the ball

And then there is 33's second pick of K State BEATING Oklahoma AT Oklahoma next week??? WTF....

to BOOM

Damn, Boom! What's going on here??? Great stuff, although I am missing the WTF with Texas? Probably didn't even deserve a spot in your top 10 we learned! We learned that I have no idea what is going on with our team! Or play calling for that matter. Not accepting the young staff and team so much, but wtf are we doing?

GL this week, and I will be back strong this week in the SLC!

Get 'em Boom!!!!! These previous level sports bettors, just can't handle your handicapping swag. LOL

Just make a POY or BIGGEST BET EVER thread like everyone else, and maybe that'll boost your popularity.

Love the "Ten Things" this week, but give a little credit where it is due. Instead of questioning GT, take your hat off to Virginia. I don't think that's the only ACC team that will stop them. Miami is favored at home against them this week.

BOL as always. I love Wisconsin this week, or potential an Under play. Lord knows we both need a little with our O/U selections.

I have said sometimes he has some good insight on some games. BTW I take it that Boom has no interest in challenging me. Makes sense, this is his life and doesn't want to get his clock cleaned.

Just shut the fuck up guy. Thanks.

It's so easy to piss off people when this site is their entire lives. What do you say 5 games a week no units just ATS. My first pick is Missouri getting 7.5. Also I don't have "A TEAM" so talk about whoever you want. I graduated from OU that is why I stick to what I know best the Big XII. I bet mainly against OU because they are average on the road and should lose at Kstate next week which could be one of my next weeks play. Also you say you are so great at totals so 4 sides and 1 total. PROVE IT.

Seen this a dozen times here over the years.

Some unproven dope who thought he would get more love in his threads [ A dozen or so threads with less than 10 replies in it. ] is jealous of a more popular poster and wants to challenge him when he has nothing to lose and everything to gain.

This is not the first time you have done this ......I'm pretty sure you've done this " green with envy " act last year and got slapped silly in a thread.

BTW.... Stick around, you will find out about those totals.

I never told you that you were crazy about that game, just that I disagreed. You are good what you do but then again if all of us had nothing to do in our life but watch college football, we would probably be as good.

I think you are missing the point here. I think that Luck will be much better at the pro level but college is going to a spread em out attack. Griffin is way more athletic than Luck. Luck cannot make things happen with his feet. Luck can read defenses and pick a part a secondary with play action and a good offensive line. RGIII can go around and watch his receivers get open and then deliver the ball. Griffin doesnt need a ton of time. Shotgun, run around, throw it or take of running is typical RGIII, add a couple fade routes and thats what you have. You wont see him throwing many timing routes. Where as LUck is great at that and thats why he will be better at the next level but in college ball give me RGIII

No arguing with me either. Its my damn opinion!

BOOM!

I'm looking at a 3-team 10 pt teaser between Wisconsin (+1), West Virginia (-3.5), Clemson (Pk), and Kansas St. (-1). Which 3 are you most confident in?

BOL!

Boom -

You're a little bitch for making us all monies. I hate you because you are funny and make your thread enjoyable to read. I'm mad and feel like bitching since im not as cool as you, and definately not as good at capping games. Clemson sucks, even though they are kicking ass this year, and are sweet, AND, are probably better than my team. The only reason I am talking shit in your thread is because I wish my life was as cool as yours.

Sincerely,

Covers Haters

Ba ba ba ba boom boom boom na na na na heyyy yooo heeeyy yooo!!! Keep up the good work buddy!

Boom...Followed 3 of your picks last week and went 2 - 1 on them, Baylor screwed me, wish they had a defense. Anyways, what do you think of the below games...I know it's mostly chalk again, but these heavy favorites can't seem to not cover lately. BOL in week 8.

Oklahoma State -7
Clemson -10.5
Kansas State -11
Boise State -30.5
Georgia Tech +2.5
Alabama -29
