BOL Train. Some of us don't post much but enjoy those like you who do.

Here's to making some money.

Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

some good looking ML parlays...

Navy should be able to run around enough to keep the total from going over, and also like them getting the points, seems like a big number

good luck this season

It's looking like I'm going to be "stealing" quite a few of your plays in this opening week.

Interesting read. I'm on Under psu/ucf, Marshall, and I was leaning towards the under in the Monday night game. BOL this season!

Dont let me sway you if you lean UCF. The game is a pick em for a reason. Good matchup with a ton of variables + crazy neutral field. I simply like the PSU offense better in this game with UCF replacing its 2 most importnat offensive players...

College football has moved down a notch since about 18 months ago.... . However, I think it helps me focus when I do have time to watch sports/"study".

I am a year older and a year wiser. That, as Im sure you are aware, does mean more knowledgable. I know cfb and all the angles/trends/stats/situations etc. But, I use my intuition and eyes more than anything. I havent paid a bookie or depsited online for over 4 years now (almost 5), beleive it or not. No, I am not making $1 million per year, just keeping a bankroll up.

I've been on here about 12 years now. I am also more savvy to the covers forums. You will see lots of new faces, *locks*, GOM/GOY, people on 34-2 runs that thought they would make their 1st post to "help everyone"....My advice? Grain of salt people. There is a vasy amount of knowledge that can be gained here, you just gotta sift through the sh!t...its not all gold.

I will help the trolls out. Heres whats wrong with most of my threads:

1) I post unavailable lines

2) My parlays are ridiculous

3) I play waaaay too many games

4) I'm too arrogant/cocky

I am what I am. Good or bad. I'm not cocky or arrogant. If you read my threads you will understand its all sarcasm. I do play a lot of games, but I aint betting 5k per game. $100-500 is pretty much it. So yeah, on a saturday I will have 2-3K in bets. I dont understand what thats inconceivable to some. I'd rather try and go 16/25 than 2/3. Accuracy by volume.

Like I said in a thread last year, I have no illusions about myself......

I dont gamble to win. I gamble so I can gamble tomorrow.

Plays in a bit.....

OK ENUFF WITH SMALL TALK WHERE ARE THEM 10 WINNERS

South Carolina/Ole Miss ML parlay -160 I like both teams to win....not thrilled about laying double digits....

Ole Miss/Boise St U56.5 ....Ole Miss struggled on O last year vs decent teams.... 0 vs Bama, 22 vs Aub, 27 vs LSU, 10 vs Mizzou, 10 vs Miss St and 25 vs GT. I like Bo Wallace, but he still makes too many mistakes. Boise will be smart and tough as always, even without Peterson at the helm. Should see a lot of Ajayi carries...

Temple +16 ....What can I say you dont know? Vandy lost its coach, QB, RB and top 2 receivers (and only real playmakers). Their O line is shakey and defense is thin and young. Temple is....a basketball school! Duh! Howver, PJ Walker is a stud in waiting and if he can get some help, the Owls could have a decent season. The defense wasnt good last year, but should be improved by default. Main problem was in the secondary, but I dont think Vandy will be ready to exploit that in week 1....

Wash St/Rutgers O60.5 .....I fully expect both offenses to be better than the defenses. Leach should have the offense a little more fine tuned and I see no reason they dont put up 40+. I can see both teams getting to 30 actually. I lean WSU, but wont bet them unless its a teaser....

Colorado St +3 & U65 .....These are actually 2 of my favorite bets this week. Sure, they put up 68 points last year....on some big plays and busted coverages. Colorado St will be ushering in some new RBs and Colorado will just be terrible. Should be an ugly game. Gimme the Rams 27-20

Navy +17.5 .....I keep reading about how Ohio St will be ok with the triple option since they've had all summer to prepare for it. Not so fast my friends. Practice is one thing....getting chop blocked all day is another. Navy will be disiplined and methodical, like always. OSU has some big holes to fill on offense. Will they be hitting on all cylinders game 1?....on the road no less. Doubtful.

Arizona/UNLV O57 .....Rich Rod wants to score 80 ppg. He will get to atleast 41 in this game. Gonna bank on the Rebels to put up 17, which is a scary thought. However, I think they will be improved enough and have enough fight that even 4th quarter scores will be meaningful to them. Dont really wanna lay 24ish at the moment.

Idaho Team Total U8.5 ....A night game at the Swamp? Oh brother. The Gators need a big win to boost morale and settle the fan base down. They are "healthy", and I dont see Idaho scoring 2 times (or kicking 3 fgs). I also, dont not really feel like laying 35 with Florida right now. Should be a 48-3 game, but 38-7 sure dont look that far off.....

Ohio St/Navy U 63....Gotta assume there will be a lot more running by the Bucks, and the long ball shouldnt be as big a factor....

Penn St/UCF U48 .....May still play PSU, as Hackenburg will have a solid year, but a lot of oddities in this game. PSU new coach and filling some holes while UCF has to replace most of its O. Add being overseas.....yuck. I think unlike the Wazzu/RU game, both defenses will be better than the offenses....

Michigan/App St O50.5 ....The Wolverines will find success on the ground and through the air. Gardner should be able to move the ball, as the O Line should have been a focus in the off season....not to mention App St wont be getting much push up front. ASU returns 17 starters, including a jr qb and soph rb that both had decent seasons last year (yes, they were 4-8). The O line has a lot of starts under their belt. Laying 34 with Michigan doesnt entice me in the least, but neither does catching 34 w/ App St. I see no reason this isnt a 41-10 game at worst...

LSU/BYU/BC ML parlay +105 .....Yep, parlays are stupid. However, if BC and BYU take care of very winnable games, I should be able to get Wisky +4 or better come saturday night for a middle opportunity if I so desire. Kinda like the over in this game since I havent seen one person like it yet.....

Bowling Green/Georgia ML parlay -115 ....I think the BG offense will be pretty solid and they can win this game, but the value is long gone in the spread. Georgias offense should be pretty solid as well, and Dabo gotta replace too much to pull an upset on the road in game 1....

USC -20.5 (-120)

Miami/LVille U56

Marshall -23.5

ADD:

Wash St -1/W Mich +18.5 teaser .....Been leaning both ways for a couple weeks, and you know I cant resist more action.

Clemson/UGA U58 .... Too many new faces for Clemson (in the most importnat spots) to put up the kinda numbers they had last year, but the defense should be improved. UGA has weapons everywhere, but I expect a pretty vanilla offense until Mason gets his feet wet.

Penn St +9/N Western -3 teaser ....What can I say? The lines have moved enough to "force" me to play this.....

Rice/ND O51 .....I think Golson will be an big upgrade to this offense and they should be able to put 38+ on the board. On the other side of the ball, ND loses several guys (graduation/suspension), and are implementing a new D (going from Diacos 3-4 to a 4-3). Should be a few growing pains. Rice has had some success in recent years (won 15 of last 19), and even though the will be starting a new qb, I think they have enough playmakers to get on the board a few times.

Still waiting on a few.....
