Freaks  Sickos  Whack-jobs  Dedicated subscribers

Bad picks last wk . Take the praise - have to get in here and take the beatings like a man.  Still very happy with the results this yr but last wk was our 2nd losing weekly effort and worst showing of the season so far. Thanks very much for all the kind words in the wk 8 thread after we were battered and bruised. We would not do this if it were not fun - and you bunch of crazed lunatics make it worth the effort. Let's get going to week 9. Starting it early as the Betonline lines are coming out.  We are not gonna jump in too soon - but just in case something tasty pops up.............


As always - rules of engagement
1. Goal of the thread is for us to present the findings of our WORLDWIDE RESEARCH STAFF and let you guys take the information and use it for your own decision making on bets. Sorry it gets cluttered but we love the banter and intel.
2. We will note our official picks in "bold". For example - ALERT subscribers will note that the bold picks last wk went a very impressive 0-3 . Strong leans (plays we really want to make and might have small degenerate cash on - but cannot fully recommend and are not official plays) and leans (action for people with serious issues - hopefully still hit 54-55%) will be noted.


Special thanks for those who chimed in last wk with recommended plays and local intel - You will note that this thread has been a gold mine for tasty morsels  given to us by Covers Nation. Bandos came up with S Miss I believe last wk for just one example.

GL ! mega

This looks to be a week you will need to be willing to lay some chalk, or will have to look very carefully to find value in dogs, based on some opening lines I'm seeing... keep your eyes peeled!

might wanna peek at ok st v wvu. 

don't know the spread but shouldn't matter for ok st as they are coming off two straight road games--the last an embarrassing loss--against a wvu team on the road that should have a letdown off their big win.

Always look forward to your in depth write ups throughout the week leading up to kickoff, and always grateful for the couple picks I use on Saturdays

Mega,   Very strong play on Memphis -22 this week.  Horrible SMU team showed signs of give up this week. It is what it is and SMU has nothing close to a FBS team. Tough schedule but very weak play. I always play the SMU TT under.  Won all but the ECU game. No way I would jump off a winner next week.

I was raised in Dallas and live close by so followed for 50 years.  I'm way older than that but have a pretty good idea on local teams. Take a look @ Rice -13.5  -  N. Tx..   Rice plays decent and N. Tx.  is another weak team.  No QB to speak of.

Curious about your thoughts on Nev. -4 @ Hawaii  and Ariz. -3.5 @Wash. St.  No play yet but like both those.


GL,   Doc

GL this week Mega.  I think a lot of cappers struggled in week 8, including me. 

Anyway, the name of the game is to stay focused on the present and don't dwell on the past.

Lay the hammer on Nevada. UH has zero offense. Rolovich, the Nevada OC will be making a case for himself to be the next Hawaii coach. He also wasn't retained by Chow when he became head coach so he'll have his guys focused.

Fasa,   I hear you!  Both times.    Yeh I agree with the general pick but thanks for that coaches being pissed off and they're mad part of it. I guess that may be a player  but I'll play it because Nev. is the team.

Not sure a coaches piss off will matter but thanks.     GL,   Doc

Fans want him he seems like a logical choice. Pecador Hawaii is usually scary to bet against at home because of travel and distractions. Won't be much of an issue for Nevada with Rolovich on staff is all I'm saying. On top of that, there is a big talent discrepancy.

Was also looking at Memphis.

i don't see a letdown for wvu, ok st is beyond pathetic. Hard lesson I learned last week picking these fools and saw them miss tackles left and right.

After watching the SFSU/Hawaii game (in hi def lol) they will not be able to do much with their QB. Nevada should be able to move the ball on that defense. -4 looks tempting. But there's that island magic you may have r to deal with;(

North Texas is weak this year and Rice always seems disciplined might take Rice in this one. SMU seems like you could profit betting AGAINST them ALL season (like the Oakland Raiders - 12 SU losses in a row) why not? No way on hell would I trust my $ with NT or SMU this year.
