I always enjoy your threads as one of the few that win here, mainly cause you think outside the square box.  I like the under a lot, just hate taking two plays on the same game, I may take under half the wager size before game time if it creeps up a little more.  The under is the play for sure though.

Watch out for that UCLA game... Tennessee is an entirely new team this year, especially at home. The Kiffins have that team ready to go, offensively and defensively. Once they get a lead, Head Kiffin will NOT let up on the Bruins.  Tennesee by 17 to 27...
 
As for tonight, Im looking for Toledo to PASS PASS PASS all over Colorado's defense.  If Stucker could throw for 200 yds on his FRIST collegiate start, then this Opelt can do much more, after throwing for almost 500 last week.
 
I agree that this games going UNDER.  So much passing on Toledos part, and Colorado playing catch up, wont let anybody get into a rhythm... and thats why I dont think COL scores much tonight.
 
TOLEDO +3.5 and UNDER 54 - Both Medium plays
Tennesee -10 - Large play
 
Love the Virginia play... always tough at home, especially as a dog. Plus its TCU's first game, they wont be ready for a defense thats already shook out the cobwebs...did I mention this game was at Virginia and theyre a dog?

HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU COME TO THIS CONCLUSION?

I hope it's not because of what they did to Western Kentucky...possibly the worst team in division 1 football.

I also hope it's not because of ANYTHING Kiffen has said, he talks a big game but his team hasn't even been remotely tested...


...Tennessee had A LOT of trouble to start with Western Kentucky, I would know because I bet on the Vols...


...this team has shown me NOTHING as of yet and I'm more than happy to get 10 points in this game which is shaping up to be a defensive battle.

#1. Unc has the better coach .. he can flat out coach
# 2 .. Uconn ran for 240 yards vs ohio .. Ohio dline weighed 200 pounds less combined .. this wont happen with UNC as i mentioned they have big run stoppers and b+ recruits the past 2 years
# 3 .. Uconn will turn the ball over just like they did vs a crap ohio Defense ..
#4 ... Blocking punts is part of football .. better athletes lead to special teams turnovers ..

I respect you as a capper, but someone I think You like laying a tiny unit on a team as an underdog and try to prove to members that you are great .. There isnt much thought here .. A team that has been rising, only losing a great WR and improving in other areas and a uconn team losing its best 2 defensive players and a top 5 RB ..

unc 28-17

Yes, I flat bet all my sports, 95% of the time it is one unit, I'm sorry I'm not like other members who always say 8 or 12 or 25 unit game...would it make you feel better if I did.  Every game I have wagered this week (including baseball) is 1 unit...1.3 being the most on Alabama last week.

Isn't this the sign of a seasoned veteran?  I've always thought the units shouldn't vary that much.  Pick a side, place the units you are comfortable with and hope for a 60% success rate.  Chasing a loss is what gets people in trouble

Go Bucks!

Kiffin brought in so many good recruits and they had a great offseason to prepare them for the upcoming season to make a statement...

The punishing they put on Western Kentucky was a practice of what theyre going to do to UCLA...

UCLA got pass UT last year at home in OT... This is a much better tennessee team than last year, and UCLA has a new QB that hasnt even stepped into an SEC Stadium of fans, their only offensive threat is Franklin as a RB, who isnt that good.... Tennessee has the better athletes...period.

Also, Tennessee's O-line and D-line are much bigger than UCLA's, look for Prince to struggle big time, a lot of scrambling, a couple INT's ...

Tennessee's gameplan passing wise, should be to stay away from UCLA SS Moore... he's the only defensive threat on UCLA...Crompton will have all the time in the world to throw tomorrow...

PAC10 going into an SEC stadium against an improved SEC team that is better coached... ill give UCLA 17 pts...

The best bet for this game is probably a second half bet, considering UT takes time to turn the heat on...

 

GL to you either way... youre a very respectbul capper, and I enjoy your cards every week!

UCF +?

Wyoming +?


I like the Toledo game with ML(Maybe even over 55) and the Central Mich game with +21

Think V tech will blow Marshall out to try and recover from last weeks lose and stand out in the ACC

I also think Kansas will have this by 14-17 look for the over on this game.

Don't know enough about others to play. BOL

See I don't understand...you beat down T-REV for supporting Tenn just because you believe they played poorly last week yet.....
 
Rewind the clock last year around this time..I was at the Scottsdale Princess enjoying the sun and cocktails from my winnings from the previous week LAYING HEAVY $'S on USC.  And there you were, supporting the "Vest" once again.  Every big game he lets you down.  You down personally.  And yet you come back for more. I commend your loyalty.  But the Vest, well, he's like that Colorado Coach from his glory Boise days....dated and stale.
 
USC punches OSU in the fricking groin tomorrow!!!!!!  On your field!
 
I'll flip you a coin from my winnings.

USC v Ohio St  I see a game very much like last year's.. Barkley is the real deal and won't be asked to do too much.  Just enough passes to keep the defense honest..  SC 31 Ohio St 13

Good Luck tomorrow! I believe it should be a much better game than last year. Playing in your house scares me a bit, but SC has done well in the past in hostile environments. I have great resepect for your program and hope it's a good clean game. Are you going to the game? 
 
Enjoy the game!
