USC Notre Dame is the game I going to try and figure out. Look forward to watching that one. Throw a few picks in later. Let me know what you think if you have time.

Also like seeing you show TCU lots of love, I'm not quite ready to put them ahead of Georgia, but have to think they have a better road to go undefeated

What's your thoughts on SMU this week? I liked them at the opener but now -8.5 might be a little out of my range 

BOL this week

TCU winning like they did at OK St (dominant) is more impressive than Georgia winning like they did at Notre Dame (1 point), also don't think UGA has played anyone besides Notre Dame

last 4 wins

Vandy (below average team)
Miss St (decent team I guess)
Tennessee (awful team)
Mizzou (awful team)

just being real, the SEC is poor this season and certainly below their normal standard of excellence

I like Georgia quite a bit and think they can really shut down a run game, they really limited a very good Notre Dame running game, I do they can be exploited a bit in the air though and TCU could do that, Mizzou just did it (only had the ball 20 mins of the game and threw for 253 yards)

we will see how it shakes out, Bama and Georgia may both go unbeaten, TCU may lose twice, who knows

I just think the TCU win at Ok St is very impressive so I have them ahead in the poll

never know, could be a decent week to give one out, after the beating this forum took last week, maybe it's time to lift the spirits out there

Why not create a separate thread for your picks where you can ignore all dumb responses?

All the best

nobody trolls my threads, they troll many others though

I've never posted all my plays on this forum since 2004 when I joined, I just post fewer of them now, I bet 14 games last week and posted 3, went 2-1, not bad

I like to discuss games/matchups etc, I still give a few plays out

I've always had just one thread, that's how I do it, hope you win this week

Wahoo.....GL this week. I'm looking forward to your posted plays....I am still watching and learning and cutting out the noise.

Is Khalil Tate going to keep it rolling and Zona going as well. Bettors are onto Zona.....line is climbing to -3 ...Was that you banging one hard and Vegas taking notice ?

I'm going to start by stating that you are having a great year but since you came into my thread and asked my opinion I have to be honest my friend, I wouldn't bet any of those

Houston can't sustain offense and the locals are mailing it in after last week's loss, doubt it has a great home crowd, Memphis can score, if Ferguson plays well Memphis wins that game in my opinion

the Michigan game is tough as I'm not much help with Big10 games but that offense they have is really bad, I'd have to lean to Penn St if anything in that one (I generally avoid Big10 like I do a "big boned" woman)

Texas is coming off a very tough rivalry loss, Okie Light coming off a scrimmage against Baylor, I think Okie Light blitzes them through the air and gets it done in Austin

this game has me puzzled, I had Notre Dame circled like 3 weeks ago waiting to pounce on it like a cat, a smoking cat 

but something has me sitting out thus far and I can't put my finger on it, I simply can't bet it right now and I don't know why

I once brought home a 6, woke up and thought "why?"....I'm saying 6 to seem cool, she was probably more like a 4.5

same feeling I have at the moment on this game, why can't I bet it?

I think because the preseason line was USC minus 210.5 and now Notre Dame is favored ( a team nobody thought would be any good)

I'll probably just watch the game and see what happens, as a USC fan I'm hoping the Trojans can win but they are beat up and Darnold hasn't played that well this year, don't know if Dame can stop the Trojan run game either

is this the game Darnold shines and the run game thrives all in the same game?  if so, USC would put it on them, who freaking knows, I'll just sit out I'm thinking and see what happens 

should be a good watch

Mich ML& Mich I will be playing. Call it a hunch. Not sold completely on other two  but appreciate the feedback. I will also be playing Cal. Just getting started though and I am sure will have another full board. 

Notre Dame is just a big dunno to me. Don't like Kelly and is Georgia that good? USC hasn't looked great but they keep winning but more importantly keep fighting. I will take the 4 in a rivalry game with better athletes.

your hunch is probably right as mine is rarely right in the big10,  my gut thinks Penn St works them but that is probably wrong , I just don't bet big10 games unless I'm feeling super risky and that hasn't been the case lately, just wanting the easy wins in life

any Hoo is welcome, that automatically means you are smart enough to hang in my thread

Agreed on N. Dame- I want to pounce on them but mainly because despite its talent, USC seems soft and they are one of the most undisciplined teams that I have watched this year. Week in and week out they seem poorly coached. I wouldn't be surprised if they get a few big plays in their passing game and the Irish win by 3. I also feel that Penn St. is a bit over rated. I am not sold on their defense at all. I love Barkley but I think Michigan's physical style on degense will give them tons of problems- the one physical team the Penn St. played(Iowa) gave them fits and I see the same from this Michigan team. I am surprised at the line on this one despite Penn St. being at home. Good luck this week!!

Not concerned the trolls- I will always be happy discussing games with guys like you and the others who I respect. They certainly won't stop me from capping and posting games and hoping to help others make a little bit of $$$-

I'm watching the Astros/Yankees game since I have money involved so if you have any games you want my opinion on then fire away, it's top of the 4th now so we some time, it's hard to stare at baseball so looking at this works ideal

my top 10 (not a debate, just revolving door top 10)

1. Bama (just standard dominance vs Arky)
2. TCU (good road win in little Manhattan with plenty of distractions)
3. Georgia (great team but if Mizzou can score like that so can TCU)
4. Clemson (bad loss but should get QB back and rebound)
5. Penn St (this team isn't better than Clemson, simple)
6. Oklahoma (good rebound win against physical Texas team)
7. Ohio St. (pounding bad teams now, still don't like QB play or secondary)
8. Okla St. (explosive offense, need better trenches for big boys)
9. Miami (living on the edge, won't go unbeaten most likely)
10. Wisc (schedule sets up nicely for playoff run, need better passing)



close by no cigar
Notre Dame (good loss to UGA, coming off bye, should beat USC)
Washington - bad loss to ASU, offense isn't explosive enough
USC - escaped another one, not impressed with Helton, good road test this week vs Notre Dame, will see if Notre has health back at QB

other thoughts

Butch Jones is done, may as well fire him this week, nobody thinks he stays and I think he knows it's over, that team is awful to watch

good road win for Texas A&M, Sumlin is keeping his job, Aggies need to have realistic expectations, to this point they are only team that looked like they semi belong on the field with Bama, could be argued they are the 2nd best team in the conference, maybe Auburn

Auburn leads 20-0 and offense is moving with ease, all of a sudden they died on the field, what an amazingly awful coaching job that was, zero in game adjustments, lose to LSU, yikes, just terrible

Wazzu was exposed for who they really are, a nice top 15-20 style team that still can't protect their QB, Falk probably already a candidate for CTE, poor kid, I think he needs to retire, I really do, he's taken a brutal beating at Wazzu over the years, feel bad for him, I never had this team in my top 10 because they aren't a top 10 team and I love the pac 12

Florida needs to fire their coach, I've only said that since they hired him, that team is terrible

UCF is really good, just note that, gangster team, love them, also an ATS machine, Scott Frost is going to name his job if he chooses to leave that recruiting hotbed, he may have the best team in the state of Florida, UCF would have a chance to beat Miami but I can't rank them that high because of schedule

USF also a good team but lose to UCF at end of the year

Ou nice bounce back win, they allowed Texas to hang around, Sooners offense marched up and down but couldn't handle that physical beating from Texas, Texas just beats up teams

Iowa St looking okay, not bad, no letdown ATS after huge upset win

North Texas sneaky good in conference, watch them, I'm making money with that team


may the good guys win more money this week and rest of you keep getting buried so our forum will be a touch more quiet 







I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.

nunong--

would lean to Memphis, still thinking about betting them

Houston honestly isn't a very good team but their offense should be able to score on Memphis, they need to score early though, they are more of a front runner, they can't play from behind as well

I don't like being against the weeknight home teams, it would seem those crowds always bring it a bit more, not sure what to expect here since the mood toward this Houston team is down locally, Major isn't doing a very good job if we are being honest

Kyle Allen was damaged goods. Not sure it was smart to start him. Postma makes mistakes but I think they are asking too much of him. If Houston simplified and ran more with Catalon/Postma out of backfield, it would limit mistakes, shorten games and keep the defense fresh.... They just arent suited to play like they have. Agree 100% That they cant play from behind. Memphis on the road with short week after playing Navy sealed the pick for me... Plus Ferguson lil banged up.... laying the chalk and expect Houston to bounce back

Thinking Saben vs Jones should be lined in the 40’s, really, Nick is on the opposite end of the spectrum from maybe the worst coach in the SEC, And perhaps the country.
Appreciate your thoughts, thanks
