Week 9 Money

what a week of games, hard to believe we are heading to week 9

Bama & Ohio St both standard easy calls to make, that Bama defense had to play motivated after giving up 52 to vols & Iowa’s offense is laughable, lay those points & like it 

Clemson continues to find a way to win games, not elite & DJ finally got benched but our boy Dabo already named him starter going forward

Baylor got much needed win but they better get focused because a trip to Lubbock is never ideal, ask Texas & West Virg 

Texas got called for 14 penalties & 118 yds, Ok St got called for ZERO penalties, that’s the result of leaving the big12 in my opinion, I’m not about calling fixes or bs, just watch the tape on that game without considering any betting, it’s unreal, zero penalties haha, good win okie light, now you’re back in it, light loss at TCU doesn’t look so bad at the minute 

nice bounce back win for Penn St, congrats to James & the lions, this week you’ll be lambs, as in sacrificial, buckeyes by 91 in your backyard 

Oregon played amazing today, that onside kick & quick TD & then DTR throwing that end zone pick were the two biggest plays of the game, congrats duck fans & backers, great call

Memphis almost got crazy back door, Tulane just keeps winning, what a team they are, hard to believe they lost at home to southern miss but won at KState

miami & Mario were laying 10 to Duke & got fawked up, what a overrated team the canes are, double digits favorite losing at home to midd tn & Duke , Mario is a clown show 

I don’t like betting Mac but why was BG catching 8 at opener?  They win by 16 haha 

Texas tech rolled west Virg, they look nice slinging it around, poor WVU coach is probably fired after they lose to TCU & give up 45 at home, feel for him as west Virg not an easy job in that conference 

1. Ohio St

2. Georgia 

3. Tennessee

4. Tcu 

5. Michigan 

6. Clemson

7. Alabama

8. Oregon

9. Usc

10. Okie Light

Nice to see the Frogs win that for ya Hoo.....

Thoroughly impressed with:

Ducks and especially Bo Nix /Franklin at WR

Syracuse fighting to win/almost did as they had Tigers on the ropes!

Texas looks scary good with Ewers back at the helm but get a little more disciplined on offense

Morton is a stud for TTECH

Wake Forest flying under the radar.....

Did Lane Kiffin go brain dead in the 2nd half??

Boise digging in and winning 3 impressively in a row....still not Top 30 material though

Our Top 10's are somewhat similar....Bama back in the 5 slot !

I don't think Clemson is Playoff material having watched them  a few times

Good luck this coming week...nice to see you fired up for football and posting a lot! You are having a good season HOO!

@Last2thirst

 Thank you sir!  My health so bad this year it could be my last go man so I'm going out swinging, the more active I stay with football the better my days are

agree with your breakdowns, clemson not elite, I’ve said that all year but I have to give them credit for winning at wake & at fsu, acc is below average so they may go unbeaten vs those squads & make the playoff 

TCU has been awful at start of games but great at making in game adjustments, Max has played awful two weeks in a row & they still put up 38 & 43 in both games against legit teams, they should toy with west Virg this week & then get ready for the home stretch, upside is big for frogs if they get great QB play & have a better first half plan on defense

oregon played great today, ucla just couldn’t stop them, then the onside kick & another quick TD, it was curtains, bruins a bit soft on defense today, tip the hat to ducks, they’ve played well this year after the Georgia game 

lets have a good week 

Swingin >> couldn't help it with one of my fave Tom Petty Songs and all time . You hang in and fight for 100 bro!!

One of my fave movies for sure! Wasn't it out recently?? 

I am a sucker for a good sports movie like Bull Durham, Moneyball, J. Maguire, Clint Eastwood movies, Sopranos re-runs and Seal Team!

Come football season, every Saturday is a great football movie at least one game a Saturday

I have an acquaintance near lsu program & he kept telling me Brian Kelly isn’t a fit, I don’t care what part of the country you’re in, if you like winning then Brian Kelly is a fit!  Is he a dik? Yes!  Does he yell too much?  Yes!  Is he super likable? No!  Buuuuuut, that dude wins & he win a title at lsu in the next 5-6 years.  You guys won with Les Miles & Ed O, you’re going to win with BK, give him time, he’s doing another great coaching job with that roster , as the Cajuns say “Geaux Tigers!” 

good matchups this week 

big look ahead spot for Vols with trip to Athens on deck?  can that style of offense Kentucky plays hurt Vols defense though ?

okie light visits Manhattan Kansas, the cathedral, the mothership, the all time Wahoo home covering squad, do I go back to the well with the sneaky good homefield advantage over an exhausted Poke team ?

Utah @ Wazzu is a gem

ecu @ byu is a gem

ohio st @ Penn st 

TCU @ WVU 

both Ohio st & TCU play early games Saturday , what a way to start your day 

Love your work Wahoo - are you trying to steal BWS77s thunder with your observations and overreactions here 

All this talk of getting old - I reckon you’re comparable with KeyElement and Lippsman (RIP)

One day I’ll learn to wait on games before betting - particularly when the line isn’t moving - until I’ve read what all the pros think. UCF being a case in point…..

Onwards and upwards…..

@Ramanujan

 Thank you!  I’ll never steal the thunder of BW, his threads are unique & he’s very sharp, I’m just passing time while I get ready for week 9

who you looking at this week? 

Oh Liberty!  Another cover for Hugh Freeze, what a great coach he is, if I were Auburn I’d be dialing him up, he already proved he can beat Saban with lesser talent, he quietly has Liberty top 25 caliber with their backup players, they lost by 1 at Wake!  

Freeze 

UCLA had no chance after the onside kick, SC kids were playing in 40 degree drizzle the 2nd half and never gave up. Respect that. When Martinez went down for K state I knew I was done. Cal covering after I went to bed was a nice morning surprise. WV plus a touchdown at home vs TCU is an auto bet for me. Bama still doesn’t look like Bama this year, missing that GUY at WR. Ol Piss died in the original Death Valley. Lane should never wear a light blue hoodie on the sideline. Iowa QB and TX A&M QB are baad, watching either one play is like getting a double root canal. Jimbo was lucky he had Jameis, not a good HC. SMU back door was brutal, saw it coming when it was 29-14. Clemson is not elite, been waiting for DJ to come back to earth. He is average at best. If Dabo would suck up his ego and play the kid Klubnik he would help the team. With that D they would definitely have a shot, but Dabo is Dabo.

TooDooLoo… 

Petty was best concert I ever seen live

Wahoo thx for all of your contributions as usual your insight into CFB is legit. 

The series history in the Wisconsin and Oregon games held true to form and should play a significant part in selecting a side or leaving the game alone. 

you’re 100% right 

thanks for post newton

@WahooS

How you doin' buddy ?

I was taking a look at the Duke/Mia preview and saw from here to china Duke was the wrong dog and was my first write up EVER , and thankfully it happens almost exactly as i saw it , just missed the 35 - 31 prediction but were 66 points on the total 45 - 21 . I think the U is waaaay over valued .

I had a strong lean on BGU the win and the over but hesitate and didnt post for that play and got surprised it wons and went over , maybe next time i will not be that coward and go with my gut LOL .

I agree 100% on the TCU starting aweful the games but they made great in game adjustments and do the right thing , very strong team , i dont know the line vs WV but i am thinking will be around the 20's , dont think WV deserves more respect on the ats cause its a pretty avg team .

The Penn St game was a no play for me cause they have been very inconsistent and Minnesota for me is an overrated team . Hope Penn st gets back on track...not this week vs Oh St LOL but i think they are much better team than Minny .

tip.

thoughts on circa opens 

iowa nw 31.5 total i still wont be on this over 

bc -10 on the road to uconn uconn + the points and a sprinkle on the ml please 

kind of surprised that cin laying less 3 at ucf 

hawaii quietly on a uptick like the plus 10 vs bad wyoming offense 

Illinois looks good at - 6.5 , it opens at -5.5 . I think this line will keep going up during the week and i think if it goes to -10 ( so speech ) could stil beign a good play to go . Nebraska has a good offense but a pretty bad defense and Illinois has a good offense and a pretty good defense . 

I’ll be back to respond to you guys, trying to eat, thanks!!  

these are my early ones so far 

Tulsa +3

Kansas St PK

Tcu -6

Me too...next to Rush and ACDC/Stones in Toronto .....UNFRICKEN REAL all 3 of them back to back! Beautiful summer night

ACDC overshadowed the Stones despite,  the Stones being almost perfect. I used to work for Warner Bros music doing functions to promote tours and got to see the Stones perform live only 20 minute walk from house in W. Toronto at the Ballroom on Lakeshore.... saw Tom Petty acoustically unplugged with Neil Young and had chills

But Tom Petty with his band in a big venue, agree....unreal!!

getting so old I forgot about KState qb situation & just watched KState TCU game twice, haha, was scrambling , anyhow I bought out & will wait on Martinez status & most likely a teaser partner in the end instead of straight 

TCU & Tulsa are it for now 

once Seahawks game is over I’ll be back to chat these week 9 games 

@WahooS

 Why no fair catch on that onside kick?  Didn't they hear?

Had seahawk first half over for small but it’s over already so now let’s chat football 

@1969USC

 Unbelievable to be asleep there, oregon was just better in most phases yesterday, they played a wonderful game , if Bo doesn’t choke they should put it on Cal, I know the spot favors Cal because of the duck letdown but damn Cal looks bad 

@tiptnk

 I’m gonna look at this more, I appreciate the post, thinking maybe tease potential
