Not sure how much of a difference maker these guys are, but CSU is supposed to be getting back 2 of 3 OL starters that have been out since Week 1 (vs Michigan).

some rumblings that Jurkovec could be coming back (and possibly tomorrow night)...not sure if a real possibility, but would certainly be a nice boost to that BC bet.

FanDuel has it up @ OU -6.5

Great insight wheels!  Especially regarding improvement up front with Florida's defense.  Mizzou Off had been playing pretty well and they completely shut down their rush attack...< 2ypc.  After they had just gone for 220yds vs Kentucky (not a great YPC avg, but still).  I think that is the key plus it's going to be windy (15+ mph winds) and Bennett already struggles to throw outside the hashes...if they can slow the run and clog the middle, force Bennett to make throws outside their def should be able to hold up pretty well.  I wanted to bet UGA big as well leading up to it, but just can't get there w/ Bennett (inj on def don't help either, but not as much a worry).  Over might be a potential play as well, but the wind gives me a little pause...Trask can throw some ducks as well.

Anyone see a book that has posted odds for winning Big 10 east/west?  I feel like the West is a total crap shoot this year, wanted to a shot on NW...could see it being a cannibalization type situation and they win it at 5-3 or something.

take a gander over at the National Fixed League forum

Never did d!ck at PSU, but maybe a change of scenery is what he needs.  Hard to imagine that the light switch flips on vs better talent though, but maybe.

Sorry bout your Bills man, was on them too. NFL shady as chit. Just at the end - phantom blindside block to negate a shot at GW FG, no delay call on the 3&18 (plus blatant holding). 

probably shouldn’t have come down to that given the start they got out to, but tough going against an NFL team AND the league office!

HNY Double!  Hope you and the fam had a great holiday season. I see this bowl season has been a rough one for ya, right there with ya but a few big wins (PSU, LSU and Clemson - cough lucky cough) have saved me a bit. 

I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Bills game this week. Think they are the much better all around team and have a big coaching advantage, but Watson is an NFL darling...we all know a few calls one way or another can change a game. 

BOL in all your plays. 

I locked this in at Navy -4 a couple weeks ago, with the line at -10.5 now and such a low total, i think i may try to middle.  

These all sound great to me...and thought i had remembered Weber State as perennial chokers in the playoffs, hence my gut feel on Montana. 

Thanks and good luck Big Vern!

Thanks for the input and BOL this weekend Gents!

Grounded in nothing but my gut telling me...i like the Montana play a lot.  Gonna ride with that as well.  A huge square co-worker of mine keeps spouting off about JMU, so make take the points in that one as well.  Will have to keep that under wraps though since the Mrs. is JMU alum (might be better off not playing, haha).

Good luck this week D-Up. Just started looking at some WWE tonight...nothing really jumped out at first but all your plays look pretty good.

Agree 100% on my Birds, they shouldn’t be laying over a FG. They literally discussed putting Josh McCown in at WR during game last week (yes, that 40yr old Josh McCown). Jeffrey is out for year and Agholor doesn’t sound very positive about playing this week (contract year for him, maybe hesitant to risk messing up knee...course he couldn’t put out much worse tape than he has so far this year). They aren’t bringing in anyone for tryouts, so they’re likely only going to add 1-2 practice squad guys (already likely starting or having practice squad Greg Ward playing major role). 

Lane Johnson, one of, if not the, best RTs in league likely out too. One thing to keep an eye on is Jordan Howard status if they could get him back might give offense a bit of a jolt...he was running hard and was a nice 1-2 punch w him and Sanders. Plus Skins seemingly always get the Eagles at least once a season.

Wanna hit your Bills too, but that line smells a little fishy. 

F#cking FSC...doh!

Haven't been able to find any lines yet, but have to assume going NDSU & JMU gonna be huge chalk. A lot of Friday night action!

Friday, 12/13: Northern Iowa @ JMU (7pm); Austin Peay @ Montana St (8pm); Montana @ Weber St (10pm)

Saturday, 12/14: Illinois St @ NDSU (noon)

Know very little about any of these teams, looking for some intel...where ya at TD, Big Vern, etc?!  Army/Navy game isn't gonna be enough action for the weekend, ha!

Make sure you visit a physical sportsbook  (or a racetrack) prior to year-end and pick up a bunch of loose losing tickets...so you can prove you have losses = to your winnings that were reported on the 1099. 

Always break-even 

Interesting to see you use the Rivers/Sugarhouse.  similar to you, i opened accounts almost everywhere to take full advantage of all the first time sign-ups features, etc. but last i used them they didn't have an app.  FanDuel has the best app out there IMO and it's not really close...although it did seem like i was finding favorable lines (for my side at least) at Parx more often.  I did see Draft Kings recently got approved for PA, but at the time their sign-up bonuses were sh!t...have to recheck that b/c looked like a good app as well.  Agreed on the payouts, it's so nice/easy...plus with being legalized/US gaming a lot less risk of CC or bank account getting stolen or some sh!t when doing deposits and/or online payouts...unlike a certain outfit out of Costa Rica (rhymes with Live Times) that I would magically always have fraud on my CC after using.

I live right  on the border of PA & MD...PA has and MD is really dragging feet (probably won't have until 2021).  It's great...PA has online, so you can do all from FanDuel or whatever app you prefer...just have to physically in the state (verified with Geolocation).  Not to mention with them all trying to grab market share, there have been some great first time rewards/bonuses that were typically unlike any of those bogus offshore ones where you have to rewager it like 10x before can pull out. 

Also, it's probably a good thing that I live in MD, but need to physically be in PA to place bets...keeps me from adding bad bets from my couch Saturday nights after several whiskeys!

Took Navy -4 in a look ahead line a couple weeks ago, was thinking about trying to middle but not going up against your hot streak.  Good luck and congrats on an incredible run!

Who will play for Bama though, gotta think a lot of the draft picks sit out meaningless bowl game.  May not matter either tho.
