So I get these parlay cards from the local book and figured I would ask for advice here. If you have any input on picks I would appreciate it. The card is as follows:
Mia -3 vs Ga Tech Indiana -14 vs N. Texas Illinois -10 vs Purdue Cincy -7 vs Memphis Virginia -7 vs Pitt Va Tech -3 vs North Carolina N. Illinois -24 vs Kent St Wisky -10 vs N. Western S. Carolina -7 vs Kentucky Army -3 vs Ball State Colorado St -14 vs Tulsa UL Laf -17 vs Ga St Stanford -3 vs ND USC -10 vs Az St Auburn -7 vs LSU OK -7 vs TCU Tenn -3 vs Fla Baylor -17 vs Tex OK St -17 vs Iowa St Alabama -7 vs Miss Miss St -3 vs Tex AM Ucla -14 vs Utah Clemson -14 vs Nc State Mich St -10 vs Neb Boise -3 vs Nevada This is a printed card. Lines are set. $20 on 5 teams wins $500. So far my 5 would be Notre Dame, USC, Florida, Ga Tech, Memphis. |

I will be playing a few straight, but always like the parlay. Wanted to go bigger than normal with a $100 on 4 so thats why I asked. NYJ ruined my parlay last week and they looked so miserable at home its hard to put money on them again. Wash looks terrible too, but public all over KC. There aren't a lot of bets I like this week.
Thanks everyone for the picks.

Looking for some suggestions. I would like to lay $100 on a 4 team parlay to win $1000. Here ate the games and spreads:
Kc -3 Balt -7 Nyj -3 Cincy -7 NO -3 Philly -3 Pitt -3 Tampa -3 Denver -14 Az -7 SD -3 SF -3 I'm leaning Tennessee +14, Tampa -3, Oakland +3, SF -3. I would appreciate any thoughts on this. |

Why wouldnt the loser of SEC game be eligible??? And MSU better not fukking go! Im out a hundred bucks if they do! Seriously MSU would not travel that well to Cali, we all broke here in Michigan and we all traveling this weekend. Why wouldnt you take the bigger and more explosive teams!! WHY!!! MSU alumni are everywhere much like most other BIG Schools, they all travel well (outside of maybe Northwestern). Loser of SEC will be SOL because of BCS rules. They state that only 2 teams from any conference are eligible for a BCS berth unless that conference has a team in the NC game. So, provided the NC game is Ohio St vs Fl State, Aub or Mizzou will get the automatic berth and its 99.99999% likely that Bama gets the 2nd SEC BCS bowl which means the loser of the SEC Championship game gets screwed. |

You seem to be the only one who understands how this works. If OSU goes to NCG along with FSU then like you say Orange bowl gets first pick which should be Bama. Then Rose bowl gets next pick from a great selection of teams. How in the world would they take MSU over teams like, Missouri, auburn, Baylor, Texas, oregon, South Carolina, Clemson. Yes I know all these teams won't qualify but most will [/Quote]The Rose Bowl will have the Pac 12 champ (ASU or Stan) vs Big Champ or at large if OSU goes to NC. Why wouldn't Rose Bowl pick MSU if they are eligible and Bama goes to Orange? They would not put two Pac 12 teams in with Oregon. Texas (Seriously?). Auburn or Mizzou will go to Sugar Bowl, other will not be eligible nor will SC as only 2 teams from a conference qualify (unless SEC gets NC game). So really its between Clemson, Baylor, or MSU. MSU would be the most likely choice because of history and they have a much bigger fan base than Baylor or Clemson. But that all hinges on MSU finishing in the top 14 of the BCS

Meant to say if they win vs OSU, they claim the BIG Ten BCS Bowl slot which is the Rose Bowl

Tico, I see no plays for tonight, but what % does your system have for the 3 games? Just curious. I like Rice but so does every other square like me so I wonder what they system says.

The same situation happened with the University of Houston and S. Mississippi a few years back. The conference, Houston, S.Miss all had so much to gain by Houston just winning the game and going to BCS game. The spread was Houston -12 or something like that. I always thought it has to be fixed so Houston just wins the game. Forget the spread just win the game. Millions of dollars at stake for everyone playing and for the conference. Of course S. Miss kicks the crap out of Houston. They interview S.Miss coach and ask him how it felt to lose all that money for his conference and all the schools. He said something about the fact that S.Miss should be in the BCS game instead. Ya that didn't happen. Usually things aren't fixed, just easier to think they are.
Peewee, that was the last regular season game S. Miss won!

Not trying to hate, but how is taking your foot off the gas with a huge 4th qtr lead = to resting because you are looking ahead? They would've done the same thing if they were playing Austin Peay! CMU had a lucky backdoor cover, just luck. They were completely outmatched in this game. CMU is horrible and will continue to be horrible vs good teams. You wrote:
"If had to play the total it would be under the 56.5 (or higher, I see some 57.5.) I don't see a lot of second half scoring. number is pumped up a bit, my math says it should be 53. They obviously opened higher since the public always hits the over in all ways possible, over, tz w/over, parlay w/over etc.... Though it doesn't get a lot of hype... 56 is a key number for me. The difference between 56.5 and 55.5 is huge to me. Since 56 is exactly 8 tds, but that 1/2 point (at 56.5) would potentially mean a team would need a whole extra scoring drive to get you an over after 8tds. In a game like tonight . That necessary time could be ground up fourt qtr tha ends in a 2 min kneel down. So 56 is a tough call, especially if one team is expected to have a big lead and may want to sit on the ball late. A little different if te game lie is short, like -2.5 or something were if the game is as close as expected, there may be scoring by either team down to the final seconds or even to" And "PS>>>I would not be surprised in the final minutes of this game to see Ball State ML backers on the edge of their seats hoping that Ball doesn't take a SU loss to a rested and capable Chippawa squad from CMU...." Obviously you were way off base on how you thought the game was going to go, but a W is a W. Good job, just don't pretend this is the game you predicted. |

CMU is horrible against good passing teams. Ball St is going to put up pts tonight, my concern is can CMU score enough to keep within the spread? My prediction is a 42-49 pts for BSU and 17-24 pts for CMU.

" If anything I would just fade away at the directional Michigan schools .."
Mostly a good bet, but W Mich plays E Mich this week! What now????

You do realize that Buffalo played Ohio State right? Yes, they lost but to imply that Ohio U has a tougher defense than OSU is crazy. OU lost to CMU at home.
