Week 7 saw us go 2-1 which I will take every week but those darn Sooners cost me. Settling for 2 FG's, the replay ref calling a fumble on the 2 when everyone knows the ground cant cause a fumble, KU scoring on a 4th and 1 broken play, and the Sooners sleepwalking though the game. Oh well on to week 8.

Only one play this week. Its all I need.

Whisky -7.5 I was surprised to see this one on the board as MSU will be looking at some player suspensions this week for their dirty play vs. Michigan on Saturday. Sparty punched Michigan in the mouth on saturday and the Wolverines didnt punch back.

That wont happen with the Big Bad Badgers. Not only will they punch back they are a little pissed about where they are in the BCS polls and they have a coach who doesnt mind making a statement. They also have the revenge factor from last year to play with.

Talk all you want about Wisconsin's schedule but who the hell has Sparty played?

This one is easy Badgers score early and often and Sparty fans head to the streets looking for something to burn at halftime.

For you MSU has a great D theorists MICHIGAN had 5.2 yards per carry and we all know the Wolverines cant pass the ball.

Badgers can do both. Look to avg over 9yds a carry and will mix it up too.

Like I said this one is easy folks. Dont over think it.

Suspensions coming soon too.

man... that fucking play pissed me off so bad... that ref should be fired on the spot!  how can you not know "the ground can't cause a fumble"?  even the fucking announcers were too stupid to point it out... if the ball is still in possession when the ball comes in contact with the ground, the play is over...

that play should have taken 5 seconds to review...

God damnit!  now i'm pissed all over again... cost me my 4 team parlay this week!

yea but you are looking at this all wrong... the "Who has Wisky played?" argument is the reason we are getting such good value on the game right now... fact is, it doesn't matter who Wisky has played this year, they are however good they are... and after this week, they will have played somebody, and EVERYBODY will know how good they are...

you can either be ahead of the game, or you can watch it pass you by...

Sooner cost me pretty big, but that;s gambling for you. Wisconsin is not a bad play, but I don't think they should be favored by so many points on the road at night. They can cover the spread, but I think the value is on Michigan St. Gl with your plays Chalk, you killing it so far.

MR CHALK, got any more chalk for us this week? I'm already locked in on Bama-28 and Stanford, so hopefully you'll pick one of those.

Do you still like Wisky -8.5? I can wait, but I don't want to wait and see -9.

No more picks needed this week. I would have bet Whisky at anything smaller than -14.

Get your bet in before the suspensions and this game gets taken off the board.

Parlays are for suckers and I do one every week. So far this year have hit 2 of 8 all posted too.

I will have one up soon.

There's no rule that says the ground can't cause a fumble.  The ground CAN cause a fumble as long as no part of the ball carrier's body (other than his hand or foot) has hit the ground before the ball hits the ground.  The officials at the OU game might have gotten the call wrong anyway, but the rule is different from what you think it is.

On Bama and Stanford both have been covering machines this year and good luck on your picks. In the Bama game I think the line is spot on. Could Bama cover sure good motivation for the D to shutout the Vols something LSU couldnt do. They also avg mid 30's per game on offense I think so if that happens your there. I love Stanford but the Huskies are playing well. I thought Stanfords secondary was a little soft and thats why I didnt bet them agains Wazzou last week and boy was I wrong.

On KState and Okla St. K-State has overachieved this year but Kansas is god awful. Also the old man loves running up the score when he can so you could get this one. I love Oklahoma State this year and they have won me some money but Mizzou is not a bad team and the Cowboys on the road for the 2nd straight week just not feeling it but good luck.

Also thanks for the rules info. I was just going with what the announcers were saying and I was pissed at the call but hey all the other things cost me in that game too.
