Army vs. Navy (-4.5)

And I'll gladly lay 6 with the Trojans at home against the Ducks.

And I'm sure the line for OK State at Arizona -9.5 is reversed.  OK State +9.5 would be a Godsend.

wassup B.A.

i plan on having my best year ever.

ByU+11@ND

Cal+24@USC

Clem+9@FSU

hey PJ, those are all the GOY lines i could find.

WVU/TCU : WVU is 9-4 off a bye, both teams play TxTch, so that should be a good way to gauge this game...i think TCU makes a great UD so we'll see...

Clemson +9

Are you f****** kidding me.

I thought in my heart of hearts that this line would be no higher than -4

thats the absolute highest I thought it would be and -3 was all I was willing to lay.

Looks like a pass for me unless this line changes dramaticly which I dont see.

I cant lock in on clemson +8 or 9 because I dont think they can win this game.

a big part of my betting strategy when I bet a dog (and I mostly bet dogs) is CAN THE DOG WIN OUTRIGHT?

If I beleive the dog can win outright, I place a wager on them, If I dont think the dog can win outright I avoid the game.
