LonghornHoosier - Selections - Week 1

I like NotreDame to but Navy has beaten them 3 out of 5 I believe before Irish had beat em like 43 yrs str..Ireland concerns me.Its time for BK's 1minute plan to start working.Last yr's b owl game vsFSU was one of the worse QB performances Ive seen since I started watching football in 1978.I did see the Gunter kid QB on Dilfer s elite 11 but he is a frosh.That Tommy Rees qb is AWFUL & if he is starting Im taking Navy..thats alot of pts...BOL

Notre Dame -16 over Navy (bought the hook), @ Dublin, Ireland (8:00 am)

War - Rees is suspended for week 1..it will be Golson or Hendrix.  I think whichever one is selected will be a step up over Rees...And Notre Dame defeated Navy last year 56-14 with your boy Rees at QB...Granted QB T Miller for Navy was thrown into the fire with Proctor went down...T Miller is a good leader and Navy will have some shotgun packages, but the bottom line is they live and die by the run...I don't believe Navy's D is going to be able to signficantly slow down N Dame.   I think the game will be closer than last year.

Notre Dame 42

Navy 17

Hate to say it, but that's the first thing that came to mind as well.

I'm not so much worried about ND, but LSU/UGA/Bama (which I'll be on as well) look fine where they're at, and since 2/3 are high spreads, 1-1.5 pts shouldn't matter in the outcome.

As for Bama, anything under 14 is good, if you're more comfortable with the hook so be it, but I'll take 12.5-14 come gametime.

Longhorn

thanks for the takes

Are these your only picks for week 1 Longhorn?

Like I said, 3/4 I'll be on.

Looks like your giving like -140 juice on all the games..if i think i need to buy points im not betting it.. I woulda left out the other games and put it all on UGA -37.5 up tp -41 over Buffalo. I wouldnt touch ND (QB issues and overseas, probably a Navy contigency there and Obama will probably show!!) Alabama has all the pressure to win the game, and Michigan can cover.  North Texas sucks, but 42 points sounds like a backdoor cover (no tyron matthieu, ??? at QB!!

Just advice...not trying to bash you..4 games with inflated juice sounds like giving $$$ to vegas to me!! but if they all hit youll be good gotta hit 3 to cover the juice on 2 though!

What was you JUICE??

$120 to win $100

$120 to win 100

$140 to win $100

$120 to win $100

Risking $500 to win 400$

if 1.5 and .5 helps on any of the games i would be shocked

Good luck Longhorn

I think we all appreciate your posting your picks and giving some reasoning, as well as letting people know what numbers you got and how you got them.

The reason why some people said these numbers are insignicant is, obviously, because the odds of that half point mattering on those numbers are sooooo low that the buying points is really throwing money away. That's if you lose, of course.

It doesn't sound like anyone is trying to be a prick about it.

I really hope you do well this year, and while I haven't made my mind up on most of these (I did bet Georgia), I hope you win week one as well. Keep it up bro

liking the bulldogs quite a bit, glad to see Smith is back...can't imagine Mich offense doing much there so defense will have to play great just to hang around.....ND offense could be much improved if Golson gets his shot, at least you know Rees can't turn it over in that game, BOL longhorn
