    Any recommendation for an online book to make sure I can play quarters and in-game plays?  I have a local now and he only does full games. 

    Thanks in advance.

    seems like quarter plays are coming out later / pulled earlier....
      * I've used 5Dimes for that stuff / Bookmaker for in-game
        there's maybe a better source?....only other book I use is BetOnline......they do both ............

    It is better to be feared - than to be loved.

    Any thoughts on Bama not winning the title?

    Think I'm calling the sportsbook manager to put it in today.

    Am I that crazy?

    BA - as always

    You mentioned Arkansas State twice in this thread; as a team to bet on, and that they maybe roll.  As the matchup is a virtual true road game against UCF, do you still hold that opinion?

    Focus: seems like a wash.  Ark St got blown out last year by La Tech which fits your criteria, but UCF was 0-12 LY, and now gets a home bowl game.  Lost last 2 to good teams in Tulsa and USF, eventually seems like that solid D got tired, but now they get a long break?!

    Coaches: Seems like a wash as well.  Both good ones IMO.

    Conf strength: Not even close.  Neither is SOS overall.  UCF has played the much harder schedule, and plays in a much more difficult conference.  Look at Arkansas States wins - eek, cept for the Troy win (5-0 turnovers)

    No Common Oppponets

    Distractions: Havent heard of anyone looking at Frost, nor BA.

    INJ/SUSP: UCF seems a bit healthier at this point

    Crowd: Its in Orlando, in the stadium that used to be there home stadium (granted they stopped playing there in 2006), but you would have to assume a huge HF advantage.

    Match-up:  Both play really good D on paper.  UCF offense has been pretty bad all year, but do tend to get TO and FP to push a few in.  Arky St must pass effectively to move the ball.  Not so easy vs. UCF  (#12)

    Line: right on the metrics.  UCF -6 is the right line.

    Due to SOS, CONF strength, and Crowd, I am leaning UCF in this one.  What did I miss, or misread?

    BA - as always

    You mentioned Arkansas State twice in this thread; as a team to bet on, and that they maybe roll.  As the matchup is a virtual true road game against UCF, do you still hold that opinion?

    Focus: seems like a wash.  Ark St got blown out last year by La Tech which fits your criteria, but UCF was 0-12 LY, and now gets a home bowl game.  Lost last 2 to good teams in Tulsa and USF, eventually seems like that solid D got tired, but now they get a long break?!

    Coaches: Seems like a wash as well.  Both good ones IMO.

    Conf strength: Not even close.  Neither is SOS overall.  UCF has played the much harder schedule, and plays in a much more difficult conference.  Look at Arkansas States wins - eek, cept for the Troy win (5-0 turnovers)

    No Common Oppponets

    Distractions: Havent heard of anyone looking at Frost, nor BA.

    INJ/SUSP: UCF seems a bit healthier at this point

    Crowd: Its in Orlando, in the stadium that used to be there home stadium (granted they stopped playing there in 2006), but you would have to assume a huge HF advantage.

    Match-up:  Both play really good D on paper.  UCF offense has been pretty bad all year, but do tend to get TO and FP to push a few in.  Arky St must pass effectively to move the ball.  Not so easy vs. UCF  (#12)

    I like UCF in that one... I am thinking about taking Lamar Jackson -2200 to win the heisman.  I obviously dont like risking $2200, but I cant see him losing the award, and think it's probably an easy $100, but i'm not sure... anybody have an opinion?

    Dust off that large bank you have my friend, and load up on the  Houston Cougers this coming Saturday, as the Cougers are going to give Major Applewhite his first win AND COVER as a Head Coach.

    It is my belief they will play there heart out for the guy to get him this win, and the defense will stop the ground attack of San Diego right in its tracks. I also do not feel the defense of the Aztecs can stop QB Ward the offensive of Houston.

    BYU / WYO  over
    Tulsa
    Indiana?
    Ark
    Col
    Wash 1H
    OU ????


    Houston maybe best to stay away?......tough to tell how they play here

    BUT...... 

    *nice match-up edge on both sides of the ball for the Cougs
    * SR QB likely playing his last game ever (as QB).....esp off loss last game.....tough to see Ward not wanting to finish strong here
     *continuity with OC MA now moving into HC role.....I esp like how DC TO staying ON for bowl....rather than leaving already for Texas (should get the DC job)
      *SDSU a team that REALLY picks their 'spots'....it seems.....Rocky not very good in bowl prep .......only won / covered 3 of last 10 bowls....> no covers as dog

    New Mexico?......I think they win for sure + game is high scoring for sure......both bets not bad > teaser looks safe................

    yeah on that one too Urban.....................
      *waiting to see how things played out.....and for it to dip down to 3

    Looks like DC Orlando will stay for the bowl (instead of leaving for Texas NOW) .......wonder what the hold up is ?.....Herman maybe looking / waiting for a 'bigger' name  

    IMO.....the only way Cougs don't win / cover.....is a total no-show here......which makes little sense .....maybe they go crazy in Vegas tho.....ya never know.............

    nice breakdown man........I like UCF a bit too.....most likely I'll make an in-game / halftime play here......> low scoring 1H....play team 2H that's clearly there to WIN.......and AHEAD probably
      * IF you look at their actual WINS.....it's kinda tough to tell how good UCF really is....

    Ark St is capable here .....awesome group of transfers
      *you bet I mentioned them off a 40+ pt cover AT Troy....covering their last 6 or so (before ULL) by about 14 pts/g
     $  no bowl wins under HC BA.....so they'll be hungry here...

    The only thing that concerns me about Houston is that they were "relegated" to a bowl...

    Nice picks there, that I also like very much. Army is -10, not +10. Army was -17 and fumbled 7 times. No way they reset that debacle, but I think the line is sharp, and N. Texas in their home state will play them close. 

    Clemson and Ohio State have both played close games with a majority of their schedule; since 3 is the most common scoreboard difference statistically, I am thinking of a large play on Clemson at that number--a game I think they win SU anyway. 

    I like SDSU w/ Pumphries being a respected RB and getting a lot of attention--but we have seen Houston shut down great RBs--esp Cook of FSU. You don't seem to mind the change in HC (as you do in Temple. Maybe this is a positive change going w/ Applewhite who knows Texas players and coaches (?). I might skip this game, but You winning big wouldn't surprise, as SDSU too tentative.


    they didn't play fsu.
