    Like the Michigan State Boom. Took it straight and added a 7 point tease with them and Philly in the NFL. The only reason I havent loaded up on this "yet" is Pedersen. But they only return 7 ytotal starters and lost 9 of it's top 10 on defense. Throw in th efact Pedersen still will not name a quarterback because he is torn does he go with th eexperience on youth. I just dont see how Boise competes for 4 quarters. I think both teams will come out conserative. Neither want their inexperienced quarterback to be the first to make a mistake. Where Michigan State has even a larger advantage is special teams with veterans kicking and punting. Biose always has trouble there. -- I want to read your thoughts on Vandy South Carolina. When  broke that down I have South Carolina Pulling away. But there is nothing harder then a road SEC game at night so I see where you are with that. I just saw Vansy losing a ton on D. The offense should actually be a bit better but  I love this Gamecock defense. Tough Tough call for me. I'll be breaking down a few games today as well.. Good Luck my friend

    In fact you are such a bitch bitch you don't even update weekly results when you lose only when you win So dependent on praise from virtual people you can't even man up to losing

    Let's take a look at how much of a fraud you are

    Week 8 no updates to be seen after you got killed
    https://www.covers.com/postingforum/post01/showmessage.aspx?spt=33&sub=101156956&page=21

    Then week 9 you start "I have nothing to hide" when you ran away from the last thread are you kidding me?

    https://www.covers.com/postingforum/post01/showmessage.aspx?spt=33&sub=101162912&page=1

    On page 13 you're back updating after winning, but of course omit 1.1 units lost from juice.

    So you hide 1 unit a week from juice x16 weeks or so that's 16 units a year omitted to make yourself look better. If only we could all have a magic bookie that didn't charge juice

    Humiliated
    [/Quot



    Jesus, this guy has a lot of anger and delusion. Just being an internet tough guy from his moms basement, pathetic.

    Good Luck Boom

Since you're a big Clemson fan, I thought you'd be the guy to ask. Is Clemson worth getting that extra point on every week, if not, is there another team where getting that extra point every week will be more beneficial?

    Thanks Boom
    thats a tough call either way man. Do I think Clemson would be a good candidate??? Not really sure. I think any team could be as good as the other.

    Tough call. If I said a team it would almost just be guessing.

    I love the Michigan st play.  Nobody has backed Boise though the years more then me.... but I know when to fold as well.... Boise will still be a very well coached team, I just think too much was lost.

    The South Carolina / Vandy game is gonna be a good game. 2 things to point out here. 1) South Carolina usually starts a little slow. Any gamecock fan will tell you that. For whatever reason they struggle coming out the gate. They win but seem to not look sharp. I personally think Vandy is very motivated and  re-energized. What im saying is Vandy as a program is at their highest of highs right now. Never have they been more excited about where they stand. Franklin has these guys believing and half of the time in college sports, that's all you need. This will be a competitive game for 4 quarters.... Vandy will going up against a solid DL. But, Vandy has one of the best " no name " running backs in the country in Stacy. IMO, 7 points at home is enough to bite.

I just dont see how Boise competes for 4 quarters. I think both teams will come out conserative. Neither want their inexperienced quarterback to be the first to make a mistake. Where Michigan State has even a larger advantage is special teams with veterans kicking and punting. Biose always has trouble there. -- I want to read your thoughts on Vandy South Carolina. When  broke that down I have South Carolina Pulling away. But there is nothing harder then a road SEC game at night so I see where you are with that. I just saw Vansy losing a ton on D. The offense should actually be a bit better but  I love this Gamecock defense. Tough Tough call for me. I'll be breaking down a few games today as well.. Good Luck my friend


    I love the Michigan st play.  Nobody has backed Boise though the years more then me.... but I know when to fold as well.... Boise will still be a very well coached team, I just think too much was lost.

    The South Carolina / Vandy game is gonna be a good game. 2 things to point out here. 1) South Carolina usually starts a little slow. Any gamecock fan will tell you that. For whatever reason they struggle coming out the gate. They win but seem to not look sharp. I personally think Vandy is very motivated and  re-energized. What im saying is Vandy as a program is at their highest of highs right now. Never have they been more excited about where they stand. Franklin has these guys believing and half of the time in college sports, that's all you need. This will be a competitive game for 4 quarters.... Vandy will going up against a solid DL. But, Vandy has one of the best " no name " running backs in the country in Stacy. IMO, 7 points at home is enough to bite.

    Just reviewd the Clemson game. Auburn 10 starters back on D from a D that got blown out 5 times. And they have a very poor passing attack. Throw in Dyer transfering to Arkansas State even without Watkins I agree with you I see Clemson winning this fairly easy

    usually around 10. I know some people dont like picking that many games... but it's the way Ive been doing it for years. Dont let people tell you that picking 2 or 3 games is the ONLY smart way to play.... non sense. Ive been doing this for a long time and hit between 56 to 60 % every year. Ask other guys around here that have had a lot of success for a long time and they will tell you the same thing

    Boom-
    Talk to me about the Tenn/NCST game. I see this being a really good game with great QB play on both sides. I think Tenn comes out and tries to establish some sort of a run game to get ST's DBs to cheat down therefore opening up the passing game. And a couple of big scores coming from that. For NCST I see them moving the ball slow and steady but with success. Ultimately, I see a 31-24 type win for Tennessee. Your thoughts?

    Boom is correct. Value is where you find it. If you can only find 2 or 3 games you think you have enough knowledge to bet on, then you should probably quit. If you only bet 2 or 3 games you either have to hit 100% or 66% to make make money each week. Thats not gonna be easy. Hitting 12 out of 20 isnt so hard......

    Wassup Boom... Just wondering how much % is your units compared to your bankroll???

    Wondering cause I plan on tailing you the whole season this year, as I haven't been able to end a season in the positive ever in NCAAF. I just feel there are too many teams for me to track and watch as there are in the NFL... I am using 2% starting with a BR of 1K, but damn, I just locked in almost 50% of my BR for week 1... LOL... I might just up my BR another 1K to make my units 1% cause I am sure you will be hitting them totals soon...

    I love all the picks, but Boise scares the hell out of me... Past few years, they have scheduled top ranked opponents and have won all three (Oregon in '09, V.T. in '10, and Georgia last year.) Granted that was when they had Kellen Moore, the most winningest QB in the history of NCAAF, along with A. Pettis and D. Martin, but Peterson is still one hell of a coach. I personally did not believe that they would beat any one of those teams coming out of the gate, but they have proved me wrong every time... Regardless, I have already locked in Mich St at -6.5 (bought the hook at -115) because I feel this game has the possibility to end in a push... Lets pray it doesn't, and Mich St. blows them out by double digits... lol... Good luck this season Boom...

    Dugie... this is a real tough game for me. I actually just thought about playing the over. I picked NCST with the points because I think this is gonna be a close game. With that being said, it would not surprise me to see Tennessee win by 7 to 10 or maybe even 14 points. I do think NCST can win this game. There probably one of the most underrated teams in the country this season. Truth is, both schools will surprise there conference in how well they will play during the season.

    I think Tennessee is a real threat to win the east. I think FSU abd Clemson better not get caught up in themselves to much cause NCST will be right in the mix.

    IF your looking for a good matchup in this game I think you have to look at NCST secondary vs the receivers for Tennessee..edge goes to Tennessee there, but not by much!! IF and only IF NCST establishes the running game, Tennessee better watch out.

    Couldn't agree more with these statements. No one is talking about the wolfpack or mike glennon. This guy is going to put up a lot of yards this year and more importantly, he's going to manage games really well. But nobody is giving him any credit. This NCST team show be good ATS this year, especially if they drop the first game, then no one will be backing them.

    This being my first year of wagering on College Football, I'm strongly considering dividing my bankroll in half and wagering one half on my won plays, and the other half on yours and BEE's plays. You guys are as solid as it comes, and I respect the work you guys do. Good luck and cheers to another successful season.
