I could tell you most likely 100 of the 127 1A starting QB's. Boom and I can talk schemes, coverages etc. But betting isnt about who will win they give you a number by how much. It has 0 to do with knowledge. Knowledge sure helps. I do very well wagering and if you look at my last 10 posts I guarantee you see 9 wins. It's about numbers. Take tonight for example who doesnt like the over ? Many will take it although you cant give me one stastical reason it goes over 47. I have 26-21 Saints but you cannot cap turnovers etc.  Boom is one of the best at what he does. Enjoy his knowledge but use his plays along with you rown knowledge and tread carefully

9-0 is 9-0 and it doesn't matter how Notre Dame got there. Everyone gets a few calls along the way in a season.  If the IRISH run the table they should get a look for the BCS if there are only 2 undefeated teams left.

On another subject, people need to get off Boom's back. He is just providing us with insight and is not putting a gun to our head to place a wager. I enjoy reading the forums of Boon, Train, and a few others but the final say on my wagers is MINE.

Have a great week bettors

Best of luck the rest of the year.

Actually, I would not call this a ballsy play but a very intelligent call! IMO, It is a no-brainer if you think about it. If you go second in the second overtime, you  should always go for 2, because you will start the 3rd OT and will be required to go for two (and be a disadvantage going first). It is much smarter to go for two when you opponent cannot counter with a two point conversion. If you go for two in the first OT....then I would call it ballsy! (And ballsy of course at the end of the regulation as a few coaches have done in the past). Although I as write this I can see an argument for the other side, but I would still always go for two, unless there were some other factors in play like my opponenst defense was really tired and I felt I had an advantage lengthening the game. And there is the other philosophy play to tie at home and play to win on the road.


I do find it ironic though when you call Les Miles an idiot for Fake FGs and Onsides KOs, but another coach takes a risk and he has a pair. Personally, I do think Les Miles is moronic especially when it comes to game mgmt, but I think the onside kick was not a bad call (a bad bounce as it spun back into the kicker), and the worst part of the fake FG was his players either did not have an option to kick the FG or did not recognize that Alabama was playing for the fake FG as they shifted to a base defense. Miles should have called a Timeout as soon as they shifted or the players should have checked out of the fake. (either way this falls on the coach). Again, I do not Les Miles is a good coach, but I do not think the decisions were bad.....had they been successful, people would then be saying "he has a pair", but he was not successful so now he is an idiot... but thems are the breaks and why they get paid the big bucks!

Good luck next week!
