Can you explain how that is a sarcastic comment? A sarcastic comment would be: "Good thing Zooker beat OSU that one year because if he can't beat this Ohio State team, he never will again." That's sarcasm. Your statement would be like saying the sky is blue and then arguing you were being sarcastic. You made a mistake. We all make mistakes. All you had to say was "My bad, that totally slipped my mind" but instead you try to insult those of us that have a brain in our head by insisting that was sarcasm. So basically anything you say that proves to wrong is meant to be sarcastic? Come on Boom, don't be that guy. I guess if you go 2-10 one week you can just tell everyone you were being sarcastic. Good luck this week.

So you made the statement of "I know one thing, if the zookster couldn't beat this Ohio St. team, he never will"  with full knowledge and understanding of Zook's win in 2007 over Ohio st. Where is the sarcasm in that statement? Because i'm not seeing any. Why not just admit you made a mistake like Pony Express said and move along...

hey dip shits... I remember the game all to well... I had Illinois +15 that day. I remember when Juice and the boys converted several 4th downs there the fourth quarter to ice the game...

If you dont like it...take a hike.

WTF is wrong with some of you people.

not sure why this line has moved. I know Illinois is coming off a big loss but Purdue has been awful. It's just one of those games...maybe its because Purdue is coming off a Bye week... i think ther coming off a bye week

My idea is that sharps might be trying to middle this line, or sharps pounded it at 7.5 causing it to jump up, and it has dwindled back down because of public money and opinion that Michigan State is better than they are. Nick Toon has been listed as probable now, and even though I knew this line was going to drop back down, I'm considering jumping on 7.5 in fear of getting burnt by Friday if it moves back up.
I really dont think people are trying to hit a middle here. To be honest with you I dont ever see much value in trying to hit these middles in cases like this.

When college football is over he probably has to put himself into an institution. How many times has he quoted someone then says great response well said. If he wasn't such a pompous ass acting like what he says is the law he wouldnt get all the haters. Saying I own you is 2nd grade. Get a life man. Just stick with handicapping and leave your worthless opinion for your 6th grade class.




Yo dude....your a straight up hater bro 

The only time I see you come out of your shell is to bash good cappers...seen you do it in NBA and other sports beside CFB...

You want the attn? You want to be followed? Start your own threads ...........the reason you won't is cause you aren't a capper, and you will never be one....for you to come on here and bash a good guy shows the class you have man. Your the type of person I would love to meet in the street and kick your f*CKEN ASS

 this week BOOM! 

 I will NOT Argue that Lane Kiffin is a total douchewhistle...

OH, I remember the days of www.firepaulhackett.com....maybe we should start a new site. Lane kiffin is exactly why I bet UA +14 against my own squad and got the back door cover because Lane calls the lamest go-for-it on 4th down at midfield with 2minutes to go, anyway dont get me started...

you never know in a Rivalry game like USC/ND...I'm just saying 9 points is a lot...

USC has no shot at beating N.D in this game.  The line is generous at 8... N.D will score all night on that overrated defense.

I hear you , USC D is definitely weak sauce at best, but Barkley can air it out, we have legit wideouts, we can score.  Rivalry game, you never know, we have owned ND over the last decade.
Yes you're right i'm biased, so thanks for not crushing me!

Good luck this weekend i like a many of your plays good sir.

The only problem is Barrett Trotter, was spotted last week at Chuck-E-Cheese playing that little game where you try and throw the mini football's through the three little holes. Lady workin the toy store section, said he'd been there for a solid 30 minutes, and cashed out with 20 total prize tickets..... Good luck War Eagle offense!!!!

Hey Boom,

Love reading your posts every week. Keep up the awesome work!! What you think about the LSU game. LSU losing some key players for suspension. Think the line is going to move quickly? Think Auburn still needs all those points? Thanks in advance!! BOL this week Boom!!

Me either that's why I can't figure it out. The better side is obvious here. Wisconsin has to be it, or no play. This game should either end in a road trip blowout, or end at 35-17 or somewhere in that range. Notre Dame exposed State's defense. We are in a similar spot in this game. Everyone knows both teams pack defensive power, but you simply have to roll with the side that has the nation's #1 scoring offense. I basically see a clock management game here with Wisconsin pounding the ball with their three backs, and with one or two stops the Spartans stand no chance.

I am loving your Washington play, but again like I asked last week, why do you book dogs early? Stanford's public appearance will get you 21.5 or more easily. I don't think half of America knows who the Washington Huskies are.

Let's go!

Do any of you guys think for yourselves? Boom is nice enough to post his picks. If you can't make educated decisions on a line moving a point one way or the other and it's affect in relation to critical numbers, you probably shouldn't be betting. Play the games he posts if you trail him(which I certainly do), you will make money. Talk about spoon feeding.
