Thanks in advance
Mizzou b2b roadies and mauk has be shakey. Dobbs has added life to the Vols O, and their defense is solid (even though missing a couple key guys)....I like Tenn to pull away and win 30-17

I agree with most everything you said, especially about not paying attention to the talking heads on espn. I do happen to believe stats and trends are important in "capping". That word is very over used on this forum.
How can you analyze matchups without the stats? Trends are trends for a reason. History tends to repeat itself. Like knowing Notre Dame always has a hard time in East Lansing no matter how good or bad each team is that year.
But I do understand your point about trusting the line, and the nonsense about traps. I am a big believer in the Vegas does the capping, you try to find an edge in the matchups and conditions of the game. Conditions is more of a horse handicapping term, but playing the ponies will make you a better sports bettor.
Now I'm rambling.... Good stuff as always Train
If you follow the game at all, you already know the "important trends"...like b2b road games etc. Know that a team in a particular set of circumstances is 70-30 since 1980 doesnt help me at all and if it was a great tool, there would be many guys winning on trends alone with the intenet readily available. Stats will almost always lead you to the favorite because on paper they are the better team.....

As a former College Football player I know exactly how it was in the locker room, on and off the field, chicks, parties and coaches who you trust but leave to go to other schools and leave the guys hanging.
Gamble so I can Gamble tomorrow!! EXACTLY

You are the man. Been following you this season, don't post much though. This post struck home to me, as this is how I am now with 2 little ones and no time, except to watch games. I always look to your column for insight and just wanted to say thanks, and keep the train rolling!
Liking KState alot, have a lot of WVU alum in the family and enjoy rooting against them.

You might be right about the beat down, but it won't matter in the rankings, it's Indiana. The team they'll need to REALLY beat down to move up is Wisconsin. Otherwise, they'll need some help or that Va Tech loss will haunt them.
Urban wants no part of a nailbiter this weekend.....

GL this weekend, and take that mask off, you'll scare your kid.
Big Ern, my man. I agree, most of the full length movies are pretty solid.
Gotta keep the mask on to toughen the little girl up....its a mean world. You are either eating livers with faca beans and chianti or you're in Buffalo Bills well putting lotion on.....

Really like your opening thread; completely agree on some of the nonsense on sports channels that's not the actual games. Our house is similar - two boys, age four and two and a baby girl two months. So, between that, 2 hours a day round trip looking at the windshield and my obsession with college football, sleep is very overrated this time of year.
While I'm thinking about it, my apologies to all for very rarely doing a writeup and just posting plays. More wins than losses especially the larger plays will have to speak for itself. I always tell my wife just think if I had the time to completely do this "the right way." A goal for retirement I suppose. It would be great to have 40+ hours a week dedicated to football capping, wouldn't it?
Back to the topic at hand:
4 year old: Blaze & the Monster Machines
2 year old: Team Umizoomi
BOL this week Train. On a few of the same plays.
TD
I'm kinda lucky that I work evenings and have some down time to check out covers and watch games. Still, some weeks picks is all I put out as writeups more often than not are that helpful....I can make a case for betting either side (usually) that sounds pretty convincing.
I like your retirement goal.

I agree about the weather, but its impossible to predict or worry about when lines are released. Obviously closer to game time if its gonna be a blizzard or 50 mph winds, then yes, thats need to know info,,,
I do agree on all of that, except for weather…
I have seen weather effect MANY football games.
Do people read too much into SLIGHT weather shifts? Yes. However, high winds and heavy precipitation do alter game plans, etc…
And I 100% do agree with "it doesn't matter what other people think". If I had my money back from every time I let an "expert" or even some random dope talk me into or out of a bet that I lost… I'd be a lot better off.

Train,
What is your true feel for the Miz vs Vols game tomorrow night? Would love nothing more than to see the Dawgs in the SEC title game so I can make a quick trek over and watch it in person, but do you think Pinkel will have your boys ready play against an improving Knoxville squad...
As always
Mauk hasnt faired well vs decent defenses and MU on b2b road games will spell doom for my Tigers.....

WMU has a better offense and defense imo, and are only a dog because this is a road game....Their O has been rolling...I dont wanna sway you either way brother, its just a normal play for me
