Nos...Been following you for several weeks.  Thanks for your tips.  Took a hit with you on Toledo this weekend.  WTF?  Great start to the game then they packed it in!????  Surprised you are on them again.  Also, I'm surprise you are trusting the "stache" on the road against USF.  I was leaning USF myself.  Thoughts?.....
 
Thanks and GL!

GL to all

They could put me in there and it could not possibly get any worse for my vols....letting the benching of crompton affect your wager is like saying you can't take Bama because their water boy is out.

Hawaii turned the ball over 6 times and had 100+ penalty yards at home vs San Jose State...There defense was the only reason they were still in that game. I don't see them putting much of an effort against Fresno after losing a tough one at home. Their QB situation is still shaky.

Hey all, new here but my 2 cents I like OKSt. AnM IS TERRIBLE The U put what like 41 on em and the Cowboys are explosive on offense....Texas will show up in Boulder. Their playn well on both sides of the ball....and their tryin to keep up with OU as well...Here's a ? Whattaya guys think about the AFA vs Navy game I think AFA is gonna destroy them...later everyone and gl...

Not in your card, Nos... But seen this in a couple of posts in this thread,  laying 10 with Mizzou in Lincoln sounds downright suicidal.

Good luck this week Nostra. I like Toledo but I think the line rises so I'll wait a few days.

I glanced at Tenny, but I think I'll wuss out on that play...

Good info from bigirondawg about Gameday coming to Nashville. I'll definitely look at Vandy.

i love Missouri's team... the very thought of them losing this game and potentially ruining their season pains me... but i think you're right... this is one of the upset alert games for top teams this weekend... very live dog...

and for the record... i bet VT on the ML against Nebraska... so this isn't about me over-rating Nebraska...

updated week 6
 
Oklahoma -27 (large)... Sooners are Blasting Teams .. Griffin better have the game of his life if the Bears are to Cover..I have been to cheap to pull the trigger on Oklahoma this year..  
 
Tennessee -16.5 (large)...With at Georgia on Deck ???  ..The Huskies could also be looking ahead to Home MAC game vs Miami Ohio.. Not sure about the Vols. will they pack it in on Phil ? switching QB's ?  I did think the Line would be Higher say -23 ... so there is some good value here, but im staying far away from this one ..(which Means The Vols will win by 27+)
 
Auburn -4 (large)   Should be a great game ... Auburn better just Run the Ball ... Vandy's secondary is amazing .. I can't choose a side here but the UNder should be a good play..Auburn could roll but im not sure
 
Miami OH -6.5   Great Spot for the RedHawks ... 2 weeks to prepare for their First MAC Game...Temple has to be very desperate at 0-2 in the MAC... the Owls have lost too many heartbreakers this year... 
 
Fresno St -21   ... Opening WAC Game for the Bulldogs... Hawaii is really Bad and with Crappy Idaho on deck the Bulldogs should win by 28+
 
TCU -24   Another good spot.. after losing to the #1 Sooners heads are gonna roll... The Aztecs are not good and will not win a game on the road this year
 
Ga Tech -14 (hook)   I can see people lining up to bet on Duke + those Points...The Yellow Jackets are way too physical for the Blue Devils...While I really like what Cutcliffe is doing, I don't know if Duke can stop the Run...
 
Pittsburgh +14 (hook)... I Can't ever back the Mustache again...He might be the Hardest Coach to put Money on... so Much talent on the Panthers Roster but Dave's idiot Coaching kills this team...    
 
Toledo +7   The Rockets were looking ahead to hosting Ball St.. I still am shocked they lost to Fla Int ??? Or Maybe the Fresno St. loss killed this team ... I would never have thought you would be Catching 7 at Home in the Glass Bowl... But last weeks loss scares me  
 
Green = Plays or Leans for me
 
Red = Going or leaning the other way
 
Black= Staying away
 
 
Nos what do you think about  ????
Texas Tech -6,    Stanford +7.5 ,    Navy +6 ... 
 
 
BOL on all your Plays Brother ... Get your Money this week
BEST OF HEALTH, HAPPINESS,WEALTH, BLESSINGS and LUCK TO ALL !!

younger - agree if Tigers try to pass too much they're in trouble
 
maine - looks like a good strategy this week, added one late last night (below) that might qualify along those lines
 
shep - like Toledo only if RB Collins plays (otherwise may cancel), apparently he was a late scratch last week which hurt them some, although obviously weren't ready to play and would not have made a difference in the outcome (how the hell does FIU get 35 pts off 239 yards anyway)
 
raidernator - ballsy would be taking Wyoming or Wash St last week, the rest are just picks
 
dugie, bigirondawg - good info about Crompton and gameday in Nashville
bustinbooks - not really against any of those, have a couple
 
syracuseLJ - probably a good move waiting on Ball St/Tol number as it could well go up late in the week - GL
 
adding
 
UCLA -16.5

Perhaps I am biased - I have been a Mizzou fan for 25 years. I think they should win this game - but when you never win somewhere, it's hard to get over that hump. This game is scarier than Texas and TBH, I would rather have them travel to Norman than Lincoln.... I think the Tigers get the monkey off their back this year and finally beat the Huskers in Nebraska... But to cover that 10 pts is going to take a Front Door cover... There is no way in hell they travel to Lincoln and dominate.

i've backed off on thinking Ball St is a good bet... i realized why Toledo lost... same exact reason ECU lost... just didn't realize the spot before the game...
 
1) lost their BCS hopes the week before
2) lost in OT
3) laying DD
 
now that i understand how that abomination happened, i am no longer as down on Toledo... i'll probably stay away, but might make Toledo a ML play...

dyounger - figured we would be on opposite sides on this one similar to Aub/Miss St a couple weeks ago, think Tigers have a shot to run some on that defense (based on Vandy/Miss game and last year's game) and feel like Auburn defense can fairly well dominate Vandy offense, realizing I'll be in minority on this play. BOL this week

For all Nos followers, the Q&A w/ the man will run in Friday and Saturday's College Cram Session on Covers.

That's often the best time to take a team.  That said, I think we saw Toledo's true colors against FIU.  I didn't think they'd be good, and they aren't, near miss against Fresno or no near miss against Fresno.  Ball has WKU next, then a week off, then Eastern at home.  So, if they take care of business here, they go into Nevember at 8-0.  That would certainly keep me focussed.
