Underdog Money Lines Week 4 (9/20-9/22)

Drew, try google.  Dr Bob sports picks.

Are you indirectly accusing me of recommending a play on MiamiOH this week? LOL

Bob's action on the Redhawks last week was sketchy at best.  I don't get it all this week.  That team very well may make him look retarded two weeks in a row.

Mat, glad you reminded me of the Arizona pick.  At less than two TD's I almost feel like I could try to lay it with Cal.

drew, I think there a couple folks in this forum that pay for his picks.  But I'm just not sure who they are.

gar-when do you release your final card, and what is it up to this point

gar-when do you release your final card, and what is it up to this point...also...if you like a dog with a huge spread, but don't like them to win, do you ever play that or just forget about it because you dont like them to win the game?

week in and week out this is one of the best threads in the entire college football forum...keep up the good work guys...

Yeah, and its ostensibly for contest purposes.  $50 for the whole year. LOL

Drew, the cliff's notes is just a quick rundown of my ML wagering so far.


Final card won't be known until tomorrow sometime, but so far I have the four money lines as well as Baylor/Buffalo OVER, Wyoming -3.5, Colorado -13.5 (better number now available thanks to Bob), and I have still considering about a half-dozen totals and spreads in addition to those 7 MLs.  I have removed Oregon State and ULL from consideration.

Gar --

Any comments for me about Oregon St.? I'm still on the fence there. Also considering Under 54 in that game. Opinion on that?

One more while I have you answering questions for me: What do you think about Northwestern covering (not ML) at Ohio St.? I think we skipped that one. Sutton is probable.

hey gar....@ +400 i think UCONN has value.....as long as Dave W is pitts coach, they should never be favored against a real team....gl bro

solid plays

Mat, had a helluva Friday

Saw this much earlier, but didn't really have time to reply until now. 

I am going sit out that OSU-ASU game.  I think the value is probably fair right now at somewhere between 3:1 and 4:1, but I just don't have a feel for the Beavers.  I am 0-2 on their games already and have temporarily black-listed them.  I just worry that DE has them playing up to the level of their talent already, and if that is so, they are probably either the 2nd or 3rd best team in the conference.  OSU might turn out to be the better team and two weeks from now we'll say the wrong team was favored, but the fact is these two QBs are unproven on the road.  And even with the return of Stroughter it might not be enough to get things going against a team with a pulse.  Bernard isn't 100% and even if he is they are probably going to cheat and leave the extra safety in or near the box.  One thing I am pretty sure of is that Carpenter won't have a field day passing.  Torrain/Herring/whoever might run the ball effectively, but I don't think they will get a lot of yards through the air.  That is why although I won't play it, I do endorse the under.

I'm just not sure OSU can score enough points to win.  31-10 or something could be a likely result.  Then again so could 28-27 in favor of the Beavers.

We skipped tOSU/NW because we both felt that is was a ridiculous game to bet on, and I am sticking with my position.  NW has what is probably the Big 11's worst stop unit and they might be one of the 5 worst in the BCS at defense along with Duke,  Syracuse, Stanford, Iowa State, etc at least in terms of talent if not actual production.  They have the offense to create a back door cover, and the defense to allow a front door cover, if you try to figure out which is gonna happen you might be right or you might be playing with fire.  OSU has already scored on a last second cheapie once this month.

Vinny, nice to hear from you again.  Let's make some money this year.  I might be in Vegas in a couple months.

Train, I'm starting to come around on UC.  Not totally sure just yet.  Might cop-out and let the line move dictate whether or not I am interested.

GL vols, drew, and everyone.

Problem with Kentucky is the situation, they made their season last week by beating their rival which hadn't happened in quite sometime.  Personnel-wise they ought to be able to score.  But first things first, their defense isn't any good and you have to think if Arkansas tries to establish the run, they will be able to.

I have all but marked the Hogs off my card, so you won't see any counter-action from me, but I'm not likely nor do I particularly feel inclined to take UK.  I would - in this case - recommend a spread play on the dog before I would recommend a money line play.  Arkansas backers couldn't feel good with a ten point lead late in the game because their secondary obviously has some major holes and Woodson could come in the back door, so its not a great lay situation, but I do think Arkansas is fundamentally the better team, and now they're at home too.

GL this weekend vinny.
