yea, ksp... i know about that one, too... the only one that concerned me was Zac Robinson... all other stuff is known...
 
UGA will probably be without their starting center and have to start a freshman, so it evens out...

Felt like you did, wanted to make sure. Still a VERY strong bet IMO. You're right though if Zac or Dez go down this is a different game.

I really cant decide whether to play S. Carolina or not. It would just seem like an action bet

don't remember who said it... might have been BigDaddyPHQ (shit i think i got his name wrong)... but it's good advice...

sometimes the best bets are the ones you don't make...

 

i thought your write-up was pretty solid... maybe you should follow your own advice on this one...

 

i have no feel for it, personally... seems like it is possible to make a case for either side... whenever i feel that way i try to stay away...

I'm gonna throw 1/2 a unit on it. It's football, I'm on the EST and Ore/BSt is too late for me to get to work on time. This is the first time in 3 years that I remember Spurrier not down-talking his kids. He has that smug attitude this year. Either he's on the way out or he's got something to contend with. A buddy of mine says they have an ex-track guy at RB and he is lightning quick. If they win week 1, I'll play them against GA regardless of the GA/OKST outcome. DO NOT TAIL, but SC may have 2nd place in the east this year.

seems like Troy is a good bet, but it's another one i feel like i can make a case for both sides...
 
only games i am still thinking of adding are Ol Miss (for sure) and maybe Miami on Monday... will probably add that one if i hit big this weekend...
 
i think this is the best 3-teamer out there:  Texas, OU, Cal
 
hard to see any of those not covering... Texas is about as close to a sure thing as you can get... Texas and Ov looks like an easy 2-teamer...

congrats to Oregon for talking a lot of shit and then not showing up for the game... i think we got a taste of what life with Chip Kelly as a head coach will be...

and thanks to the stupidity of Blount at the end of the game, the easiest pick of next week might not be so easy anymore... assuming he will be suspended...

 

on to Saturday...

i'm not worried Vegas... knew this could be a trouble game... if they hadn't played such a terrible game i should have at least got the cover...
 
the Saturday card is where it's at... i'm a little pissed at myself for not being on Bowling Green, but there was a lot of love for Troy, and on paper they are the better team... but i should never miss a chance to hit a Th night home dog, and i know that... nobody to blame but myself for that one...
 
your card looks good...

Ice - Takes guts to come back to the thread and man up to the losses. so many people dont. Kudos

- I also went down on Oregon and its not like we didnt have our chances, Turnovers will kill you each time.

GL the rest of the weekend bro

Gold_Rush... i'm not going anywhere...

but what doesn't take guts is to come onto someone else's thread for the first time AFTER the game and talk shit... of course, i knew that was the kind of game that Tiasman plays...

one thing you will not see me do... is exactly what he did... and doing this is exactly why i already knew Tiasman was one of the cancers of covers... this just confirmed it for anyone who didn't know...
