another week above ground keeping it around 43

forum so much quieter this time of year as the bookies get richer 

what does Ed O do now that he realizes his team is a Les Miles version & that Saint Nick has adapted to 2018 style of offense while he’s still running a Michigan offense with a worse Qb, having two weeks to prepare for one another it was apparent that Bama is on a different level, they were two botched xp’s away from winning by 31 in a night game at LSU with very head scratching red zone play calling & self destruction, just let that settle in & inhale for a few minutes, wtf

Jimbo dominates Auburn & still finds a way to lose, wow, Ags may lay down after he brutalizes them in practice this week, Mond looks awful for stretches of most games, he’s a work in progress at best & prob not the answer, first year with Jimbo so we will give him more time, if that game ends Gus may have been fired after next week because you know he’s not beating Georgia most likely 

great win for Mich vs Penn St in what the announcers are calling the revenge tour, they played tough defense as I expected & did what they do, I saw way too many handoffs up the middle to know what their fate is, Bama smacked them years ago so that would count as revenge wouldn’t it?  please for the love of all that is right in this world let that happen, Bama -14 please & thank you 

Frost was close in the Shoe, kind of the story of his season, that team is getting closer though & the teams in that conference better be on notice, he just walked a team 2/3 stars from a pro style offensive system in his first year into the crib of 4/5 stars against a legend like Urban with multiple natties, take notice, the Skers are coming & they are iPhone 8, not a flip phone 

I love Coach D but why isn’t Rocky Lombardi his QB now? LeJerky is terrible & the team hates him, he was 11 of 20 for 87 yds & an INT....Rocky is the future right?  Luckily they were playing Maryland who only beats Texas 

speaking of Texas, another bad defensive day for the fighting Orlando’s, you can’t beat Maryland, Okla St or West Virg, I love TH & I so want Texas to be great again but I’m not sure where they are going, their defense isn’t good enough, I don’t see anything here to be excited about other than beating OU, whom a bad Texas Tech just scored 46 on with possibly the worst backup QB a tech team has ever had, Duffey is a turnover waiting to happen, anyhoo, I see close wins over Tulsa & K State & a team that could be 4-5 fairly easily, are they improved ?  If so, I don’t see it 

no offense to Kentucky but you had no offense, you got lucky to win at mizzou & while you’ve been a nice story this season, you’re kind of still behind the big boys as one would expect, UGA ran for a 4 spot on what seemingly had been a great defense all year, good sign for Dawg fans 

Notre escapes with a rare win over NW, them & Akron 

Clemson creampied Bobby, thank you for the 4 wins on 1 game Dabo, much appreciated, didn’t help our record of 43 but neither has the entire year 

Clem & Bama are a step above the rest 

Bama better stay on point this week though because Joe has Miss St looking like I expected at the beginning of the year, Nick has a little better presence back there & is dropping throws in better, nice defense & liiiiiiiive dog possibility this week with Tua looking gimpy, not sure I’ll do it but it’s the right spot for it, takes huge stones 

Wazzu with a not so impressive win over Cal, line slowly dips from 11 to 6.5 all week long as if someone knew something most didn’t, they win by 6 , hmmmmmm

Utah St & Fresno St are both good 

Utah gets worked at Herm Nation?  Ummm, ok



Top 10 coming at some point

Man, I agree with almost everything you said, EXCEPT nick Fitzgerald. He absolutely looked better, but they have no shot at covering a number less than 21. I think it’ll be higher, so it doesn’t reallu matter. 
And it’s not all his fault. His offensive line, especially the right tackle, is brutal. They just can t pass block long enough. And you couple that with his shakey (at best) pocket presence... gonna be a LONG night for that offense. 
He’s in his head. Last night there were multiple times when he should have ran, he looked like he was gonna, started to take off and then suddenly stopped as if he thought, “I’m a pocket passer, what am I doing”.  And then sack.  He just looks light years away from being able to pull a cover, much less a win to me. 
I like this Miss st team. LOVE their defense. They’ll present a different problem to that Bama offense than LSU did. But I just don’t see Fitz doing anything but throwing picks and getting sacked.

I generally need 2 breaks per year as this place gets crazy, especially when you’re great fade material like myself 


& agree on Miss St not winning but they’ll be catching about 28ish, Tua is one snap away from being in the locker room & Hurts is in a boot, without those two that Miss St defense will most likely be good enough to get that cover, besides, the spot here is for Bama to receive pats on the back all week & not take Miss St serious since they know the team they just dominated just dominated Miss St, Saban won’t be thinking that way but the players will, I’m not saying I’ll bet State but if the line is high enough I’ll consider, I realize Bama resides on a different planet than State, we will see how the lines shakes out

my mind works differently, not always a good thing though

Kentucky a good lesson for us gamblers, a different situation might have snuck up on Geo.  At home though, in possibly the biggest football game in state history.  That D got worked, that was the surprise.  And didn't look like they thought they could, that is the coach.

A&M, they absolutely dominated.  Before those last 2 drives it was something like 180 to -5 rushing and 20 to 5 1st D.  Mond looked like he could be something special after that Clemson game, he has done nothing but regress since.  He was awful vs Aub and nearly single handedly lost that game.  Both his decision making and his mechanics have worsened.  Back to back conference roadies are tough but thats the deal in the SEC.

Is LSU any better than A&M?  Different I would say but no better.  LSU's biggest problem isn't the QB its that OL.  And the defense has an unusual lack of pass rush from their DL.  Compare those box scores and consider A&M's best 2ndary player was ejected in 1Q, Tua was healthy, and they were at Alabama.

It is a very close race but I have the B10 edging out the P12 for the worse P5 conference.  The ACC isn't far behind.  This is a down year for NCAA in general, hell TCU and OKlite may not make a bowl and this might be the worse K-State ever under Snyder.  A few tiers, Bama and maybe Clemson, ND/Georgia/Oklahoma, then a whole mess of Average Joe's Gym members.  I put OU in there because their offense is elite and because the sport is so down they could beat just about anyone on a given day despite their D.  I keep thinking that D is going to show some pride and can't possibly be that bad, and I'm constantly disappointed.  Michigan gets whacked because the B10 is so bad.  I think Purdue is the 2nd best team in the B10.  I think either Fresno St or Utah St could make a run at winning the P12.  And I think UCF would be playing Clemson for the ACC championship game.

yes, big 10 only lost 3 home games to MAC this year , not bad 

Pac also brutal , like really bad , that’s my conf but oh my are they dreadful 

Mich is a nice defense , good coord , play hard , hoping they win big & get playoff , good for college football & freebie bet if they play Clem or Bama 

TCU & KState are unreal, both have great coaches but man, not even sure how to describe those two this season, prob time for Bill to retire & Gary to get a different offense that will allow him to coach up his defense like he once could, when you’re up tempo & inefficienct it’s hard to be a real defense & he’s a defense first coach

I didnt see all the Bama game, but I did see......

Ed O punt from inside his own 40 twice which is freakin stupid if you really wanna have a chance to win vs a great offense....also, down 22 with 10ish minutes in the game ya dont kick a fg and leave yourself (had he made it) STILL DOWN 3 SCORES.....

Not sure how people get jobs coaching football when I wouldnt trust them working at Arbys.....

Any team in college football is a big underdog to Clemson and Bama and we all know it.

Your a big Michigan hater and we all know it. They are winning and all the "Michigan is garbage", "Sorry AZZ Michigan", "Harbaugh won't last three years" folks ARE NOW QUIET on Covers. So you now hang your hat on "wait til Michigan goes up against Bama" 401K bet.

I loving it all!!!!!

Michigan DE Chase Winovich coined the term "Revenge Tour" before playing Michigan State,not the announcers on Saturday.

Michigan's first drive was run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run-TD. Kinda explains running up the middle most of day.

And yes, my coffee was bitter this morning!

Couldn’t be further from the truth, I like Michigan & have stated several times it’s better for college football if they are in the playoff

My thread is about money, not the one you want to visit as a fan , I figure on a betting forum I focus on betting, I’m a fan when I’m in a team forum 

No team is safe in my thread if money is involved 

If you like winning money, good thread , fan, not as much

Nobody comes to my thread, lol... but I once again get covers mvp for calling the Nick Saban ground game plan. I said he would run it down their throat and have Tua throw “safe” instead of his normal reads. That garbage won’t work vs Clemson!!!

my mind works differently, not always a good thing though 

Haha I think my post was poorly constructed.  I was a lil bitter about Fitzgerald taking all those sacks.  I had them -22.5 but I also had the over 49... And if he had some semblance of pocket presence, they would have scored 50+... 
I agree with a play on Miss st, but I'd probably need 35.  I'm probably gonna be on the under if it's reasonable. I think it'll be a coasting game for the Bama players, no matter how much Saban tries to motivate them.  I Bama will struggle to run on them.  And I think Saban just wants to get Tua out alive lol..

What's up with the Meechigan fan hating on ya?????  I don't even understand his point???  
You said we should all be Michigan fans from here on out... and I agree, we should.  Cuz that game won't be close.  I would hope we get a spread less that -21.  Would be a dream situation...

I love when fans come onto a gambling forum and talk like fans

DestroyThePitch, how about Ohio State vs Bama? How about Notre Dame vs Bama.

I would be on Bama against any of these at -14 including Michigan. Of course Bama would roll. WE ALL KNOW it's Bama, Clemson, and everyone else a very, very distant 3rd. 

So why single out Michigan? Did LSU lose because they run a Michigan offense with a worse QB? I don't think so. They lost because Bama is loaded and is a complete team. 

It's those little jabs that are very telling. That's why I had a beef.

Am I Michigan fan, hell ya. Did I bet Michigan against Penn St, hell no. I thought Penn St would keep it close.

This Michigan team is no world beater, will be lucky to win out and then maybe the big ten. Do I believe they could beat Clemson or Bama, hell no, worlds apart just like everyone else.

Michigan is one of the programs I donate to bro, do you?

Oregon, Texas, USC just to name a few others of my favorite programs I donate to

I rip all 4 all the time this year

None are safe 

I like LSU, don’t really like Bama , bet on Bama even though I was cheering for LSU, it’s about money to me, not feelings & fans 


Mich has one of the best defenses in cfb & if you’ll read last weeks thread I said they put a beating on Penn St (facts matter)

I rip Michigan because Jim refuses to adapt the modern football, it’s the same thing I used to rip Sec fans for, it’s that simple

I’ve said they have the best fight song on the planet, I give them money, I like them

Don’t allow a thread about making money to affect your feelings UNI

I got a nasty email from a Texas fan, that’s literally the program I gave the most to this year, I suppose my wording draws emotion out of people (not by design), I just call a spade a spade

all about betting & winning money, period 

if that offends someone they have the wrong approach to a betting forum

I would steer clear of a live dog bet on miss st. The Texas am numbers are flawed as he had open WRs running around all day. He made throws that high school qbs can make. 3 plays made up for like 150 of his yards. As for la tech game everyone drops dimes on them.  He will resort to the nick that threw for less than 90 yards a game when facing good defense this week. Bama will shut down ms states one dimensional offense and cover what I figure to be around 21-24 points. Tua has been gimpy for 3 games now too

Man, someone pee in your cornflakes or something?? 

I mentioned Michigan because they were the topic of discussion. Don’t get your panties in a wad. Obviously Bama would destroy any team not named Clemson (and even then, I have my questions). I just think the spread would be more respectable with Michigan than with any of those other teams. Which is the point of a gambling website.  Guys like you on here crack me up lol. 
Btw, I did bet Michigan bs Penn state cuz it was pretty obvious to me it wasn’t gonna be close. But of course, I’m a hater....
