Mac,  Just making a thought on FSU.  No criticism at all. Didn't know you had BC.

No I had FSU -7. Their offense was really bad there was no doubt about it. Interested to see how they perform next week @ Wake Forest with Miami FL and Louisville on deck. Thinking about fading FSU - good spot.

Mac,   Sounds like we have the same opinion of that game. I think?   Yeh,,  will be curious going forward with FSU plays. 

 I know it isn't good money management but might play some more on Rice. For some reason it is down to -7.5.

Mac,  I know this is horrible money management but the TT for N. Tx. is 24.5.  I'm playing the under.  Got a lot riding on this game.  May add some more. Sometimes you just have to roll the dice. Can't see  N. Tx. getting close to 24.

Glad you didn't take UNLV. Don't think Coach Sanchez is going to risk his QB for a meaningless game like this. 

But I do love Temple -10 now -13

Rice -8 ... 3 units
California -6.5 ... 1 unit
Florida TT Under 28 ... 2 units

Added to the card is Florida team total under 28 points. A few reasons for this: 1) The Florida place kicking game is awful. 2) Florida only scored 24 offensive points at home vs. ECU. A road SEC game for a really inexperienced offense???? Other reasons mentioned for this in the UK vs. Florida game write-up. I think Florida's TT is a great way to exploit what I want without having to risk Kentucky +3.5. 



Corrected my EMU typo

Big mistake starting Decker for UNLV. It won't matter because Mich just intercepted him and should go up 14-0. 

That's my lovely Rebels for you !

This is what covers should be about. A good handicapper sharing his insight, and taking the time to do so. I, for one, appreciate it and even though I don't agree with a couple picks.... That's what makes it a great forum. Great work and thank you for the work put into your posts.

Oh man! that Cali game really had me choked in the end, man!
I lost but it was worth risking 1 unit.

3 TDs in 4th qtr for Texas...what a joke from Cal. I think it was a good pick I stand by it. Cal had the cover straight up blew it. Offense didn't sustain drives when they needed to.

USC game was a killer. California should have covered but didn't. Onto next week. Make sure to fade my likely upcoming pick of the month.
