Ah Hustle don't get bent out of shape because no one cares about any of your picks or threads.
People would rather take a losing pick from me than a winner from you solely for he write up and research alone.

QMICH, don’t get your blood pressue up, this is just a little socializing were doing here, no need to swear, we get it, but you’re wrong again. Not one game, two games.
Hey man raisd in Trenton Mich, attended Ferris State, glad I’m the hell out of that State.
Been in the south 20 years, I still root for my Lions other than that I would only go back for a death in the family. The last time I was there when i watched the Tigers lose to SF in the World Series.
Calm down man, it’s all good.

Guy’s the real blowout and I knew it but didnt play was on FLA, you knew they were going to blow out EKU.
By far the easiest play of the day. I hope they beat FSU next week and carry that coach off the field although i never liked him. Like they said, he went out with dignity, i guess it would be easy knowing you still have 6.5 million coming your way.
On to the Mac Conference you go Coach.

The problem with what you are saying is that I capped the game from top to bottom.
Say what you said to a guy who comes on here and posts:
OSU -35 (and that's it. No write-up).
You have no idea how bad the QB is for Indiana. I bet you don't even know how to pronounce his name. I watched Rutgers annihilate him.
You have no idea how much more dominant OSU is than a team like Indiana. And 35 really isn't all that much. I watched OSU destroy Rutgers by more than 35 and Rutgers pretty much destroyed Indiana.
Does that mean you should just lay 35?
No, you cap it. I capped it...fully.
And to say the weather had nothing to do with this is foolish. It turned a lot of this into a ground game. You think OSU has THREE turnovers in the FIRST QUARTER to this atrocious defense? Please.
You think Indiana played inspired D and caused that? No, there were other factors. The game started perfectly with OSU up 14-0 and you could hear a mouse fart in this thread.
The game ended with OSU scoring 42 despite ALL the blunders and poor play. That's pretty damn good.
You can't turn the ball over three times in nearly one quarter and expect to cover a 35 pt. spread. Is it an excuse? No. It's a reality. I did not foresee the weather and the early miscues and the fact that would of course, give Indiana confidence. Indiana deserves credit too, I won't deny them that.
But where are the reasons to back Indiana? Where are the posters showing me why it's a legitimate side? There isn't A SINGLE ONE from a SINGLE poster. Why? They have no idea who the hell Indiana is, except maybe if they are from Indiana.
SO they won by 15. When you spot 35 points, the best you can do is cover by 7 or 14. But if the other team gets some breaks, it can look REALLY bad at -35. That is THE RISK YOU TAKE with a -35 spread.
You should know that better than anyone.
Then of course in the nightcap, you make it sound like the ND pick was a homer pick. It wasn't. The guy missed a 32 yard field goal to tie. Who do you think has the advantage going into OT? Louisville? At ND? Of course not. So who got the break? What was the right side? Louisville just because it hit? So Denver on that Jets pick 6 was the right side, just because it hit?
Notre Dame was the right side regardless.
And I'll take time off when I feel like it's time to take time off.
I don't need your advice on it. Why? Because my college football record has WON PEOPLE money on here at 4-3.
I called the Indiana Rutgers game perfectly last week. Were you there for that one?
Before that I called the Michigan Penn state game perfectly? Were you there for that one?
Were you there when I called this exact same OSU team to crush Rutgers? No.
Were you there when Rutgers missed an extra point vs. Michigan and the only game I lost before yesterday was by a .5 point?
Probably not.
So you can save the 'time off' bit.
Nobody is taking anything off. I have enough credibility on this site to post on this site until the internet burns to the ground while I dance on its ashes.

Well said, Scal. There was no reason to bet Indiana today. You just had some bad luck. It happens to the best of us.

Thanks for the encouragement.
I'm not delusional. The OSU pick was a straight up loser. You take a risk at -35, a very big risk and you can look terrible if it doesn't hit. You take +35? How bad can you look? 7 off the spread? 10? The upper bound is very low.
To actually take and cap -35 means you have to stones, and a good cap. I had the good cap. It didn't pan out. I'll bet OSU doesn't turn the ball over 3 times in the first quarter for the next 3 years worth of games.
Unfortunately, it happened today...when I was laying 35...

I wasn't taking any shots at you personally in anyway. It was a suggestion. When I struggle it works for me. Nobody questioned your credibility on here at all. I"m from the Midwest so unfortunately I follow the big 10 and know a little bit about the conference.
ND was the biggest bet in Vegas. Everybody was taking them coming off a loss last week to Northwestern. It happens you had a bad week who cares. But don't come at me like I'm one of these clowns ripping you because of your picks. I want to see people do good and win money.
I took Indiana because of your writeup but I'm not going to sit here and blame you. Ohio St got up 14-0 and lost focus/interest. You take away the 2 INT's thrown in Indiana's territory and we have a whole different ballgame. I agreed with the pick, that's why I took it. I also had Iowa +10. It takes time to go in depth with these write-ups so respect.
Just like I was on the Jets when Talib took that pick to the house. It's betting and that's why it's a hobby for me. GL the rest of the season
