Chill. Your insights are appreciated by the vast majority reading this board (I include myself among them). But when you post as much as you do, on any topic, in any thread, your going to get the occasional obsessive anal-retentive. No way around it. If that truly bothers you that much, then you're probably correct to stop. But here's a suggestion, just ignore 'em, they'll go away. Guaranteed.

Dude, why are you getting so defensive...did I hit a nerve or something? I've told you like ten times I dont have anything against you personally...I just don't agree with the way you see some of these games. And I am not taking this personally, either. I dont know why you think I am...
I think you have many great views on here about college games... and most of them I agree with...and I am not twisting your words around...
"I already know Missouri is a legit BCS and NC contender... they do not need to prove it..."
Please tell me how I twisted those words around....
I offered a different point of view...I respect your opinion...how many times do I have to tell you that...This is why I don't like to post in here...because when I start disagreeing with somebody's viewpoint I get berated like I have no idea what I'm talking about...
Once again...I have nothing personally against you...BOL with your plays...

Excuse you, I am not anal-rententive. Just because I didn't see eye-to-eye with shepherd on something and I tried to explain it, don't start calling me names. You don't know me, so don't judge me. A nice example of talking out of your ass on the internet... what a shock.

no_chance... this is why Missouri is underrated... i already know Missouri is a legit BCS and NC contender... they do not need to prove it... on the other hand, most people (as you said) will need to see "proof" before they start really buying that stock...
translation... hopefully for the last time:
Missouri is a contender... that means they are good enough to make a run at it... that means i do not need to wait to see it before i bet it...
what does it NOT mean?

I guess we shouldn't even bother playing the Big 12 regular season since Mizzou should just be crowned conference champs and pencilled into the title game against whomever comes out of the SEC...since they have nothing to prove...
it does NOT mean this! it does not mean anything remotely similar to this...

Do you think there is value with illinois at Michigan this week....I feel that linesmen and bettors have over valued michigan's comeback win last weekend against an offensively inept Wisko offense. If Wisconsin was semi-competent in the passing game the game truly would have been over by halftime...Illinois, although they lost and failed to cover, played PSU tough on Saturday night in happy valley. Juice should have his way against Michigan defense and the michigan offense will continue to have problems offensively until Rich gets more of his option-type skill players into the program. Your thoughts are appreciated

I have been following you the last several weeks on here. I must say I am impressed with your analysis and am thankful for people like you on here. Now, on to my question:
What do you think about Kentucky+17 @ Bama? I feel like they have a great chance to cover that, as they have their best defense in recent memory IMO.
Also, I'm with Kenny on the Illinois pick, would like any insight there as well.
Thanks and BOL this week.

Flexit... i'm not big on parlays... pretty much anything more than a 2-teamer shouldn't be called a parlay... it should be called a donation... but if you must, i can only say i don't endorse the Texas pick...
others... no offense, but it sounds like a lot of rationalizing... you can't properly prepare for a college game in 4 days if the other team has 7... period! i don't care who you played the week before, i don't care how often you do it... 4 days is not enough!
i will definitely be on OSU on the ML and the side tonight... will be one of my combo plays... ML may not cover, but its a free bet anyway, cuz the side will definitely cover, and that pays for the ML bet...
I wish I would have seen commnets @ last night's game before they went off. I was on Or St but also USF. Anyways, people seem to really be taking notice of you.
I loved the reply to Devious in the BYU game thread.
OK, enough smoke blowing; are you leaning on Missouri yet?

Upside... take it with a grain of salt, since i most likely won't have any money on it... but honestly... what has Vandy done? who have they beat?
the SEC is about 5 teams: LSU, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Auburn... until Vandy beats one of those teams, i am much more inclined to bet against them in those games, then bet on them...
to me, Vandy looks like a public play, and the value is on Auburn...
Shep,
Couldn't agree with you more on your take of Vandy. They are dead last in the conference in both offense and defense!! They have been making their living on turnovers. I'm on Auburn.

I'll be playing these hard this Saturday. The chalk has bit me in the ass lately by not showing up like with clumsy Wake Forest last week. I think I might be daring and still lay the chalk with Texas Tech and Tennessee though. Thanks for the great insights shep!

Shep, just to make you feel better my friend, i was a "public" better and after reading your threads for the last 3 weeks, ive decided to chime in and let you know that you are truly appreciated as i took OSU and PITT as dogs last night and will be buying my plasma TV tonight so i can get ready for the weekend. keep up the good work bro. Love MIZZU, NEVADA and TENN this weekend, BOL!

genx, glad i can help... just take it easy and don't go betting your car on one of my picks... i stay very controlled and steady with my money-management, and i really hope that people who follow my picks do the same...
there really should never be any situations where someone comes in here all pissed off because i cost them a ton of money... if i'm not costing me a ton of money, i shouldn't be costing you a ton of money... never bet what you can't afford to lose... too many people are looking for an easy buck, and try to latch onto someone and then bet their paycheck because they think something is a lock... just remember, i can lose any or every pick on this card and i will still have money to bet next weekend...
that's my sermon for the day...
Dr_Cash... yes, i still like BYU to cover at (-29), but no i would not bet it at (-29)... i work extremely hard to get favorable lines, and if i can't get them i don't force the bet...
last week i had Ball St (-16.5) as one of my favorite bets... someone asked me on Friday if i still liked them at (-21.5)... it doesn't matter if i still like it at that number... the reality is, if you could have had a number at 16.5, and you instead get it at 21.5, you are being reckless (as anyone who had Ball St (-21.5) found out in painful fashion)... line-shopping is not just important... not just crucial... it is everything!
yes i think BYU will still cover 30... but the more you get away from that opening line, the more likely you are going to get burned on what would have been an otherwise good bet...
NC...
