Sides  12 - 3    + 20

Totals 4 - 5   -2

Overall  16 - 8    + 18    ( 67% )

1unit=$100 



Going  6 - 6 this past week and picking up only .5 units. The only reason I didn't finish with a great week was because of the totals. I usually kill the totals but they killed me this week. My 3 best bets on the board cover with ease. Tennessee, Kansas, and Stanford. You guys don't worry about me with the totals, I'll get it going.



Ten Things We Learned


1.  Ohio S.T is really looking like a middle of the road type of team. These guys damn near lost yesterday against Toledo. I think this is a sign of things to come, Miami will beat these guys. BTW, Gary Patterson will be the next coach at Ohio S.T, just remember I told you that.

2. I'm sure most of you seen the Auburn game or the highlights. Holy shit. How does auburn live on the edge like they do every week and still come out with a win? Well, all that luck runs out this week when they travel to Death Valley.

3.  I think it's pretty obvious that Wisconsin is among the elite in college football. These guys just "look the part". Russel Wilson and that running game is the most well oiled machine in the country. If I put a poll out every week, these guys would be number 1 right now.

4. OK SEC nation, you ready for your review this week? LOL. Well, you looked better than you did last week. I think Alabama's overwhelming dominance of Penn S.T was impressive. As I said in my pre season breakdown, I think we may be looking at the greatest defense college football has ever seen. They are that good. As for the conference as a whole defensively.....not so much. Defense has seemed to go to the back burner this season. I want to add this about the SEC. I think the sleeper is Tennessee, they were my dark horse this season and they haven't let me down. 

5. There were some really lack luster performances this week. If your name is UNC, Clemson, Kentucky, Pitt, USC,  V.T, Syracuse, Nebraska and Ohio S.T...you all won your games, but looked like shit doing it. If your a fan of these schools, get in here and tell me what you think. I can tell you about my team ( Clemson ) there young right now. They looked young yesterday too, looking ahead to Auburn next week. I just hope they can mature as the year moves along.

6. Lane Kiffen. Am I the only person that just hates this guy guts? I think he is the scum of the earth. USC is another team with a horseshoe up there assess. I hope none of you got screwed last night in that game. I only seen the highlights but from what I could tell, the refs had it right. If they called the penalty on them for rushing the field ( btw... I HATE that new penalty ) and time ran out.... then USC shouldnt have been awarded the points. Something smells like shit, and its the PAC 12 for allowing that to count.

7. The game of the week. Notre Dame and Michigan. I thought the game was tremendous. Poor Notre Dame...LMAO. I've never seen so many busted coverages in my life. Hell, Michigan only has one pass play. Throw it high and deep and hope your guy catches it. But hey, if N.D cant defend it, then it's there fault. Overall, It was an exciting game and is why we all love college football so much.

8. Texas, are they back? Although I think Texas will ultimately overachieve this year, I DON'T think there back yet. Why is it so hard to understand that Gilbert is shit? Damn mac, the guy cant play. Play the McCoy kid. Hell at least he gives you a chance. Gilbert is a INT machine. Texas has along way to go, but they are improving.

9. I know this Forum likes the conference debate so here is what I think through 2 weeks. The Big East is the worst conference in America ( the Big 6 ) They are just getting smacked around. W.V and Pitt had all they could handle yesterday and they are the elite of the conference. I think as of right now it goes like this. 1. SEC 2. Big Ten 3. BIG 12 4. ACC 5. PAC 12 6. Big East.

10. This week is gone so don't dwell on the past. The most important thing you can do in gambling on college football is to always understand that your never as bad as you look at times and your never as good as you think you are at times. This week there should be very exciting games coming up, just stay focused and keep grinding.  
 




I will post some plays later when they come out.

Point #6-  USC was given the opportunity to decline the penalty in that situation, which any team would.  Although irrelevant at that point in the game, sticking with standard coaching decision making, you decline the penalty.  Unfortunately, it only affected gamblers.  Either way you look at it, people were going to win or lose regardless of how the final seconds transpired. 

Point #8-  Texas is anything but "back."  They'll be lucky to go 6-6 this season, even with these two wins under their belt.  Pick your battles wisely throughout the season, but you'll have a few opportunities to profit going against the Longhorns.


Good work on the Kansas and Tennessee plays.  As I mentioned to you, they were two of my top plays this week as well.  Kansas was definitely overmatched in that game in hindsight.  NIU has been, and will continue to be a valuable play in big matchups, and during bowl season.

Auburn going into death valley...

There is not an easy victory with my Tigers right now.  In week 1, Auburn played 13 True Freshman... and found a way to win.  Not sure what the total was, but I suspect the number of true freshman playing was about the same against a good Miss St team... and Auburn found a way to win.  Everybody wants to keep talking about "luck" with Auburn, and while Auburn has definitely had their good share of luck, I think the bigger story is the youth of this team finding a way to win.  With each passing week that Auburn gets a win, they get harder to beat because, with so much youth, they cannot help but to be growing and getting better.

Going into death valley will be an extremely tough test for Auburn, and I would not be shocked if Auburn exited death valley with an "L", but I think they CAN win this game...  as I think Miss St. is better than Clemson.  Yet, it is at Death Valley, and that element will be a new and tough experience for alot of youth on Auburn's team.

The key will be turnovers and Auburn continuing to improve on Defense.  Despite all the yards on the ground Auburn gave up against Miss St, I think they looked improved against Miss St.  If they improve the same amount this week, they'll have a good shot.

Either way, War Eagle!

boom-

as a Tenn alum, i also HATE lane kiffen. god i hope is is kicking himself for missing out on bray. this guy is money in the bank, and you can't say enough about the hunter and rogers. UT getting both UGA and USC at home is huge this year. i'm starting to love my preseason bet of UT to win the east that pays 10 to 1.

I will post some plays later when they come out.

As a long time USC fan, I want Kiffin to do well.  But, he is driving me crazy with his play calling.  Also, he shows the energy of a wet noodle laying on the kitchen floor.

I think he is going to be the "probation" coach and will be replaced when USC is capable of interesting a proven coach.

You are so right about the Mich / ND game being the reason we all love college ball.  Pure Hollywood, in a good way.  Sometimes I regret betting on a game because I worry more about the outcome and I don't really get to enjoy the play.  You know what I mean?

Pott - I might be one of the ONLY UN BIASED people on this site when it comes to there own team... You have NO CLUE

Gary Patterson will be the next coach at Ohio S.T, just remember I told you that.

gotta be Urban don't it?...

I don't think Patterson is polished enough for a job like this...to come in and represent a huge university....and state of Ohio kinda sorta.....> with zero ties ?
    *meaning THOSE that make the decision...will want a more CEO type guy running the show...same reason my man Mike Leach can't get hired

others....
I guess Dantonio is too old/comfortable to make a move....Pelini maybe if Huskers have a huge year...(but see reasons above)
If Fla St has a HUGE year....Mark Stoops maybe???
I like Pat Fitzgerald ....

best of luck man.........

Gary Patterson IMO is absolutely  Polished enough for that job. Let me ask you this. Who would you rather have, Jim Tressel Or Gary Patterson. IMO its a NO Brainer. he is defensive minded and thats what Ohio S.T is all about. If he goes to Ohio S.T, they win 3 NC in a 10 year period.

BTW, Gary Patterson will be the next coach at Ohio S.T, just remember I told you that....NOT So fast ... Don't sell the Buckeyes short...Jacory is a turnover machine and Golden stinks as a HC IMNHO ... Lean on Ohio St if somehow the DOG..

2. I'm sure most of you seen the Auburn game or the highlights. Holy shit. How does auburn live on the edge like they do every week and still come out with a win? Well, all that luck runs out this week when they travel to Death Valley. .... Bunch of schools in the SEC have a Much better offense than Defense ... Auburn might be 50/50 all season ...
 
3.  I think it's pretty obvious that Wisconsin is among the elite in college football. These guys just "look the part". Russel Wilson and that running game is the most well oiled machine in the country. If I put a poll out every week, these guys would be number 1 right now.....Badgers bandwagon is way TOO FULL ... anyone can look good playing horrible UNLV and Oregon St's worst team under Riley

4. OK SEC nation, you ready for your review this week? LOL. Well, you looked better than you did last week. I think Alabama's overwhelming dominance of Penn S.T was impressive. As I said in my pre season breakdown, I think we may be looking at the greatest defense college football has ever seen. They are that good. As for the conference as a whole defensively.....not so much. Defense has seemed to go to the back burner this season. I want to add this about the SEC. I think the sleeper is Tennessee, they were my dark horse this season and they haven't let me down.  ...Love the VOLS and Razorbacks ... Plenty of Value with both right now .... Bama is good but should lose 1+ this season

5. There were some really lack luster performances this week. If your name is UNC, Clemson, Kentucky, Pitt, USC,  V.T, Syracuse, Nebraska and Ohio S.T...you all won your games, but looked like shit doing it. If your a fan of these schools, get in here and tell me what you think. I can tell you about my team ( Clemson ) there young right now. They looked young yesterday too, looking ahead to Auburn next week. I just hope they can mature as the year moves along.... Lucky PITT and Va Tech started out with softies ... Thinking BOTH will be much better when conference play rolls in

7. The game of the week. Notre Dame and Michigan. I thought the game was tremendous. Poor Notre Dame...LMAO. I've never seen so many busted coverages in my life. Hell, Michigan only has one pass play. Throw it high and deep and hope your guy catches it. But hey, if N.D cant defend it, then it's there fault. Overall, It was an exciting game and is why we all love college football so much.....Love watching Notre Dame Lose.... I hope Brother Whodeysb is OK

8. Texas, are they back? Although I think Texas will ultimately overachieve this year, I DON'T think there back yet. Why is it so hard to understand that Gilbert is shit? Damn mac, the guy cant play. Play the McCoy kid. Hell at least he gives you a chance. Gilbert is a INT machine. Texas has along way to go, but they are improving..... Better but FADE value is there ... Thinking a combo of McCoy and Ash give the Horns their Best chance to keep Winning

9. I know this Forum likes the conference debate so here is what I think through 2 weeks. The Big East is the worst conference in America ( the Big 6 ) They are just getting smacked around. W.V anId Pitt had all they could handle yesterday and they are the elite of the conference. I think as of right now it goes like this. 1. SEC 2. Big Ten 3. BIG 12 4. ACC 5. PAC 12 6. Big East.......I have   1 SEC    2  PAC 12      3   BIG10     4   ACC     5   BIG12        6   BIG East or MWC 

10. This week is gone so don't dwell on the past. The most important thing you can do in gambling on college football is to always understand that your never as bad as you look at times and your never as good as you think you are at times. This week there should be very exciting games coming up, just stay focused and keep grinding.  
  Yeah I don't put much stock inyo my weekly ATS results ... So many of these games are like Throwing Darts like Brother AlphaDOG

OSU always has one of those games they play awful and you wonder how they're ranked....Navy a couple yrs back, Ohio (4 yrs back? ended up playing in bcs title game)....even before then with SDST, Cincy and Marshall.

With the terrible performance yesterday (only saw highlights, couldn't catch the game) oddsmakers will take that into consideration.....OSU will beat Miami, should be a dandy.

He looked scared playing against Akron....doesn't fully know the playbook, and if he didn't even play against Toledo, it'd be surprising to see him play Miami.

I agree, he's the future and needs the reps....they're not gonna burn his red-shirt for a waste.....right? Atleast give him easy packages when he's in the game. When JB is in the game, the D knows he's not gonna tuck it in and run 20-30 yards....Brax gives that other element.....the kid needs the confidence, and I'm pretty sure he lost some of it after Akron.

Boom, OSU goes as far as the defense takes them...too many big plays given up on Sat. That being said, i give them a 50/50 shot at winning in Miami for the reasons cherokee mentioned.

Don't know where you came up with the Patterson rumor. Do you have some inside info? Only rumor i've heard is about Urban Meyer buying a house in suburban Columbus, and with his ties to the state, they would have to take a shot at him.

TCU  -27.5   4 units

Clemson  -3.5   2 units

Iowa  - 3   2 units

Navy  + 18.5   2 units

Tennessee  +9   2 units



I will play more, just waiting and watching some lines.


Also I had a few people in my thread last week asking me about the juice. Well, it's as simple as this.... I dont post the juice. every unit is worth $100 to me. I'm 16 - 8 on the year up 18 units...... Don't come into my thread questioning my integrity over a few dollars via the juice. I put a lot of FREE TIME in for this forum and some of you in here make me want to leave at times because of your childish bitching and moaning over a few dollars. I don't post it cause it just takes up more time. BE FUCKING glad im posting my plays for you haters. Guess what!!!! if you don't like it, don't open the thread. I have tons of friends on here that shit like that doesn't matter.
