Monday:

Really like the over 44.5. I know both teams are defensively strong... just feeling like we get some points. I expect the Rams offense to not wet the bed in National TV again.


Lean Bears +6 as the Rams have no business laying anything close to a TD.

Update: no initial play. Will look for some in game action

Lol I went against the grain. As the lined moved I took Rams @ -5.5
Rams First half -3
Over 43

Adding Rams -3 second half

Fkn lame how I talked myself out of the under lol.
Oh well finished 3-1 on the night. Good start to the week.

I will play TB tmw for 3 units. More Dodgers money should come in tonight so that Rays value should go up.

Well It's my hobby besides coaching on the side
Pops introduced me to the finer points of sports gambling and I'm glad he taught me and not a friend or stranger. He really set a foundation of guidelines to follow. Never been in to deep (except for clearing out the bookie in college and having to get my uncle who is in the FBI to scare him lol)

I throughly enjoy it. Wife is fully good with it too as I never dip into our account. She's fully supportive lol. So many damn highs and lows and grey hairs but it's fun!! You wind up becoming a good college scout in a sense as you find yourself watching a lot of film and games.

Started with 19 CFB lines I liked. Took a deep dive into some stats and now narrowed it to 6, will probably make the call later today on them

I think there are a lot of trap games this week. For example Wake Forest vs Syracuse +11. I knew Syracuse D was trash but didn't realize Wake Forrest offense without QB Newman really hasn't missed a beat. That OC better get picked up by somebody soon, that's 4 years straight of a good O on WF, not an easy task.

I almost initially wanted Michigan State +25 vs Michigan. But after looking at the numbers, it really might be that lopsided of a game.

I never have done over/unders. Did one this year, took Over 64 for Kansas State Texas Tech. Final score was 31-21. But get this, BOTH teams starting QBs got hurt and left the game early

Over 50 on the TNF matchup

I almost bet South Alabama +5 vs Georgia State. But after rewatching South Alabama I was pretty low on their D and did no bet.

So far I've placed
-Ole Miss -17.5 at Vanderbilt - If Vandy can score more than a TD, it'll be a surprise. On the other end, Ole Miss has a high octane offense and Lane Kiffin the type to pour on points late when the game is over
-North Carolina -7 at Virginia - Well the Tar Heels offense is going to pile on points, excellent run game and UVA has a terrible pass D. The real question is if the Tar Heels D can do anything
-SD State -7.5 at Utah State - SD State was completely dominating in week 1, Utah State was completely dominated in week 1. Polar opposite week 1s.

So 3 road favorites....

Also looking at Houston +2.5 vs UCF....torn on the game

Love that UNC play. I'm on that one too. As well as SDSU. Good luck today!

Took Texas +3.5

Here's what we got on the books for today

Colts -3
Ravens -3


Afternoon:
SF +3.5
Den-LAC: Over 44
