Pulled the trigger on Utah even though I hate laying points on the road. Leaning to Houston tonight.

Lean to favorites Georgia, Ole Miss (love to bet against California teams playing the early game in heat and humidity they never knew existed), and Washington State, dogs Colorado, Louisville, Auburn, Wyoming, BYU, maybe Michigan and SD State.

Something tells me there is a good bet on the Texas/Ok State game, but I can't figure out what it is. maybe I'll take the over just on general principles. Same with the UCF/Pitt game. There must be a bet there, but what is it?
 
No. I made a vow two years ago to never bet another under as long as I live, so I'm passing on total on this one.

Sorry, I don't usually bet until just before kickoff and then get on the computer and post the pick.

I removed it from the Handicapper's post.

I'll be more prompt on getting it on here early

That's fine. We just need accurate accounting and posting because a lot of people enjoy this thread. The other issue is you won +11 units last week according to your records. That's wholly impossible even with the big KSt and UCF (nice plays btw) wins. That Michigan State ML had no price attached. That's a 7.00-8.50 unit loss on that play alone. We just want everyone to represent themselves correctly especially for the new guys coming on board. Again, the handicappers thread gets a lot of views so we need to keep it in tip top shape :shake:
 
Added SVP and Blazing 5 and Best Bet for Stanford Steve

Dropping Louisville as possible bet. Still can't find a straight answer on whether Ville QB will play. Missed last week with a bad wheel and they aren't releasing info on if he is back this week

The dropoff from Pass to Cunningham is too much I take it?
 
Adding Michigan +3x, parlay (1/4 unit) on UCF over, other over game to be named later

Thunderstorms and lightening today at all Big 10 games. Not sure about Nebraska game, which has been moved to a night game.

Still have no word on Ville QB so passing that game.

Good luck to all
GL Tahoe!
 
Nice week for Steele. It might be time to take that guy out to pasture
