Pretty much a regular
Again, I like to see the negative opinions about my picks before the games actually start, so that I'm not caught off guard about anything-a little bit easier this way to reconcile where you went wrong.
Last week I lost a little more than 2 units (my standard bet amount), going 6-7 (I middled the Clemson game though, so more like 5-6). Week sure felt a lot worse than that, though.
This week I really don't have much on the card that I like, but I like the plays that I've gone with a lot. Everything is 2 units again.
Georgia Tech -5 over Miami (-105)
I know that Miami gets some of their secondary back, but the game isn't at Miami (unless I'm totally spazzing out), and GT is coming off a thrashing, so they have everything to play for. I just think you are getting a much better team, at home, in a good position. Line has risen a little bit since I got it, but I'm not looking to middle this one...
Tennessee -3 over South Carolina (-124)
I'm not crazy about the juice, but I do love Tennessee only giving 3. Got this one very early...I believe the line is several points higher at this time. This one comes pretty simply-Tennessee is the better team, and has more to play for. While South Carolina is at home and Spurrier has owned Fulmer, the talent differential is simply too much to ignore. Erik Ainge struggled a little last week, and I think he comes out with something to prove here. Not sure I like the bet as much at -5 or whatever it is at now...
Buffalo +37 over Boston College (+103)
I feel fortunate to have gotten this line when I did...I know a lot of people are kicking themselves for not biting on it quickly. BC simply doesn't blow teams out. Tom O'Brien doesn't really believe in running up the score, and will just run vanilla runs once he gets up by a few TDs. In addition, Buffalo isn't as bad as in years past...and Matt Ryan is still a little bit dinged up-might be a good position to get the backup some work. BC can win by 5 TDs, doesn't matter to me...just not 37!
Northwestern +35 over Michigan (-105)
B.A.R and several other people have this one. Michigan isn't a real big run up the score team, but obviously there is always the risk that Northwestern could flat out hand it to them. Northwestern sucks, but in the few games that I've seen them, I've never felt like they quit. If NW hasn't quit, they will put up enough of a fight to stay within the spread here.
Let me know what you like/don't like...I'll be reading all of your threads and possibly adding plays as we go...
