Unbelievable... I'm 1-6 after tonight. Luckily played most of my games small, but I'm downright pathetic. Going to show the emotions I have felt in this awful start to College football, a sport I normally dominate.
:com: :mad: :gf: :

Probably the best fade on the Internet right now in college football... seriously!

Units Won & Lost on Plays:
La-Monroe -8*
Miss State -5.5*
Iowa State -3*
Miami, Ohio +2*:00hour
Utah -2.75*
Navy -2.75*
Syracuse -9.7*

Overall 1-6 -29.7* in college football
Thank God I've been hot in baseball since Monday so my overall number since Monday is -0.5*:00hour Only down $50 for the week, but why did I come out firing in college football with dogs and get destroyed:shrug:

Saturday Games (Please show me some winners as I'm playin quite a bit of chalk which isn't my style) with scary predicted final scores:

Colorado State ML (+125) for 6* - Bell is back at RB for CSU after missing 2006. He was a stud in 2005 and the Rams really missed him last season. CSU returns 18 starters and they are an impressive 9-2 ATS in first lined game since 1996. Colorado is starting a freshman @ QB and star athlete Bernard Jackson is listed as doubtful. Colorado went 2-10 last season and the Big 12 was downright pathetic in out of conference games last season. Good spot for an Underdog to win... at least I'm hoping:00hour

Colorado State 27 Colorado 17

Wisconsin -14 for 5* - Tough to buck the solid Badgers at home. Wisky has been awesome ATS @ home in recent seasons as they are 18-1 SU and 11-5-1 ATS. They are facing a WASU team that has been a Pac 10 bottom feeder the past 3 seasons. I like Wisky to show dominance at home and make a statement in the opener. WASU lost 5 of top 7 tacklers and should have trouble on defense. Doeren, an acquaintance of mind is the Defensive Coordinator for Wisky and he'll have them ready vs. Brink who is a solid QB without a ton of weapons.

Wisky 31 WASU 10

Miami, Florida -17.5 for 3* - Tough to back the Canes at this huge number, but Miami did play defense last season and Marshall's offense was anemic most of the season. Bradshaw has left, and the offense appears lifeless. Miami won't score a ton, but enough to get the cover. I would be surprised if Marshall gets a TD.

Miami 31 Marshall 3

Mich. State -22.5 for 4* - Too bad I didn't jump on this game earlier. UAB has a new coaching staff and only 7 starters back:scared UAB's 2-deep roster includes 15 freshman and 12 sophomores. UAB was 3-9 last season and facing a Michigan State team ready to kick ass after last year's frustrating season appears to be a bad spot.

Michigan State 45 UAB 14

Va. Tech -27.5 for 4* - Tough laying this many points with Va. Tech, but they should come insprired to play on Saturday. ECU is breaking in a new QB named Kass against a squad that lead the nation in PPG @ 11 & YPG @ 219 last season and didn't lose much. Crowd should be very loud and proud after last year's disaster.

Va. Tech 44 East Carolina 10

Wyoming ML +145 for 4* - Cowboys are coming off a 6-6 season in which they had 2 OT losses and 2 other losses by less than 7 points. Pokes finished the season 5-2 with Sween @ QB. Wyominig is also 7-3 ATS as home dog under Joe Glenn. Virginia is a miserable 2-9 ATS last 11 games away under Groh. Revenge factor could play a part in this game as well.

Wyoming 27 Virginia 23

GLTA and don't say I didn't warn you about my plays.

Leans for later games:
Kansas -7 (-120) vs. C. Michigan - CMU has a great QB, but not much else.

Nebraska -20.5 vs. Nevada - AR (After Rowe) could be horrid days for Wolfapack who have sucked on the road recently.

Memphis +3 (-120) vs. Mississippi - Memphis could be most improved team in the country.

Northern Illinois +13 vs. Iowa - Tough spot for the Hawkeyes as NIU can play some ball.

Under 45 Notre Dame vs. Ga. Tech - Rare for me to play a total, but this looks very solid.

Missouri -4 (Love this play) vs. Illinois - Could be Vegas sucker special as Illannoy was only 2-10? However, MU's offense should be something special.

Stanford +17 vs. UCLA - Way too many points IMO as UCLA isn't that great on offense.

Arizona +4 @ BYU - Mormons are an old team, but Stoops will have his boys ready for the upset.

Wake Forrest +6 @ Boston College - Not sure if I'll play this game, but leaning towards Deacons.

Oklahoma State +7 (-120) @ Georgia - Pokes will be awesome on offense.

Auburn -12.5 vs. Kansas State - I know they have their #1 RB suspended, but you can't spell SUCK w/o KSU.

Tennesse +7 (-120) @ Cal - Still curious about Ainge's injury.

USC -46.5 vs. Idaho - I know it's a ton of points, but it's Idaho and they are the worst team in the WAC.

South Carolina -28 vs. La Lafayette. Superior isn't afraid to run up the score and ULL is the perfect opponent for a 45 point win.

Troy +24 @ Arkansas. Troy is actually okay vs. the run and could give weak passing Arkansas some problems.

Hopefully my luck turns around quickly:Yep: :mj09:

Thanks Right Side... I have never started this cold and rarely needed to win as bad as right now. Hopefully tomorrow marks the beginning of a succesful season or I might be finished sooner than later.

Keep your units consistent, even if its the first week.

IF you want to play small then do it, but dont put 3-4x as much on one game (la-m vs m-oh)

Let go of the irrational thought that is, lots of favs are covering so that will continue. Ridiculous.

Dont lay big points in week 1. You dont have to take them but dont lay 20-30 or more points this week.


Normally dont take the time to help out with pointers, but I too am laying low this week and watching ALOT of games while taking notes. Otherwise Id be on my 5th cup of coffee with 12 windows going trying to find Mark Snyders press release.

Wait, I'll be doing that next week.

Missouri -5.5 for 9* & 1st half -3 (+100) for 4* - I really think the Tigers take them to the woodshed today. This Missouri team should be very solid offensively. MU 38-17 sounds about right.

Ga Tech/Notre Dame Under 44.5 for 3*

Ga Tech Pick for 5*

Nevada +21 for 4* - Originally liked the Huskers, but I believe they keep the game plan very vanilla with USC in two weeks.

Arizona +4 (-120) for 5*

Stanford +17 (-120) for 4*

Wake Forrest +5.5 for 2.5*

Oklahoma State +7 (-120) for 5*

Northern Illannoy +12 for 2.5*

Troy +22 for 2.5*

Kansas -7 (-120) for 5* - Homer pick, but CMU lost a lot of guys, but have their QB who is awesome.

I will probably play a few more games later.
