Week 3

[Blackman]

YTD: 6-2 +870


Four early leans: Arkansas, BYU, UNC and FSU.

Need to see where the numbers settle in and invest some time into the teams further before I pull the trigger.


Good luck as you research.

very nice start to the season blackman....

continued success...

 

[Blackman]

Thanks AR.

Already regret not taking ND +10 when the line was there, not because I love the bet but just because of the tremendous line value it could hold. Oh well.


I played these four, write ups hopefully to follow:

BYU -6.5 220/200
FSU -4 220/200
UNC -3 220/200
Arky +3 210/200


I am moving this weekend, and am in the process of packing, so won't be around for 2h plays and added adjustments. Hope to have some time to at least post the reasoning behind these four.

Best of luck.

like the 2 acc plays. unc is pumped up with their new coach while uva may be losing theirs in the near future. fsu may be getting better as the players get used to their new offensive coach.

I like UNC a lot in this spot based on what I've seen out of UVA, they are terrible. Agree with you Butch Davis is having a positive impact already from the little bit I've seen of the Tarheels.

I watched every play of the Colorado game last week, and I just do not see them moving the ball with any consistency on the FSU defense. Road chalk is a risk with their offense, but they should score enough to get it done.

Like UNC because they are at home but I would like to see Paulus get some snaps in that offense. Staying away from FSU because they just are bad and Ryan is a proven pressure QB.

Cheers

Adding one last play.

UCLA -13.5 220/200

Reluctant, as Utah as been one of my horses for the past 4-5 seasons, and I can't remember the last time I went against the Utes. Just feel they were at at speed and depth disadvantage in this matchup before the injuries, and now they look completely depleted.

 

[Blackman]

I can't believe I'm on this team again....


Minnesota -7 220/200: FAU is 0-8 in last 8 vs BCS teams, average loss margin is 36.5. Minny O line outweighs the FAU D Line by 35 lbs on average, and FAU can't stop the run as is, Gophers should have the ground attack going.
