    ecu (+10) 2 units ecu (ML) 1 unit to win 2.9. this is a good matchup for ecu. temple is struggling in the passing game. russo is completing 47% of his passes and has thrown 1 TD and 5 INTs. they rely on the ground game. ecu is 9th in the country, allowing 94.8 yards/game. northwestern...

    cin/atl over (51.5) 3 units. first team to 30 wins! chicago (-2.5) 2 units. i'm assuming fitzpatrick is starting. he should be good for 3 or 4 turnovers before he gets pulled. apparently he almost got pulled last week for ryan griffin (a 5th year guy out of tulane. and, yes, i had to look...

    Virginia (ML) 2 units to win 3.7. nc st is 3-0, but those wins are over james madison, georgia st, and marshall. virginia dominated a bad louisville team last week and i really like their chance of getting a win in raleigh today. virginia's ground game has been great so far and i think the...

    atlanta (-1.5) 2 units. i don't understand all the love for NO. the saints lost at home to the bucs and should have lost to the browns. minnesota (-16.5) 2 units. yeah, laying this many points in the nfl is foolish. but i'm going to keep betting against buffalo until they give me a reason...

    running late. just the noon games for now. iowa st (-19.5) 2 units. this line baffles me. akron is coming off a win at northwestern. iowa st opened with losses against iowa and oklahoma and they have tcu next week (followed by 2 more ranked conference opponents). hard to believe they'll be...

    ah, week two in the nfl. the best week to make money because everybody overreacts to week one. i keep saying that, one of these years, i'm going to get my ass handed to me on week two. probably this year, because i'm finally increasing my plays this week. pittsburgh (-4) 4 units. the...

    syracuse (ML) 2 units to win 2.8. syr/fsu over (69.5) 3 units. gotta believe syracuse has had this one circled since last year. dungey missed most of the first half after breaking his foot, and yet he still threw for 278 yards and ran for another 109 in a 3-point loss. the noles struggled...

    here we go... Houston (+6.5) 2 units Houston (ML) 1 unit to win 2.2. it's time for the pats to come back down to earth. jj watt will "accidentally" eat the pretty dog on his 4th sack. Cincinnati (Pk) 2 units. the colts are awful, and it's hard to believe luck will have much impact just yet...

    St. Paddy's Day

    some food for thought... 4 years ago, villanova was a #2 seed, laying 4 in the second round, and lost to uconn. 3 years ago, villanova was a #1 seed, laying 9.5 against nc st in the second round, and lost. last year, villanova was a #1 seed, laying 5 to wisconsin in the second round, and lost...

    NC Game

    georgia (ML) 2 units to win 3.2. i don't like georgia as much as i did in the rose bowl, and we all saw what an easy win that was. :) but there are a number of reasons to like georgia tonight. for one thing, i've been very impressed with fromm. i remember his first start at nd. the kid...

    Rose Bowl

    georgia (-3) 3 units. love georgia in this game, despite the freshman qb. playing on grass should really help their style of play (unless the rose bowl put down field turf at some point, but that seems heretical). anyway, as a general rule, i always take the good defense against the good...

    Monday Bowl Games

    full disclosure... i think i've been profitable on new years day maybe once in the last ten years. Outback Bowl Pass... is what i should do. pretty sure i've been on the wrong side of 26 straight outback bowls. fuck it, let's go for 27. michigan (-8.5) 1 unit. this line is kinda nuts, so...

    Taxslayer Bowl miss st (ML) 1 unit to win 2.3. no, i don't love the bulldogs today, especially without fitzgerald. this is just an anti-louisville play. here's a list of all the cardinals' wins this year: purdue north carolina kent st murray st florida st virginia syracuse kentucky sure...

    Friday Bowl Games

    full disclosure. i am on one of my patented runs where i can't hit a bet to save my life. i've been on the wrong side for 11 straight bowl games. i mean, that's impressive. so i offer these plays as a PSA. if you do not fade these, you shall lose. Belk Bowl wake (-4) 2 units. i love this...

    Birmingham Bowl Texas Tech (ML) 2 units to win 2.2. no doubt south florida is the better team. but how motivated are they going to be to play a 6-6 texas tech team after losing what was basically their super bowl against UCF? i think the red raiders are going to light up a suspect defense...

    December 16 Bowl Games

    i haven't posted any plays this year, but i can't pass up bowl season. although, admittedly, i've had a pretty shitty year on college football. New Orleans Bowl troy (-6.5) 2 units. this old sun belt matchup leads off our bowl season. hands down, the difference here is the defenses. troy...

    2nd Half

    atlanta (+4.5) 3 units. this is the true test of belichick's genius. their only chance to win is to bring in garoppolo. i'm guessing he won't do it, and the falcons don't even have to pretend to respect the run game now. they'll be in brady's face every play. i don't think brady has hit a...

    Super Bowl

    just a few thoughts on the game. and here's a link to bill barnwell's write-up, which i think is a must-read every year. hard for me to imagine anyone breaking down the game better than this...

    houston (-4) 1 unit. hard to love either side here. obviously the raiders' success is due primarily to carr. i wouldn't be shocked if cook turns into an ok qb some day, but it ain't gonna happen today, against this defense that allows the 2nd fewest passing yards in the league. on the other...

    Monday Bowl Games

    First, a word to the wise. Fade these plays. i think i've started the new year with a good day of bowl games roughly once in the last 10 years. Outback Bowl iowa (ML) 3 units to win 3.3. most of my bets tend to be against a team more than they are on a team. and i'm betting against florida...
