    jacksonville st @ samford

    jax st -9: on paper this one doesn't look close. these two birmingham schools use to be rivals back in the day when they were both old socon members. since then, under coach ray harper jax st has moved on to become one of the top teams in the ohio valley conference, and is picked to finish third...

    nor'easter and heinz field

    some of you local guys can help us out on this, but it looks like its a steady rain today in the pittsburgh area, and i seem to recall that heinz field doesn't hold up too well in wet weather. duke @ pitt total is still at 45- which seems like a playable under. also this a 3:30 game and i'm...

    miami @ boston college random thoughts

    intriguing matchup tonight for my second alma mater miami huricanes. this line opened up at miami -1- and went almost immediatly to -3, and has bounced between 3 and 4 since, in spite of the fact that the eagles have been one of the most popular public dogs all week. both teams are off the bye...

    check out this cfb system

    this system is not mine, i discovered it a couple of years ago at another forum and it has been a moneymaker every year i have played it. i posted the system here last year, but unfortunately my posting has dropped off and i neglected to get it up this year but it still has two more weeks in...

    thursday early games

    by way of review, oregon blew out cetral arkansas in the 1st half as expected but coasted in the 2nd half for the noncover. don't keep a record except in my account , that's why i detail the reasoning for my pick, so followers can see my decision making process. i think i'm 7-4-1 with posted...

    c arkansas @ oregon

    oregon -20: central arkansas has been turning some heads lately. they flew into los angeles a month ago and gave a pretty good ucla team a scare before bowing 106-101 in ot. they returned to california the 1st weekend of december and lost to san francisco by 2 before blowing out cal in...

    here's a play that NO ONE will like . . .

    akron +22-: this is as ugly as betting real money gets (i know, i know, i have a morbid fascination with these games) but hear me out. the state of florida is chuck "the chest" amato country. chucky lives on after his fsu and nc state days heading up akron's defense. after spending close to two...

    charlotte @ ecu

    ecu -3-: some long tine madjackers recall that i like to go slumming with my plays from time to time, and this one's right from the cellar. this line rates these two teams equal but i don't believe that for a minute. i'm posting this now assuming it will rise later. i'll be back with more.

    ut-chattanooga @ tennessee tech

    tennessee tech -5: just a few short years ago, the utc moccasins (another one of my favorite nicknames) were one of the perennial powers in the southern conference. but that was then and this is now, and this year first year coach lamont paris is in serious rebuilding mode, fielding the youngest...

    texas southern @ baylor

    texas southern +20: meet the tigers of texas southern, currently a jaw-dropping 0-9 but #1 in the country in one category of significance - strength of schedule. thus far they have lost to the likes of gonzaga, ohio state, syracuse, kansas, clemson and oregon. think that's a tall order for any...

    jacksonville st @ oregon st

    jacksonville st +6-: i believe the early line jump unjustified and based on market perception. fact is, these are two fairly equal (jsu #96 osu #110), well balanced teams. both have had good results against relatively soft schedules. the one glaring difference between the two is that the...

    tennessee tech @ c michigan

    c michigan -5: speaking of 3 game road trips, this afternoon finds tennessee tech rolling into mt pleasant for their third road game of the week. tech golden eagles are a middle of the road ohio valley conference (ovc) team that caught some attention when they started the season 7-1. however, a...

    samford @ clemson

    clemson -17: with this pick we stay focused on the bulldog's 3 game road trip this week. on sunday samford walked through a 31 point loss to old rival jacksonville state, preferring to focus on tuesday's game against memphis and bulldog coach padgett's old coach tubby smith. samford played their...

    elon @ unc-g

    elon +6: opening line moved up a point with early speculators so i'll buy in now. these two schools sit a few miles apart in the greensboro/burlington/highpoint triad area of north carolina and were basketball rivals for several years in the southern conference until elon bolted for the more...

    samford @ memphis

    samford +8-: i put this play in early when i saw early action push the line down a half point, but i admit there are a lot of moving parts here. we just faded samford sunday afternoon, after seeing a samford that was floundering early in the season headed back to a motivated old rival in...

    appalachian state @ western carolina

    w car +6: been watching this line climb all day and now it looks like we've wrung all the value out we can. appalachian state is a mediocre team picked to finish next to last in the sun belt preseason polls, but is getting to little too much credit here because they have winning record so far...

    samford @ jacksonville st

    jacksonville st -8-: two old conference rivals meet up in today's pick, though now jacksonville st plays in the ovc and samford remains in the socon. jacksonville state is an experienced, up-tempo team with two losses, by 3 @ #61 miss st and by 5 @ #135 buffalo. samford has two wins, both @...

    mia o @ ball state

    okay, okay, so i'm off this week and bored, and when those things happen my mind works in convoluted ways. that's about the only way i would ever think about betting this game, but i just put in ball st +17- and under 56. wait, before you run away clutching your wallet and screaming, hear me...
