A NY Perspective -- Sept 2-6

[scott]

hey nyreb,
Every week last year I would check out your picks, and have already started doing it this year. I love the UNLV pick, as well as the others. I am slowly coming around on the Ole Miss pick, mainly because my roomate is also going big on it. Pretty much everyone outside of Oxford has us underrated. I have seen many people talking about taking the over, however at 57, I do not see our defense giving up more than 17 at the most. My play would be the under, i was just wondering what your lean would be? good luck this weekend and the rest of the year.

E.Michigan / Buffalo these are 2 really bad team's!!!. I got burnt a few time's too many betting on shity team's.


any thoughts on UCLA ?

really diggin' your pic's
GL this season I'll be cotailing

 

[NY Reb]

Tulah, I have UCLA covering in that game.

Here's what we got so far:

Thursday
10* E Mich -6
7* Northwestern +7.5
5* Texas A&M +10

Friday:
5* Washington St pk
(I still like them at -3, but I got them at pk)

Saturday:
10* Ole Miss -3
7* Rutgers +7
7* Oregon St +18.5
5* Vandy +5

Sunday:
7* UNLV +21

Here's a teaser I'm adding for Saturday:
5* Oregon St +25.5, under 55.5

Some of my ratings might have changed since earlier. For example, Northwestern and Rutgers are now 7*s.

College football so far: 3-0 +17*

 

[volfan]

should upgrade unlv, really don't think the vols are that strong.
I am taking the 21 even though we beat the 62-3 ? last time....
but that was a much better team.

GL

 

[NY Reb]

Thanks, Volfan. I always appreciate your input. I am happy that you agree with the play.

Good luck to you this year!

FWIW I specialize in Big 12 and I have already posted UCLA as my Big 12 Play of the Week.

 

[NY Reb]

Thanks, Sun Tzu. I appreciate that info. Respect your opinion a lot.

 

[NY Reb]

I am adding a new game for Saturday:

5* Mississippi St -6.5
The Bulldogs are going to be a much improved team this year. Croom is coaching them with an intensity Sherrill lacked the last couple of years. The team will tell you that they basically didn't care the last part of last season, and you might recall that I faded them in each of those games. I won my GOY against Miss St last year. This year you will see an entirely different team. QB Omarr Conner is starting his first season at his natural position, but he was the Mississippi POY in high school and a prolific offensive leader. He is a talented athlete who can run and throw. He has a talented and experienced OL protecting him, and RB Jerious Norwood was a Parade All-American out of high school. The WRs are adequate, and Tulane has no idea what to expect from Croom's newly installed West Coast offense. The Bulldogs will be salty on defense, led by 300 pound senior DT Ron Fields and 6-4, 295 DE Dejuan Robinson, another former Parade All-American. LBs Marvin Byrdson and Clarence McDougal, as well as safeties Darren Williams and Quinton Culberson, complete the brigade of Parade All-Americans on the team. Needless to say, State is more talented than almost anyone gives them credit for. Tulane, on the other hand, has some key injuries for this game, including talented WR Roydell Williams. Their DL is banged up as well. State is 5-1 SU and ATS in the last 6 vs Tulane, including 3-0 ATS in Starkville. Tulane is 5-11 ATS in their last 16 non-conference games. Miss St should have no problem covering the TD spread in this game, starting off the Croom era with an impressive victory.

 

[s.e.c guru]

dont need to be nit picking but i keep a spread sheet on most of teh handicapper here and i had you having northwetern as a 5 star and not a 7 star unles i missed something

good luck this year.

 

[ajoytoy]

gl on your plays Reb

 

[Rebel21]

SEC Guru...he originally listed his NW as a 5 star but when he posted his final plays he said he upgraded it to a 7 star...see "final plays" above post...look forward to your sec picks this year...i love state and ole miss this weekend...

 

[NY Reb]

Thanks for clarifying, Rebel21.

Good luck to you SEC, and you too, Toy.

Here's how it's going for me so far:

Friday
1-2 -9.5*

YTD: 4-2 +7.5*

Friday
5* Wash St -2

Saturday
10* Ole Miss -3
7* Rutgers +7
7* Oregon St +18.5
5* Vandy +5
5* Miss St -6.5
5* Teaser: Ore St +25.5, under 55.5

Sunday
7* UNLV +21

That's up to date for now, guys. Those who know me know that I am apt to post new games at any time of day or night, especially on a Saturday. I might also have 2nd half plays, but there's no way to know that in advance. Last year I even had a 10* 2nd half play (LSU over Arizona) that won easily.

Here's wishing everyone good luck over the weekend.

 

[NY Reb]

I'm adding a teaser:

5* Teaser: Ole Miss +3, over 39

I'm already on Ole Miss to cover in this game, and there are going to be two potent offenses on the field. There should be plenty of points scored.

Just a sidenote, the team the Memphis passing attack has had the most difficult time with over the past two years is Southern Miss. It just happens that the coach of those Southern Miss secondaries is now the secondary coach at Ole Miss. Also, the Memphis players have been talking a lot of smack. These two schools are only 80 miles apart, and the Ole Miss players are well aware of what has been said. To say they are intensely focused is an understatement. Be careful with touts or cappers who are predicting a repeat of last year's Memphis victory. The Rebels are not likely to lose to these guys in Oxford.

 

[s.e.c guru]

good luck reb.

i like ally your picksexcept 1. although i picked memphis i will be pulling for the ole miss rebels to blowout the smack talking memphis st tigers.

i see ole miss winning with a jonathan nickols(sp.) field goal on the last play of the game. say 30 -28

im waiting on the total to be posted . i will probably post the over in the game depending on what it is

 

[60 SEC ASSASSIN]

[watrdogg]

Good luck with your plays!!!

 

[NY Reb]

Thanks for your kind thoughts, guys.

Picked up a win last with with Wash St.

YTD: 5-2 +12.5*

Adding:
5* Cincinnati +14

I love this teaser, but it won't be in my record:
Rutgers +10
Cincy +18.5
Vandy +10.5
Auburn -29

Hope some of you picked up some of the good lines I posted earlier, such as Rutgers +7 and Vandy +5. Also, remember I might add new games anytime of day or night.

Good luck to all!

 

[NY Reb]

Adding:

5* Notre Dame -5
5* Teaser: Notre Dame +2.5, over 37

Note: You can get a 7.5 point teaser on the same game at Pinnacle.

 

[NY Reb]

7* 2nd half play: Virginia -4.5

 

[NY Reb]

Well, as I figured, Ole Miss is one of the most underrated teams in America. So many plays on Memphis.

My only 10* play of the day: Ole Miss -3.

Will be interesting to see if I'm overrating them. I don't think so.
