2-team ML parlay

Clemson ML -405 over Colorado
Michigan ML -400 over Nebraska


Pays 1-2. For example, risk 2 units to win 1 unit.

I'll lay -200 for each team to win SU. I personally have not wagered on too many bowl games (not much I like) but this sorta jumped out at me. AND I get both games back to back nights. Good action!

Scott.......I teased Baltimore big Sunday night in a 10 pt teaser and had to pick another 2 games............they were Clemson and Michigan......

If Clemson cant beat a high school looking CU team then Bowden should resign and if Michigan and Lloyd Carr loses to Nebraska then that is probably going to haunt him a lot coming off his dissapointments vs Ohio State the past 5 years........Michigan fans are not going to put up with losing to OSU and Nebraska back to back......

1 down 1 to go scott
I think Michigan is one of the hottest teams right now and nebraska hasnt done much this year, but never under estimate the fact that Michigan is DISAPOINTED to be playing in the bowl and Nebraska is EXCITED just to be in a bowl, that is why im not touching this one

Michigan lost their last game, at home, but they are hot right now? They are playing in a bowl they are quit vocally complaining about. On paper they win easily. Alst I checked they haven't played any games on paper yet.

Between Green Bay and Iowa City
O.15 PENN ST. L -3' 27-25
O.22 Iowa-OT W +3 23-20
O.29* Northwestern W -3 33-17
N.12 INDIANA W -25' 41-14
N.19 OHIO ST. L +3 21-25

A 3-3 Michigan team that closed the season in that fashion against opponents with a 37-18 SU record came within possibly one play of closing the season as THE HOTTEST team in the country. Failing to make that one play doesn't cast them way down the pecking order of hot teams, Bowl eligible or otherwise, at the close of November, IMO.

I like it.

I am going to join you with Michigan, and I am going to couple it with G-Tech the following night.

No way Utah wins. They shouldn't even be in a bowl game. I think G-Tech's D will shut them down.

Good luck to us.

Thank you for the facts lost inamerica. SunTzu obviously doesnt look at the numbers. Yes Michigan beat iowa, northwestern and came within a few points of beating OSU and Pen St the #3 and #4 teams in the country. That is why they are 1 of the hottest teams in the country. Could you give me another team besides 1-5 that are hotter?

i'd have to say auburn. 9-1 last 10, with their sole loss a 3 pt decision at lsu. michigan is awful, 3 losses at home is a joke. staying close in games doesn't mean anything. hopefully michigan can get a coach who wants to win and not just hopes not to lose like mr conservative lloyd carr.

This 2-team ML parlay looked easy. Glad I jumped on it. It also makes me feel good that I would have lost on CLEMSON -10 (or higher) but won on CLEMSON ML! Tonight I will settle for a 20pt Michigan win! Not hedging this bet!

I liked Clemson because I felt CO was $hit team who ended season getting blown out by Nebraska (rival) and Texas (big 12 championship). Also you get senior QB Clemson vs 2nd string QB from CO. I loved that matchup.

Tonight I like Michigan because they simply are the better team. Nebraska isn't a good team. Michigan is from one of the best conf. in CFB and Big 12 is one of the worst BCS conf. Big deal Nebraska blew out CO to end the year. Not so special.

maverick2112 you and I each have 1 more game to go! :clap: I rarely if ever do 3-team parlays or 3-team teasers. I usually get screwed on the 3rd game. But I love making these supposedly "safe" bets. 2-team ML -400 parlays.

Yes that is a concern of mine as well. Michigan is a team who will play flat if not motivated.

:cry: THAT SUX! :cry:

I shouldn't have lost this bet. I originally was going to put $400 to win $100 on Clemson ML. Then I thought that was too much vig, and I liked Michigan to win SU so I parlayed both. $300 to win $155. Michigan fawked me! :cursin:

How selfish was that last dude. He had 2 Michigan players behind him, PITCH the ball back and its an easy TD. What an a$$hole. Screw Michigan and giving the game away. I was thinking about taking Nebraska +7 2h for $150 at Betcris. When line changed to +6.5 I said forget it. Bad move! I hesitated. But when Michigan was up 11 with the ball in 4th I was feeling good! :)

I am pissed and going to double up to catch up. I can't stand losing a bet that way. Much rather have Nebrask blow out Michigan and me lose. G-Tech ML -320. $960 to win $300. Now I got some good action tom.! :scared

Unfortunately, G-Tech is a team I hate betting on. They will find a way to screw up, worse than Michigan. :mj07: Utah isn't very good and have some key injuries. Hopefully it doesn't rain.

I will easily agree with you with auburn. I think another hot team right now is Louisville playing with alot of confidence despite having a banged up qb. Still like va tech though
