CFB YTD +19.3 Units


Took a dip in units over the past few weeks in CFB and NFL - ready to get it going again today

Starting with a 10 Unit play in the ACC Championship and will have my CFB GOY later this evening

10 Units GA TECH -1.5

WF has been through the gauntlet lately and has performed valiantly to get to this game today - big W on the road last week vs Maryland following a 6 game stretch that included FSU, CLEM, VT, BC, and both Carolina schools on the road - impressively conquered 4 of those challenges, but I think that some of the wear and tear associated with a run like that will show up today - GT rush def is strong and I'm not sure WF will be able to beat them through the air - boils down to a class edge for GT IMO and I look for a 10 point win

Back in a little bit with my CFB GOY

Adding:

5 Units STAN +30

I know STAN is bad, but what does CAL have to play for in this one? Their postseason is set after another disappointing loss to USC, and all dreams of a PAC 10 title and BCS bowl game are gone

5 Units UCLA - will most likely try to buy to 14 at some point, thinking it will probably cost -130 in a bit

UCLA with a week off to prepare for the game - USC off of ORE/CAL/ND and I think its hard to get all the way up week after week after week - many in the public already discussing lines for OSU/USC NC game, I say is this not a winnable game for UCLA? If Ore St can get them at home then why not the Bruins? Not saying UCLA will get the outright but I believe this will at least be a competitive game - may add more Units to this play if I can spend less on the buy

GOY:

Where to start - this is a game that people have been talking about for a few weeks now - immediately after RU beat UL talk of RU being undefeated and what would that mean in terms of the BCS - media ate it up, but let us know that we didn't have to worry about it b/c WVU loomed at the end of the schedule - many, myself included, realized that RU's 1st loss would most likely come well before that in the CINN game - and many didn't see the USF loss coming for the 'Neers

So the complexion of this game has changed tremendously since that time - RU playing for BCS shot while WVU playing mostly for pride - add to that the reports that HC Rodriguez will bolt to coach BAMA next season, the turf toe injury that is reportedly still plaguing White, and what looks to be a less-than 100% Slaton (although Slaton at 85% is better than most at 110) and this game seems like one that RU can definitely win

Don't feel like the line is very accurate at all and feel like the rise to 10 has a little something to do with people's thoughts about this game 4 weeks ago - I have the utmost confidence that Schiano will have the Knights ready and I believe that RU will be making a trip to a BCS bowl after they win in Morgantown today - big days for Rice and Leonard


15 Units RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS +10

Nice job, Burns. GaTech was tough to watch. Reggie Ball is a joke. Rut had every opportunity to win.

Nice day, but could have been a banner day.

Thanks CIE - wide open receivers dropping passes have plagued me in my last few losses - Townsend's drop in the End Zone for RU could have ostensibly put the game away as I'm not sure WVU could have scored a TD in the last couple of minutes - was hard enough for them to get the tying FG - couple of tough drops by GT as well, and still pissed off about Roddy White......

Anyway - +9 Units for Saturday - +28.3 Units YTD
