Week 8 Plays....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

LW ATS 10-7 (59%) (+2.30 u)
LW ML's 1-4 (20%) (-1.55 u)

YTD ATS 59-42 (58%) (+12.80 u)
ML Plays (all dogs) 12-13 (48%) (+9.12 u)

MISC (1 scalp, 1 teaser, 1 (10 to 1) parlay, 1 HT bet) (+0.90 u)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total YTD +22.82 u


...damn ML plays didn't fair so well this week. Should have cashed L'ville...did cash Wisky, but the 2 PAC 10 teams and Hawaii weren't even close!!! I know better than to take shots at the PAC 10, which is far from my best conference. :cursin:


...had a few lines move against me LW, so I'm not going to make too many early plays...if I make any at all. I want to wait and see where the concensus numbers are and where the lines move. That Tennessee/Ole Miss line was a dead give away last week. :rolleyes:

...let's see if we can't find some gems for this weekend. Be back later in the week with a few plays... GL out there this week, fellas. :)

...said I wasn't going to make any early plays this week, but while reviewing my notes, I noticed a couple of things....

...around this time every year I usually begin a progressive fade either against teams that have covered in every game or for teams that have not covered in any game.... I was asleep at the wheel last week when we should have cashed in on both Clemson (who had not covered a single game and covered LW against Utah St.) and Ariz St (who had covered every game and got bitch slapped by USC).... I simply had not completed all of my homework for last week.... :cursin:

...well, the notes say that there's only one team left that fits in this criteria.... Yep, I'm going to start a progressive fade against L'ville this week. :scared

...by my notes, So. Fl has covered only one game this season...by upsetting TCU as an 11' point dog. L'ville has covered in each of their respective contests this season and I was on them as they almost beat Miami LW in the Orange Bowl. (Damn ML should have cashed in if it weren't for the QB's concussion....)

...thinking that L'ville is: 1.) Very disappointed at their late loss in Miami and 2.) Overlooking So. Fl as they have Memphis on deck....

..these teams have only met once and LY So. Fl won in double OT 31-28. Next season both of them will join the Big East.... Additional worthless fact: This will only be the 2nd time that So. Fl has played on National TV...for whatever that's worth. LOL

...therefore, for the first play of the week, I'm taking a pathetic So. Fl +30. :eek: :shocked:

...if this one goes down, you can go ahead and book me on Memphis next week for a double shot. :)

GL out there fellas.


edit: throw in the fact that almost 80% of all bettors are already on L'ville and I feel a little better about taking this "dirty dawg." :)

Taoist I have something to tell you: ROLL TIDE ROLL

I might as well say it now because I doubt I will be able to after the game. And yes I will be attending like I have every year since 1982 when I was a wee 4 years old. :clap: :142lmao:

bama, glad to see ya around.... You been a little absent this season.... That last year of law school is a bitch, huh? ...just wait until the bar exam, brother. LOL :142lmao:

I will be there this year, as always. We need to get together and have a beer before the game...because after the game I'll be celebrating and you'll be comiserating with your fellow "toliet paper on a stick holders." :sadwave: :cursin: :scared :moon:

Get my e-mail from Jack and drop me a line this week, buddy. I'll be up there with the little lady, so I'll be on relatively good behavior.... :rolleyes: :)

...and if you're feeling frisky, we can make a ballcap wager on the game while we're at it. I've already sent a couple of lidz to some Auburn boys...and need a little shot at redemption. LOL :poke

...here's what ya'll have got coming this year in Knoxvegas.... ------------------> :nutkick

Taoist,
:iagree:
Really like the So Fla play, I think I may double it up.

The DB that intercepted 2 last week for TN got arrested and suspended indefinitely because of some gun incident. Also got a back-up D player kicked off the team completely.

:topic:

Have you been to the Red Iguana up there. It's on South Central. They are one of my clients so I wanted to know your opinion. Its a different kind of club. Its the first one in a chain if it works. Its where Banana Joes was located 2 bars ago. Its owned by the same people that own that chain. Just wondering.

Taoist,

I still lurk and post rarely. I will be at the Longrbranch Saloon on Cumberland at the strip before the game. We always drink there since it is usually not that crowded.

Also, I graduated law school. I am getting an LLM in taxation down at UF (man I hate it here). I took the Alabama bar in July and found out I passed on September 30th. So I am now officially an attorney. Scary hugh. :142lmao:

Remind me and I will send you my cell #. You send me yours. You have my email because you sent me the Fruitcake lady email. You should be able to find it considering my screen name here is the same as my email address.

I will talk to you later and I will take up the cap bet. I am quite sure I will be the one doing the buying. :sadwave:

The Tide will roll this Sat. with defense and a big dose of #34. I will take the win to O'Charley's on the strip. If it was anything like it was 2 years ago when we beat them Bama fans will be the only one on the strip after the game.
