    I'm thinking I like Texas laying 3. Hoping to see it drop more and more flip to the ML if it gets low enough. Although I'm wrong every time I bet for or against Oklahoma State.

    @IDFjet @Lon Chaney - any CFB thoughts today?

    I think I'm Nebraska again hoping the number comes down from 4.

    Auburn +4? - Arkansas after the hangover of a crushing loss?

    Vegas loves the number 4 today MSU is at the same toll.

    I'm high confidence on Nebraska although I don't follow them closely so maybe something important has happened like an injury in the last week. I have them at -185 ML in parlays--don't care to give the points.

    I'm rooting for Auburn but very tough game. I'd go ML with them if I wanted to bet it which I don't.

    The 'bama halftime line at -10.5 looks like a winner as does the -300 that 'bama wins the first quarter.

    I think LSU keeps it close today and maybe UCONN gets its first win at home against Yale at nice odds.

    Here's another one to look at - Virginia Tech and Pitt are a game apart with a comparable resume... VT is 6.5 point dogs IN Blacksburg. It's not a night game so it's def a different environment, but still.

    Pitt does have the far better QB play and offense in general but I'm not sure that this should be this high. I'd imagine Pickett could be as high as a 3rd round pick.

    Also adding @Lon Chaney in.. we should maybe start to look at Georgia first halves. I didn't look any of em up officially but using CBS and looking at the game speeds and figuring the first half spreads we're about 5/8ths of that - it looks like they're 6-0 against the first half number.

    I'm not sure we know how good Kentucky is yet so I like taking the points.

    Ya--I had VT +175 in a parlay with Nebraska. It shot up to +200 this morn and I cashed out at .88 cents on the dollar--There was some kind of set of rules that were put in a day or so ago about fan behavior at VT so I think that's what happened. They're going to keep kids out of the stands or something like that. But its def nice odds for a VT home game.

    As I said in previous post, we really don't know how good KY is yet so I'm nervous about giving too many points even at halftime. But I really like your thinking on that.

    College Football is something I don't want to bet on after losing all my money to Alabama last week but I will follow your ticket and root for your win.

    @IDFjet @Jonathan_Vilma

    You guys post your most important bets so I follow them as well :)

    Really? Interesting.

    By the way, whether they cover or not (looks good so far), thanks for convincing me that Bo Nix isn't the worst player to ever play and not to consistently fade Auburn because of it. They're dominating Arkansas right now.

    I'd probably bet against Auburn every week if you didn't prove he's alright two weeks ago.

    I tailed LSU +12.5 at the last second as well.

    haha--nice on LSU. Re: Nix--he looks like he's turned a corner although I heard he threw a bad int in the 2nd q--was having lunch at the time.

    Disgusting Hail Mary to give up by LSU. I'm gonna leave the Auburn game off because every time I turn it on they struggle lol.

    Adrian Martinez fucking sucks man. Frost does as well. Kick the damn ball on the goal line or don't hand it to a true freshman runningback.

    2 batted balls on back to back 3rd + 4th downs.

    What you got baseball wise in Astros/Sox today man? You got the hot hand. I'm leaning Astros. I like Eovaldi in giving length with both battered bullpens over Garcia but I have a hard time betting against the 8 deep Astros lineup versus the 5 deep Sox lineup.

    Guys

    I know you don't do soccer but I just threw $50 on PSV Eindhoven (Dutch Eredivise Soccer) to win the game they are down 0-1. It is at -120.

    They are at home against the worst team in the league and there is no way they will not win after shooting 16 times.

    Play at your own risk.

    You'd never owe me any money. But I threw $50 at it as well and saw them down 1-0 at the 79 min mark then suddenly 3-1 when I checked again. Great call man!

    Sounds like you rolled without your wife's approval on that one. Bold move. ;)
