    Invite your son to post. We suck at betting and could use some of his picks

    People say "let down game" but I doubt it. This Cincy team is legit and national tv, wanting to make a statement, means fireworks early.

    I like the -30 for the game but if they pull starters late that could get backdoored

    I got $50 allowance for the weekend from the wife. Do I throw it all on Alabama first half? If I lose, who will lend me some money for NFL Sunday my biggest fun? :)

    I backed out because of the potential rain but you keep convincing me. They do need as many statement games as possible though since the rest of their schedule is dogshit.

    I desperately want to see them in the CFB Playoff. With no dominant Clemson or Ohio State teams
    and the Pac-12 being a mess, this is the year.

    I dont think Cincy is going to win the national championship. But you can get awesome play on them in a futures bet. I put a little last week before they beat ND and it was like +6000 or something, teams like Texas had shorter odds, which is weird. I think its a decent longshot bet

    Put $50 on Bama first half.

    If it loses, I will put a $50 bet on my account for you on Sunday. I'll Venmo you when you win.

    This is why I love this thread. Nope. You got no obligation. :)

    All my money ($45) on Alabama to cover -11 for $84.13

    If I lose, I will pass on Sunday NFL and go for a walk :)

    He gave me this one: buyer beware:

    Jets ML
    Vikings ML
    Charger/Browns Under

    I hate betting the Jets but he feels really good about them winning. As far as far as the under he says that Baker is playing hurt and the Browns D has been playing really well. Personally I hate betting o/u.

    Last night he won with Seattle/LA under, Rays and Astros. Bet $100 and won $400+.

    He seems to be too smart. If I win the Alabama bet I am putting his picks on a $10 parlay. :)

    He's up $2k this betting season but he does get 'em wrong. But his hits outweigh the misses. I'm going to ride that shit until my bankroll is gone

    Yep CBS is deceiving. It's less than 20% now. I picked up the Astros ML for 2U this afternoon so I'm in. Let's ride.

    Food for thought on this..

    Multiple sportsbooks stand to lose more than $1 million if San Francisco Giants win World Series

    I've actually liked the Brewers and that staff/bullpen but I never pulled the trigger because the odds weren't as good as I wanted them to be.

    Gonna check into this a little more before kickoff but Elijah Moore over 25.5 yards is screaming a play for me and possibly any time scorer at +290

    Moore yards/receptions are not available on Bovada right now.

    I see Michael Carter is at his highest o/u at 44.5 rushing. Any opinion?

    I don't really like that much. I would try and see if you can get his O/U receptions OR total yards (rush/rec). I need to double check my source [heard it on the radio from one of those betting segments on ESPN radio], but Atlanta is supposedly allowing 8 receptions/game to RBs? Pretty crazy stat considering Atlanta's opponents have never really been in a negative game script so it isn't like the RBs are being check down options in garbage time.

    EDIT - I see his rushing + receiving yard total is 56.5. That's must more intriguing to me and his O/U is 1.5 receptions which will most likely be a play for me if that stat above checks out.
    Carter's usage over the last 4 weeks [keep in mind Coleman didn't play week 3]

    I'm not sure if anyone here plays craps but I view all of those bets as prop bets....hard six, etc. I avoid them like the plague.
