For some reason took Duke ML on a live bet for about even money.
Bought 0.5 point to get maryland +7
Two hearted being consumed
Mgoradio playing during the commercial breaks
Where is the drinking thread?
September 27th, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
Got a cold Two Hearted as well. Bless you my son.
September 27th, 2019 at 7:55 PM ^
Bells Official pretty good low cost hazy ipa.
September 27th, 2019 at 8:30 PM ^
Yeah definitely solid as far as the hazy's go. When are we getting more double hearteds!?
September 27th, 2019 at 8:31 PM ^
I try other beers just to remind myself how good two hearted is.
September 27th, 2019 at 9:26 PM ^
I gave up searching...it’s just the best!
September 27th, 2019 at 10:11 PM ^
I am not quite certain that the 0.5 point will matter
But I am in the same boat. Took MD plus the points, Duke on the moneyline.
September 27th, 2019 at 7:47 PM ^
Notre Dame over by a lot.
September 27th, 2019 at 8:04 PM ^
Interesting line movement on that, Opened at 11 and then was sitting around -12.5 a good chunk of the week including this morning, and now back down to 11. Didn't think it would go back down of all things. I guess the 11-12.5 range is pretty much "dead numbers" though , especially in college football.
September 27th, 2019 at 8:07 PM ^
Ohio State has a defense this year, they will cover the 17 against Nebraska EZ. . .
Mississippi will score just enough with the +38 to beat the spread vs Alabama. . .
NU +24.5 over Wisconsin. . .
Rutgers +27.5 over Michigan, just don't see this dysfunctional offense scoring enough, and the defense usually gives up one or two big plays to Rutgers, whether on a run or kick return. And the game could be even tighter if Patterson hobbles off the field and Milton has to play significant minutes.
September 27th, 2019 at 10:12 PM ^
I like Alabama to cover. Saban covers when he wants to, and he loves running it up on Ole Miss.
I like your other picks.
September 27th, 2019 at 8:17 PM ^
I'll be betting on dat ass
September 27th, 2019 at 8:25 PM ^
Yeeesh, not a good start for my Maryland bet ...
edit: maybe shoulda tried to find a Maryland +75 line . Holy shit ..
September 27th, 2019 at 8:32 PM ^
I don't like betting on teams that are favored by a lot, because you don't know when the coach is going to call of the dogs, who he wants to get reps for, etc.
That said, I think the talent differential between Ohio State and Nebraska is enormous. I think the spread is artifically low because of Ohio State's losses in road night games to Purdue and Iowa, which I don't see being a problem Day's first time: I have to think they're hyper-aware and are going to pull out all the stops to make sure the game isn't close enough for the players to start doubting themselves late. If this type of game is going to bite them, I think it's much more likely to be vs. Northwestern if they've continued laying waste to everyone in their path to that point.
So if I was forced to bet on a game this weekend, I'd take Ohio State to cover. I wouldn't touch the Michigan game with a 10-foot pole-- too many variables, like how important Harbaugh thinks it is to send a message to the players, how much they want to rep basic plays instead of winning on clever schemes, etc.
September 27th, 2019 at 10:10 PM ^
I agree with you, but I don't see 16.5 as a lot of points. My biggest concern is a late backdoor cover, and if Ohio State is as good as we think they are, I don't foresee that being an issue. I think it's going to be a blowout. Great atmosphere, and a Nebraska team that I think sucks.
September 27th, 2019 at 10:17 PM ^
Only thing that has me hedging on Ohio State is that Nebraska has fumbled a ton this year -- even more than Michigan -- and they are due to clean it up, thus are probably a little better than they've shown. They could score a bit, I'm sure Frost will have some scripted stuff to test the revamped OSU defense. And there's a shot that if Day/Fields get into a battle in a hostile environment, there could be some deer-in-headlights moments.
September 27th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
OSU will obliterate Nebraska.
BPONE says MSU and ND also cover while we don’t
September 27th, 2019 at 8:58 PM ^
Here are mine:
Dook
Cal ML tonight
Oklahoma 1st half
Washington
BC
Kentucky
Houston
Wazzou
Sunday do a two team 6.5 point teaser. Tease the Pats down to -.5 and the Seahawks with them.
September 27th, 2019 at 9:14 PM ^
Like the BC pick . Definitely one of I’ve thought about about putting a bet down down at them +6.5
September 27th, 2019 at 9:00 PM ^

1 unit a piece, I'm 22-14-1 so far on the season, and I feel good about how little thought I put into my picks this week.
September 27th, 2019 at 11:06 PM ^
Nice job so far and good luck with your bets moving forward ! I am really intrigued by how that Iowa St vs Baylor game plays out tomorrow . One of the best games on the card for college football junkies IMO
September 27th, 2019 at 11:12 PM ^
I like Matt Rhule a bit, and I just said screw it and went with a home dog.
September 27th, 2019 at 10:43 PM ^
Got some live action on Duke -4.5, lol. Also put a live action bet on PSU -40.5 when they were up 38-0. MD offense can simply not move forward.
September 27th, 2019 at 10:45 PM ^
Gotta mention I put a live bet on SJS +400 when they scored the first TD. Whoops, hahaha.
September 27th, 2019 at 11:07 PM ^
Looks like your live bet for the PSU game is gonna turn out as a winner too . Why would anyone have ever bet Maryland plus 7?!?! ;)
September 27th, 2019 at 11:37 PM ^
It's funny how that line looks unbelievable in retrospect. The way I feel about those two teams now, I should have put up the farm.
September 27th, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
Northwestern +24.5 best play of the noon slate.
Go Blue!!
September 28th, 2019 at 3:25 AM ^
Got the backdoor cover of SJSU +19.5 + PSU -7
Also have ND -11 + OSU -17
UConn +44 + Hawaii +2.5
Pretty much only parlay college football for some reason.
September 28th, 2019 at 5:47 AM ^
3-1 on the year
OSU -17.5
stanford -3
NU + 25
indiana +14
ole mis + 38.5
