might want to fix that.
i'm taking the home teams in that top slate.
November 17th, 2017 at 10:25 PM ^
Virginia +19.5 (Miami let down for an early game)
West Virginia -3 (still a shot to make BIG 12 title game, I believe)
Kentucky +21.5
Oregon -3 (only because it seems like a fishy line)
Vandy +8

On 7.5 points
Michigan, maryland, ucla all finish inside the spreads.
November 17th, 2017 at 11:25 PM ^
Is probably a solid bet. I know the line seems ridiculous but I guarantee that Urban is on a mission to blow illinois out of the stadium (however tasteless that may be). I split 200$ between OSU-41 and MSU-15... Betting on our rivals baby!
** I actually bought a half of a point on each bet. Oh, and Sparty will win by 24 points, so that's easy money (I think that 15 point spread is the most attractive line of the weekend)

I like Tennessee to cover the +15.5 against LSU. Ol’ Brady’s a solid short-term turnaround coach, interims usually have some magic their first few games, and LSU is mediocre at best.
November 17th, 2017 at 11:36 PM ^
Then I remembered that Hoke is just as likely to get beat by 30
November 17th, 2017 at 11:40 PM ^
NC St +1.5
Michigan +7.5
UCLA +16
UMass +4.5
Cincy - ECU OVER 75
LSU - Tenn OVER 45
Va Tech -16
Interested in UVA - Miami. I hope UVA wins but if not I think they'll cover the 19 point spread.

Not going to bet on it, but I am real stuck on that in terms of who to pick in my espn college pick 'em contest. I like NC St this season, but Wake Forest has got a great coach with a great track-record in 2nd half adjustments. Will just do it at a one point confidence point.
November 18th, 2017 at 12:06 AM ^
NC St is a good team with some bad beats this season. I have a gut feeling they'll make things right at Wake on Saturday.
November 18th, 2017 at 12:02 AM ^
To each their own. I see at least one very risky bet on your list. Namely, LSU/Tenn over45
November 18th, 2017 at 12:05 AM ^
46-0 LSU. Book it.
November 18th, 2017 at 12:10 AM ^
That almost makes sense! Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if your Nostradamus prediction comes to pass
November 17th, 2017 at 11:48 PM ^
Michigan will win against every team bar none
November 18th, 2017 at 12:02 AM ^
Is exactly why it's never smart to bet on teams that you're passionate about.
November 18th, 2017 at 12:08 AM ^
They will challenge ever team and beat them
Also I'm drubk
November 18th, 2017 at 12:14 AM ^
Me too.
Picked up 2 sixers of citra Noel holiday ale made by CBC... It was brewed in a shitty city but it turned out pretty good. Heavy on the citrus hops and caramel malts with a 7.5ish abv. If you like hoppy reds - try this one
November 18th, 2017 at 12:03 AM ^
Anyone who faded Florida the entire season would be a rich man right now. They are giving 10.5 to UAB.
November 18th, 2017 at 12:08 AM ^
I almost pulled the trigger on betting that Florida wouldn't get to six wins this season. I watched them fairly often towards the end of last season and came away thinking that they may have literally fielded the worst offense that I've ever personally watched in D1 football. I don't know how they can be that bad while residing in such a talent rich recruiting region
November 18th, 2017 at 12:24 AM ^
Exactly it's tough to imagine a name-brand being so terrible even though by the eye test they were abominable. It's always in the back of your head that they gotta turn it around at some point. Kind of like 2014 Michigan, except even worse. I imagine that bet would've voided though due to the cancelled game early in the season.
November 18th, 2017 at 5:50 AM ^
to cover and UNDER M vs W.
November 18th, 2017 at 8:13 AM ^
Here’s a good nugget:
The Over is 13-2 in the last 15 Michigan games with a total under 50.
The Over is 8-1 in the last 9 Wisconsin games with a total under 50.
November 18th, 2017 at 9:42 AM ^
Like Ohio State to cover, also like them to go over their team total of 47.
Like MSU to stay under 29.5 team total.
Michigan hasn't given up 21 to anyone besides Penn St. Like us to keep Wisconsin under 24.
