Please post your weekend bets, what you're thinking of betting, or whatever to do with betting for the weekend's slate of games.  I'll start (all lines are from when they were placed):

TCU at Baylor, 12pm:  Baylor +3

Wisconsin at Nebraska, 12pm:  Nebraska +10.5

Texas at Kansas,  3:30pm:  Kansas +9

Stanford at Cal, 5:30pm:  Cal -4

Texas Tech at Iowa St, 7pm:  Iowa St -3.5

Oklahoma St at Oklahoma , 7:30pm:  Oklahoma -7

USC at UCLA, 8pm: UCLA +2.5

UAB at LSU, 9pm: LSU -14

San Jose St at Utah St, 9:45pm: Utah St +1

UM has actually been pretty good against the spread this year (6-3-1 per BetMGM), and the ones they didn’t cover were at least 3 score spreads (Hawaii +53.5 missed by 7.5, Maryland +23.5 by 16.5, and Indiana +23.5 by 2.5) that were never really in doubt as wins.  Given that, a 17.5 point spread against Illinois feels very reachable when UM will likely take away what Illinois does on offense and will pound the ball on Illinois and turn possessions into points with regularity.

This week, I decided to do a 6 game parlay and round robin on all the B1G games (except the Ill v UM game) by just taking the under.

the straight parlay pays $46.41 on the $1 bet.  The round robins will pay between 3:1 and 4:1 on smaller bets.  I’m hoping the weather will play a large role in keeping the scores down this week.

I work at Lafayette. We play Lehigh tomorrow. Both teams stink. Both have a hard time scoring. But Lafayette is on the come up. Freezing temps for the game tomorrow. I'm taking Lafayette -5 and the under. Other than that...I think Illinois covers the -17.5. And UCLA ML.

would love KY over GA… but..

South Carolina over TN, a bonus, but quite unlikely.

Indiana over the Spartans.. one can dream…

Terps over Nuts… an even nicer dream.

Kaos in the West, because Kaos is great ( and an arch enemy)

UCLA over USC because both fans in the Rose Bowl will appreciate it.
 

I like 42 - 27…
