I’m not gambling right now but I watch a shit ton of football… but fucj I wish I woulda put money on the Texas state, Sam Houston state and Houston.
I still love Indiana and Michigan too

So glad I stayed away from the Friday night games. I can't figure out both Houston and TCU. Theh S following is what I'm going with.
Navy -9 Air Force
Clemson -15 Florida State
South Alabama -3 Arkansas State
Iowa State -11 Baylor
South Carolina +9 Ole Miss
Toledo -6.5 Miami-Ohio
Wisky/Purdue U 47

I was all over the Texas teams…
Texas state Sam Houston and Houston
But my heart just wants the Husker win

I lived in Highland Village until July (moved to Florida) and my TCU goons were very excited for the season. My Hard Rock account took a beating tonight.
Before Fort Worth I lived across lake lewisville from there..
I’m pretty tied into TCU in different ways and root for them.
I think we'd all be hard pressed to be much above .500 with that many games.
You thought about taking all double digit dogs to cover and all single digit favorites to cover, or vise versa?
What does that result look like, cause I haven't looked yet?
**Edited**
I might mess around with something like that today just for the heck of it.
I bet there's something there.

I’m not sure what that would look like. I think I’m gonna do one more week, since I’m still basically even.
I'll mess around with all those games from this weekend to see IF there is a way for the overall percentage to be raised.
It looks like you and I are dealing with a few differentials on the spread, maybe a 1/2 or 1 pt diff, but I'll use your spreads to see what I can come up with.
I'm always a sucker for trying something contrarian. LOL
Any idea what your record would if you took the points for every game? I’ve always heard amateur public preferentially bets favorites…definitely true with me and I’m a little under .500 the last couple of years. Just curious how it would actually play out to take every underdog
Edit: I didn’t see the question from the above poster that was of the same vein although a different strategy
I'm in the process of doing what I posted earlier, but your question will be answered by whatever results I get, and I'll post them, then we'll all know.
I wrote all the results down, and changed the spread on my sheet to match your spreads and came up with this as a total:
Double digit underdogs that covered 12, double digit underdogs that did cover were 14.
Single digit favorites that did cover were 14, single digit favorites that did not cover 8.
There was one push, so the total was all 49 games.
So, after the fact, if a guy took double digit underdogs to cover and single digit favorites to cover you could finish 28-20-1.
Double digit underdogs covered at home 9 times, failed to cover 6 times, (60%);
Double digit underdogs covered on the road 6 times, failed to cover 4 times, (60%);
Single digit favorties covered at home 9 times, failed to cover 6 times, (60%);
Single digit favorites covered on the road 3 times, failed to cover 5 times, (37.5%).
{{This would include the road surprises for both Bama and Tennessee}}
No surprise, the best results are at home in either case.
I went 8-5, but I still lost cuz South Carolina fked me in two parlays. Never going with them cocks again, and I mean that figuratively.
I made my picks on Monday, so that may account for the fluctuation in lines.
2‐0 again this week.
Marshall over app state
Florida over ucf
4 ‐0 since I started posting my picks in here.
Not as good beforehand. Maybe I found my wishing well !

I like mine better, but yes. I will make the edit
UCLA at 1-4 record and despite not covering Week 1 v. Hawaii, has now (edited) covered 4 straight games ATS against good teams like Indiana, LSU, Oregon and Penn State, combined 20-1 records. (edit. I originally mistype not instead of now). Corrected.)
Kent State is avg 14.8 ppg and giving up 42.0 ppg and Ball State is averaging 25.0 ppg
and giving up 48.2 ppg. A real battle of juggernauts.
West Virginia averaging 33 ppg and Iowa State allowing only 10 ppg.
Looks like Mississippi's early schedule of Furman, Middle Tennessee, Wake Forest, Ga Southern did not have this team ready for good competition as they were then beaten at home by Kentucky, then rebounded with a good road win against South Carolina. With OU and GA still on the schedule, this game likely determines Ole Miss' postseason prospects.
You wouldn't think in a huge rivalry game like this Texas would look past OU, but the Horns do play Georgia next week in a huge game. Funny thing is, the week after their GA game, the Horns travel to giant killer Vandy the next week. LOL
kong, none of this is meant to sway you or anyone else, just some fun reading material.

my west virginia pick is based solely on these uniforms
and that MAC game, man. ball st shouldn't be favored by 6.5 on the road against a high school team.
UCLA plays really hard for their coach. they just don't have the horses.
Okay, I like the underdogs in the big games this weekend and Pitt.
Pitt -3, Cal coming of tough loss to the U and their third long trip of the season so far.
USC +4.5 USC is a different animal at home and Sandusky St hasn't shown a ton of offense this offense this year outside of the Kent St. game
Oklahoma +14.5 Lot of points for a rivalry game, think OU gets a back door cover
Oregon +3 Gabriel hasn't play great this year so far, but this is the first team with an offense that may push OSU a bit.
LSU +3.5 LSU at home at night is tough, plus is see Dart having 1 or 2 turnovers

You want free money?
Wisconsin first quarter getting .5 vs Rutgers. Lock city.
Plus, after you hit that, you can take the live line on Wisconsin and win even more.
I also love Wash/Iowa over 42. That game has 28 to 24.5 written all over for a sweet half point cover.

Teams like Boise, Ball St., Vandy and Navy are 20-0 to hit the OVERS at this point in the season.
I like Ohio state to cover
I also lean USC with the points…
Living in Texas I would never ever ever bet the Texas-OU game… it’s been the most unpredictable game ever
Ehhh, not really.
They are trying to move the ball this year and it is not working, also their coach, Curt/Kurt/Kirt, is trying to hold the school hostage...
Take the overs.
Vandy has been sneaky good this year beating Va Tech and Bama at home and taking mizzou to 2 OT on the road.
Who knew vandy had a mesmerizing home advantage
