Thoughts on early lines? I don't really like much so far, but might bite on. I've gotta do some research as there are a lot of big numbers this week.
Penn State -14
Syracuse -2.5
Penn State -14
Syracuse -2.5
Gambling Week 3
- Thread starter leodisflowers
- Start date
I like Memphis -14 1/2 over Navy
Va Tech + 7 vs Rutgers
Florida +7 at home vs Tennessee
Va Tech + 7 vs Rutgers
Florida +7 at home vs Tennessee
I'm starting to get on board with the Memphis play as well as adding Vandy.
Like both of those and K-St -4 over Mizzou I’ll take Colorado -23.5 too.
Yeah. With Norvell spouting off, I think CU is going to try and put it on them. If WSU scored 50, I think CU can get there.
Thoughts on UNC vs. Minnesota? I just don't see Minnesota as being that good and I think Drake Maye might hurt them.
waiting to see the forecast
the hurricane moving up the Atlantic seaboard might make that one pretty soggy
if it's not super wet, I agree
That Memphis game has been brought up as one that a lot of professional gamblers like.
I'm in Raleigh and it's supposed to be fantastic on Saturday. High of 80 low of 57.
I read a gambling article that showed that stats when it came to making a wager because of the forecast and basically the stats showed that there was no reason to change your wager based on rain/snow/wind whatever..
Of course, I thought that was bullshit! Even though the research backed it up I was still like "**** these nerds".
I've seen Penn State's first couple games. I've seen Illinois play some too. It's hard to gauge this early in the season and Penn State has played some weak teams and this is their first road game which is always iffy... but I have a hunch they will cover. Allar has looked great for Nits and Franklin has no qualms about adding a garbage touchdown or two at the end of games.
Not sure how to feel about Purdue/Syracuse. Fresno State and Va Tech games were both close and both might be decent teams. Purdue is at home and Syracuse hasn't really had a challenge yet - I like the Boilermakers there. Don't take my word though... there's a reason I don't gamble lol. Especially early in the season when things are still working their way out.

Illinois will get worked over. They should be 0-3 on the way to that magical Big Ten West 5 win season.
Money must be on Navy because that line has dropped 1 point to Memphis -13.5 over Navy.
Could be...
I have heard that a lot of big time gamblers don't put in early bets, so who knows.
In the end it is all a ****ing guess and the only real winners are the books. Which is why I feel okay about helping my bookie send his 3 kids through private school.
I usually don't bet chalk but this week I like a big number blue blood parley for various reasons
Alabama bounces back after a loss
Ohio State discounted because didn't run it up on Youngstown State (but never does)
Oklahoma ready to put together a complete game and separate from mediocre teams

Looks like your bookie is going to sign his kids up for that summer trip to Europe!
I also LOVE Sparty plus the points on Saturday
Every square on the planet will be on Wash
Dantoni will have the boys buzzing & their grass will be about 18” long by kickoff

Oh my god, right?
Plus, I feel like Washington doesn't play well when they travel far. I totally have no idea if that is true but it was what I think.
People were loving this game alright. Just that they were loving Navy, not Memphis, haha!
Yeah, I was clicking refresh and that line just kept dropping and dropping and dropping.

Skers -13 tomorrow
Totals: 43
Skers totals are 26.5
Thoughts?
I know I know "I am not touching that game" Shut up, if you gamble you are going to put money on your favorite team, the only question is, what is your bet?

Yeah, that was odd...it jumped up so much in just a few hours
Over the last 2 years, that Thursday night college game, as the only game in town, has yielded some very odd results.
The "gimmes" aren't always gimmes.
Making an exception here. Who do you like best in the point spread games?

Tuco, among Va Tech v. Rutgers, or Florida v. Tennessee which game do you like best?
