Gambling Week 3

Those are nice pics JOHNNY.
After watching film, I'm beginning to think FSU may have the best combined OL and DL in the country. They look like a total bitch up front of D.
The East Coast games tomorrow may cause an issue on some of my picks.
Wondering about the weather in the FSU. High winds and rain.
That's a nice trip for that public servant's kids. lol
Having said that my contribution is going to be a parlay with 4 teams that had their first 2 games at home and now are going on the road to play a team that played its first 2 games on the road. Could be interesting.
In theory, in that environment, the offensive and defensive line control the game, minus turnover factor.
I like Florida where I got them at -7. Not at the current 6 or 6 1/2.
Florida - ML
Boston College +25.5
C. Michigan +34.5
Minny +7
S Florida +32.5

Years ago I was listening to a guy on the radio and they asked "What do you think about OSU at Illinois this weekend, OSU favored by 28, any chance the Illini pull it out?"
And the guy goes "Yeah, I guess, the game is at 11am, it will be cold and gray and no one will be in the stadium so OSU might not even know a game is going on"
I am “liking” this because anyone who posts picks deserves a like
That said I would be stunned if Bama doesn’t win by 60 tomorrow much less the 33 they’ll need to cover
Bama starting the transfer from ND at QB.
He is reunited with Tommy from ND who was also his OC at Dame. Should be some better chemistry there.
Saban probably not taking any prisoners tomorrow.
This is a game where "normal Nick" gets up 28-0 at the half and that is it...game ends 31-3
Tomorrow it will end with a 50 point Bama win.
As road Favorite in the last 4 years (not including 2020 season) 5-10.
1-3, 1-2, 3-2, 1-3.
Two trends this year. Maryland falls behind 14-0 and then battles back.Uggg, I hate trends...
Unless I bet them and they win
NU finds a way to turn it over 4 times a game.
Not just dogs, mainly home dogs, love playing big home dogs, especially on Thursday and Friday night games, they cover a shit load
Last year at home USF as Home Underdog they were 1-4. The year before they were 4-0.
Thanks scarlet. Good luck with your picks.
I’m betting more but don’t want Kong crapping on them..😁
For the room I'm going to play a 3 team 50.00 parlay. Will play in the a.m.
Tuco with Virginia Tech (**Edited from Rutgers after reading Tuco post #2 in this thread)**
scarlet with Syracuse
kong with Colorado
If any of you guys choose to change your top pick, just let me know by about 9 a.m. or so.
Next week I'm going to bump it to a 4 team room parlay. I'll use our 3 regular pickers, and next week I'm gonna use SuperBigFan as the 4th. The following week I'll HuskerO top pick, then JOHNNY, then leodis, then Tampa Bay, etc.
I want to try to include as many as possible since this is gonna be a collective play on my part. I may have to move to a 5 team parlay after a couple weeks in order to get all the guys in that make picks. We just need to get lucky a time or two. It would be nice for the room to win, but it's mostly for fun.
Regardless if we win or not, I'm gonna keep it at 50.00 parlay, even if we are playing a 4-5-6-7-8 teamer.

At the track, my daughter was like the chiller, so I normally just gave her money to go shopping.
hey c'mon now
I don't make a habit of crapping on picks
mine are usually the worst in the whole thread!
I better get serious and stop drawing my picks out of a hat 😁
I wonder if they get a lot of beaver or if their payoff is like, in their late 20's.
See, they don't put that kind of info on the "Life of a West Point Cadet" tab on the school website.
I am 100% certain that my bookie grins when I put my bets in and immediately tells his wife to "book a vacation, somewhere warm"
It's all in fun man. No judgement (unless everyone hits except you...)
You should probably know that I tell my wife the mascots of each team and let her pick based on that info.
Right. Based on her picks, she's pretty good.
Earlier today, for my wife I played a State 3 teamer. KSU, PSU, FSU. On paper, not a bad play.
Penn State looking kind of yucky on the road. Hope people heeded my advice not to listen to me when I said I'd think they will cover
Still kind of expect that they will and pull away in the 2nd half. But we'll see. FSU is only up by 7 on BC at the half too. I didn't mention that one but felt like a bit of a trap to me.

PSU will still end up covering yet..NC and Minnesota should be one of the better games of the day..Penn State looking kind of yucky on the road. Hope people heeded my advice not to listen to me when I said I'd think they will cover

Kinda shaping up to be one of those days.
At halftime, South Carolina 14 Georgia 3.
Mizzou edges K State on 61 yd field goal as time expires.
Florida State started slow, gained control, got sloppy and barely escaped Boston College with a 2 pt win as a 24.5 favorite.
