What's yours?

That Baylor KSU line is really interesting. KSU plays well in Manhattan, but I trust Rhule more and Baylor looks pretty good. That's a really interesting game.
October 4th, 2019 at 6:48 PM ^
That NC G Tech line reeks. I’d take G tech and the points in an obvious letdown game.
October 4th, 2019 at 6:58 PM ^
I see the logic there for sure, but GA Tech is REALLY bad and has not covered yet this year.
October 4th, 2019 at 11:21 PM ^
Geoff Collins is a fraud.
He is running an offense ill suited for his personnel also and his offensive coordinator is bad.
10.5 seems low, tbh
October 4th, 2019 at 6:56 PM ^
I'm also on UNC (got it at 9.5). My go to for the first 5 weeks has been go heavy on Ohio St., fade Stanford, and service academy unders so I'll be continuing that this week. Now I just jinxed it though.
Also like Oregon (-17.5) vs a Cal team that is starting Devon Modster. They are going to have a tough time scoring anything in Eugene.
October 4th, 2019 at 11:59 PM ^
Oregon might not score enough to cover that number. Cal's gotta pretty decent D.
October 4th, 2019 at 7:09 PM ^
Letdowns after emotional losses for Nebraska and North Carolina? I like Northwestern and Georgia Tech with the points.
Also: West Virginia, Florida, Kansas State, Stanford, Cal, Army, and sadly, Iowa.
October 4th, 2019 at 7:33 PM ^
The Air Force - Navy game UNDER is a really good play. The last 10-12 years or so when the academies play (Army, Air Force, and Navy) the under has hit at an incredible rate something like 34-8-1. The under tomorrow is 45, last years score was 35-7
October 4th, 2019 at 8:24 PM ^
Go Air Force, Sink Navy!!
October 5th, 2019 at 12:06 AM ^
AF is averaging 34.5 this season.
Navy averaging 36.7 this season.
Good luck....
October 5th, 2019 at 1:32 AM ^
Yup, the Air Force -Navy over was definitely close to being one of my plays tomorrow . May still bet it especially Tottenham and Harry Kane takes care of business tomorrow early morning .
October 4th, 2019 at 8:27 PM ^
tOSU -21? Sure why not. LOL Sparty.
October 4th, 2019 at 8:53 PM ^
The O/U for that game is 48.5, I feel like the over is an easy bet.
October 4th, 2019 at 8:58 PM ^
OSU will cover and then some. I can see that game being a complete shitshow. OSU - 49 MSU - 7
If you ask me, Auburn smokes Florida. Florida is probably going to lose three of their next four (Auburn, LSU, and Georgia. They should beat SCAR). They haven't looked good yet and have built their record against terrible teams. They're about to face the gauntlet.
October 5th, 2019 at 12:10 AM ^
agree on all.
October 5th, 2019 at 1:41 AM ^
from studying and reading the market all week, OSU/MSU game seems to be a classic pros vs joes game , with the joes on OSU to cover and pros on MSU with the points for the most part .
October 4th, 2019 at 9:15 PM ^
BEAVERS

#PLAY LIKE CHAMPIONS
October 4th, 2019 at 9:32 PM ^
UCF -3.5. GA -24. OSU - 19.5 and UNC -9.5
The vast majority of $ are on OSU. Thinking about OK State as well, they are 5-0 against the spread. I think UCF is strong enough to cover but that will be a close game, TN won’t stay within 24 of GA and GTech is an absolute train wreck, UNC will wreck them.
October 4th, 2019 at 9:33 PM ^
I've shared this tidbit before, but I advise (I don't bet my school's games myself) everyone to ride this trend until it dies.
James Franklin's Penn State teams are momentum teams. When they are rolling, they are rolling. When they lose their mojo, the wheels tend to fall off.
PSU is 17-4-1 (!!) in their last 22 regular season games ATS as a favorite when coming off a straight-up victory.
Conversely, they are 1-8-2 (!!) all-time under CJF ATS as a favorite coming off a straight-up loss.
As for what that means tomorrow, I suppose take PSU and lay the big number (28).
October 4th, 2019 at 10:33 PM ^
Yeah, I also like PSU -28.
October 4th, 2019 at 9:47 PM ^
I see M -4 now FWIW.
Might be worth kicking the tires on Utah State. They're +27.5 at LSU who might be looking ahead to a top 10 matchup vs Florida next week. It's also a noon game which is pretty rare for LSU. I could see them sleepwalking for awhile.
October 5th, 2019 at 12:15 AM ^
I am also on Utah State here, good pick.
October 4th, 2019 at 10:27 PM ^
Auburn is Smooth Jimmy's Lock of the Week!
October 4th, 2019 at 10:32 PM ^
I really like Army +3 home to Tulane. And of course I like Michigan -4 because I am a glutton for punishment.
October 4th, 2019 at 11:56 PM ^
I'm big on UAB this weekend.... just sayin'.
October 5th, 2019 at 1:38 AM ^
Good luck ... i bet Rice at the wrong time clearly as that line is currently up to -10.5 UAB. We shall see
October 5th, 2019 at 8:16 AM ^
I don't know how anyone who has watched the Owls could bet on them. The Stanford offensive model without the OL and with bad QB play.
I guess they could run it and suck enough air out of the ball to limit possessions like a poor man's service academy. The problem is they don't seem capable of scoring points to finish those drives.
October 5th, 2019 at 8:45 AM ^
Watched and bet the Owls last week and won ! :)
October 5th, 2019 at 12:02 AM ^
UM -3.5 (triple down on this one)
Texas -11
Auburn -3
Tomorrow is going to be a great day. Watch the home team beat down a group of kids from Iowa and then tomorrow night watch sparty get embarrassed. Sure OSU wins, but they do that most of the time, so what’s one more time going to hurt? OR osu shits the bed and gets beat at home and all of a sudden our season is looking pretty bright. It will be a great day regardless.
October 5th, 2019 at 4:29 AM ^
Auburn dominates Florida, that's about the only confident spread for me this week. That Ohio St. O/u is enticing but shit, There's a chance 28 pts is still a landslide win but Sparty doesn't quite allow them to go bonkers and into the 40s
October 5th, 2019 at 8:39 AM ^
I’m 7-1-1 on the year (check my weekly posts in this thread) so clearly I solved this sports betting thing.
This week.
Michigan -3.5
Maryland -13.5
army +2
oklahoma -33
October 5th, 2019 at 8:54 AM ^
Nice , thought about the Maryland bet as well , especially as it was sitting around -12.5 most of the week. Like the over in that game too
October 5th, 2019 at 9:45 AM ^
The first one that jumped out at me is Army +2 hosting Tulane
November 19th, 2019 at 3:08 PM ^
So, I see betting websites like the ones listed on https://nga-online-betting.org are much more popular now than they were a few years before, why is it happening?
