Bet your life savings on Penn State; borrow some money to throw on Illinois

Roll tide!
Alabama is Smooth Jimmy's Lock of the Week!

What did you search to find this photo? "Pete Finebaum and Nick Saban play tummy sticks at a Red Roof Inn".
A friend is wondering if there are more...

"it just means more"
November 8th, 2019 at 10:25 PM ^
I’m taking Bama and PSU.
November 8th, 2019 at 10:26 PM ^
Illinois straight up at +450 looks like incredible value.
November 8th, 2019 at 10:39 PM ^
VT +2
Clemson over 53.5
BC -2.5
November 8th, 2019 at 10:44 PM ^
I'd take the points in every game except the LSU game.
November 8th, 2019 at 11:00 PM ^
MD, NC St., Wyoming, Iowa - all cover.
NW, LSU win outright.

Holy crap with all the Bama and PSU life savings bets. Sorry guys, I have LSU to win and Minny + points. The cold in Minnesota will freeze Franklin's brain more than it is frozen at the present time. PSU lays an egg and the boat will be rowed on the ice.

TCU has some issues at QB. Baylor could be easy money

Hey Pal, if you go 1-7, you shouldn't be wasting our time with your threads. Or, perhaps just list the betting lines without your picks.

Last week 3-0
mgoseason 5-1
Penn State crushes Minnesota
LSU @ Bama taking the under at 63.5 points
Illinois +14 vs Sparty
November 9th, 2019 at 8:01 AM ^
Va Tech. +2.5 over Wake Va Tech at home
ND -7.5 over Duke at Duke
November 9th, 2019 at 8:10 AM ^
Not sure what Vegas was thinking with MSU. I would be all over Illinois at +14 and OSU -42.5. My head says Ped State will destroy Minnesota, but my heart wants Fleck to row the boat up Franklin's ass.
November 9th, 2019 at 8:53 AM ^
Franklin might like that, being he's at Ped State.
November 9th, 2019 at 8:26 AM ^
Teasing Minnesota and the over
taking Illinois and the points
taking LSU and the points

I primarily do NBA, college basketball and the NFL - primarily because I can’t find a really good NCAA dataset but that Illinois line (I’ve even seen a half point hook to 14.5) makes no sense. Vegas is rarely that far off - I’m going to look at the under as that ends up being telling of the line itself
November 9th, 2019 at 10:59 AM ^
Yep, staying away altogether from the sparty Illi line side wise . My thinking too
November 9th, 2019 at 9:32 PM ^
Yeah I went big bet (Full Kelly) on Minnesota on the moneyline and blended with the points then did Illini to do the same at half Kelly. I just felt the 14.5 when you have a 47 o/u indicates that Sparty will win offensively which as inefficient as they are seemed highly improbable. I didn’t touch the LSU game as the line seemed appropriate given the efficiencies of the two teams beforehand but in game bet Alabama plus 6.5. I lost on TCU which honestly I deserved to as I took the moneyline once it dropped to 1.5.
I immediately regretted my Sparty decision for the same reason you didn’t touch it. Then wouldn’t you know the cone back from 25 down to win. It’s why it’s a portfolio man. You get back door covers and bad beats. Just hope to make money overall.
