Hey Jamiemac....pleeezz read this....(bettin' stuff)
Jamiemac, considering you are the MGoBlog betting savant what do you think of these picks? My little betting team is having a rough year this year. My brother wants to do a 10 game parlay wherein we can win like $400 each. If only we were good at this.... Any other opinions are also welcomed:
- Penn St. -12.5 @ Purdue
- U Conn +7 @ UNC
- Kansas -13 @ IOWA St.
- Notre Dame -7.5 vs. Stanford
- Missouri @ NEBRASKA (OVER 58)
- Texas – 14 @ Colorado
- Florida -24.5 @ Arkansas
- ALABAMA -16.5 vs. Kentucky
- Oklahoma @ BAYLOR (OVER 51)
- Ohio State vs. Wisc (Under 40)

Penn State's only giving 12.5 at Purdue? That seems pretty small.

That's what she said.......lol........that one was for Shock FX.
Yeah, that is surprising, but sure enough, that's what it is according to my bro...maybe he read it wrong.

Could you put the over/under point total on their? Hard to advise on that without the number. Here is how I would bet these:
1.PSU
2. UConn
3. Kansas
4. Stanford
6. Texas
7. Florida (will be pissed, Urban likes to run up the score)
8. Alabama.

- Oklahoma @ BAYLOR (OVER 51)
Take the over.
reasons-
1. OK is averaging 49.75 points a game (and they have played 2 BCS conference teams and TCU)
2. Baylor can score some points, they won't get blanked - so you can count on the putting up at least 10.
3. Bob Stoops loves to run up the score.
4. Every game Baylor has played in this year has had at least 54 points.
I'd predict something like 52-13 or something for the final score, Oklahoma might get the over all on their own.

...thanks for the kind words. I feel like I've created some pretty high expectations for my abilities after last weekend. Gulp!
Anyway, JHS took the words right out of my mouth. Oklahoma can cover that Over all by themselves. But, Baylor has some offensive horses as well. That looks like a winner.
I also like CU a lot. I feel like they're a sleeper team and I like Hawkins. I am still not trusting of Texas D, especially vs the pass. The Buffs have a strong chance to spring the upset, so I love the 2 TDs there for the home team. Plus, i am an avid reading of burnt orange nation and they are not sold on their team for this year as far aa a title contender. This line is way inflated.
Double Digit Dog in SEC league play have been cahsing in like mad for the last several years. I have the numbers at home. 4-1 this year, and I;ve been on them all including Ole Miss and Miss St last week. Arky was the 1 loss, so that one scares me....but I would have no problem going to window and taking UK over Bama.
The over in that Mizz game looks tempting as well. VT and NEB put a lot of points on the board, although 58 is pretty high.
But, I agree with the sentiment about Parlays. I think they can be sucker bets......it is hard to pick one winner, let alone the 4 or so you would have to win through a parlay.
Its too bad those are the only games on the card. There are better games out there, but those parlay cards sometimes force you into games you would not want to bet otherwise.
