Okay here we go...

VT -12.5 vs UNC

VT is going to want to come out huge here on ACC opening weekend play. UNC came off a disappointing defeat at the hands of Rutgers. VTs special teams/ defense will account for aleast 1 score here as well.

VT 31 UNC 10

UCLA -27 vs Rice

Rice just plain sucks and UCLA will SCORE SCORE SCORE. This one will be a blowout in a huge way.

UCLA 49 Rice 3

if anyone wants to add their picks, go for it.

Im obviously biased, being an alum, but I've taken Ohio State, and made the spread +3.5.

Im also a big fan of the Eagles and Seahawks Sunday (two road favorites...but still)

Reguardless of the outcome of those two games raod chalk this early in the season is always dangerous, I see where your coming from with those two games though.


RE: Ohio State, I'm not playing thig game simply because I am the only person I know who thinks Ohio St is gonna crush through Texas like a hot knife through butter.

We've got three for today, but in all honesty the way I have been running in games, poker, and well life, I'm almost afraid to take you guys down with the ship here.

4-1 in my last 5 games played, but missed the Cal game horribly, got the Pitt game last night but didn't deserve it, even though I still think I handicapped it well enough, how do you explain Cincy not going for the field goal late in the game when they HAD TO HAVE ONE? Clearly they didn't go for it because I was on it.


Todays plays, fade em if you want:

Auburn -20.5

East Carolina +7

Penn State +8


I'm gonna go find a plastic bag to put over my head now.

I was a little slow, so I missed Auburn, but I got in on Penn State +9 and East Carolina +6.5. That half point will probably screw me, and since I missed Auburn, expect them to win by 42 or so.

Still doing $50 bets. I'll probably go to $100 for your NFL picks.

GL us.

I really should have posted about that Penn State line since ND is so popular nationwide the late money always pours in on them and moves the line.

The 6.5 on East Carolina is interesting since it takes a pretty big conscensus on one side to move a line onto or off of 3 and 7, tells me tons of people are on East Carolina which would worry me if this was a game of national importance, but since it's not I'll take it as a good sign.


With 5:10 left in the third quarter Auburn has it under cover but by no means in the bank at this point thanks to some more assenine coaching moves. What's with these coaches this year? Can they see my plays, do they work for the books or something????????????????????

Maybe my boss at the handicapping site will hire you after he fires my sorry ass.

Get me your resume.

SO far so good Ohio State 7-0 after the 1st...HUGE fumble by Texas Deep, and a key FG miss by OSU. OSU has looked vulnerable against the run, but Texas seems so preoccupied with containing Ted Guinn Jr, they are forgetting about the hidden talent Anthony Gonzalez.....Troy Smith looks great.... keep it up

Problem with ND is your going to have to wait until the last game of the season to see what happens with this team
Michigan will be a test
but what then
purdue
mich state (two big maybe's)

Heh the entire armed forces
air
navy
army HA HAH AHA AHA AHA AHAH A JOKE

my high school football team had a harder schedule

I'm just grumpy because I hate ND and their fans and because of the donk schedule I have to take all their irish nonsense until the last week of the year
when USC beats them by 52
And then and only then will my VICTORY be complete. muah ha ha

Another 2-1 day as East Carolina held close enough to get me a win there.

First Cal and now Penn State, those were two pretty big ass kickings that are hard to take. Really no excuse to miss games by that margain and have them both decided in the first half.


I will TRY to get some NFL up before I leave for the airport.
