NCAA Week 7: 23-15 Ytd (61%)

After a dismal first week of the season in pro ball that set me back a good bit I am grinding it out in CFB getting closer to back to even. Hopefully the trend continues and I keep hitting 60%+ to turn out a solid season. This has the early looks of a great card this weekend. I locked in 3 bets already earlier today just getting around to posting them so forgive if the lines have moved...Plays coming right up...

NCAAF Week 6: 20-13 ytd (61%)

Boise State -21
Fresno State is just not very good this year...and I love when Boise gets on prime time. They have struggled the last few weeks with putting teams away, but they are a solid team this year and need a big bounce back game, this could be it. Fresno will struggle to move the ball on this group and have battled injuries all season. The crowd will be pretty good this week, but I don't think it'll matter much. Boise gets on track here and will coast. I'm thinking a 42-10 type of game.

• Boise is 16-5 ATS in their last 21 road games
• Boise is 15-6 ATS in their last 21 friday night games
• Fresno is 12-37 ATS in their last 49 following a S.U. loss
• Fresno is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 friday night games
• Fresno is 16-34 ATS in their last 50 homes games

More coming in the week..

NCAAF Saturday: 16-11 ytd (59%)

Indiana +14.5, Indiana +9 1H
I know Indiana dropped one to a bad UNT team, but I am hoping they kind of come in and catch PSU sleeping. I think there is a good chance of that happening. Penn State isn't good enough to beat anyone without motivation IMO. I think this game could really lag through the first 3 quarters which is why I put up the 1H bet. Hoping Indy comes out with a little pep in their step and puts a score or 2 up early then coast through the rest of the game. Penn State is not very good ATS.


Kansas +7 (Hook)
This is more a play on the home team catching too many points. I hate backing Kansas but 7 is too many here for a home conference game when teams are similar. Texas Tech has not impressed me yet this year  I would have thought this line would be closer to 3/4. I'll take the points at home.

Week 5: 14-10 Ytd (58%)

1-1 Half time bets (I think...could be missing a game in here somewhere).

Went 3-3 last week but hit a ML bet on LSU over WVU, I don't post ML bets here for tracking purposes, doesn't make much sense. All in all, the games I lost last week in regards to UCF and ECU are the kinds of games that make you want to quit betting. ECU with 7 turnovers 2 inside the 5 and UCF with 4 and just giving that game away. Back to the grind this week...BOL to everyone got 2 picks already locked in...posting here shortly.

UCF 2H play

+.5

They will run the clock out, Heaps isn't good enough to get this one closer I liked UCF +3 and am pressing this 2H bet I think
UCF wins this one by 2 scores.

NCAAF Week 4: 11-7 ytd (61%)

Florida -20

This one opened at -17 last night in some places my book doesn't release lines until today. I have it locked in at 20. It does make me a little nervous Florida traveling for the first time this year under new regime and may be looking ahead to Bama next week, but their defense is really nasty. I think even if the offense struggles they should put up 28 on offense. Kentucky is just not a really good football whatsoever they have looked bad each week, but in the SEC on the road anything can happen. I'll take my chances with the Gators here.

More coming later in the week...

2H Bama -20.5 (10-7 ytd)

Taking Tide -20.5 2H in this one...they will come out throwing the ball early...doubt UNT puts up a TD on this defense or the backups.

NCAAF Friday Night: Boise (8-7 ytd)

Taking the Broncos tonight.

Toledo going into tOSU last week was a good setup for them with it being in state deal and catching the bucks at a good time (before Miami)..this week not so much. Boise knows that for them to get to where they want to be, they have to beat teams in these weekday games handedly when everyone is watching...and I think they will. It may be close for a quarter, but Boise is hands down the better team and should win this win rather easily. Boise 45 Toledo 10

Boise State -20

• Boise 20-7 ATS in their last 27
• Boise 6-1 ATS in their last 7 as a road favorite
• Toledo 2-5 ATS in their last 7 as a 10.5+ dog

Back to basics: Wk 3 (8-7 ytd)

Went 2-1 last week on covers (though with my local I bet about 16 games and lost then made 3 ridiculous teaser bets in pro ball to be down huge). It was one of the infamous meltdowns I am notorious for having whether its poker, craps or betting.

This week, and the rest of the year...its all about getting back to even.


I have gotten into a habit of betting every game on the board thinking I can pick 55%...I consistently hit my core games and lose the game I pick up throughout Saturdays. So from here on out, no betting the game just because. Money management key from here. I'm confident I can return to 60%+ for the year as I did 2 years ago, and as I did through the first half of last year before I came up with the grant idea to bet every game on the board. BOL to everyone this week.

NCAAF Friday: -- Zona State (6-6 Ytd)

A first year starting QB with no experience going into a hostile environment for the first time against a better team with more experience....not a good recipe for Mizzou.

Really like the Devils this year, especially this game.

Enough to make it


LARGE -- Arizona State -10

NCAA Wk 2 - 60% 2009, 52% 2010

Off to a 5-5 start looking to recover this week. Already looked in these 3 and will add to this thread as goes...BOL to everyone this week.

Thursday
Arizona +14 (Hook)

Saturday
Arkansas -35 (Hook, LARGE)
Florida -23

NCAAF Thursday Night - Taking Zona and points

Play On: Arizona +14 (hook)

I watched the Okie State game versus ULL and they are talented but their defense is terrible. Its hard for me to lay 14 points with a defense that just gave up 30+ to a SBC school, especially now facing a potent QB that has 8 returning starters on offense. For this reason I am on The Cats.

 

New YEAR...my first saturday picks

BOL to everyone this year I'll update this as they come in. Knew I should have pulled the trigger on Baylor yesterday but that thats how it goes! Looking forward to another big year with you guys.

• Alabama 1H -21.5
• Alabama -38
• Missouri -20 (Hook)

Locking in LSU +7.. LARGE

Will do a write up later in the week just wanted to post this here. Taking the half point now just in case it goes back down to 6. Biggest reason for taking LSU is AU's defensive secondary is a joke, if Jarrett Lee gets bulk of snaps (which he should) LSU will be able to put points up through the air. This is the best and fastest defense Aubie has played, and will play.

5 of last 6 have been decided by less than a TD and I see this one as no different. Contemplating making a play on LSU ML. It's all about defense, and LSU has one.




See you guys later in the week.

-------------------------------------------------------------
2010 NFL: 34-14 (71%)
-------------------------------------------------------------
2-0 last night...hopefully the start to a run.



Kansas +3
I am just not sold on K-State. They have put putted along the last year and half since they lost to UL-Lafayette last year. They just are not a very good team, but they are well coached I supposed. Their QB play is ridiculous and I think teams are finally realizing you need to load the box and make that kid beat you...to which he cannot. I've been impressed with Kansas this year, but not their coaching staff. I think its do or die for these guys, I backed them earlier in the year and got burned. I think that they are a different team at Home and look for them to win this one out right.


West Virginia -10
I see Daniels struggling tonight against a really fast, quality defense. I think the LSU game was an eye opener for WVU, they realized they just were not that good. The only thing that worries me here is I absolutely hate to be on the same side as Bill Stewart. Dude is just terrible. I think WVU keeps the ball rolling tonight against USF (who hasn't really beaten anyone noteworthy this year). Not the same team they have been. It'll be close, but I think Devine breaks a couple late and WVU pulls away to win by 17.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Well I said I was taking a week off, but the more I thought about it, the more I said it was a bad idea. I've never been on a run like this in college football and its bound to end sooner or later. I figure if I keep plucking away I'll come out ahead. Goal this week will to be small again, pick our spots. We will stay away from LARGE bets until our run turns. We are close...BOL to everyone tonight.

UCF -6 (Hook)
UCF 1H OVER 13

Like UCF here tonight. A little nervous to take them after they played so well the other night on national TV...but there is no look ahead game and their new QB rotating offense seems to be clicking. I think it continues tonight against a very average Marshall squad. Marshall may keep it close early, but UCF is the play tonight. They are superior athletically...and its not even close to be honest.
UCF is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 conf games.UCF is 9-1 ATS in their last 10 road games.UCF is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against Marshall.Marshall is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 conference games. Marshall is 1-4 ATS this season.
