I dont usually parlay but I feel good about this

Most of the time I only bet sides or totals and stay away from parlays..  today will be my first parlay of the year, weather and non-weather are big factors with my decision:

Atlanta / Minnesota  OVER 43         -  predict 57 pts - dome
Miami / KC  UNDER 37.5          -  predict 26 pts - 9 degrees, windy
NO / Detroit  OVER 49.5          -  predict 55 pts - dome

(locked it in before the NO/Det went up, I believe it is now at 50.5, but I would still go over)

I have each of these on a separate straight bet just in case one of them screws up the parlay...  Good Luck everyone!!!

Penn St vs So. Cal -10    45

Wow, some really interesting early lines..  Just focusing on the BCS games..  Here are the picks I like to jump on  (In order of my confidence level)

#1 - PSU/USC under for sure!!   Two good defenses..  USC will not give up more that 14 pts here unless something crazy happens on special teams or turnovers.

#2 - Texas to cover easy.  probably will be a blow out.  Texas was really robbed and they have alot to prove.  I am from Ohio and love the bucks but they are outmatched here. 

#3 - OK/FLA I dunno who will win but I am going to say it will be way over..(at least 85 pts here)

#4 - Alabama to cover (ALA has something to prove after losing the SEC Championship game and Utah is a nice team but a lil out of their league here)..

#5 - Va Tech +1 basically I think they will win this one outright...  although I would love to see Cincy win but I dont think so.

Please let me know what you guys are thinking.  I am planning to place some early bets and want to hear what you think about my predictions.  Dont w... [More]

UD FLYERS BASKETBALL!!! GOTTA LUV IT

I have lived in Dayton Ohio for over 30 years..  I have been following Dayton Flyers basketball since I can remember..  going back to Roosevelt "Velvet" Chapman and their run to the Elite 8 and the big game against Wayman Tisdale and the Okahoma Sooners..  What a game..  Chapman and Tisdale both scored a ton of points.  This is from a "Top 10 most memorable March Madness performances"

10. Roosevelt
"Velvet'' Chapman, Dayton In 1984, the Flyer star upset Wayman Tisdale's Oklahoma team with 41 points, then scored 22 in an upset of Detlef Schrempf's Washington team.


That was during the Donoher glory days..  now we have Gregory and his new "deep bench" philosophy.  Not going to get a huge ppg average for any of his players but the strategy is working so far.  last year they started off with a 11-0 start and beating ranked Louisville and Pittsburgh.  they lost Freshman Chris Wright to injury and it went downhill.  This year they are off to a 8-0 start with wins over Auburn and 15th ranked Marquette.  If they stay healthy they should do well in the A10.

Back during the Donoher days in the 80's I recall the team going 7 or 8 players deep and thats why stars like Roosevelt Chapman emerged.  What do you think about Gregory's philosophy with rotating 10-12 players every night?  I would be interested to hear who thinks that is a good idea or not.  I have...
