Big game in the A-10 tonight

Dayton is now an 8.5 point favorite.  They opened as a 11 point favorite.  Kind of odd, as Charlotte is in first place of the A-10, winning 7 games in a row.  Last loss coming at Xavier, although UNC has played several close games.  My guess is that Charlotte really struggles to score points, and with the 11 point opening leads me to believe this is going to be a blowout tonight.  Probably going to play this one big, I said I wasn't betting all week, stayed away last night, think this is the game to jump back in on.  Thoughts?

Dayton 78
Charlotte 62

Rest of first round later.  Updates as the time gets closer.

NFL Divisional Round

Went 2-2 last weekend.  Really distressed about the Bengals still.  My football season is now over.  Sad to say I'm looking forward to the draft and baseball.  Makes me want to puke.  Season has flown by.  Came and went.  There are still teams playing though so of course I'll make a few plays.

First off:

Saturday's Games:

Arizona +7 (5) - Nice size play here.  Think Arizona keeps it well within this number.  I think playing in the dome actually benefits the Cardinals.  I think this game comes down to the wire.  I'm guessing a 27-24 type game here.

Indianapolis -6.5 (2) - Leaned Ravens originally why I'm not playing it harder.  I think the Colts are determined to do well.  I don't see any other way than to play the Colts here.  Colts get it done big.  24-10.

Sunday's Games:

Minnesota -2.5 (2) - Favre can't go out like this can he.  I think the front four for Minnesota will be too much to handle.  Hate betting against this Dallas club though.  They have been playing extremely well.  Hard to bet against them in this spot.  Think Favre and AP get it done.  I'm thinking 24-17 here.

Still no play on the other.  Would have liked the Jets at 9.5, down to 7.5 might make a play on the total.  Have yet to decide.  Leaning under.  Will update when I make a play.

Wildcard Plays/National Championship

I'm not posting anymore...Again my email address is open to anyone.  I'll add all who want to still know my plays to my address list and send out when I can.  These are my plays for the rest of the week.  National Title + Wildcard playoffs.  I was boxed and I'm not going to sit in a penalty box on a fucking website.  Jail me on a website that is absolutely ridiculous and absurd.  I'm sure some I'll stay in contact with some.  Again my email address is whodeysb09covers@yahoo.com.
Boom obviously about the stuff for next season probably can't happen.  I'll probably create multiple aliases and find if they ever catch me.  Very doubtful.   


Final Wildcard Card:


Cincinnati -2.5 (8)

Baltimore +3.5 (2)

Philadelphia +4 (1)

Arizona -1 (4)


National Title:


Alabama -4 (5)

Still Lean to the Baltimore/New England Under as well, doubt I'll play.  Wish I could somehow just got my thread to my blog I thought there was several good bits of information in there.  Oh well...What happens when you give some people power.

Week 10 Leans/Plays

Had another good Sunday. 3-2 but hit large on the Texans and Bengals.  Also hit Tennessee.  Which I'm a little pissed at myself because I let myself get talked down on that game.  I really liked the Titans and wanted to play it hard, but got talked out of it.  Instead made a dumb play on the Bears.  Oh well.  Seems to be a trend.  I haven't really had a bad one all season.  Just wanted to start this thread.  No plays yet.  Will update record and everything else later on.  My leans right now are as follows

Cincinnati +7
Seattle +9
New England +3

Monday
Cleveland +10.5 - Looking for a tad more here.  I think if Quinn starts(no ND bias)  Don't like Quinn now he plays for the Clowns.  Anyways I think that gives them a much better shot of being competitive at least in this game.  Would really love to be catching 13+ here.

Thursday
Bears +3

Haven't really looked much.  Just kinda took a look at a few things thats about it.  Again I'll try to put some more stuff in either tomorrow or Thursday.  I just have a lot of stuff going on this week, plus I have the new Call of Duty which I have been playing for ever it seems already.  Took a break just to post here.  Good luck this week everyone.

Navy at Notre Dame huge write-up

Now normally I wouldn't do something like this, but I want to tell you why this is the best spot to lay points for Notre Dame all season.

#1 - Notre Dame's problems on defense has been stopping the pass.  Against Navy they won't have to worry about stopping the pass.  Notre Dame's rush defense is actually pretty good.  They have been steadily improving on that side of the ball in all aspects all season long.  I don't see the Irish having any trouble stopping the triple option this weekend.  Last 3 games for the Irish only allowing 97 yards a game.  That's against USC, Boston College, and Washington State.  Home Games they really have stopped the run.  Really shut down the Nevada team.  I don't really take anything from early on but I guess thats the most similar team, considering how much they run the football.

#2 - Possible return of Michael Floyd.  Most of you might have forgotten about Michael Floyd since Golden Tate has absolutely ripped it up this season, in his absense.  Michael Floyd is by far our best pure receiver, and personally I don't think their is a more dominant one in college football when on the field.  This season Michael Floyd has 13 catches for 358 yards and 5 touchdowns.  In just 2 and a half games.  That is staggering numbers, he is averaging over 27 yards a catch.  If he plays this week Navy will almost have no answer for Tate, Floyd and Rudolph and their defense ...

Extremely Early CFB Leans

I started looking at the games really hard for the past couple of days.  Early leans so far..

Thursday Night...

North Carolina St -3.5
Boise State -4.5

Saturday

Washington +14
Oklahoma State -4.5
Western Michigan +11
Virginia Tech +4
Illinois -5
UAB +2
Ohio +6 - UCONN lost a lot.

Notre Dame -17 - My early thoughts on this game were that Nevada would keep it close.  The more and more I look at matchups this game has blowout written all over it.  Notre Dame will load up 8 in the box and blitz the hell out of Kapernick.  They will force him to use the arm to beat them in my opinion.  Tate, Floyd, and Rudolph should dominate the secondary.  If the running game is decent this week Irish could win by 24+.  Probably won't bet this game, because it is week 1 and I'm really not sure what to expect.  I would recommend staying away from this game, as of now. 


Lookin for better lines on some games

Florida Atlantic +20, although history tells me no.
California -17
Kentucky -14
Troy -3, Really like this game, almost seems too good to be true.  So I'm going to really look into this game.

Again these are really early leans.  I could end up not betting any of these above but right now this is what I like.   Backing 3 MAC teams early

Vick Close to signing with NFL Team

Reports are saying that he is close to signing, but no details of with who.  Any guesses?

Here are my top 4 spots:


Baltimore
Jacksonville
New England
Washington

Notre Dame Offensive Preview

I'm extremely excited about my Irish this season.  Probably the most excited I've been about an Irish team in a long time.  Is this the year all the great recruiting classes finally pay off?  I think so.  The Irish have one of the more favorable schedules on paper that I have seen in a long time.  As I've sat here and gone over and over countless statistics, read countless previews and broke down the schedule 40 times and I keep coming to this conclusion.  For all who have yet to figure this out yet, the Irish are going 12-0 this season.

I'm nuts I know, but like it or not I could see this happening.  Notre Dame's offense is going to be great this season.  When I say great I could see them easily averaging 32 points a game.  At times last year Notre Dame looked really good, like a contender but at times again they looked extremely bad losing to Syra****. The biggest thing everyone needs to remember is how young the team was last year, and still even this year.  Now though most of these players have had a chance to gain a lot of college experience against great players.  If Clausen doesn't get invited to the Heisman ceremony this season I'll be extremely surprised.  The wide recievers are great, Phil Steele recently ranked them as the #1 WO group in the nation.  Golden Tate and Mike Floyd are both great in my opinion.  Mike Floyd will be a top 10 pick in the NFL Draft if he can stay healthy and of cou...
