Well we kinda got screwed as I had to leave early and a capper came in late on Rice which would have made it a consensus pick at 5 - 1.   Oh well.

Alabama (with 1 against)

OK we are back on the plus side even though USC tried to give it away.   What a snap on that punt.    Thought we were cooked.

 

Not seeing any real consensus trend with any of the games today.   Tech/Miss is fairly evenly split at Miss 5 - 3.   Alabama is 3 - 2.   Kent is 2 - 1.   I will update if things change.

I wonder what the consensus would be now at Florida -5?

I beg to differ on your definition of "respectable".  60% is excellent.  We can all quit our day jobs with that %. 

 

Keep up the good work and don't question your fine results to date!

I guess a running game doesn't count as offense.

i'll stop in when i place 'em and let you know.  i did post early that day...but typically i don't post until closer to game time, which doesn't make it easier for you.  no problem...

on texas tech -4 today, as well as taking kentucky +3.  i have not yet posted my play for the late game.

PlacinUnits says:
01/02/09 02:09PM
I don't really care whether or not you include me any longer...it's really up to you.  your show.

however, i picked oregon state...and I picked vandy.  if you are still including me...those would not have been consensus plays, or perhaps they would have had at least 1 capper against them.

PlacinUnits says:
01/03/09 07:12PM
I posted my plays...

Texas big.

Tulsa smaller.

And I will probably urge the forum to remove Florida from consensus.    Boston College and Pitt should have never been up there either.

PlacinUnits says:
01/04/09 11:00PM
i hear ya...leave it on up there.

my final plays are posted....

texas big, tulsa small, oklahoma 1st half and for the game.  good luck...and again, thank you very much for the hard work.

That kind of crap serves NO purpose.  Keep that negativity to yourself.  And go figure, Utah won the game outright. Forget the cover.  Nice capping

Now that it hits 6 61/2 ??
manifesto says:
01/08/09 12:39PM

Beaver - it is an interesting question that has come up before.   The cappers I use typically are locking in their bets when they post.   I have actually seen them taking as high as Florida -4.5.   If this line keeps moving it is going to open up opportunities for catching middles, especially if it clips -7.     Right now I am seeing the game at -5.5 to -6.    For the most part, and I have to admit I have not tracked it, the consensus picks have not been affected too often by line movement.

manifesto says:
01/02/09 03:18PM

Placin - hmm nost sure how I did not get those picks....I follow your thread... when are you posting?   OSU would not have made a difference, would have been 6 - 1 but on BC it would have knocked it out of consensus....would it be possible for you to post your current picks in my playbook?

I apologize to everyone for the late post....could not get into the site to check updates...anyone else having trouble?....best I can tell UConn went off at 7 - 1 so it would still qualify as consensus....

I don't have one guy on Oklahoma yet so I am not sure where you are coming from on Florida.   Agree on BC, that was my fault for not getting a couple of late picks....Pitt was a consensus at 6 - 1...
