Yeah I agree with both of you on this one. Think I might stay completely away from the Nebraska Mizzou game altogther. There is some weak lines that I think we can beat this weekend. It is going to be a fun game to watch anyways. Like some oldtimer once told me at the sportbook, when you dont know which side to pick take the home team! Not the best of advice!

I am goin to casino tonite and see what I hear again on the LA TECH Nevada game. I know alot of these fellas follow the Nevada and UNLV teams and will give me some info, because I am clueless on what Nevada really has

On the LA Tech/Nevada game...

With me being a grad of LA Tech, I keep up with them a little. Nevada seems to have our number on a yearly basis, but Tech seems to get better and better every year. Derek Dooley is making some improvements to the team. I think Nevada wins by 7 in this game, but Tech covers the spread.

Had a big 4th quarter on that Nebraska game to come out a winner. Was a very fun game to watch.

Very fun indeed. I always think that if you're not 100% sure with a bet, don't place it. Nothing worse than not being 100% sure, placing the bet, and losing. Cause then you 2nd guess your decision even more.

Edit: BTW I took a degenerate gamble on the LT vs Nevada game. I took LT.

There's some tough games this weekend. I picked Nebraska last night and was on edge til the 4th.

The line for the Bama/Ole Miss game was down to 5 last time I checked so I'm taking Bama on that for sure.

I'm taking Michigan State at -4 playing at Illinois. Some already touched on it but the Illini are awful and start a new QB.

Virginia's favored by 6.5 over Indiana. Both teams are bad but I think UVA's worse even though they beat UNC, who hasn't looked good this year. Indiana's played most teams tough all year and won the games they were supposed to.

Minnesota's favored by 3 against Purdue. I think Minn covers and they need to win a home game.

I actually wound up changing 2 of my picks - I went with Tennessee as a last minute gut instinct. Figured either I'd crash and burn with them or they'd really pull through for me in the spot. I knew not many of the guys in the weekly picks would be on UT and I was right.

I also changed my pick to UCLA +6.5 after seeing that Oregon's starting QB is out. Just kind of went out on a limb to do that - I still am pretty unsure of this pick though.

If I had to pick a game I felt best about this weekend it would be Boston College +13.5 at Virginia Tech. I just think that's way too many points for Tech to have to try and cover against a big rival. I still wish the line had been 14 but I'll be really shocked if Virginia Tech wins this game by more than 4-7 points - if they win at all.

That is a huge line DOWNnDiry. I like the pick. The Tennesse pick, for personal fan reason I hope will work out. I aint putting any money on it just because I am not sure.
Like your picks alot though. I am goin to play the Boston College too.

Nevada killed LA TECH tonite. Could not believe it. Was a touchdown away from the over too. At the poker room they were crying alot over that game. Alot played the over and got smoked..I left this game alone myself. Still trying to make the picks as we speak for tomm...

WHO YOU ALL GOT??

Wisconsin is +16? Holy crap - that might be worth a moneyline play for someone adventurous. I think they "could" beat Ohio State and that would be a pretty payday at th window.

Yup. They usually always play Ohio State close, regardless of rankings and lines. I had to jump all over this one.

Well I'm already getting smoked and my lock of the week is down 31-0 and its not even halftime. Can't believe BC is playing THAT bad. I'm also right now losing Vandy and Auburn. Not a great start - probably already toasted.
