Possibly, but I wanted to stick up for my team. It isn't much money anyways, but I want to win because he has had me this year.

If you really want to win then don't go with the vols. Then again, who knows. I stick to betting with teams that arent UT. Like my idiot friend that bets me each week that ND will win, what a retard, it's like free money

That LSU, UF spread is a little big for me, plus, obviously the Dawgs have a better than 50% chance of beating us.

I actually don't think it is that bad. I don't think LSU will win by less than 7. I think that either LSU will play dismal football like last year, or they will win like they should. I think LSU wins big, or doesn't win at all. I could definitely be wrong though.

These are all individual. They are with a friend.

I agree with all the picks...yes, even UT. I think LSU annihilates.

I applaud you. Anyone willing to possibly lose money for the sake of his allegiance is ok in my book

It isn't a large bet. At all. It is just a small bet with my friend, and I feel like I owe him because I cleaned him out when I suckered him into taking his Reds in baseball.

I think UT wins a tight one, LSU blows out UF by 20 and Wisconsin crushes Illinois by 30.

Illinois could easily win this game outright. Wisconsin is overrated.
