Damnit Arizona
They found a way to fuck all of us
Had I seen this in time, I would've taken a shot and bet that
Nice one
My NCAAF record thus far isn't very impressive (unlike my NFL which has gone great), but here are some picks:
Notre Dame +103 at Syracuse
Kansas State -1.5 vs Oklahoma State
Louisville +145 vs Wake Forest
Missouri +150 at South Carolina
Eastern Michigan +215 vs Toledo
Charlotte +15.5 at Rice
Tulsa -102 vs SMU
Massachusetts +103 vs New Mexico State
Georgia -23.5 vs Florida (ploppy pick)
Totals:
Navy vs Temple - Over 41.5
Boise State vs Colorado State - Under 42.5 -115
San Diego State at Fresno State - Over 43
May I not go 0-12.
Record in NFL, first 7 weeks:
Week 1:
1-0, +1.51 units
Week 2:
6-1-1, +4.53 units
Week 3:
6-1, +5.89 units
Week 4:
4-0, +3.73 units
Week 5:
1-2, -1.09 units
Week 6:
4-2, +2.87 units
Week 7:
3-1, +2.77 units
Total through 7 weeks: 25-7-1, +20.21 units
Note that each bet is 1 unit, so the +20.21 figure is due to some underdog moneylines coming in. I don't do multiple unit picks like some handicappers, as it's a bullshit way to falsely pad your record.
A start for the ages.
At my peak, I was 18-2-1, +16.57 units.
However, I have still gone 7-5, +3.64 units since then, so it's not like I'm slumping.
Also notable is that, of the 7 losses, six of them were either leading at some point in the 4th quarter or I lost by 0.5-1 points (or both). Out of 33 picks so far, I've only had one bad one (Saints in week 2), but that was made before a key injury. So if you take out that one (because of the unexpected injury after making the pick), all 32 picks either won or were close.
I don't think I'll ever be able to duplicate this.
This one was fairly easy to predict, 5 weeks since their last game so was going to take them awhile to get their rhythm. Playing at a very loud away venue against an underrated team and half of theirs were new combinations or inexperienced including a rugby league convert who doesn't know what the fuck he's doing half the time because the structure is so different from what he's used to
I will pitch in when I know the lines are off on anything Australian/NZ Sport related as I follow those a lot closer than anything else
Australian NBL Future, not that many would be interested
New Zealand Breakers are the best defensive team in that league (Early on but short season/playoffs compared to the nba) They are paying +1100 somehow to take it out. Should be about +500 to +600 so pretty good value I believe

Rangers stars under 5.5. But maybe wait to be sure it’s shesterkin in net for NY
First Saturday of the season that I don’t like much at noon, Fired small ND even and penn State +15 1/2
-Allergic to the struggle

Penn state picked off twice in the first 5 minutes, Could be a long day in happy valley. Update penn state seems to be playing hard but as the old saying goes” Sometimes your best isn’t good enough “

Baylor over TTU, and the over, neither team plays defense.
I’m on the wrong side of this ND game barring a miracle. Glad most of you are the other way. Horribly coached game both ways. ND was dominating LOS and had 7 offensive points and caught a break the other guy was more retarded going for it. This game is setting back the black coaches association 20 years.
And for the first time in this years market we have a new player T the head of the Heisman market
Wow, I just had probably the worst beat of the year. I have W Virginia +7.5.
TCU is up 3 and has 4th and 3 at the W Virginia 35 with about 20 seconds left. W Virgina defender is offsides pre snap, so no matter what happens TCU is getting the first down and kneel down and game over. I only lose IF TCU scores a TD on the play, and they do.
So sick.
Had a good week last week. I guess this is where the wheels come off, everything goes against me, and I get buried.
