    Don't get shut out.

    Atlanta at Phoenix - Over 228.5 (229 ok)
    Dallas -7.5 at New York
    this is grunching a little bit, but on a day with an NFL game and 2 CFB games, calling NBA games between mostly small market and/or bad NBA teams public, might be stretching the definition of the term a little.

    I have run good the last few weeks not posting picks. So this is probably a bad idea.

    Buffalo -5.5
    NC +4

    Actually bought out of the Buffalo bet at halftime when I took Kent St +2.5. Saw the way that one was gonna go.

    UNC was down 3 (covering) and made a last second FG to tie it, which means they will lose by 6 or 7 in OT, because that is how these things work.

    Sigh.

    Edit: Pitt even has the ball first, which is setting up perfect for UNC to lose by 7. Awesome.

    How does an okayish team like Dallas lose TWICE to the awful Knicks?

    Unbelievable.

    At least the Atlanta over covered easily.

    I think this is actually going to work out ok for Garrett.

    The season is lost anyways. He will get suspended for the rest of season probably and cost the Browns a couple games, but whatever. He is still on rookie deal so the money he will lose is chump change compared to what his next contract will give him. So when you factor in him not having to play the rest of the season and not having to fade a career threatening injury before his next contract, doesn't even lose too much EV wise.

    Also, their coach sucks, so Garrett not playing the rest of the season, along with the black mark on the coach for lack of control (a common theme with the Browns this year) will mitigate the chance they finish the season strong and keep him.

    I guess the only thing that sucks is that he is going to be playing the Steelers 2+ games/year for the foreseeable future so I guess he has to worry about cheap shots at his knees more going forward.

    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    Gonna take LTech +7 at whatever price I can get. The line keeps moving closer to 7, so waiting on it.

    Obviously if you want Marshall you should probably take it ASAP.

    *Sigh* Smart $ has been on Marshall. So of course I bet LTech earlier in the week at +2.5. My luck.

    You bet a game at +2.5 that closed at 6.5?? That is some serious taking the worst of it.

    GL.

    Took O44.5 for Fresno St game.

    This is why we can’t have nice things.

    Bears repeating that there is very rarely free money in any of this. It’s ok just to “really like” a game and be wrong every now and again.

    So I should be backing up the $$ truck on Ohio St -52.5?

    But yeah, books are definitely aware this is going on and some of these lines are insane against the bad teams. Northweser -41? That is more points than their last 5 games combined. LOL.

    I’m on NW -26 1H. Zoo Mass is a D III team masquerading as a D1 team.

    I also jumped into OU -9.5. I think the party is over for Baylor tonight.

    Cinci, Navy, LSU and Bama as well.

    GL today

    So far:

    Temple +6
    Indiana +14.5
    Michigan -13.5
    Wake Forest/Clemson O59.5
    UCLA +21.5
    Ohio St 1H -31.5
    UMASS/NW 1H O33
    Oklahoma 1H -6.5 (trying to get ahead of the trend of them getting up big and 4th Q collapse)
