Didn’t see this going yet.

How I plan on flushing my money down the toilet in week 0:

NMSU v UTEP:  U59 

Nebraska -7 @ Illinois  &  U27.5 1H

Fresno State -16.5 1H v UConn 

UCLA -10 1H v Hawaii 

What y’all got?

Added UTEP -9.5 and ended up 5-1 on the day.  It is surely only down hill from here.

kinda liking ucf -5 on thursday.  they should be able to score plenty and boise is breaking in a first time head coach.

Baylor vs Texas State line is only -13.5.  Texas State gave up close to 500 a game last year.  I think Baylor should cover pretty easily.

NEB @ ILL U55 -115

UConn @ Fresno O62.5 -115

Hawaii +18 -120

Good call on #3.

UCLA is only a 3.5 dog to LSU.  Unless DTR can pull his head out of his ass, I would be inclined lay the points.

Lines I'm liking at first glance... tell me why I'm an idiot on these before I place them.

UTSA +6 @ Illinois   (UTSA returning 21 starters from a team that was within a TD of very good BYU and Louisiana teams last year)

OU -16.5 1H v Tulane (was supposed to played in LA but now in OK)

Arkansas -20 v Rice  (doesn't feel like enough points)

U60 Tennessee v Bowling Green  (mass exodus of talent out of Knoxville and BG was dead last in scoring per possession last season).

Interesting. Hadn't looked at that one. 

I like U66 in UCLA LSU. I only half watched the Hawaii game, but it seemed like Hawaii was terrible and gifted UCLA some points. I also don't see LSU's offense tearing it up on game 1 opening on the road. 

Feels like a 27-24 kind of game instead of 35-31.

Hoping Texas keeps dropping

BGSU @ TENN Under 61.5 -110 (h/t @40acredropout)

KSU -135

MRSH -2.5 -110

MRSH -130

HOU +2 -109

HOU +105

UCLA +140

LOU +10.5 -110

Will likely be adding Wake Forest 1H against Old Dominion when my book comes out with half lines.  Full game is at 31.5, as long as it's 16.5 or less I'll jump on it.

Old Dominion is another school who sat out 2020 and only won one game in 2019. 

Wake Forest returns all 11 starters on what was a ~top 50 offense and also 10 starters back on what was an admittedly meh defense.  

What you guys use to place bets?

I got VPN to be anywhere I need but I donno about putting a fake address. In the past I've done overseas betting with bitcoin and shit but there's gotta be an easier legalish way.

I like the UCLA 27- LSU 24 better too. 

Line dropped to LSU -2.5.  If forced to bet that, I'd probably lay the points.

PM'ed you.

I could use that info too. I totally forgot my 5dimes is dead. I didn't gamble last year because of the Rona and I figured that would make my wagering even less successful than normal. 

Got a local that has a online website, pays every week, various ways to get payment however you want, ect.  It’s been a easy to use on time service, plus I get a referral bonus so pm me for info.

One more play I'm liking.

Mississippi State v. Louisiana Tech O52.5

  • Neither was very productive last year (109 and 107 in points per drive, respectively)
  • Note La Tech ranked 32 in PPD in 2019 but in 2020 was breaking in 3 new linemen, a new QB and a new OC 
  • They both air it the fuck out (1st and 25th in pass rate in 2020)
  • Both return 8 starters (including QB) on offense
  • I believe Pirate's offense takes a big step forward with a couple of transfers at receiver / a year under his belt with existing roster.

 

are we doing a Texas game prediction contest this year and did I miss it?

Also - anyone have a Houston book I can leverage? My bovada account hasn't worked in over a year.

Seeing 19.5. Kind of dicey. 

I hate betting week 1 but I'm only on Michigan v. W. Michigan U66.  Nothing else really jumps out at me but I also suck at betting.

Bovada and mybookie are easy to use so I go between the two and I’ve never used bitcoin.  
 

 

Usc -14 vs Effin starkel. I really like the usc qb Slovis. Throws a fantastic deep ball.

And Tx by 8 bc why not.

Wisconsin -5.5

K state -3 

Texas -8.5

Baylor -13.5 Texas State gave up close to 500 yards passing a game last year. 

Curious about UNI covering. 4 touchdowns is a lot.

Added Horns -8.5 late also.  2-0 today.

What's everyone think about Ole Miss-Louisville U76?  That's a lot of points for opening week when offenses usually start rusty.  Plus no Kiffin on the sidelines.

Anybody watch the last 3-4 minutes of the aggy-Kent St. game? Line was aggy by around 28.5-29.5. With under 5 minutes and the score at 41-10 aggy, KSU tries a field goal. Down by 31 and they try a fucking field goal. Think that coach didn't take the points, and/or have some BMD's who did? Then, to make matters worse, the dumb-fuck aggy QB throws an interception with about a minute to go. Throws a fucking interception. And guess what? KSU runs three plays and, still down by 31, calls a timeout at :02 and tries another fucking field goal. That shit just ain't right. Thank the betting gods, the silly son of a bitch missed them both. Karma's a bitch sometimes. I had aggy -28.5 so fortunately for me this was one of those times. Jesus, why do I do this shit? 

had a good day yesterday. (thanks for talking me in to Texas -8.5 @Hook1997).

gonna go over 54 on ND-FSU tonight.

Took ND -7

Does anyone or has hired one of those pick services?   Wanted to see y’all’s experiences with that.  I had one in college during basketball season I think it was like $100 for the season promotion.  Guy went like 10 out of 11 and then wanted more money and I had only been betting like $20 a game when he had told me to do more.  Didn’t have the $800 he wanted but he gave one more pick then I was supposed to pay the next day so I went all in and lost, ended my gambling for a while.  

Edited by Hook1997

Went ahead and took Ole Miss/Lou U75.5.

Already locked in some week 2 bets:

-Iowa + 3.5 v. ISU

-Colo +17 v. aggy

-Horns -6

Yeah Iowa looks like ez money

Thats how it goes lol. I've stopped letting anyone's opinions get in my head and just go with my gut. Nothing worse than going against your gut and losing lol.

If anything I do the opposite of what some guys say because they are always fucking wrong. A bunch of people who aren't plugged into Texas FB had us losing outright or not beating the spread. People go off their opinion of what we've been for the last 3 years without looking at some important shit. New QB, new coarchs, ect..

Wow… went 5-0 this week to bring me to 10-1 on year.  Better to be (very) lucky than good.  I wish I was younger and still adding parlaying my weekly picks.

Parlaying is a young man's game?

Congrats!

I would never touch the Cy Hawk game. Those results never seem to make any sense. 

Iowa was majorly boosted by two pick 6s, both score and forcing ind to be one dimensional catching up. On offense if you take away their 55 yd td run they were 3.3 ypp, not great at all.

Isu didn’t play poorly, held uni to 2ypc, slow pace game with both teams only running 60 plays. Purdy was very sharp 21-26. Isu just couldn’t finish drives.

Some books are up to 4’ and even 5 now.

Oh well I took Iowa outright because it was +150 and seems like ISU is a paper tiger this year.

Although I didn't watch either game lol good to know above glad I didn't sell a kidney

Anyone got anything for tonight’s game?  Not much to really like to take I don’t think.

Iowa also played a pretty good IU team while ISU played a pretty good FCS team.  Not completely apples to apples but I see your point.  It just always seems ISU chokes in this game.
