Im tired of looking all over for some good conversation about the bets going on during the week. This thread is for that. Lets talk about the games, the spreads, and what we think. I just want some good insight into some games by some people I kinda know. Not some strangers on some random board. Lets try to keep this going, it could be very good to those of us who do bet on sports. As of NOW, the good lines I see are....

Falcons -6 vs Saints
Navy -12.5 vs Kent St.
Oklahoma -7 vs Kansas
Texas Tech -15.5 vs Kansas St
UGA -16.5 vs Vandy....I really want to take Vandy on this one, just because they alway play UGA tough at home, but being a lifelong Dawgs fan, I just cant....and we have Shockley. Dawgs win!
UCLA -5.5 vs Washington State...come on, the #12 ranked team who is 5-0 vs a 3-2 conference foe....and after UCLAs win last week, this has to be the best sure win of the weekend.
Auburn -7.5 vs Arkansas My other sure winner for the weekend. Just cant see the 4-1 tigers losing to the 2-3 Razorbacks by more than 8pts or more.
WVU beating Lousville striaght up on the money line. WVU win no spread, which is +7. Moneyline bet[pays over 3-1 right now] At home, I think WV can pull off the upset to the overrrated LU team who lost to USF earlier in the year.
Miami -41 vs Temple 41 pts is ALOT, but Temple is 0-6, and Miami is well....Miami.
NY Giants +3.5 vs Cowboys.... I will take the NFLs highest scoring offense with points any day.
Chargers -2.5 vs Raiders....Even Moss and the home field advantage can't offset Brees and Tomlinson

Thats what I have. Argue, chat, make your own suggestions.

Hell yeah, even that^! Its almost a joke what some of the lines are this week. Detroit SUCKS ass, and they are only -1 against a Panthers team who beat the Patriots. I will bet all I have on that one. Well not all......but ALOT!

I hope you know -7.5 means they have to WIN by 8 or more to cover, not lose

Otherwise your credibility is gone

a fool and his money...

you should be betting over on the over/under for the USC/Notre Dame game. it's only 46 points, which I think is incredibly low. USC averages more than that by themselves every week, and the Notre Dame secondary is weak.

the giants are going to lose their high scoring trend this weekend.

UCLA always manages to lose to Washington St. for some reason when they shouldn't.

West Virginia won't be able to keep up in a shootout with Louisville, and USF isn't as weak as you may make them out to be.

I think Auburn will lose to Arkansas, but not by more than about 3 points or so.

Where hell are you getting this shit? You couldnt be more wrong! The over/under has shifted between 70 and 72 this week, nowhere near 46. Are you just making your figures up?

I think the lines I picked are going to turn out very well. But damn, its "gambling" I if I was right all the time I would be a millionaire in Vegas. Thats the point of this thread, to help us sports gamblers get there. AS far as the over unders, I dont do those, I have here and there, but as a whole, I never do. I prefer the points. Or the lack of said points.

San Diego -2.5 is going to be money...I wouldn't touch the Giants game, or the Falcons game (I would actually go with NO+6 in San Antonio to rebound from last weeks embarrassment)

this link must be old, because it's listing the O/U at 44-46 across the board.

its not old as much as it is wrong. To be 25 points off the correct line is just bizarre. It it was 46, no one in thier right mind would hit the under

Car +1 @ Detroit surprises me... the panthers have played really poorly thus far but Detroit flat out stinks... i cant believe the line is there... i think its about right, but i cant believe the public isnt hammering Carolina

the detroit secondary is getting a lot of picks this year, and Delhomme still doesn't seem to be throwing anything with accuracy. I think that homefield advantage is going to make the Carolina offense that much worse, and for that reason the +1 is probably about right.

I did a teaser tonight (those are my favorites). It was really a no-brainer. Seattle had to win by 2 and they had to score more than 37.5 combined. I risked $120 to win $100, but I'll take that bet anyday.

Not too bad, I took Seattle -9 at -110. Who are you guys liking tonight on MNF? Indy is -13.5 and the o/u is 52.

Im thinking taking the Colts and the under.

hard to gauge

the Colts are a running team first this year and thats the one thing STL doesnt suck at...

If they open up the passing attack tonite they will blow the Rams out, but thus far theyve been content with running and letting their defense carry them.

One thing is for sure, Freeney will cause big problems for Bulger and he will turn the ball over 2-3 times...

I think Reggie Wayne catches 8-9 balls tonite and the colts win easily.... id be worried about laying 13.5 though cause of potential padders at the end. teams always seem to forge better comeback attempts on MNF

I'm thinking of doing a teaser tonight and taking Indy at -6.5 and the over at 44.5. I don't feel super comfortable so I'm only gonna bet $50, but teasers are so great, because you could potentially pick any combination and still win. Hell, you could tease both scoring lines, the over, and the under and win them all.

Washington/San Fran: Over 30

Dallas/Seattle: Over 38.5

Tennessee/Arizona: Over 38

Denver/NYG: Over 40

Falcons/Jets: Over 33.5

PS: I NEVER bet the under.

Oh well... 7 of 9 isn't bad at all. I made quite a bit of $$ teasing this weekend, woulda made a whole lot more. I put up $50 to win $250 on a 6 team teaser. 5 of them came worked out, but Dallas and Seattle decided they didn't like scoring points so I lost. I didn't bet on Arizona/Tennessee... I don't even know what possessed me to put that one up there.

I do 7 point teasers, which don't pay quite as good as the 6 or 6.5 point ones (of course).

"I really like Fresno State tonight. Bought 1 point. Line has moved from 9 1/2 down to 8, which means there is a lot of people on Boise. Rule of thumb, when 80% of public goes one way....you should go the opposite. Fresno ranked 21st and has really balanced offense. Boise is good but QB has thrown a lot of INT's. Fresno protects the ball.
I also like the over.

Fresno -7
Over 61

I have been on the best win streak of my life the last 2 months. Up 1,700 including 8-team parlay. I think I am getting better as well as just luck factored in. I know I could get cold anytime, just riding out the hot streak w/o going crazy on something that looks really good. Got an easy win last night with W Virginia.

"



To quote from another thread..


I took the teaser down to FSU -3 Over 55 on the FSU, Boise State game tonite.

I'm 2-0 so far this week. West Virginia and Fresno State have put me up about $250.

I'm not going to share all my picks for free, but I like South Florida, Florida State and Texas A&M.

It's a great weekend for taking the points. Northwestern getting 18.5, Cal getting 18.5 at home and Kansas, who has one of the best defenses in the nation, is +34 against Texas.

It's gonna be another settle-up weekend.
