College Picks.....

[Liar]

Not sure if anyone cares, but like I said in a previous post, I am on fire for college football games. I LOVE this upcoming week. I currently have 5 parlays outstanding and another 10 individual bets that I like. If anyone has any games they are wondering about I would be happy to give my opinion. Again, this is just an opinion so please don't rely on me make you money! I don't want to be responsible for anything!!!!

[redandpewter55]

Tell me about Georgia/Vanderbilt :lollol:

[Liar]

UGLY! don't touch it. Spread is to high. I think Georgia will win by 7-10, but won't cover, just like almost every game they have played this year. Vandy's offense is terrible. They should play harder this weekend after that embarrassing loss last weekend. Either way, I would stay away from this game.

Alabama -13.5 vs. Ole Miss?

I think we cover :secret:

[Liar]

Alabama -13.5 vs. Ole Miss?

I think we cover :secret:

I think you are going to hate me.....
Bama hasn't had a true test. I know what you're thinking....Georgia, Clemson, etc.

Bama had an amazing game plan against Georgia. They made them look pathetic. The lack of closing in the second half was questionable. The real tell is going to be that Kentucky game. Kentucky exposed quite a bit and the fact that 'Bama couldn't walk away with it even after the quick start worries me. I'm not going to say that 'Bama is going to lose, however, 13.5 is high. I look for 'Bama to sneak past. This game will probably give the country their best look at if 'Bama is for real. Living so close to Abalama I get to listen to a lot of the homers around here who think this is the greatest team on turf. I give Saban a ton of credit for a remarkable turn around, however, I haven't fully bought into them.
I say take 'Ole Miss and the points. This is another game that I don't like at all. I could be way off, but I just think 'Ole Miss will give them everything they can handle and I look for a similar game as Kentucky vs 'Bama.

The UK game was an odd game for us....we dominated them and had the game in control for pretty much the entire game (just not reflected on the score board). There were some questionable/downright putrid calls that went against us (phantom holdings, a phantom offensive pass interference, and an illegal man down field called when the guy didn't cross the LOS :doh: ).

I'm not particularly impressed with Snead, and Ole Miss gives up a ton of points.

So at what point do we face a "real" test? If going on the road against the #3 ranked team in the country where they were all wearing the same color and broke out some fancy-ass shirts doesn't count, I don't know what is :snooty:

I'm not saying the Georgia game wasn't impressive. I just think that Georgia was over rated, and 'bama had a great game plan to counteract them. Georgia penalties hurt. The quick start took the crowd out and the rest was history!
First test and probably the only test will be LSU. I think LSU matches up extremely well against 'bama. That will be a painful game to watch because there will be very little scoring.
Beyond that, I think the rest of the schedule plays out well for them. Auburn is obviously crap, as is Tennessee.
Still sticking by this being a close game and 13.5 being to high. 'Ole Miss and the points, but I wouldn't put money on it!

[Liar]

one more reason i don't like that game.....

giving Saban two weeks to prepare for a game is never good for the opponent.

How is it that no one is asking about other games that I like! You are all just asking about games I HATE!

Rexy will yell at me for saying this, but I have not been impressed with LSU this season. They lack that nasty mentality on the lines that they were known for, have problems at QB, and their secondary.....well, their secondary let awbern move on them a bit. Of course, some of their problems can be corrected, but as of now I think we go down to LSU and win (thank you 2:30 kickoff time!).

But while they are the best team remaining on the schedule, and I do think we win that game, I do not think there is a chance of us finishing undefeated. Too many land mines to dodge....but I do think we win the West.

totally agree with you on LSU. They looked terrible against Florida. It was odd to watch that game (which I had a ton of money on LSU) and expect them to NOT complete passes and not move the ball. The longer they played the more shocked I was. Granted their QB issues were a factor, but where did their D go? That Florida team lost to Ole Miss and was in a battle with a mediocre Miami team until the 4th.
I liked selecting LSU and getting points, but man, what a mistake!

[bamasa37sb34]

Just to humor you....a Texas coming off a huge win vs. a pissed off Mizzou....and fill me in on what the line is:salut:

[Liar]

Just to humor you....a Texas coming off a huge win vs. a pissed off Mizzou....and fill me in on what the line is:salut:

lined started at Mizzou +7, but has since dropped to +6.5

I like Mizzou. Texas has historically struggled coming off the Red River Rivalry. Mizzou looked as though they were looking past OK St. Mizzou has nothing to lose. I took Mizzou and the points. was hoping to see the line more a little more in my favor, but its moving the opposite way. It will be interesting to see where this line is at before kick off.

Georgia overrated? :doh:

We have played 1 half of bad (horrible really) football and now we are overrated. I like it. Seriously. We play better when everyone says we can't do it. If Georgia can fix the penalty problem (it is getting better) and can pick it up on the O-Line (showed good things on the final drive against Tennessee), watch out! I want a rematch with Alabama in Atlanta. :shifty: I wouldn't be shocked if we cover against Vanderbilt. We have a much better defense than Mississippi State and our offense is on another level.

I was waiting for your response to that. here is my logic.
1.) this team was hyped more then almost every team in the country. From the end of last season until a few weeks ago, Georgia was hailed as the best team in the land. That stigma is hard to live up too
2.) Injuries. Currently 14 players injured/suspended. of those 11 are out for the year. I'm sure you know better then I the players on that list that will actually be missed.
3.) South Carolina game. SC is a decent team, but to only win by a TD is rough
4.) Lack of dominating victories. With the exception of the first two cupcakes, Georgia hasn't had a solid victory
5.) Tennessee game was UGLY. Tennessee is like an ACC team. This should have never been close. I kept thinking GA was going to walk away from them, but it never happened.

This will probably piss most everyone off who likes the SEC, but I personally think the Big 12 is a better/equal conference to the SEC. If I were a coach I would rather challenge GA, 'Bama, LSU, Auburn or Florida as opposed to OU, Texas, Mizzou, or possibly Texas Tech. Please don't shoot me!

not only do you have a better defense then Miss St. you have better players all around. Comparing GA and Miss St. isn't fair. The caliber guys that go to GA are on a whole different level then Miss. St. The fact that Miss St. beat Vandy showed quite a bit. Vandy was obviously overrated as well.

1. We did get a lot of hype at the end of the year and over the summer, but it all went away after USC went on the road and beat Virginia. At the end of last year, we could have beat anyone, anywhere. We deserved the hype at the end of the year last season.

2. As for the injuries and suspensions. Nobody is suspended. The two that were have been kicked off the team. Everyone knew that would happen, but they didn't know when it would happen. The injuries are up there, but I don't know about 14. Trinton Sturdivant, Vince Vance, Mike Washington and Jeff Owens are the big injuries (out for the year). Everyone else is fine and will play this week except for Chris Durham (6th string WR) and Tripp Chandler (the guy who can't catch to save his life).

3. South Carolina game is always close in this series. Go look at all the past game. I don't know why, put these teams always play a physical, low scoring game.

4. Coach Richt will never try to blow someone out. He says it over and over again. Once he gets the lead he goes into his "preserve the lead" mode. :doh:

5. The Tennessee game wasn't even close. We dominated every aspect of the game. Game could have easily been 40-14 (or less), but the refs blew a few calls. One on the defensive holding in the end zone. It should have been 1st down, but they kept it 3rd down. We had to kick a field goal.


The Big 12 doesn't know how to play defense.

[redandpewter55]

Also, Tennessee had the #5 ranked defense in the country coming into the Georgia game. Georgia put up over 450 yards of offense on them and held the ball for 3/4 of the game.

[redandpewter55]

not only do you have a better defense then Miss St. you have better players all around. Comparing GA and Miss St. isn't fair. The caliber guys that go to GA are on a whole different level then Miss. St. The fact that Miss St. beat Vandy showed quite a bit. Vandy was obviously overrated as well.
I was just comparing what Miss. St. did to Vandy to what we SHOULD be capable of doing.

1. We did get a lot of hype at the end of the year and over the summer, but it all went away after USC went on the road and beat Virginia. At the end of last year, we could have beat anyone, anywhere. We deserved the hype at the end of the year last season.Totally agree about the end of last year. Totally disagree on the hype disappearing after USC/Virgina beat down. At that point Georgia was still supposed to win the SEC (difficult task I know). With the talent coming back Georgia should have been ranked #1. but in my opinion (and after half the season) I think they are overrated. I think the same of 'bama. This weekend should be a good tell for both clubs.

2. As for the injuries and suspensions. Nobody is suspended. The two that were have been kicked off the team. Everyone knew that would happen, but they didn't know when it would happen. The injuries are up there, but I don't know about 14. Trinton Sturdivant, Vince Vance, Mike Washington and Jeff Owens are the big injuries (out for the year). Everyone else is fine and will play this week except for Chris Durham (6th string WR) and Tripp Chandler (the guy who can't catch to save his life). 4 big injuries totally can change the outlook of a team. how dominate would they be if they were all healthy?

3. South Carolina game is always close in this series. Go look at all the past game. I don't know why, put these teams always play a physical, low scoring game. Totally agree. In fact, I think LSU has a great chance of losing to them this weekend.

4. Coach Richt will never try to blow someone out. He says it over and over again. Once he gets the lead he goes into his "preserve the lead" mode. :doh: I agree that he doesn't try to blow teams out, but winning by 10 isn't convincing. Winning by 21 isn't really a blowout anymore. If they are truly to be thought of as a top 10 or top 5 team you would think they would have at least 1 convincing victory

5. The Tennessee game wasn't even close. We dominated every aspect of the game. Game could have easily been 40-14 (or less), but the refs blew a few calls. One on the defensive holding in the end zone. It should have been 1st down, but they kept it 3rd down. We had to kick a field goal. I watched the majority of the game. That is why I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop and Georgia to put it out of reach. that never happened. Regardless of Richt not wanting to blow them out, he never had that game in enough control to let his foot off the gas.


The Big 12 doesn't know how to play defense.Agreed, but I would put any of the ones I listed (except maybe Tech) up against the SEC teams I listed and expect the Big 12 team to come out on top.

As for UGA still being expected to win the SEC. At the SEC Media Day, EVERYONE picked Florida to win it. #1 team in the country (for one week), but picked to lose their conference. Explain that one to me. :roflmao:

We would probably be unstoppable if those 4 guys weren't injured, but to suggest that we are done because of that is crazy. UGA brings in top 10 recruiting classes every year. We can handle it.

whoa.....never said they were "done." they are still a great team. I just think the #1 ranking was high. I think preseason rankings are stupid and a waste of time. if anything the rankings hurt teams. ie. Clemson.
I just think Georgia really has to turn it on if they want to get close to the Georgia Dome in a few weeks.

Texas Tech @ Texas A&M (Tech -21)

California @ Arizona (Cal -2)

Arizona still hasn't beaten anyone with a pulse, but is tough at home against ranked opponents. Cal can't decide on a QB. Texas Tech can score at will, but they didn't close out Nebraska very well last week.

I got Tech at -20.5. I think last weekend was a fluke with Nebraska. A&M has struggled this year with mediocre teams. Take Tech and give up the points

Cal is coming on strong. Started the season a little sluggish, but I like them now. Earlier this year I lost a ton when they came out and played like crap. I'm back on the bandwagon. Take Cal and give up the points.

[Liar]

What are your thoughts on Clemson vs. GT?

I do not even know the spread. What is it?

Interesting game. Spread started at Clemson -2, last I checked it was Clemson +2. I am still kicking myself for not getting in when it was at -2! Obviously the coaching change at this stage of the game is going to have an effect. GA Tech last week didn't show Clemson anything. It was clear that Tech was looking past Garner Webb. Expect to see a totally different Tech team. However, I think the coaching change will ultimately help Clemson, but not in this game. It will take a week or two for them to get going. I like Ga Tech -2. Should be a good game though!

[redandpewter55]

I'd take Georgia Tech -10. :salut:

I have not checked the box score yet, but from what I head, GT was palying its 3rd string QB since the top two were banged up and resting for Clemson. I would not read too much into Gardner Webb

Exactly. That game not a good indication of what they will bring on Saturday. That spread will probably get up to -3.5 or -4 by game time.

[T.J.]

Here's my Saturday plays:

Wake Forest -2.5
Oklahoma State -17
Kansas State +3.5
South Florida -24
South Florida/Syracuse UNDER 50
Wisconsin +4
Ohio State -3
Penn State -24.5
USC -42.5
UCLA +2.5
Oregon State -16
Arizona +2.5
Kentucky -7
San Jose State -2.5
Connecticut -1 (It's a win/win for me, I'll be at the game)
Georgia Tech -2
Ole Miss +13.5
Troy -8


Hopefully gonna be a productive day for me. Good luck.

[T.J.]

Don't want to edit so people don't think I changed picks but I'm also adding:

USCe +3 vs. LSU

[Liar]

even though the games are half done, i'll post a few of my picks

Wisc +4 (lost)
Wake -2 (lost)
Akron -4.5 (won)
USC over 58 (won)
Neb -7.5 (won)
Northwestern -4 (won)
Texas Tech -20.5 (lost)
Ga Tech -2 (won)
Miami -3 (won)
Troy -8 (pending)
Troy over 45 (pending)
Ohio St. -3.5 (won)
Pitt -2.5 (won)
N. Carolina -4 (lost)
Utah +21.5 (won)
Michigan +24.5 (lost)

[T.J.]

I'm pretty much even right now, 4 and 4 because I also called in the over in the Duke Miami game while I was at the Rutgers game.

Might call and add North Texas soon.

[T.J.]

Just called and added N. Texas +18.5

[Liar]

UGLY! don't touch it. Spread is to high. I think Georgia will win by 7-10, but won't cover, just like almost every game they have played this year. Vandy's offense is terrible. They should play harder this weekend after that embarrassing loss last weekend. Either way, I would stay away from this game.

quoted my own post for truth! haha

[Liar]

I think you are going to hate me.....
Bama hasn't had a true test. I know what you're thinking....Georgia, Clemson, etc.

Bama had an amazing game plan against Georgia. They made them look pathetic. The lack of closing in the second half was questionable. The real tell is going to be that Kentucky game. Kentucky exposed quite a bit and the fact that 'Bama couldn't walk away with it even after the quick start worries me. I'm not going to say that 'Bama is going to lose, however, 13.5 is high. I look for 'Bama to sneak past. This game will probably give the country their best look at if 'Bama is for real. Living so close to Abalama I get to listen to a lot of the homers around here who think this is the greatest team on turf. I give Saban a ton of credit for a remarkable turn around, however, I haven't fully bought into them.
I say take 'Ole Miss and the points. This is another game that I don't like at all. I could be way off, but I just think 'Ole Miss will give them everything they can handle and I look for a similar game as Kentucky vs 'Bama.

I heart myself!

[T.J.]

Don't get too cocky lol.

I've been on hot streaks that were unbelievable and then just like that I went on equally COLD streaks.

[Liar]

Early spread is UGA +1.5

Tell me what you think. Both the game and the spread.

Where did you get the early spread?

I think this will be a toss up game. Both teams are going to struggle to put points on the board. LSU finally looked decent toward the end of the SC game. Georgia moved the ball better the I thought they would against Vandy.
Late field goal gives Georgia a victory. UGLY game, low score. Georgia defense gives LSU fits. Final Score 13-10 Georgia.
***As the week goes on, I will update this as my opinion might change. I usually do a lot of research on Mondays and then start picking teams Monday night. :)

Come on, just one more.

USC @ Arizona

USC -16 (early line)

USC comes off a giant beating of WSU, who is the worst team ever. Arizona, true to form on Saturday, is still tough against ranked opponents at home. It is their homecoming game, where their win % since 2005 is immaculate.

Thoughts?

[Liar]

Thoughts on Alabama (-5) against the viles?

'Bama is the better team. Tennessee looked good yesterday, but I don't think they have the fire power on offense to hang with 'bama. The 'ole miss game once again showed a lack of closing though. I figured the Georgia second half was because it was such a blowout. yesterday was just a lack of execution. I think 'ole miss is a better team then Tennessee.
With all of that being said, it is still a rivalry game. so anything could happen.

I like 'Bama to cover

[Liar]

Come on, just one more.

USC @ Arizona

USC -16 (early line)

USC comes off a giant beating of WSU, who is the worst team ever. Arizona, true to form on Saturday, is still tough against ranked opponents at home. It is their homecoming game, where their win % since 2005 is immaculate.

Thoughts?

Just because you asked about this, there is no way I will put money on it now. I probably would have before.......
I like USC to win and win big. Arizona absolutely dominated the second half yesterday. Cal is a good team, but no USC. USC still has that outside chance at a national title and need convincing victories. I like USC by 3 TD's.
WSU was just a scrimmage for them to get ready for Arizona. WSU is quite possibly the worst PAC-10 team ever.

'Bama is the better team. Tennessee looked good yesterday, but I don't think they have the fire power on offense to hang with 'bama. The 'ole miss game once again showed a lack of closing though.

I thought the 2nd half play calling was bad, and Cody's injury really took a lot out of the defense. UT's rushing offense is pretty bad and Chapman will be able to step in and do fine in Cody's absence. It's who comes in AFTER Chapman that will be a bit nerve wracking, though Nick Gentry did get some pressure on Snead when he came in. Our lack of closing is starting to be a bit worrisome, would love to see us finish a damn game for a change.

Wow I had an awesome weekend in college, I think it was 16-5-1 or something.

I was originally nervous for making so many plays, then I lost like 3 out of my first 4 of the day and was ready to kick the stool. Then I went 15-2 the rest of the day or something, awesome day.

Got so lucky with Penn State and UCLA.

[Liar]

Why LSU -2?

[Liar]

Why LSU -2?

I think Georgia is to beat up. Not to mention LSU at home is always hard to go against. I personally won't put any money on the game, but still think LSU will cover. Moreno is going to be the key to the game for Georgia to have a chance. Stafford is a great QB, but I think LSU will put a ton of pressure on him and he'll make a few mistakes.
Isn't Georgia down to just a few linebackers? I also thought I saw that their D-line is beat up. Georgia can't let Lee get comfortable, he is bad enough when he has time, so putting pressure on him should make him TERRIBLE. With all that said, I think LSU squeaks past and wins 13-10. Sorry :(
:ban:

From what I hear, Akeem Hebron (LB) dislocated his ankle in practice yesterday (should know more later tonight). If Ellerbe can't go, that leaves us with 5 LBs for the LSU game. The defensive line is only beat up in terms of Jeff Owens being out for year and Brandon Wood (3rd string DT) being suspended. Kade Weston should be back from injury. The LB situation scares me as well. :( Even with Ellerbe, we only have 6 LBs for the rest of the season.

should be an interesting game. wish i could watch it. have to go to the girlfriends parents.....:ban::ban::ban::ban::ban::ban::ban::ban:

total confusion on this game......if i had to choose, I guess I'd take Colorado +22. That spread is huge for a conference game. But, that is honestly just a guess. :ban:

I lost both! WOW, New Mexico had them on the ropes, up by 10, about to punch it in and they fumble. Then they laid down and got hammered. Bad start going into the weekend

Glad I saved ya a couple bucks by jinxing the game. Too bad I couldn't change the outcome. :(

Florida/Georgia :pop:
:pop::pop:

[Liar]

:pop::pop:

even though it means nothing now, I had predicted Florida by 3 TD's. I won big on that game last weekend......beyond that my hot streak has gone cold. :(

[T.J.]

I had Wisconsin big and hit there, then put that amount on Texas later that night.

We know how that went.

[Liar]

just so I can have it in writing.....
#1,#2 and possibly #3 will all fall this weekend.....you heard it here first!
