There's a good chance I'm addicted.
It seems like I'm always looking for the next bet. LOL
It's gambling but gambling in a way I can look at numbers. I'd never sit at a slot machine because that to me is just random luck.
My first bet I ever made was more on emotion, that was a mistake.
Now it's all about the numbers.
Anyways, I just placed a bet for Miami tonight. Just the ML so not a huge payoff but it's still fun.

Welp, Dallas -5 was a push, so Vegas only gets the money from those that bet it when it was briefly -6.
A Push though is not a loss!
So that means on to Saturday!
Obviously there's gonna be a TON of options, but what is 1 pick that most of us can agree on is the best bet to play Saturday?
*(Also a reminder, it doesn't have to be just CFB even though we'll all be betting it. If someone can convince us that let's say Columbus Crew +130 ML is the best play of Saturday, then that's what we'll roll with in this challenge.)

Amen to that!
I'm now on a 7-0 streak.
Not including F'N Kelsey Mitchell's late layup to make it a PUSH.
Hmmm. I just listened to somebody that doesn’t like the Texans at all. He has the Jaguars plus the points as his best bet for the week.
It is Steve Fezick who has won plenty of big money contests over the years.
Any good details from him on the game? Tough bet.
FYI - the Jags pro bowl TE is most likely not going to play.
Well, I like the Texans because of their coach.
He has a power rankings that list the Texans 15th in the league. Just feels they are not playing well. Thinks the Jags will be able to move the ball on them. Sorry no real details as I was working on something att the same time. Bad habit.
I quickly identified that game as one I have zero interest in this weekend. I was fortunate to hammer the Bills on Monday night after everyone and their dog was on the Jags. That said, Texans destroyed me on Sunday. Not trusting either team at this point.
NIU catching 7.5 points at NC St is tempting. Wolfpack have looked terrible. Their starting LT is suspended & the starting QBs status is up in the air.Welp, Dallas -5 was a push, so Vegas only gets the money from those that bet it when it was briefly -6.

I've been hot to start the year, so proceed w caution as the worm will eventually turn lol.
I really want to take Rutgers tonight as they've been good to me this year. But man, they're Rutgers you know? Can they really get to 4-0?
I see at Caesars you can get the 49ers at plus money to win their division. +110.
They have been -200 to -250 since May.

Tommy Lasorda would say during the MLB season there are 40 games you are just plain going to win. Everything goes your way. Then there are 40 you are going to lose because everything goes wrong. It is what you do during the other 82 games that determines how your season goes.
The same has to be true in the NFL or NBA.
Last week everything just went wrong for the Texans in my opinion.
The 2024 White Sox beg to differ w Tommy 🤣
Two top plays for tomorrow
Nebraska bought down to -9.5. I think they win by 30.
UNDER 49.5 UGA/ BAMA

Also +7.5 Northern Illinois.

Yeah well tell him to f***ing pay off the Jaguars, since he has so much money, so that Stroud and the Texans can do better on offense so my Fantasy team doesn't suck anymore.........
Typically how NFL/Vegas is working right now is whichever team looks like dogsh** or whoever the public deems to be the worst team in the league, they will magically turn around and beat whoever they're playing that next week.......minus the Chiefs.
So the public is off the Jaguars after they've had a terrible start to the season and got smoked by the Bills. It makes perfect sense that Jacksonville would rebound and get a win against the popular team in Houston.......................
Well, I teased the Texans down so if they just win I will be pleased. He can have the Jaguars cover.
Something else: I have the Texans winning their division bet a couple of times in plus money starting back last spring.
I like their coach.
Like both these bets and feel good with current -10 on Neb. Also like Illinois to cover and the over on that game.
Early NFL bets I’m liking.
Cincy -4.5
Bears/Rams under 41
Browns ML
Vikings ML
Houston/Jax Under 45
Jets/broncos under 40.
I’m on Rutgers/Wash U45 tonight.
I was waiting to see if it would get back to 45, so I’m in.

Well I just took advantage of a 50% boost on the Miami game. Sucker born every minute.
Took the over 13.5 for the first quarter.

Well that was a fun Miami VT game.
Holy shit.
Btw, definitely not a catch!
2-0 for the day. Time to find some bets for tomorrow.

That last Virginia Tech drive was a Ferentz-like masterclass in clock management. What a horrendous job by the Hokies
After watching that game, you really appreciate how good our (Iowa) defense is.
Miami’s defense played AWFUL and are lucky they won.
Gave up SEVERAL big plays. Missed tackles. Secondary looked confused the whole game.
Oh well, they made me money. lol
Took NE at -10.
Surprised the MN MI game is only 10.5 points. Might pull the trigger on this game as well.
Update: Also took Michigan at -10.5.

Steve Fezzik (17 PTS - 1st) - (16-5-0)
Falcons (-2.5) vs Saints * BEST BET
Kansas ST (-5) vs Oklahoma ST
Saints at Falcons - UNDER (42)
Georgia at Alabama - UNDER (50)
Browns (PK) at Raiders
North Texas (-6.5) vs Tulsa
Clemson (-21.5) vs Stanford
Well, I am confused. Here are Steve Fezzik's picks for the VSIN contest. They have a lot of hot shot people in this contest. So far he is leading.
He doen't even mention the Texans-Jaguars game. Maybe I misheard everything. I don't know.
Army -13.5 ✅
Wash/Rut U45 ✅
Baylor -3 ❌
Louisville +7 🅿️
EMU -14 ✅
UNLV -2.5 ✅
Okla/Auburn U 44 ❌
Wazzu/Boise St. O64.5 ✅

Alright, fellas. As mentioned, Thursday's game was a push so we can still move on to Saturday.
What are we thinking is the best bet out of today's huge slate of games?

The people that won last night should be making the pick.
I had Washington and lost.
We can come up with an even money ML parlay?
Michigan
Ole Miss
USC
Nebraska
+102
I think Nebraska is the riskiest leg, they could be replaced by Eastern Michigan to get us -110
If we swap in Iowa State for Ole Miss that gets me to +106 on DK. Otherwise, I'm down for that.
Plus, if it's ISU that screws us over we at least get to point at them and laugh for losing.
Might take ISU but it’s up to -16 now.
I don’t expect Houston to score much. Their offense is TERRIBLE.
UPDATE: Just placed three bets on this game.
I took the under. 43 points
ISU ML
ISU -16
Only bet that “scares” me is the spread. Houston has a pretty good defense.

I've been pretty decent to start the year, so figure I'll post my plays today to jinx myself. My sons & I are actually going to Mets-Brewers today & tomorrow, so won't be watching much.
NIU +7 - NC St has been a dumpster fire this year
Kansas -2 - lots of close Ls for the Jayhawks, think they get one at home against an average TCU
UCF -14 - think they'll run through the Buffs
Louisville +6.5 - I think they're better than ND
Georgia -2 - I think they're better than Bama

Under for Ole Miss seems like what I’ll throw out there. Potent offense, but against no one really, and didn’t Kentucky stifle Gawgia for a bit?
