I also had USC (-12) today. My only two bets, both absolutely crushing heart-breakers.

Did UAB just march 99 yards down the field and win the game?

Lost a stack of high society on that one.not that I bet it straight up, but it would have completed the reverse that I already hit the first part of.Ouch

Threw something on Texas -3.5 so watch for a heart-breaker to come still.

Just like the titans years ago.That is inexcusable. I actually watched 2 players for ND just stand there and wave their arms and not go for the block. Surely if you aren't going to attempt to block a kick, watch for a fake.Also, I am pretty sure Brian Kelly told his special teams coach right after it happened..."Welp, pack your ####, we won't be needing you anymore"

I feel your pain JB
Three big losses for me yesterday. Soccer treated me no better, broke out up 2 bucks after all was said and done on soccer, WISHED I got off that light on CFB.
Looking for some winning teasers today, just give me 5 all winners, and I'll combo them up to recoup yesterdays losses

the FBG consensus is what really killed me. Cal on Friday night and Troy tomorrow. Dually noted, I can be talked into anything and need to stay away from games I know nothing about - it's my own fault.Good luck today guru

I was hot yesterday...went 11-3 and two of my losses were bull#### losses (ECU +20 and Troy -3.5).
Needed every bit of that though to make up for Friday night CFB. Cal hurt me....alot.

I normally don't chase losses but I did yesterday. Barely got out alive chasing my Cal pick with a three team ML parlay of Oklahoma (27-24), Mizzou (27-24 @home against S.D.state, reaally?), and Stanford. 5 units to win 3. Would have been crying like a school girl if i had lost that one. Getting in on Tennessee last week @ +16 helped a little. The two games I really liked yesterday I failed to capitalize on(had them paired with losers) were Army over N.Texas and Utep. It seems to me it is often better to look at craptastic games that go under the radar of Joe Public.My 3 team ML parlay to recapture all the rest of my losses from yesterday (just over 2 units) is Dallas -330 with Minnesota -250 and Green Bay -700. 3 units to pay 3.3 units.

Added WAS but passing on NYJ. Just too lazy to put the Jets in, they should be a play, +9 at home with that defense.Also put in some teasers with GB -12.5 to knock them down to 6.5.I'm taking GB out...too many combinations, think we're looking at 10 teams this week with NYJ most likely qualifying, that's 120 combinations, if I keep GB in there it's 165 combinations, no thanksThese are the games I'm planning on teasingKC +2GB -12.5If someone wants to post some BS teasers for me, that would be swell.I didn't play all the teasers last week, but I did manage to go 10-0 last week, with Baltimore fixing me up real good on Monday nightthanks in advance, will answer yours.
Cincy +2Pit +5Dal -7/7.5Miami +5.5Was +2.5/3SD -7NYG +5.5SF +5.5ETA: there are 3 games lined at +3.5, i might be putting them into a 3t 7pt teaser

The 2nd string QB gets called on for the start and the line moves to 3? Cleveland is starting the wrong QB. KC had a lot go there way Monday night but cripes this is the BROWNS.Do you agree?

Seneca may very well be better than Delhomme.

I think KC is a very nice teaser leg, have them in there on a few. With you on ATL too Lump. Back in the dome, Arizona coming across the country to play a 1pm game.

Hell if I know. I don't really understand how Delhommy still has a job when guys like Aaron Brooks were shown the door and never given another look ever again. ####### Quincy Carter got a cup of coffee at least with the Jets for a bit. Seneca is fine and isn't a turnover machine. They have a couple of decent backs.
Also CLE tends to get late steam. I have some theories on this, but this situation doesn't really apply today.

I told you guys about putting your retirement account, kid's college fund, etc. on the Packers last week so your balance should be pretty big now:

My play today, not quite as strong as last week, but still a strong play is:
Kansas City +3 -120
Don't worry about the 20% juice. KC will cover this no problem. Even if Delhomme plays (he's doubtful), KC will roll in this one.

Big Card this week after laying off College yesterday
All to win 1 unit:
Cle -3 -115; CLE wins this outright. Wallace is better than Delhomme and KC is in for a letdown. CLE is desperate for a win at home;
Buff +12.5: I hate asking bad teams to do good things but everyone seems to be acting like they already know the final score here. I'll go contrary to popular opinion. Besides, there is always the chance GB is looking ahead a little to being at CHI on MNF next week.
CIN ML +120: Baltimore is in for a letdown and Cincy is home and desperate. Further, Cincy can attack that Baltimore secondary where the NYJ's failed to do so.
PHIL/DET O 41.5: Both teams can score points; Vick is back and that will give Det fits, on the other side, Hill is not as bad as advertised and they will put points as well on a dinged up Philly team
MIA +5.5: Every year a team that is expected to be a contender falls flat. This year that team in Minnesota. They looked like doo-doo against the Saints and I see nothing to suggest that trend will reverese itself. I can't see MIA winning, but this is going to be close. MIA is going to be able to run with more success than people think IMHO
WAS +3 - 115: This team is for real IMHO. HOU is coming off the emotional win. I'll take the points;
NYJ +3 115: Gimme the dog in this fight. The NYJ are not as bad as they looked on MNF and the Pats aren't as good as they looked last week
Parlay risking .5 units pays 11.5 units
Cle -160/GB -700/MIA +5.5/Was +120/SD -320/NYJ +135
Teaser of CIN +8.5/Was +9/NYJ +9 - Risking 1 unit to make 1.8

Wallace is starting FYI and we could not be more opposite here. G'luck!

Why would you not go money line here? I put 2 units on this game to pay out 2.5. seems losing to losing close to a total unit just to get 3 points.
LHUCKS
Footballguy
In addtion to the above, just laid these down...love it when Hank Goldberg agrees with me:CHI+7 vs. DAL , 2 units
NYJ+3 vs. NE, 1 unit(already locked in 2 units at 2.5 below)
AZ+6.5 vs. ATL, 2 units
10 buck parlay on all three above.

So let me ask a fantasy question in here - I trust you derelicts more than going into the Shark Pool.
Who would you start at WR out of these 3:
Mike Williams - TB
Eddie Royal
Dez Bryant
FBG ranks them: Royal, Williams, Dez

I would rank them the exact opposite. I have both Royal and Williams, and I am starting Williams. I wish I had Dez over both.
Zow
Footballguy
Royal. I think he is guaranteed the most targets. Although both Dez and Williams saw a ton of passes last week and looked involved in the offense. Royal just seems the most likely to see 8 balls or more tossed his way.
John Bender
Footballguy
Damn - thanks.
You guys are making me think here.
I currently have Hakeem Nicks starting, I could always mitigate the risk and just toss Royal and Dez in there together but I feel like Nicks is going to play. If he doesn't, I'm f'd

I wouldn't stress it too much. All 3 should see plenty of targets. I just think Dez goes off this week.
Zow
Footballguy
It's a close call man. I'm currently pondering over Mike Thomas, Dez, and Nate Washington. Have Thomas slotted right now.
Zow
Footballguy
FWIW I think Nicks plays and is too good to sit.
LHUCKS
Footballguy
Williams, because he's the best TD threat but still will get targets...Royal in PPR
