I'd bet RG3 up to -1000. There is no rational argument you can make to pick Luck over him.

His numbers are so ridiculous. I can't believe how much his accuracy improved in 1 year

He's horrible. One of the worst QB'd games I've seen in a long time. That's what you get for spurning the Huskers chump.

At -250? Anyone looking at the numbers has to see there is no comparison except for wins. The amount of votes that would have to come in late on Luck is staggering.

No, he's not. He's a terrible QB. He was mediocre in college.Your reaction was hilarious, though.

Are there any reliable NHL touts out there? I enjoy watching hockey but I'm not a puckhead. I'd like to get an edge from someone who knows the sport inside-out. Anybody can take the huge favorites, but they lose just like great pitchers who are laying -290. I'm looking to be on the right side of the games that are virtual pick ems so I don't have to eat heavy chalk.

I'm done betting basketball. I almost had a heart attack last year yelling at the TV. Missed free throws, unbelievable backdoor covers, etc.

Follow RickJSportPlays on twitter, 5-6 hockey plays a week, definitely with an edge. Actually all his stuff is good, very low volume but usually action on at least a game or 2 a day.

Perfect! Thanks.

Jags +150 tonight.At home on MNF. Remember the Baltimore game. The defense will play strong all night, and MJD should run wild all over an already shaky Chargers team.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that I'm pretty bad at this whole betting thing.

He's right...you posted +3.5 and that lost, nobody cares that you actually bet it at +4.5. That's how this works.People in here are trying to help, you're doing pretty standard new guy stuff, don't sweat it and try to keep learning

Best advice is to just ignore the haters. If you keep posting your picks and they keep doing well they won't be ignored. That's how all the guys here started who actually became psuedo touts. They rest of us are just here to shoot the #### and lose money. I am of the opinion we could use some new blood as long as you like to get drunk and chase your losses on the Hawaii games on Saturday nights with the lot of us, you'll fit in fine.

Get some bowl talk going on in here instead of arguing over somebody's posted record. Either ignore it, play them, or fade them.

Wisky +7 (hopefully) currently 6.5 over Oregon - not impressed with Wisky's defense against Mich State but this is a game won in the trenches. I can't see how Oregon's small d-line is going to be able to get off blocks and stop Ball. Also, screams big play action passes from Wilson. Can they stop Oregon? I'll take a great coach in Bielema having a scheme to try to stop it (although I like Kelly too).

Oregon St -3.5 - I am a big Stanford/Luck fan but my oh my what a performance against OU. Not only was their offense good, but they held OU to 3 pts. Luck is very good but his supporting cast is not.

Notre Dame +3 vs Florida State - ND playing very well down the stretch, I'll take the 3 pts here.

Va Tech +2 against Michigan - Michigan in a BCS bowl, kidding right? VA Tech with a bad game against Clemson so can't give them too much credit here. One man show in Robinson will be stopped by VA Tech defense with 4 weeks to prepare.

Bama +1 vs LSU - would have liked a fg here but 1 will have to do. Two very even teams, I just thought Bama outplayed LSU by a lot last game. Missed fgs, turnovers, etc. LSU offense did nothing. One can make an argument that with Jefferson their offense has played better but last week's 1h against UGA didn't sell me. SHould be an outstanding game. Likely will play Over as well - special teams, defensive tds may open this one up.

I just dumped my Luck Heisman bets (well kind of). Played RG3 to win -400. I'm taking a loss of either $450 (if Luck wins ) or $750 (if rg3 wins).

I'll take a great coach in Bielema having a scheme to try to stop it (although I like Kelly too).

Not sure what I think about this game but if it gets to seven I might join you. Wisconsin is a team that rolls downhill and I think they can play well enough on defense to at least keep this fairly close.

Oregon St -3.5 - I am a big Stanford/Luck fan but my oh my what a performance against OU. Not only was their offense good, but they held OU to 3 pts. Luck is very good but his supporting cast is not.

Okie State, yeah they are pretty good. I doubt I'd take them with the hook though, Stanford still has some decent personnel on defense and a long time to prepare for all the athletes. However, I do see Okie State and Oregon being about the same team and Oregon crushed Stanford. Still thinking this one through.

Notre Dame +3 vs Florida State - ND playing very well down the stretch, I'll take the 3 pts here.

Notre Dame has one good win all year: Michigan StateDown the stretch they played Maryland and BC two of the worst teams in FBS, a down Navy program, they won by seven at Wake Forest and they lost to USC and Stanford. These teams have two common opponents. Notre Dame beat Wake by 7 and BC by 3. FSU lost to Wake by five and beat BC by 31. Florida State is probably the better team, I tend to lean that way.

Va Tech +2 against Michigan - Michigan in a BCS bowl, kidding right? VA Tech with a bad game against Clemson so can't give them too much credit here. One man show in Robinson will be stopped by VA Tech defense with 4 weeks to prepare.

Michigan developed their running game over the course of the season so I doubt Va Tech will shut them down since as usual, D-Rob will be the best player on the field. That should come in handy for Michigan but I don't think I'd give Va Tech any points in this game. Overall they are probably the better team.

Thanks for the bowl game analysis - keep it coming. Just noting that, even as a double Wisconsin grad and Milwaukee resident, this is most certainly the first time I've heard Bret Bielema referred to as a "great coach". Most people around here have yet to buy in.
