TCU +7 2u

USC -9

Navy/Troy Over 58

UGa -15.5

Bama/TAMU (Tat special) UNDER 55Tulsa (FBG special) -3

Nevada/Fresno State (late night super special from the Doc) OVER 68 1.5u

i tailed some of these bud, just cruising along

TCU not doing us any favors, K-State is the real deal. Might add more to Nevada/Fresno State over, those teams play absolutely no defense.

Good call by RN today on Oregon State plus four. That helped a lot.

 

[Raider Nation]

RN - since you're from Rhode Island, I thought I'd start with you. Do you have a good bolognese recipe that doesn't require a food processor to cut up the veggies? TIA

Not one of my specialties, GB.

It was at 4.5 when I thought about playing it. A push or a hook win is a good thing to post, don't hate.

Right, but CU specifically wrote "plus four"... I'm guessing he teased it.

Maybe that older chick slipped him a Mickey and he thinks +4 was a win. Let's not ruin it for him tonight.

I've lost count of how many womens Chainsaw has. Hopefully he's practicing his plumbing skills right now and not watching football.

 

[The Ref]

How high does the Oregon 1H total have to get before it becomes a no play?

Higher then 36, that's what I said two days ago. This is a bet I'm going to auto make the rest of the year.

 

[The Ref]

I think this one is far enough ahead that I don't even have to worry about jinxing it. Great call on the Tulsa play from all of the CFB guys in here. It's fun getting some easy bets in here while we can.

Its rare when a few of us come together.... and are actually right.

So listen to this. I have a good friend who is a terrible gambler (no rhyme or reason to his plays) who always gives me #### for not giving him my picks. So he went to Las Vegas for the very first time and wanted all my picks this weekend.

So I sent him the Colts (which I didn't even bet myself), and then eight college leans and my NFL teasers. Of those 8 college games they went 7-1, the only loss being TCU. I didn't bet two of them which I regret a bit, but I'm doing ok today.

So right now he's down like 1.5k on the tables and slots and is mad about it. So mad apparently that he did not bet one single game I sent him. So right now I'm rubbing it in. Am I justified in doing so?

I will say this, I will never give him another lean unless he needs it to avoid becoming homeless.

depends how much 1.5k is to him. A good jab here or there is fine if he gets to vegas every once in awhile and can make plays at another time. if that 1.5k is some important money then suggest he hits a club or something before he loses a bunch more. Chasing is no fun when you keep losing

 

[The Ref]

It's been a wonderful day. Every week should be like this.

Rolling late night with 2U of Oregon 1H side and total, and I just added 2U Nevada O. I also have 1U of Fresno -2.5.

Lets wrap this ##### up right!

Well I'm not rubbing it in because he's losing at the tables, I'm rubbing it in because he wants my picks every week and I finally give him well-researched picks and he ignores them. Plus he has two chicks out there rubbing his penis and a swank room, I don't pity him. He'll be fine.

Reminds me of the old story about the guy who tells his degenerate buddy that he has a SURE THING in football. The coach is on the take. The QB is on the take. Half the defense is on the take. "Great," he says. "Got anything I can parlay it with?"

He'll play all the teasers tomorrow and they will all lose and he'll be mad at me. This is why I never give him any picks.

1. Just covered the LSU game with a pick 6 in an already decided game...that felt great

2. One of my GBs has a 5 team parlay (to win $4k) with the last 2 legs left: ND -19 and WAS +1

3. ####### Bama...probably going to cost me a lot of $ today

4. let's go Oregon 1H

that's what i was thinking. I have been there before. I could see going to Vegas, probably in the middle of a losing streak, and being too nervous to make the plays yet because i don't want to lose any more money. Then, after the first few win i would only bet on TCU because it was left or becuase it was one of your bigger bets. Nothing like the picks you send him going 7-1, and he goes 0-1 tailing them

 

[gussy]

OMG Nevada would have had a TD and then missed a chip shot FG. Gonna be one of those games.

Been one of these DAYS. After the last 2 weeks I knew I had some payback coming but would have preferred not to give up 2 weeks winnings in one Saturday afternoon. Ugh.

Oregon is just sick. Barner goes out, bring in Marshal.

We are even for Pitt last night too. I was gonna bet the Aztecs today and didn't because you had AF. Gambling runs are what they are, I personally get nervous having great NFL runs when I've never been that great at the NFL. I think this Fresno/Nevada game will open up once someone takes a ten point lead.

 

[Tiger Fan]

So, I'm clearly looking ahead here..but with Oregon's defensive guys out today...maybe we see the 2nd half over also

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Cal looks goodish.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Ten points left on the field already in the Nevada/fresno game. #### me.

NFL Sharps Report - Week 10

BUFFALO at NEW ENGLAND:

Sharps hit the double digit dog out of the gate, as an opener of New England -12 was bet down to -11. You regulars know that there are some old school Sharps who play every double digit dog on principle. They moved, as did some others. There wasn’t enough support to drive the line all the way to the key number of ten though, as Buffalo got hammered by the Pats 6 weeks ago on their home field, and looked lethargic last week, while NE comes in off a bye.

NY GIANTS at CINCINNATI:

Games last week in the price range of 4-7 gave sportsbooks and many Sharps migraines. Those groups generally root for underdogs, while Squares find the favorites affordably cheap. This is our first game this week in that range, and Sharps aren’t shying away from the underdog. Cincinnati opened at +6, but has been bet down to +4.5. If last week is any indication, the public will be on the Giants on game day, just like they were on Denver in this city a week ago. Another Manning!

SAN DIEGO at TAMPA BAY:

Tampa Bay opened at -2.5, which is right under the key number. That tells you that oddsmakers believed Sharps were going to like the dog with the added preparation time off a Thursday game. Sharps jumped on the Bucs instead and drove the line to a full field goal. Tampa Bay has been the better team in recent weeks, and many Sharps told us they couldn’t believe the game opened below three. They bet the value immediately. Note that we’ll only be mentioning Over/Unders today in games that have shown Sharp tendencies. None yet to this point on the card.

DENVER at CAROLINA:

Another game between the three and seven for a road favorite, and another game where Sharps didn’t shy away from the dog. Denver opened at -5.5. We’re now seeing lines between -3.5 and -4 for the Broncos. This is the second straight road favorite spot for the Broncos outside of their time zone, and Carolina has been playing better of late after a slow start. Some Sharps like this situational home dog quite a bit, particularly since the NFC has fared well in interconference play this year.

TENNESSEE at MIAMI:

Miami opened at -6.5, Sharps played the dog rather tentatively, with the line dropping down to Miami -6. Sharps have mostly been fond of Miami this year, and they don’t like Tennessee’s defense. Oddsmakers pretty much nailed Sharp sentiment here in a game that may have seen a line near a field goal a month ago.

OAKLAND at BALTIMORE:

Our first game in the teaser window this week, with Baltimore opening at -7.5. Should the line stay there on game day, the Ravens will be a popular choice in two-team teasers for Sharps and Squares alike, moving the number down past the 7 and the 3 to -1.5. You may see some stores lift Baltimore to -9 to discourage that, given the tendency for the public to bet favorites and to fade West Coast travelers in early starts. The total has dropped from 47 to 46, which may be an early sign of weather issues because Oakland’s defense has struggled on the road.

ATLANTA at NEW ORLEANS:

This time we have a home dog in the teaser window. Atlanta opened at -1.5 and is now sitting at -2. That means basic strategy would push the dog up past +3 and +7 in two-team teasers. There are some Sharps who have Atlanta -1.5 already, but who will also be on New Orleans in teasers this Sunday hoping the game lands in that vast window. Sharps who like Atlanta believe they match up well against the poor New Orleans defense.

DETROIT at MINNESOTA:

We have a huge Sharp move here on the Lions, as they opened at +2.5 (+3 in some of the earliest spots) on the road here but have been bet all the way to a 1-point favorite (-2 in spots). You don’t normally see that in the NFL unless there’s an injury involved. Here, it looks to be a matter of oddsmakers not adjusting their Power Ratings quickly enough. Detroit has been playing better ball lately, while Minnesota has struggled badly against Seattle and Tampa Bay. Oddsmakers saw the two teams as close to even. Sharps believe Detroit is the clearly superior side right now. This line move does stick Minnesota in the basic strategy teaser range at +1.5, +2, or if the line moves further to +2.5. The total is up from 45.5 to 46.5 or 47 on strong Over sentiment from the math guys.

NY JETS at SEATTLE:

Seattle opened at -6, which is a line few would have imagined back when the season started. Sharps bet the favorite anyway, moving it up to -6.5. This goes against what we’ve been seeing in this price range this week, which is meaningful. Jets money would come in only if the line goes all the way to seven. Basically, those who think Mark Sanchez will be overmatched on the road by a strong NFC defense bet the Seahawks early. Those who prefer the “defensive dog” position of the Jets are waiting to see if they can get +7 over the weekend.

DALLAS at PHILADELPHIA:

We have another flip flop of favorites. Philadelphia opened at -1.5. They’ve been playing so badly of late that Sharps hit Dallas hard enough to make the Cowboys the favorite at that price. Both teams have issues right now. Sharps believe the dark cloud hanging over Philadelphia is gloomier at the moment. Will those clouds mess up teaser plays? Philadelphia has moved into the teaser window because of pessimism about the team.

ST. LOUIS at SAN FRANCISCO:

This is a West Coast version of Buffalo/New England, where the Super Bowl contending favorite opened at -12 against an overmatched divisional foe. Some Sharps hit the dog lightly (particularly the old school guys), so we’re now seeing San Francisco -11.5 or -11 in most places.

HOUSTON at CHICAGO:

The big move here was on the total. As an opener of 44 has been bet down to 41.5. Some of that is weather potential, but a lot of it is simply a matchup of great defenses on a field where it can be hard for offenses to move the ball consistently. Houston’s been playing conservatively on offense this season, and much of Chicago’s scoring is a result of cheap points against bad teams. Frankly, a very bad total from oddsmakers that got spanked quickly. Chicago opened at -1. If the line moves up, that will put Houston in the teaser window in a defensive struggle. Should oddsmakers move Chicago all the way to -3 on game day because of public support for the hosts, then Sharps would come in very strong on Houston +3. Tricky spot for sportsbooks in a game that will have a huge handle as a prime time showdown of Super Bowl hopefuls.

KANSAS CITY at PITTSBURGH:

Not much betting interest in this one at all. It’s worth nothing that Pittsburgh opened at -12.5 and there WASN’T a move toward the double digit dog. Kansas City’s been playing so badly that Sharps won’t invest even at this price. They might at +13 or +14 on game day if Squares hit the TV favorite.

OMG Nevada would have had a TD and then missed a chip shot FG. Gonna be one of those games.

i'll disagree here, losing Harvin is a big deal for the Vikes. a significant threat on special teams, and any time he gets the ball he is dangerous, especially against the Lions secondary. No Harvin = a significantly reduced passing threat for the Vikes

I didn't understand them ignoring the Harvin injury either. Still, Vikings are in the Wong zone last I checked.
