^ that thread was a messy bloated piece of shit, with fucking NBA, soccer etc mixed in, fuck that

8/26/2007 12:29:54 PM

i like this thread

especially since Im going to vegas next weekend and gonna bet a shit ton on games

8/26/2007 4:41:17 PM

What is the line on our game....it was -8 State?

Im thinking we only win by 7 or less.....

8/26/2007 5:28:17 PM

if you wager, I'd wager substantially on georgia tech to beat notre dame, no, not cover the spread, but beat them SU/moneyline. As usual, the hype machine will be in full Irish gear this week, only to see them come to a screeching hault. Tech's new quarterback is much better than Reggie Ball ever was, and they will overcome the loss of calvin johnson with the league's best RB, and mix in some deep balls when they need to keep notre dame from putting 8 in the box. brady quinn never impressed me and the new QB will be facing an already blitz oriented Tenuta.

LSU to win by 19 is going to be safe, but i wouldn't be surprised to see MSU keep it close until halftime, maybe even a 1-3 point lead, but I would expect the wheels to fall off MSU in the 3rd quarter should they not fall off earlier.

I wouldn't touch the tennessee/cal game with a ten foot poll, that game could be a UT blowout, or a cal blowout, and anythign in between.

8/26/2007 5:33:41 PM

^ I agree with pretty much all of that, especially GT and Tenn games...


really like GT to win outright


like Auburn to cover against K-State
REALLY like Mizzu to cover the 5 against Illinois

My picks so far for Week 1 on a 4 Star Scale

*
Kent State +4 vs. Iowa State
Auburn -13.5 vs. Kansas St.

**
Washington -3 vs. Syracuse
Central Florida +8 vs. NC State
OK. State +6.5 vs. Georgia

***
Georgia Tech +2.5 vs. ND (the 2.5 is a sucker bet)
USC -45 vs. Idaho
LSU - 18 vs. Miss. State
Colorado -2.5 vs. Colorado State

****
UL-Lafayette +29 vs. South Carolina

8/27/2007 2:49:26 PM

sooo, no one likes any of the week 1 lines??

8/27/2007 11:42:35 PM

State vs UCF under 47.5

GT +2.5 vs ND

UNC vs +12 James Madison

Stony Brook vs +8 Georgetown (Go to school at Stony Brook, Ive seen their team practice from my office) haah...they'll probably screw me over but whateva

Tempted on the duke vs conn game. Over is 52 which seems kinda high, though I dont know too much about conn.

8/27/2007 11:57:57 PM

I'm on Miami covering -18.5 vs Marshall. Their offense is going to be much improved.

8/28/2007 12:27:53 AM

^ and their defense is going to be retarded this year

8/28/2007 8:55:12 AM

.I wont start really lookin at the lines and researching till tomorrow or thursday probably, with it being week 1 still waiting on last minute news on teams. I do like the GT upset and am also liking Buffalo +32. I realize rutgers will win this game, I know they had a great season last year, but getting 32 points in week one against a team with only one good season is hard to pass up.

On a side note Bodog appears down, anyone else having problems?

So update time.. it appears someone really fucked up at bodog and they lost their domain name. If they simply forgot to re register it or something stupid that person can expect to be killed quickly. Apparently the site has been moved to http://www.newbodog.com and seems legit as well as their customer service line directing people there. Either way someone fucked up bad.

8/28/2007 4:30:39 PM

wow... makes you not want to trust them with your money, credit cards etc

Ok, an MLB game might slip in once a week, if that. During football it is the football betting thread.

I was gonna leave this thread but since the soccer fags have decided to be dicks about it all sports betting will go in the sports betting thread... the last thing we need is an NBA thread in a few months.

This was an asshole thing for you to do RoyalFlush and I won't forget it.
