Looking good with Washington though right now.

Xiomera · 12-29-2011, 10:11 PM

What the ****, Baylor?

Giantsfan1080 · 12-29-2011, 10:15 PM

I would be 2-2 tonight if ND didn't kill themselves in the 4th.

D-Unit · 12-30-2011, 12:30 AM

What a game huh? Isn't it amazing how close these scores are to the spread?

When you gamble you start to wonder how much these games are fixed.

Came out on top today, so I'm a very happy camper. Loss FSU at the half, won FSU on the game, Won the Under and Won Baylor Game. Wish I played the over!!! CRAAAAZY scoring!

D-Unit · 12-30-2011, 12:35 AM

What are the calls for Friday?

Tulsa -1 vs BYU
O/U 56.5

Rutgers +1 vs Iowa St
O/U 46

Wake Forest +6.5 vs Mississippi St
O/U 48

Iowa +13.5 vs Oklahoma
O/U 57.5

Yeah if I took the points you listed I would have been wrong by .5 point in each. Just crazy how the Vegas system spits out perfect lines like that most of the time.

I've got BYU, Rutgers, Mississippi State and Oklahoma. I feel pretty confident on the last 3.

Giantsfan1080 · 12-30-2011, 10:02 AM

I can see Iowa State/Rutgers going either way.

Iowa State has a freshman starting QB who hasn't been playing the entire season, and the game is in New York. That's what pushed me toward Rutgers.

Well we do also but yes the homefield should help.

Is this the same frosh that beat Okie State?

Probably is, but it doesn't mean he's a stud.

He's another one of those dual threat QBs that can make things happen on his feet. This is a close one to call. I'm leaning on taking Rutgers now, but I haven't finished my homework yet.

Woke up too late to make a call on the BYU game.

Giantsfan1080 · 12-30-2011, 12:45 PM

Be sure to get your Rutgers question in to me before game time haha.

I'm really struggling to figure this one out. I think either team can win.

I think I messed up on the lines.... I'll go edit.

D-Unit · 12-30-2011, 02:18 PM

Taking Iowa State at the half, -.5, Iowa State game, -1.5, under game 46.

HERE WE GOOOO!!!!

D-Unit · 12-30-2011, 03:39 PM

Why did I take Iowa State??? You guys gave good advice. :(

Edit: The O/U at the half was 23. Not surprised one bit that the score is 17-6.

Xiomera · 12-30-2011, 05:10 PM

****. Come on Rutgers. DO NOT BLOW THIS LEAD!

D-Unit · 12-30-2011, 08:14 PM

Squeezing this Mississippi game. Won the under on the half at 24. Still baffles me how close Vegas gets on these lines. Still have the under on the game 48.5 and Mississippi giving 7. Let's go State!!!

D-Unit · 12-31-2011, 12:33 AM

Can't freakin' believe it!!!! Finally a close call that went my way. OU scoring a TD with 45 seconds is AWEEEEEEEEESOME!!! Took OU at the half -7, game, -13' and under on the game 57.5!!! Rollin' baby! Damn, it would've been awesome if I followed you guys on that Rutgers call. Still happy! :D

Xiomera · 12-31-2011, 12:36 AM

I've picked 8 games in a row correctly. 15-3 overall.

That's nuts! I need your picks for tomorrow!

Docta · 12-31-2011, 02:58 AM

If you picked Iowa State it's probably just because they beat Oklahoma State, but this game was played in New York, and Iowa State wasn't that good to begin with.

D-Unit · 12-31-2011, 03:07 AM

Texas A&M -10
Northwestern
O/U 65

Utah
Georgia Tech -3
O/U 51

UCLA
Illinois -3
O/U 47

Cincinnati
Vanderbilt -1½
O/U 49½

Virginia
Auburn 1
O/U 48½

I did think they played a tougher schedule overall and when Rutgers played a ranked team, they got smoked. It wasn't just the OSU game, but the schedule played a big part of it. Also, some sites I look at had some experts who really had me convinced. Oh well. I'm up pretty comfortably, but I want to make good calls tomorrow and not give it all back.
