How many picks do you want this week?

I like Pits +4.5
IND +2.5
KC -4.5

iamthegreatcornholio

It's not in stone - 2 - 4 are good. I think really this is to keep tabs on long-term consistency. So if one of us is down big, we can't make 10 bets the next week.

Could you tell me where you found those odds? All of them are very good - I'm looking at Indy +1, Pit +3.5, and KC -6.

BTW, I got a challenge in the mail. I got $50 for free just by signing up at a sports-book. I don’t need to EVER deposit any money either! Here’s the catch, I can’t cash out the $50 – it has to be at between $1,000 and $1,500, and I can’t do any parlays – just straight up wagers. So this means that if I go “all-in” 5 times in a row at –110 apiece and win all five I’ll be at $1267.95 (50*(100/110)^5). If I am right 50% of the time, that’s a 3.125% of doing it. I got nothing to lose. Wish me luck!

kuhlmann

huh huh umm beavis! your cool!! lol love the new icon man!!!

4 games a week 50$ a game. if you guys get down i see no wrong with trying to cover it up. it will just show stevek point on how much someone would lose by trying to catch up. ill stick to my 4 which i most always do but sometimes i send in a parlay. but those would be hard to keep track on.

any way i might post a pick tomorow night depending if i have power. IVAN ABOUT TO WHIP THROUGH HERE A LITTLE BIT. Love my cowboys to cover easily at home this week sunday agianst a browns team that came off an emotional win. boys 27-10 spread cowboys -4 as of now. ill wait till line movement to make it official.

iamthegreatcornholio

Thanks kuhlmann, I somehow managed to find an even more immature avatar.

As for the Cowboys Browns, I agree with you, but I still wouldn't take it. I guess if someone were holding a gun to my head I'd take Cowboys -4.5 (that's what mine says not -4). The last time the Cowboys were SUPPOSED to cover they didn't. This was in preseason at home against the Titans. Dallas was at home and playing their starters much, much longer than Tennessee and were favored by 3 to 4.5...they only won by 3.

Hopefully Ivan won't hit you too hard. Some of the no-name schools in Atlanta have already canceled class Friday. Class has never been canceled at my school so I have zero hope of missing my Friday test..................

auburn pickem over lsu

dallas -4.5 over browns.

colts +1 over tenn.

then monday i will give my game if im still up.

iamthegreatcornholio

Damn all three of us had nailbiters spreadwise.

I'm up $50 today as Duke covered +28 by only losing 41-17 thanks to a last minute TD.
kuhlmann's only down $5 thanks to those crazy extra point attempts so Auburn won 10-9
Wondo's only down $5 thanks to a late Miami OH drive to cover -19.5 by winning 40-20.

I just hope tomorrow is as exciting!

Brian

kuhlmann

How the heck is clemson ranked they suck!!!!! should of took my gamec@cks like i was going to.

kuhlmann

3 out of 4 again this week!! up 190$

iamthegreatcornholio

kuhlmann, nice going! I hope you did that for real too and not just here! I'm still waiting on tonight's outcome. In real life, I took the Jets @ 10-1 for scoring the most points Sunday and they scored 34, which tied the Falcons for the most so it paid 5-1.....still good money

Brian

kuhlmann

yes it for real! i am throwing 50$ on the over 49.5 tonite also.

iamthegreatcornholio

Nice GL. I like the ridiculous props. I got Brian Westbrook scoring the first TD: 8-1

Washington +10 1/2 at Notre Dame
Wisconsin -3 over Penn State
Philadelphia / Detroit over 44 1/2



Can anyone catch Kuhlmann!

xbaggypants

Week 3 picks

Phi-Det OVER 44.5
NYG -3
KC -9.5
Ten -6.5

iamthegreatcornholio

Okay guys here are my picks,

NC State +10 over Va Tech (If I win it'll be $50, but if I lose this will be ($60) rather than ($55))

Iowa +14 over Michigan (If I win it'll be $50, but if I lose this will be ($60) rather than ($55))

New Orleans +7 over St. Louis

San Diego +10 over Denver

Although I think I picked winners, I usually feel strongly about one or two but I have cold feet this week so I'll be laying low in real life on these games.


Sorry wondo but I'm going against you on Va Tech. Here's why "Va Tech is 0-5 ATS in their last five games vs. good rushing defenses (allowing less than 120 rushing yards per game)

NCST is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a road dog.
NCST is 8-3 ATS over the last six years as a dog."

I got this info from the link xbaggypants posted! Thanks

Brian

edit to add I bought those points on NCST and IOWA to make it look nicer.

kuhlmann

clemson +17.5
south carolina -13.5

iamthegreatcornholio

3 wins 0 losses 1 tie on the weekend not only that but 2/3 of my wins I didn't even need the points they flat-out won!

KOBEcollector

I through up a last minute bet ( Seattle + 9.5 ) . Only bet $10 but a nice win nonetheless

Would love for the Cowboys to win tommorow night . 4 out of 5 this weekend . Cmon Boys lol

iamthegreatcornholio

Nice going KOBEcollector! I think you and I are the only two up this weekend. I think you meant Seattle - 9.5 though. I'd surely take Seattle +9.5 .

GL on the cowboys, I still think the Redskins win, but I'm not sure enough to put $ on it.

Brian

KOBEcollector

cornholio , thank you. Not much of a college fan so i got lucky with Kentucky against Florida. I do feel like i know enough about Pro to win some bucks. Now it's time for me to grow some balls and start betting some real dough lol

Do you guys have much luck betting on the NBA ?

I love hoops so i'll probablly give it a shot when they start

iamthegreatcornholio

Thanks Chris, it just goes to show what one week can do to you - good or bad. If KOBEcollector keep's this up, he might be the one to beat.

Brian

KOBEcollector

I don't know if i mentioned this but i did lose on the DeLaHoya fight. Had him winning on decision. Thimk i only lost $15 though

Heres to us guys winning this upcoming week

iamthegreatcornholio

I think NFL is my forte, in the few months I've done it, I'm about 65% ATS and was 10-1 in the playoffs ATS.
Brian

iamthegreatcornholio

Alright here are my picks:

Iowa State +17.5 over Oklahoma State

GaTech +14 over Miami ------> since this is pretend money it's okay to bet with your heart and not head

Buffalo +5.5 over New England

Falcons +3.5 over Carolina -------> see GaTech bet

2/4 of mine are on my teams - I'm setting myself up for a either a really good weekend or a really bad weekend.

Brian

iamthegreatcornholio

What the hell - I'm adding one more

OreSt+7.5 over Cal

Brian

iamthegreatcornholio

GL in the Purdue ND game. It seems like everyone wants to take Purdue but is reluctant to take it. It's kinda like being the first one in the pool when you're not sure the temperature.

Brian

xbaggypants

Ind -3.5
Phil -9
Ten -5.5
NYJ - 5.5

Ryan

iamthegreatcornholio

Nice going kuhlmann on that Purdue/ND game!

So far I've been 0-3 on these games. Luckily I didn't take any in real life, but I did spend my Saturday afternnoon watching my team get destroyed. I liked UGA winning, but at the time when I looked the odds up it was -4 so I didn't pick it. I snagged it right before kickoff at -2.5...money in the bank

Brian

KOBEcollector

For someone that dosen't know the college game too well im doing ok so far. 2-0 today and 3-0 overall. Only bet about $ 15 and $ 20 on both today.

I have 6 games tommorow. Hoping for the best

p.s nice win Kuhlmann !
