[upnorthkid]

Overall 3-4-1, -1 on units; brings us to 35-25-1, now at +23U. Blah week
Last week
Syracuse-FSU over 55, 1U; L, gotta get off this Cuse scoring train
Oregon +3 @ Wash, 1U; push; thanks Cam Lewis
Texas A&M-Tenn over 55, 1U; L
USC-ND over 60 AND USC +3, 1U; W
Oregon St -3.5 vs UCLA, 1U; W
Tulane Memphis over 54, 1U; L
Ill-MD over 51.5, 1U; L
Florida-South Carolina over 51, 1U; W

This week
PSU+4.5 @OSU, 1U; think this will be tight and can't see either offense really lighting it up. Give me the points
Rutgers -5 @IU, 1U; IU is not good, Rutgers is ok
Tenn +9 @ Bama, 1U; not sold on the Bama offense scoring enough for this line
S Car Mizzou over 60, 1U; lets keep on giving up 40 South Car
MN +155@Iowa, 1U; don't do it to me again gophers (take the moneyline if you like that bit of buffer). May also play the over on points for the gophers which might be 13-14 or so
WI Ill under 42, 1U; think this goes slow with the backup qb
Ole Miss -6.5 @ Auburn, 1U
USC -6.5 vs Utah, 1U; rebound game
Clemson -2.5 @ Miami, 1U

Who ya got GH?

I had 6 games on the schedule this year that I was prepared to lose good $$$ of it meant we win.

1) Nebraska - I hate them and I flew up from Texas for that game. I bet $500 against us and I lost the $$. Thank God.

2) I put $300 against us against NC as I hate the tarheels. Up to $500 now.

3) I put the $500 on Michigan to win. Up to $581

4) I put the $581 on Iowa. I am either happy on Saturday at 6:30 pm or I have $903 in my account.



I also have a $400 season bet out there on us under 7 wins. That pays out around $750

Love the emotional hedge strategy, lol. I have a friend who does the same but with much smaller amounts! Really impressed at the season "under" wins bet too. I've tried not to wear maroon colored glasses the past couple years, but I thought 6 wins was a really unlikely scenario. Turns out I was right, but maybe because they'll struggle to get 5! Wowzers, what a year.
