    Well folks. That was a tough day yesterday. I don't like losing money. I have no idea how West Virginia gets smoked 23-0 in the 4th quarter to miss the cover. How you can be up 38-13 with 14:00 minutes left in the game and not protect the number is absurd. Really poor defense that nearly cost those kids their season. That coupled with a complete no show by the state of Kentucky had us come in with a poor 2-3 showing overall this week.

    The record so far is as follows:

    Week 6 - 3 wins 0 losses (+$3,000)
    Week 7 - 2 wins 1 loss (+900)
    Week 8 - 2 wins 3 losses (-$1,300)

    TOTALS to DATE: 8 wins 4 losses (+$2,600)

    I'll try and do better in week 10.

    Went down with you on WVU and Kentucky. That WVU collapse was brutal

    I like some of the games on the card this week so hoping for a strong showing. I am playing the following picks for Week 9:

    - SMU -9 (line is -9.5 so I bought the hook)
    - Marshall - 16.5
    - Texas -9 (think they will play really hard after last week's debacle. Are 5-0-1 ATS in last 6 games)
    - Ohio State - 6 (buy the hook on this one for sure)
    - TCU - 6.5 (Play of the Day. This game will be done at halftime)

    Good luck to all

    Well folks, a really bad week in Week 9. No idea that TCU, Ohio State, and SMU would play so poorly. I'm really sorry to anyone who lost money tailing me last week. Updated record is:

    Week 6 - 3 wins 0 losses (+$3,000)
    Week 7 - 2 wins 1 loss (+900)
    Week 8 - 2 wins 3 losses (-$1,300)
    Week 9 - 1 win 4 losses (-$3,600) including the juice on the hook buys

    TOTALS to DATE: 8 wins 8 losses (-$1,000)

    I will do better this week....

    Picks for Week 10 are as follows:

    Florida +3 (love this game with new coach and new QB - Missouri is bad folks)
    Iowa +18 (looking for a Buckeye letdown after last week)
    Maryland -3 (Rutgers is a bad team)
    Mississippi +3.5
    Arkansas -24 ( all losses came against ranked teams. Now they step down in competition)
    Va Tech +1

    Good luck to all!

    Thank you sir! The books have been making out like bandits lately. I know it is not the right forum but anybody that saw that Arizona game last night and the missed extra point at the end, has to know that something is up. Better to limit your action and ride it out until things tilt back our direction!

    Good luck to you.

    Picks for Week 11 are as follows:

    USC - 14 (My top play of the week. USC is fighting to stay relevant in the PAC 12 and make it to the championship game. Next week have UCLA who has already rolled over so they will be focused on winning at altitude this week.)
    Wisconsin -12 (Wisconsin is playing for the BCS. With a weak schedule they cannot afford a single loss so have something to prove. Iowa played out of their minds last week and expect a letdown here allowing an easy Wisky cover)
    Ark. St. - 10.5 (Playing for bowl eligibility and off a bye week so should be focused against a weaker South Alabama team)

    Good luck to all!

    Sorry guys. I was out of the country last week so did not have any week 12 action.

    Three games I really like in Week 13 as follows:

    North Texas +11.5 at FAU - the Mean Green are a good team and will not get blown out the way they did in the first game. This is a legitimate revenge situation as FAU embarrassed UNT the first time around)

    UCF -7 over Memphis - Scott Frost has UCF in great shape and they have something to prove in going undefeated on the year. Memphis will play better this time around but no doubt that UCF is the better team here.

    Fresno State +9 over Boise State - This is the craziest line of the weekend. Fresno State just beat Boise State last week by >10 points. No way going to the blue turf causes a 20 point swing in the result.

    Good luck to all
