Longhorn Picks

[txlonghorn90]

Indy - great to have you here. Followed you a lot on the other site. This place is so much better.....

[txlonghorn90]

Adding two more games for tomorrow. Total card for the week is:

Western Ky -7 (Loss)
Marshall - 1 (Win)
Michigan State -6.5
Kentucky +12
West Virginia -9

Top play is on West Virginia. Baylor is terrible on defense and has lost to their quality opponents by double digits. West Virginia has gotten their act together and are a very good offensive team. Will be really hard for Baylor to play from behind so I expect at least a two touchdown difference in the final score.

Good luck today longhorn. You are very solid capper

[Mr. IWS]

With you on WVU as well for the same reasons bro. Also riding with Kentucky. Staying away from Sparty though.

THanks guys. Let's see what happens. Figuring out which set of 18 years olds are going to show up hung over vs. which will show up ready to play is never easy :-)

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

[txlonghorn90]

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....

[txlonghorn90]

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!

[DaKid]

Lets do this!

[Mr. IWS]

Best of luck today man, hoping we both bounce back today.

[txlonghorn90]

Last 3 weeks of college football have been awful for me. Hope you guys were fading and not following. Going to stick to the 2-3 strongest games this week for my card which I will post tomorrow. As bad as it is, record update is below.

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
Week 10 - 2 wins 4 losses (-$2,400)

TOTALS to DATE: 10 wins 12 losses (-$3,400)

[Mr. IWS]

Ive been on the worst run of my life the last 3 weeks myself. Im definitly limiting my games this week.

GL my friend.

[txlonghorn90]

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.
