Hall of Famer
I am pretty much making this thread for myself but I thought others might be able to get something out of it. I am going to make 5 picks a week vs the spread and that's total with NFL and NCAA games combined. So maybe pack1797 needs some extra beer $ or maybe mycaddy needs to start saving for his daughters wedding. So if that's the case feel free to steal these packs however you want to. I fully expect everyone to give me a hard time on the weeks I go 1 for 5. Sometimes I post a lot of stats to backup my pick while at other times It might just be a gut pick but in general I go with my gut over a bunch of stats.
Incase your new to the word of betting a -7 would mean that team is suppose to win by 7 points. So if that team wins by 6 then you lose $ if they win by 8 and then you win. If its a 7 point spread and the game ends in 7 points then it becomes a push and you only pay the 10%. A +7 would mean that team is suppose to lose by 7. In real life if you bet 50$ then you get 50$ if your team wins. But if they lose then you pay that 50$ plus 10%. Over/Under is the total amount of points projected to be scored by both teams. You could also buy down any game up or down by a half point but if you lose then you pay 20% instead of 10%. The rule of thumb is being at home is worth 3 points
Lousville vs Auburn (lock of the week)
In 2013 under Strong Lousville's defense was the best in the country only allowing 12.3 points a game. When he left for texas my old DC Todd Grantham took over and right off the bat the defense got worse and allowed 21.8 points a game and it will be worse this year. On top of that the defense is going to be less talented this year as it must replace 6 draft picks on defense. I don't expect the talent level on defense to improve as Petrino is known for putting all the athletes on his side of the ball. So the defense will This will be the breakout for new Auburn QB Jeremy Johnson and he will quickly be in the Heisman short list as Auburn rolls past Loisville by atleast 17.
Auburn -10.5
Texas @ Notre Dame
Notre Dame is always over rated and Texas needs to win this game after a bad rookie year. I wouldn't be surprised If texas even wins straight up
Texas +9.5
Washington @ Boise State
Chris Peterson returns to his ol stomping ground and is close to a 2 TD underdog as BSU returns 17 starters. Boise has won 55 of 57 games at home but only 4-3 vs the spread.
Washington +12
Akron @ Oklahoma
Oklahoma typically scores in bunches vs the weak teams so I would be shocked if they don't score 40 while Akron only avg 22 last year and wont get near that this week.
Oklahoma -31
O/U Utep @ Arkansas
Arkansas/Wisconsin is another team that rolls up big points vs weak teams and are wanting to prove they belong in upper tier of SEC. UTEP will score about 14 and that wil be enough to push it over
Over 50
