saturday 3-4 -85

ytd 25-15-3 +1830

Wake Forest +12.5 over GA Tech (107/100 canbet)

UCONN +45.5 over Miami (107/100 canbet)

Navy +24.5 over Air Force (107/100 canbet)

UL-Lafeyette +29.5 over LSU (107/100 canbet)

Playing all for half my normal amount. Will add more if lines move with me. Most of these are obviously just taking the dog that catches their opponent in a nice sandwich game or at least w/ a big game on deck. Wake Forest I just believe has the talent to get w/in this # and lost 38-33 last year in a game where the stats were very close, with slight edges to WF. Teams usually step up their play early on when star players are hurt and I feel GA Tech, after playing well w/o DL Gathers for 2 games and RB Hollings for 1 is going to start feeling the effects of those losses very soon. Still think they are a solid team w/ good depth but those were 2 of their better players. Also like the fact that GA Tech's next game is against Maryland even thought they do have a bye next week. Even still I am sure they are waiting for revenge as they fumbled the game away to Maryland last year.

UCONN catches Miami off BC w/ FSU on deck and have been a great play as a dog of 20+ pts as they are 8-1 ATS last 9 in that spot. Miami did have a bye last saturday so the the sandwich game might not be as strong but mostly like the fact they play FSU the week after this one.

Navy catches AF off the big conference road upset or Utah w/ BYU on deck. AF is 0-7 ATS last 7 before BYU. AF is 3-7 ATS last 10 vs NAVY and the visitor is 9-5 ATS last 14 in series.

UL Lafeyette catches LSU off a win over Miss St and they will have FLA the week after this game. Big revenge game for LSU as they were destroyed by FLA last year and I am sure they feel this is their best shot as FLA has already lost to Miami and Kentucky played them close even though FLA special teams helped them. Lafeyette will be off a bye week so maybe they will have a trick or 2 for LSU and Lafeyette is an improving team in the sun belt and shutout UAB 2 weeks ago.


Should have more plays during the week but wanted to post these now in case the lines moved against me. Admittedly 3 out of 4 of these are based mainly on sandwich games and look aheads. Believe me it is still hard to lay $ on teams that got blown out by Duke, etc. However I have missed out betting on teams I originally liked in this spot but changed my mind. The OHIO cover against FLA when FLA was off Miami and Tennesse upcoming was one and Temple playing Miami who was off FLA with BC was another. Not saying dogs in this position always cover but I like my chances with these.

nice angles on these games.

Is Uconn your strongest play? Only thing that scares me is Coker can basically dicate how much Miami will win by. But I definitely think the play is Uconn +45 or more points because I think he rests a lot of players and sticks with a conservative game plan with FSU on deck.

I like the rest of your plays also- might pull the trigger on W forest if it gets to 14. Still smarting from Penn State last week. Oh Well still have 60% of my bankroll in tact.

In the middle of a move right now will get the gift certificate to you next week some time, sorry for the delay.

:D

Chenker,

Please take your time w/ the gift certificate. Hope your move is going well. I would say at 46.5 it is my top play but I also really like Wake Forest and would love the line to move to 14 but that's doubtful. Ya never know though as long as sportsinteraction is around ;) Do you still feel strongly about Fresno? For some reason I have not looked hard at that one yet but need to. For now just adding 2 plays:

TX Tech +7 over TX A&M(-120; 240/200)

Probably will put a little bit on the ML also. Mostly a play against A&M and their lethargic offense. Defensively they may create some turnovers and nice field position but I still like Kingsbury to get w/in the #. Tech had a nice breakout game last week, albeit against UNM and an injured QB, but I still think they are a better team than they have shown in the 1st few weeks. Scoring 24 pts on Louisiana Tech's defense does not get A&M's offense off the schneid(sp?) IMO and with this rivalry I think getting a TD with a good QB and solid overall team is good value.


Pittsburgh +2 over Syracuse (207/200)

Backing the waaay better defensive squad here. Cuse may have played Auburn tough but the game stats don't reflect that. Tough to go against cuse in the carrier dome but this Pitt team is just overall too much better for me not to. Don't expect Pitt to put up a ton of pts but I think their defense could hold syracuse to 17 or less. Also am looking at the total on this game of 47 and liking the under. Orangemen play better defense at home and I am looking for a 23-16 final and think the under has value. Any opinions on this total are appreciated.

Adding: WF/Ga Tech over 24.5 (110/100)

Both teams have alot of yds and there have only been 24 pts scored. It is very hot/humid here in Atlanta and I am hoping the defensive players start getting worn down. There have also been quite a few dropped balls and a potential TD was ruled out of bounds at the end of the half.

recap 7-5 +375

ytd 32-20-3 +2205

The Wake Forest win was especially nice as I have a few friends who are GA Tech fans. They were pretty opinionated about my betting against Tech. Because of the outright win I will be sure to get to work early Monday and put WF screensavers on a few of their computers :) GL to all next week.
