Agreed.  The options are generally limited.  But we can start to add in some bowl picks with next week's lines.  And as has been par for the course over the last few weeks, your plays mimic my bigger actual plays - I have Dallas, Chicago, and the Giants as well.  That said, I will assume you want the Cowboys at +3 and not -3.

i validly like east wash....and big

like the jets as well

the others im hoping im wrong for the eagles sake

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

How many "units" big are we talking here with Eastern Washington?


And I hate the farging Jets.  They should play angry, bounce back, and beat the Dolphins by 3 TD's... but they'll probably have to come back and won't cover.  fargers.

[ice grillin you]

it will be a game time decision for me but ill probably put a dollar on it...but they may be more of a product of there not being any other games as opposed to how much i love them

BUT

nd state beat kansas this year

nd state state beat a pretty good montana state team last week by 25

the same montana state that beat eastern washington by 23

i normally dont believe in the transitive property when betting but i cant for the life of me figure out why east wash is laying five here

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The "transitive" factor may very well have an impact on the line even if it doesn't actually impact the outcome of the game.  You just gave a logical explanation why the line is pretty small.  Hell, you make it sound like ND State should be favored by 5 or more.

[ice grillin you]

im picking eastern washington because i think its a sucker bet...not because i think they are > 5 pts better

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So, you're picking Eastern Washington because everything you know about the two teams says that ND State should be favored?

That's deep, man.



I just parlayed the Michigan and Siena moneylines.  Not a bad payoff at -130.  Also, I have the Lakers -1.5 and Pacers -6 at -105 each, the Pacers -3.5 first half, and the Pacers, Spurs, and Heat moneylines parlayed at about +110.  In short, farg the farging Bobcats.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

By the way this sweetjones55 guy who has been on fire of late has the Pacers -3.5 1H and Knicks -1.5 1H.  If you're into those sorts of things.

[PhillyPhreak54]

He's off the Knicks now

[Eagles_Legendz]

I love the jets this weekend too.

Balt -3 looks nice unless you buy an emotional letdown post Pitt.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He's off the Knicks now

His "bad gut feeling" is probably related to the line moving to -1.

Balt -3 looks nice unless you buy an emotional letdown post Pitt.

The "emotional let down" game is usually reserved for the winning team.

[Eagles_Legendz]

Usually but I think there might be an exception after the way that game played out.  The line just looks low to me.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The Jets are very shaky ATS in general, and the Fins are unpredictable.
