FF (+$10)
1. Pitt pick at WVU

IGY
1. Clev St -2 at Detroit

So, why do you like the Vikings tonight? Is this a legit lean or a hedge against something bigger you have going on?

legit bet

cleveland st beat them at home by 12 a couple weeks ago so im banking on them covering 2 on the road

deep thinking going on in the fed. govt today

nothing really jumps out at me tonight. i'm curious to see what the line is on UNC-Duke on Wednesday. UNC has someone gone from ridiculously overrated to underrated. Kenpom has them 11th.

I thought you usually talked yourself into the opposite wager when a line seemed oddly small.

Well, they were. I'm up $15, and we each have 4 picks left this week. Yay Pitt.

how the f does dallas start out as 8-1 favorites to win the SB next year? they are third best odds.

They are always overrated by the type of bettors who would bet a Super Bowl XLVI future today.

Nice. I was leaning Drake here, so I will take them at +1.5 to make this more interesting.

PoopyfaceMcGee · February 08, 2011, 10:11:03 PM

Up $20. We each have 3 picks left.

Today I am taking the Magic -1 at the Sixers.

ice grillin you · February 09, 2011, 02:19:49 PM

ill take the magic as well and carolina +10

PoopyfaceMcGee · February 10, 2011, 06:48:23 AM

Well done. I'm up $15 with 2 picks remaining. You have 1 pick remaining.

I'm taking Florida State -1.5 at Georgia Tech tonight. Love this matchup. Not sure why, but the oddsmakers completely overrate both UGA and GT in basketball, especially Tech. They suck hard, and FSU can play some D and mix it up. I might bet this one even if the line were 4 or 5, but I'll gladly take 1 1/2.

ice grillin you · February 10, 2011, 07:17:59 AM

im not saying thats a bad bet or that florida state wont win by 15 but every acc game that doesnt include duke or wake (and now probably nc) is basically a 50/50 toss up regardless of spread...they all basically suck and anyone can beat anyone on a given night...theres no rhyme or reason at all to that conference

and even wake is playing people tougher now

PoopyfaceMcGee · February 10, 2011, 09:05:49 AM

And yet you bet on Maryland pretty much every time that they play?

ice grillin you · February 10, 2011, 10:22:58 AM

not cause i think they are gonna cover but because i want them to lose so bad
