TCU is catching a ton of action and is squarely in "public dog" territory. People have become enamored with them and rightfully so.

The look ahead line (made in early/mid December) was anywhere from UGA -17 to UGA -15.5

Once the match-up was set it opened at -13.5 and has stayed pinned at that number for the most part (although Wynn in Vegas is a 12).

10-3-1 against the spread for TCU and 7-7 for Georgia.

If Duggan has time he could find some space throwing the ball against the Dawgs secondary.

I'll likely take TCU and buy it up to +14

Yeah that's one of the dumber ones. I'm always amazed at the people like that who take those shots. If you've got $1.4 to put down what's that $11k to you? Like $50 to a normal schmoe.

And if you do that knowing the Chargers are notorious for melt downs? A fool and his money...

I probably made a couple dozens bets on the derby, from straight bets all the way up superfectas and high fives or whatever the top 5 bet is called.  I didn't have the horse who won on any of them, and don't even recognize seeing the name anywhere once he won. I think my book left him off lol.

Probably one of the worst beats I've had

Five team parlay

Twins
Phillies
Angels
Braves -1.5
Reds

Sweating the Phils out and they eke out a win. Walk out of dinner and hop in the truck and see the god damn Angels blew a 6 run lead with three innings to go against the Royals.

Utterly ridiculous. Would've cleared well over a G.

I thought I signed up but just went to check and it seems as if it's gone?

Lions ML
Rangers ML
Nuggets ML
Golden Knights ML

+334

who else is in silver bullet?

I'm one of 4 people left out of 246 in suicide pool.  pretty crazy for week 4. can't find rules on whether it's winner take all or what.  I assume it is but can't verify.

phattymatty

never mind I found the pdf rules in email.  now that I typed this out I definitely jinxed it.

Penn state -28 vs ucla...seems like a gimme to take ucla with the points. What am I missing here?

PhillyPhreak54

UCLA is not very good.

Penn State can certainly lay an egg but the Bruins are bad.

Pick another game and let that one go. Could see like a 35-6 game late in the 4th and get backdoored.

SD

Line opened at psu -27...was -29.5 last I checked. The line move and spread just screams a Penn state blowout so I abstained.
