YTD 20-37-1

What can I say other than the fact that I am not sure I can a winning bet on a total this year. I mean 5-17-1 if I give you a total to bet I want you to laugh in my face and immediately place a wager against me in that case. In all honesty though the sides have not be nearly as bad of late and we will continue to work through this. I will fight my brains off to still finish this season up units. This is where I wound insert the motivational tim tebow speech, but first we have to have a week where I just get up off the mat and put some winners together lets make that this week.

Sides YTD 15-20-0

Kentucky vs Ole Miss (-15.5)

It is my belief that Kentucky is getting to much credit from the public for their game against Georgia in Lexington. Playing Lane and the Rebs down in Oxford is a different beast and I don’t think those Kentucky Cats got the horses to keep up in this one.

Nebraska (-10) vs Purdue

I like for Big Red to bounce back after a gut wrenching loss to the Illini last week. Purdue is currently also the worst version of a Purdue team.

Maryland vs Indiana (-7)

Curt has these absolutely rolling in Bloomington. Curtis Rourke is the truth and I will be laying down serious coin on the Hoosiers the rest of the year.

Navy (-4) vs UAB

This Navy team can throw the football. Such an odd statement to make. Give me the Midshipman to invade Birgmham AL. Another odd statement to make since it is landlocked.

Louisville (+7) vs Notre Dame

This Notre Dame has been very difficult to get a beed on this year. This game being played in front of a sleepy ND crowd at 1:30 in the afternoon and catching a TD I will roll with the Cards.

Arkansas (+5.5) vs Texas A&M

Arkansas and Texas A&M are not capable of playing a normal football game together. Give me my hogs and the points fuck it.
Oklahoma (+1) vs Auburn

Auburn is coached by a charlatan that does nothing but throw his players under the bus. Give me the Sooners to go get their first SEC win on the plains.
Stanford vs Clemson (-22)

Its a wonder what your team can look like when you are not playing Georgia. Tigers roll the Card in this one.

Georgia (-1) vs Alabama

What can I say I always bet the dogs against the tide and now that Nick Saban is retired I can actually feel good about georgia having the coaching advantage in this one.

Illinois (+18) vs Penn State 

This line feels like such a trap with so many people on the Illini and getting 18 points. Call me a rat, because I will take the cheese on this one.

Ohio State (-23.5) vs Michigan State

The buckeyes fell just short for me last week that will not happen against sparty. Here is an interesting question in this matchup will the Buckeyes Defense or the Michigan State offense score more points for their team?

Arizona vs Utah (-9)

Utah at night. Need I say more?

Totals YTD 5-17-1

Nebraska vs Purdue (Over 47.5)

Raolia gets back rolling for the huskers. Just need a little juice from Purdue in my estimation.

Oklahoma State vs Kansas St. (Under 57.5)

These teams just don’t seem to be as good as we may have thought they would be coming into the season.

Louisville vs Notre Dame (Over 46)

This total just seems a bit to low for my blood.

Arkansas vs Texas A&M (Over 51)

I would be a liar if I told you I knew what is going to happen in this game. All I know is that it will be blackout drunk like it always is in Arlington. 

UNC vs Duke (Over 56)

UNC gave up 70 last week to JMU. What does Mack Brown have left in the tank?

Parlay of the week

Ohio State -23.5, Indiana -6.5, Georgia -1

YTD 0-4
