College Football Bet of the Day – October 21st, 2009

First of all I would like to apologize for not posting any picks this past weekend or Monday night. Unfortunately I was out of town part of the time and work is kicking my tail. We have an interesting Conference USA matchup tonight between Tulsa and UTEP and all signs point to a offensive show. I want to tell you to take the under, but instead I suggest you settle with UTEP +7.5. Good luck!

UTEP +7.5

Overall Record:

College Football 26-19 (this year) 131-110-1 (overall)
NFL 19-11 (this year) 122-83-5 (overall)
MLB 90-69-5
College Basketball 197-149-6
NHL 1-2
NBA 44-36

Chris White Getting Pissy With It

Chris White a backup offensive lineman for the Houston Texans had a bit of a problem this past week during their game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The issue was Chris had to go #1 very very bad. Owen Daniels said, “He couldn’t hold it, I guess.” “He didn’t want to play uncomfortable is what he said. I guess he had to go.” White was starting in place for Mike Brisel and he didn’t want to leave the field so he did the only thing he thought would make sense. You got to do what you got to do in order to make plays,” White said. “I just did what I had to do to try to make a play.”

Top 10 Reasons Why T.O. is Having a Bad Season

After six games playing with the Buffalo Bills Terrell Owens has put up some less than stellar numbers. T.O. has 15 receptions for 215 yards which accounts for less than 36 yards a game plus he only has one touchdown. Everyone except Terrell knew he was declining in talent, but I don’t think we knew it would get this bad this quick.

Here are the top ten reasons why T.O. feels his season has gone awrie.

#10
Don’t ask me, I just run the plays they call.

#9
My reality show distracted my offseason focus.

#8:
You can’t expect me to catch passes if they don’t throw the ball to me twenty times a game.

#7:
Trent Edwards? Really?

#6:
I should still be in Dallas. I was great in Dallas. Jerry Jones said so.

#5:
It’s very very cold in Buffalo.

#4:
I miss Jeff Garcia…err I mean Donovan McNabb…err I mean Tony Romo.

#3:
Going over the middle is highly overrated.

#2:
The popcorn in Buffalo isn’t the same for some reason.

#1:
My hyperbaric chamber got lost between the move from Dallas to Buffalo.

Big Betting Day In College Football

Hawaii at Idaho (-8) – Do you know who the best cover team is in the country right now? I do and it is the Idaho Vandals. Idaho is 5-1 overall and 6-0 ATS. Their lone loss came at Washington and this team actually won at Northern Illinois and Colorado State. Very impressive. Who am I to bet against them. I love any opportunity to bet on the Vandals!! I am betting Idaho to cover!!!

Central Michigan at Western Michigan (-6.5) – Central Michigan is one of the best cover teams in the nation sitting at 5-1. With their lone ATS loss at Buffalo by 1.5 points or so, depending on where you got the line.  I have been lucky that my man crush Dan LeFevour rewarded me nicely two years ago when he was 100% healthy and has rewarded me again this year. I am betting Central Michigan to cover!!!

Houston at Tulane (-17) – Houston will run and gun and sling it all over the place. Toolame is not that good and still have the swine flu lingering around campus. Never a good combo..bad football and swine flu. . I am betting Houston will crush

Okie_Reality

Oklahoma at Texas (-3) – The Sooners need this game more, but Texas is just too good right now. Bradford is not close to 100% and Stoops cannot win big games. McCoy is primed for a huge game. He will get it this week against the Sooners. Oklahoma is another one of those early season teams that had uncertainty on their O-line. This has not been solved due to injuries and Texas is going to bring a nasty defense to the Texas State Fair. If you watched last week’s game, Sam Bradford is not ready to go and one more week of practice will help but will certainly not make him comfortable. These teams look very similar on paper but we think the difference will be QB and O-line and Texas wins both of those matchups. And how could we forget Big Game Bob Stoops. Big Game Bob is 0-4 ATS in his last 4 in this series and I expect the pain to continue. I am betting Texas to cover!!!

College Football Bet of the Day – October 15th, 2009

Cincinnati is a very good team, but have they played a real stout team yet? Fresno, Miami Ohio, Oregon State, Rutgers and the list goes on. I know the schedule isn’t that much more impressive for the South Florida, but I’m leaning to them due to being at home this evening on national TV.

South Florida +2.5

Overall Record:

College Football 26-18 (this year) 131-109-1 (overall)
NFL 19-11 (this year) 122-83-5 (overall)

The New Rage – UFL Fantasy

Have you watched any of the UFL? Ya know, the minor league NFL? Wait, does it still not ring a bell? It’s Wednesday Night Football on Versus so do you mean everyone doesn’t wait all week in order to make trades, waiver pick ups, and talk trash to the other guys in the league?

ufl_logo1

The UFL is happening in a town near you as long as you live in Las Vegas, New York, the Bay Area and Orlando. You should adopt a team and call your local talk radio station and discuss the Las Vegas Locomotives battling the Florida Tuskers game tonight in a battle of the unbeaten.

Anyway I have been looking for a start-em/sit-em blog cuz I am in a dilemma on to who to start.  Should I play at RB Obafemi Ayanbadejo, Shaud Williams or Tatum Bell? YES, the Tatum Bell who in 2005 had over 900 rushing yards and 8 receptions for another 180 along with 8 TDs for the Denver Broncos. Bell was a fantasy stud to say the least.

Anyway, I kid but if it weren’t for the Boise State and Tulsa college football game on at the same time I may have watched more of it. What I have seen is good football with most of the guys having some NFL experience. These guys are playing in a four team league, but still having a blast because they are still playing. All of them are hopeful they can get picked up for the stretch drive by a contender in the NFL.  Heck, when you consider JP Losman or Brooks Bollinger they could get a call by Jump Suit Al Davis any day now.

College Football Bets of the Day – October 14th, 2009

Boise State is on a mission for respect and even though Tulsa isn’t ranked they have been a pretty decent team over the last couple of years. The spread is a little high, but I’m going with the Broncos.

Boise State -8.5
Boise State/Tulsa under 53.5

Overall Record:

College Football 25-17 (this year) 130-108-1 (overall)
NFL 19-11 (this year) 122-83-5 (overall)

Happy Birthday Mr. John Wooden

We would like to wish a very happy birthday to the Wizard of Westwood. John Wooden quite possible the best college basketball coach of all-time turns an impressive 99 years old today. It can be argued for days on what is the best college basketball program of all-time, but is there really any debate on who is the elite college basketball coach ever? I know the college basketball scene was a little different back in the day, but Wooden and his Bruins won seven consecutive national titles from 1967-73. UCLA and Wooden won 10 national championships in his last 12 years and during that time won 88 consecutive games at one point and also 38 straight NCAA tournament games. Unreal!

Happy Birthday John Wooden!!
