early picks

[419gottamin]

UNLV +42 over Boise State

USC -20 over Colorado

1 unit each

CFB 3-3

Will be adding more as I watch line movement.

[419gottamin]

Really liking this USC squad. That's the third time this year they have made me money (once was before I started posting threads), and I haven't lost on them yet. Laid off of them last week when the spread dropped to +7.5.

Best of luck today

Go Bucks:beerbang:

[419gottamin]

more

Iowa +4 over Michigan

Indiana +28 over Ohio State

1 unit each

CFB 4-3

Hate to bet against my Buckeyes, but money is money. Thanks, Irish Mike. Hope they win by 27, and are on Indiana's 1 yard line when the game ends!

[419gottamin]

and again

As per my wishes, the Northwestern line just moved a half point.

Northwestern +17.5 over Nebraska

1 unit

CFB: 6-3

Why didn't I take Iowa on the money line? No guts, no glory. I saw this upset coming all week. Never mind that the officials helped, the final score is the final score. Left money on the table.

Nice call on Iowa...maybe cause you knew I liked the game you stayed away from the ML:laughing:

Good Luck with the NW play

[419gottamin]

LOL. Maybe that was the reason. NW looking good so far. Maybe I'll jump out on a limb and take LSU plus tonight! Thanks, Wick.

[419gottamin]

last one

Northwestern is gonna cover, so why not.

LSU +5.5 over Alabama

1 unit

CFB: 6-3

[419gottamin]

I guess all us LSU backers need to send Alabama's kickers a fruit basket or something! Thanks, guys.

Great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I should have taken your insight on IU/tOSU!

You going to PSU/Bucks game????:beerbang:

[419gottamin]

Thanks, Irish. I would love to go, but I actually live in Texas now. I'm from Lima, and will always be a fan. The last tOSU game I attended was when we kicked that Wolverine a** in The Stink House back in 2007. The Todd Boeckman year. Final was 14-3, and we threw 2 passes the whole second half. Beanie was the man. I was actually living in that state up north for a short time. Have you ever been to The Stink House? It is a pit compared to "The 'Shoe". And those putrid colors...

[joepa66]

Nice work 419! Lima? Sheesh, then you must be familiar with Hawthorne Hills.....I golf there every year in the spring! Actually know a few people from LCC. Small world! :thumbs:

[419gottamin]

Yeah, coach. I've played Hawthorne a few times. I got into golfing way too late in life. We probably know some of the same people. Incredible! Here I figured you were a Pennsylvania guy, but I know you follow the MAC, so I should have known better.

[joepa66]

Actually an hour from Pitts and an hour and a half from Cleveland and 2 hours from C-Bus! Graduated from OSU & Kent and have season basketball tickets to KSU and OSU football and love Kewpee Burgers in Lima! :beerbang:

[419gottamin]

That is so funny, coach. Myself and my older brother, who also lives down here, went home for a week over Labor Day. I swear to you, we ate at Kewpee every single day we were there. Did you know that Kewpee is where Dave Thomas got the idea for Wendy's? True story. He offered them a cut of the pie, no pun intended, and the owners turned him down. But, they gave him permission to take the idea and run with it, so he did. And the rest is history. So glad to hear that you're an OSU alum, as well. And, by the way, I actually like Penn State as well. Nothing but respect for your namesake.
