Threw a small bet on Oregon -25.5. First game as number 2 ranked team, will want to go number 1 when there's a good chance Oklahoma could fail to cover this weekend, at home on national television, visiting team missing their star QB, and having witnessed what Oregon did to Stanford and Tennessee in their respective second halves. Didnt want to bet on this game, but I'll be watching it so I wanted to make it more interesting. Either way, only threw a tenner on it.

funny how different we view this one

my thought process. Number 2 ranked know if they win out they make the big dance so pressure to score style points now gone causing a drop in performance levels. Visiting teams "star" QB Prince having a nightmare season so backup likely to perform better

so almost the exact opposite view lol

Well I'm just gonna enjoy the game. I can see merits to both sides and having looked deeper into it I think its a very close call. I can see it being a minimum two touchdown win for the Ducks but I can see them winning by up to 42 points as well. And it skews the over/under as well which is three points above what I'd like for the over.

Navy are 10-0 at games with that cystic fibrosis kid on the sideline. Wtf, why didn't any preview tell me this? May as well have thrown my money down the drain!

Nothing too special but I was delighted with this one from last nights college football

Fr Tierney · 24-10-2010 02:42PM

Not a lot of good results for the college games, but as I said before keep them coming. I'm not afraid to lose for a few weeks and we have to click at some stage

.
Going to try 3 games myself this weekend, to see how good my knowledge is.
Steelers -3 @ 20/21
Saints -13 @ 10/11
Titans -3 @ 1/1

There are some very good games this weekend and hopefully but the monday night game is going to be the best, hopefully.
As bad as the cowboys need a win, I cant see them beating the Giants, but the cowboys have to win this or their season is over, so I'm expecting a close game and the Giants to win by 4 or 5+.
Happy betting all.

Trampas · 07-11-2010 12:57PM

just having a quick look and i like pats -3.5 but i might make a double by backing the money instead with something else

skeleton_boy · 08-11-2010 12:53AM

Do over and under points totals count in overtime? Cause I've Chiefs and Raiders over 41.0

Overtime counts.

skeleton_boy · 08-11-2010 01:10AM

Just noticed. Really something I should of looked into before. Need my Packers -10 to bring up a 16/1 accum on the late games

Peyton Manning · 08-11-2010 01:19AM

What a bloody fantastic weekend. Made a nice profit of 52 points alone on this weekend's action

eagle eye · 08-11-2010 01:23AM

Bank 113.4

I like a lot of stuff tonight. I feel certain this game is going to be very high scoring. I think Aaron Rodgers is certain to go over 300 yards tonight. I think John Kitna will definitely go very close to 300 yards if not break that figure. I see the Packers hitting the 30s at least in the scoring stakes here and I think Dallas will score over 20. I'm not taking the handicap bet on because we just don't know for sure how good Kitna can be. Last week he had 4 interceptions but only one of them was his fault, the rest were drops by receivers. He still ended up with 379 yards in that game, admittedly against a poor D but the Packers have been very poor in pass defense over the last while too. Felix Jones is due a big game and I think this could be his night. All it would take is Kitna hitting a couple of receivers early to open up some lanes for him and once he gets free he is one of the best downhill runners in the game.

This game has a lot of real interesting bets.

12 points over 46 points
12 points Aaron Rodgers over 280.5 passing yards.
12 points John Kitna over 250.5 passing yards.
6 points Greg Jennings over 78.5 receiving yards.
6 points Felix Jones over 52.5 rushing yards.
