UCF -4.5 vs cinn
LSU -26 vs USU
army +3 vs tulane
and a parlay on those last four

i did this as fast as possible this morning because the more i think the worse i do. as a result missed a line or two i'd like to have taken, but i think a couple of these are more or less sure things.

Reign on me.
Yesterday when I woke up I saw my favorite College team the Miami Hurricanes were favored over VT by 14. The same team that beat Central Michigan at home by 5.

So I finally broke down and made a deposit on Bovada and wagered both on VT to cover and then a smaller wager of VT to win outright. It felt great for my team to lose for once.

Then I doubled down, and bet the Pats to cover today and that made their win way more tolerable as well.

I should have been betting against my lovely teams and on the Pats for years now, god drat it.

I came back from a hiatus from sports betting to go in hard on Patriots +150 against my hometown Chiefs in the playoffs last year because I thought it was effectively free money.

I have very conflicting feelings about Dee Ford.

Also the Jets defense has quietly been playing fairly well with zero support from the offense. As for the Cowboys, they've been truly tested for the first time this season in these past two weeks and dropped both games. I can see them bouncing back after the Packers beat that rear end, but what I like more on this game is Under 44.5. Just given where both teams are I'd expect the offenses to be fairly conservative.

Unlike, say, Tom Brady and the Pats who covered in heroic fashion on Thursday. Surely I'm not the only one who got a kick out of their reaction to the Giants calling a cheeky timeout with ~4:30 left down by 14, only for Brady to go deep and then sneak it twice for the score. Shoulda just rolled over!

More often than not Clemson DOESN'T cover. Dabo values getting his 2nd and 3rd string guys reps over margin of victory

Holy poo poo. Didn’t know this thread was here.

My big bet of the day today is a 5k parlay on Chiefs -3.5 and o54.5.

Fun bet of the day would be Jets ML. I think there is value there but I don’t quite have the guts to bet it.

I honestly see it as a toss-up (covering that is)... Jawon Pass is out the rest of the season, and while Louisville has had success rotating their 2nd and 3rd string QBs in, they haven't experienced a defense as aggressive as Clemson's.

On the flip-side, Dabo doesn't give a poo poo about covering, and if Clemson starts rolling early, the starters are coming out so he can get his other guys some reps.

The only problem with those types of bets is the vig is really large, not that 10% isn't already impossible. They add in extra fluff to cover their butts.

Yeah I was only getting 1.09 or something. I ended up doing the over which I feel like could have happened if Mahomes didn’t die.
