Championship Week Picks

Reviewing the last real week of College football games you will notice the absence of many of the over/under bets.  Most of these games involve either Conference Championship combatants or other intra-conference games to finalize the year.  I guess the oddsmakers believe that there is too much variance in these games to accurately predict an over/under, maybe they will open them up later in the week when the weather situation settles.

Anyway, I picked all the games with the exception of two. I have 6 PLAYMAKERS which I will discuss this week on David Nuno and Robert Neagli Show on 1560THEGAME.  If your out of town try listening online, hopefully I can get the call in on Thursday.

My picks are below in BOLD:

West VA -1 @ S Florida  I like under 55
Northern Ill @ Ohio +4
UCLA @ Oregon -32 (get it early before it rises)
Southern Mississippi @ U of Houston -14 (get it early before it rises)
U Conn @ Cincinnati -10 (buy down a half point just in case)
Idaho @ Nevada -20
Fresno St @ San Diego St -8
Wyoming -5.5 @ Colorado ST
Mid Tennessee @ North Texas -5 (I would take the first half instead at -2)
Virginia Tech -7.5 (I would by down a point) @ Clemson
Mich ST +10 @ Wisconsin
Georgia +14 @ LSU

I did not pick Texas/Baylor due to Texas being crazier than a drunken John Granato and Io St/ Kansas St because I just cant decide in a winner.  I would pick Kst if you put a gun to my head.

Good luck and I hope you enjoyed the picks this year.

Rivalry Week Results

Going into the last week of the regular season, which for NCAA Football includes the Conference Championship Games, I am  118-61 66% on all games picked and 47-15 76% on Playmakers.  Not too bad, Im still ahead of my previous best season by 4 points.

This past weeks Playmakers included the following winners:  Miami O/Ohio under, W. Michigan, U of Houston, LSU, Wyoming and I had one loser:  Kent State.

After looking at the Sat night schedule I added in (but not for my record keeping pursposes Stanford and USC, with USC being my biggest play of the year.  I have to thank one of the guys I consult for inquiring about the game, otherwise I would have missed it.  I stay away from the late games because Im usually footballed out by 9PM, but if you missed this gimme then you missed a big one.

The last week of the season starts this week, not counting bowl games, so expect to see some posts by WED night.

Week 12 Results

Going into Thanksgiving, Im pretty happy that we are winning.  This was a good week going 9-3 over all and 4-2 with the Playmakers.

Winners were:  Ball State and the over, Arkansas and LSU.  Losers were Georgia and Western Michigan scoring more than 28.  Honestly, still, I think those last two were locks and I still dont understand the circumstances that led to them failing.  But as my Mom says, "if, but, whaaaaaaa".

Season win rate for all games 67%
Season win rate for PlayMakers 75%

With the holidays approaching I will try to get info up the best I can.  Again email me if you want a special review of an opportunity.  This past week I helped others by picking:  Wyoming Under, USC, Kansas St, TX AM, Cal...   where I failed:  Southern Miss, Wisconsin and I really sold Georgia.

Nov 18 Week 12 Picks

Im super swamped at work and Im offering the following to you for your viewing pleasure.  These are feeling based as I did not rake the numbers, therefore no further Playmakers at this time.  If things change this weekend Ill post it- sorry

Toledo -15 @ C Mich
Akron +12 @ Buffalo
E Michigan @ Kent St -3

UK @ Georgia -31
Miss St @ Ark -14
Vandy @ UT +2
LSU -31 @ Ole Miss

Watch weather this weekend for the O/U plays...  the cold has not helped passing teams.

November 16 plays

Ohio -7  @ Bowling Green and under 60

Although I like West Michigan in general at +2 (looks like a trap spread), I took their team o 29

I really don't think Miami Ohio will keep up w them when they get down

Kill'em!

Nov 15 Play

I attached my ticket, parts blocked out that are nunabiz, as I played the game last night but could not post.

Week 11 Results

Sorry for the late post, but work comes first.  I will have my picks for tonight and any other non-standard game more than an hour prior to start.

Last week I went 10 for 18 in all games and 5 for 7 on Playmakers.  Winners were:  N. Ill, Miami Ohio, Kent, Vanderbilt and Wisconsin.  Losers:  Florida and Alabama

It was a tough week as the books won many one sided plays and hit the mark on many games.

Better luck next week.

Nov 11 SEC and MAC Plays for the week

This week was actually good to me, but that bust in last nights four team round robin hurt a bit.  Looking back, both round robins missed by a total of 7 points for paying off big.  But that is the business, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.  The point is to grind it out with the cream of the crop- the PLAYMAKERS.

There were two this week (Toledo Over and Ohio -7) both paid off.  I have identified four additional games this week that should have a high rate of return.  Listen to David Nuno and Robert Neagli today between 10-Noon for the PLAYMAKERS.

Here are my regular picks, my choice in bold:

Buffalo +3.5 @ E Michigan
Kent St -6 @ Akron  this might be first game Kent is favored

Florida +3.5 @ South Carolina
Kentucky @ Vandy -13
Auburn @ Georgia -13
Tennessee +15 @ Ark
Alabama -18.5 @ Miss St
La Tech @ OleMiss +3

Here is some other choice picks that may ammuse you

Texas-1.5
Tex Tech +18
Wisconsin -27
Kansas St +5
Boise -15
Stanford -3.5

Nov 10 MAC Game

Im doing a round robin with the following:

Ohio -6.5
Ohio/CMichigan Under 30 first half
Houston -20.5 first half
Georgia Tech Under 25 first half

I hope you liked the play last night, both winners.

Nov 9 MAC Game

Miami Ohio +14 @ Temple  I like the over 44

Nov 8 MAC Games

Tonight there are two MAC games to play, both have meaning for the teams that may be their divisions champion.

Northern Ill -5 @ Bowling Green  (spread started at -7)
O/U 65 OVER
predicted score:  41-32


Western Michigan @ Toledo -12 (spread started at -10)
O/U 68 OVER
predicted score:  28 - 50

There is a lot of action occurring on these games.  Get in on Toledo quick and wait on NI and the spreads will come into your favor.  My PlayMakers:  There is one listed above and here is a free-be:  tease Toledo and the over for the best chance to win.  Nothing is guaranteed, but I like the tease.
