Wednesday, Oct 11, 2017 - NCAA Football Game
8:00 PM 101 South Alabama +16½
102 Troy -16½
(Troy gets to build on their win @ LSU, but 1-4 South Alabama shouldn't offer much resistance)

Thursday, Oct 12, 2017 - NCAA Football Game
7:30 PM 107 Texas State +14½
108 UL Lafayette -14½
(The weakest Thursday of the season due to Miami / GT getting moved to Saturday)

Friday, Oct 13, 2017 - NCAA Football Game
7:00 PM 109 Clemson -23
110 Syracuse 23

(Cuse has improved under Dino Babers, and sits at 3-3, with all three losses coming by 9 points or fewer, including competitive losses @ LSU and @NC State. Clemson will be without their starting QB, which might keep it competitive early)

10:30 PM 111 Washington State -13
112 California 13

(Wazzu's first road game was pretty easy last week, thumping the Ducks without Herbert. Cal shouldn't be much better, last two games we've rushed 55 times for -32 yards)

Saturday, Oct 14, 2017 - NCAA Football Game
12:00 PM 125 Eastern Michigan 5
126 Army -5

12:00 PM 129 Connecticut +9½
130 Temple -9½

12:00 PM 135 Rutgers 2
136 Illinois -2
(This line somehow came out at Rutgers -1... when was the last time Rutgers was favored over a P5 school?)

12:00 PM 137 Texas Tech +3½
138 West Virginia -3½

(Texas Tech is a sneaky 4-1 with wins over Arizona State, Houston and a 1 score loss to Oklahoma State . WVU's lost two hard fought games to VT and TCU but their best win is against Kansas)

12:00 PM 139 NC State -12
140 Pittsburgh 12

12:00 PM 141 Michigan -6½
142 Indiana +6½

(Will be fascinating to see how Michigan responds to the upset loss to Sparty last weekend. Indiana is better than you think, soundly beating a decent UVA team and moving the ball against PSU and OSU)

12:00 PM 149 Kansas +20½
150 Iowa State -20½

12:00 PM 151 TCU -4½
152 Kansas State +4½

(Kansas State has had a disappointing season with really close losses to UT and Vandy... TCU has been running really hot and tries to keep it going on the road here)

12:00 PM 155 Florida State -6½
156 Duke +6½

(Schadenfreude is the primary reason to watch this game. Can FSU really start 1-4?? They seemed to find their identity last week in a last second loss to Miami)

12:00 PM 185 BYU 22
186 Mississippi State -22

12:00 PM 205 South Carolina +2½
206 Tennessee -2½

(Speaking of Schadenfreude...)

12:20 PM 147 Boston College 21
148 Louisville -21

2:00 PM 167 UNLV +7½
168 Air Force -7½

2:30 PM 153 Old Dominion +16½
154 Marshall -16½

3:30 PM 113 Purdue 16
114 Wisconsin -16

(Wisconsin's managed to rise through the ranks in spite of their best win being at #50 Nebraska. Purdue is 2p2's newest bandwagon team, and hopes to do some damage on the road)

3:30 PM 115 Northwestern -3½
116 Maryland +3½

3:30 PM 117 Miami Ohio -9½
118 Kent State +9½

3:30 PM 119 Ohio -9
120 Bowling Green 9

3:30 PM 121 Akron 14
122 Western Michigan -14

3:30 PM 123 Toledo -9
124 Central Michigan 9 -125

3:30 PM 127 Northern Illinois -4
128 Buffalo 4

3:30 PM 133 Virginia -4
134 North Carolina 4

3:30 PM 179 Vanderbilt 3
180 Mississippi -3

3:30 PM 181 Oklahoma -7½
182 Texas +7½

(The Red River Shootout lost some luster last week as OU got upset at home, but the Sooners are still very much live for the playoff if they win out. Herman seems to have righted the ship after that opening loss to Maryland, going 3-1 since then with wins over Iowa State and Kansas state and a 3 point road loss at USC)

3:30 PM 189 Baylor +25½
190 Oklahoma State -25½

3:30 PM 207 Auburn -6½
208 LSU +6½

(Orgeron quieted the critics for at least a week with a win over Florida that set offensive football back three decades. Auburn is ascending the rankings but still doesn't have a single good victory on their resume)

3:30 PM 223 Georgia Tech +6½
224 Miami Florida -6½

(Is Miami really back? How will they handle success? GT is about the worst possible team to play with a big-win hangover. Not sure how good the jackets are, they've basically beaten up on a light schedule since the opening 1 point fluke loss to the Vols)

3:45 PM 193 Navy 4
194 Memphis -4

(After a crazy win over Air Force, Navy is 5-0. Memphis bounced back from the UCF loss to absolute annihilate Uconn. The AAC is pretty legit this year with Navy, Memphis, UCF and USF)

4:00 PM 157 Houston -13½
158 Tulsa +13½

4:00 PM 175 Colorado -12
176 Oregon State 12

4:30 PM 163 Charlotte +16½
164 Western Kentucky -16½ -116

4:30 PM 165 Wyoming 3
166 Utah State -3

5:00 PM 161 Georgia State 7
162 UL Monroe -7 -103

5:00 PM 171 Appalachian State -13
172 Idaho 13

6:00 PM 195 New Mexico State -8½
196 Georgia Southern +8½

6:30 PM 159 Middle Tennessee State -4½
160 UAB +4½

7:00 PM 143 East Carolina 34
144 Central Florida -34

7:00 PM 145 Tulane -13½
146 Florida International +13½

7:00 PM 197 UTEP 23
198 Southern Miss -23

7:00 PM 199 Coastal Carolina 19
200 Arkansas State -19

7:00 PM 201 UTSA -3
202 North Texas 3

7:00 PM 203 Texas A&M 3
204 Florida -3

(Aggy struggled with Nicholls State and Lafayette, barely beat Arkansas and USCe, but then hung with Bama for four quarters. UF is sitting at 3-2 after running out of miracles against LSU. Winner of this game can breathe a little easier, loser starts to feel the pressure)

7:15 PM 187 Arkansas 30
188 Alabama -30

7:30 PM 183 Ohio State -24
184 Nebraska 24

(Losing to Northern Illinois, starting 1-2, then beating Ohio State would be literally the most Mike Riley thing ever)

7:30 PM 191 Missouri +30½
192 Georgia -30½

7:30 PM 221 Cincinnati +24½
222 South Florida -24½

8:00 PM 173 Utah 13
174 USC -13

(Finally! A Pac-12 game that might end before midnight EST. USC's been punished pretty hard in the polls for a totally reasonable short-week, injury filled, road loss to top-10 wazzu, but can score another good win here against a solid but not great Utah team)

8:00 PM 209 Michigan State -4½
210 Minnesota +4½

(How this line opened at -3 I will never understand. Free money is free, I guess)

9:00 PM 177 UCLA +1½
178 Arizona -1½

(You may not have noticed, but Pat White is back in college football! After their starting QB went down with injury, Arizona freshman backup Khalil Tate came in and ran for THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN YARDS AND FOUR TOUCHDOWNS (an FBS record for a QB)... and he did it on FOURTEEN ****ING CARRIES. He also completed 11/12 passes for 148 yards. And on the other side you have JOSH CHOSEN ROSEN. This game should be awesome)

10:00 PM 215 New Mexico +2½
216 Fresno State -2½ -125

10:15 PM 169 Nevada +24½
170 Colorado State -24½

10:30 PM 217 Boise State +7½
218 San Diego State -7½

(Watered down Boise figures to be SDSU's toughest competition for the rest of the regular season)

10:45 PM 213 Washington -17
214 Arizona State 17

(Surprisingly, this is Washington's toughest game so far this year. Unsurprisingly, it'll go until 3am EST)

11:00 PM 211 Oregon +10½
212 Stanford -10½

(Stanford's quietly ripped off 3 solid wins in a row, beating UCLA, ASU and Utah. Their last 4 games include Wazzu on the road and Washington and Notre Dame at home, and they have a potential rematch with USC in the P12CG... don't count them out just yet)

Sunday, Oct 15, 2017 - NCAA Football Game
12:00 AM 219 San Jose State 18
220 Hawaii -18

I'm legit shocked that Ole Miss is actually favored in a game. Did they, like, look good in the second half last week or something?

This is the born loser currently functioning as their head coach:



And here's their show of support for said loser:

Ole Miss Creates Head Coach Job Posting After 2-3 Start

I say do yourself a favor and bet on Vanderbilt to win, because this team ain't beating ****.

Auburn was basically resting all their starters much of the 2nd half against ole miss so they definitely looked serviceable against our backups. Vandy is definitely the better team here. The line is kinda weird.

Random Q, but anyone know where I can find more of these highlights of CFB games condensed into 30 minutes?

This guy does 3-4 every week

This guy does one once in a while

I would pay good money for this, but is there a better place to find them?

Really want to watch the Arizona game from last week among others

Current title bets

Just added:
Florida is literally A THOUSAND to one on bookmaker. A THOUSAND. I mean Florida sucks and they already have two losses but they control their own destiny. If they win out and manage to somehow beat Georgia and Alabama, they've gotta be a huge favorite to make the playoffs.

West Virginia is also 1000-1. Already borderline ranked and actually (unlike Florida) a decent team in the 20-25 range in power. If we beat Texas Tech at home and @ Baylor, we're ~20th. Oklahoma State at home, ISU, @ KSU v. Texas are all winnable. Then @ Oklahoma will be tough and then the stupid champ game is tough too, but 1000-1 is a loooot especially when the outcomes are somewhat correlated.

VT is now 250-1, which seems crazy since they control their own destiny and are likely to be favored in all games except @ Miami and a title rematch vs Clemson which would guarantee them a spot.

Sparty at 325-1 seems great too.

UCF at 100-1 is prob a sucker bet, but sign me up too.

AAC top tier of UCF, Memphis, USF, Houston and Navy went 4-1 against P5 (Maryland, Illinois, UCLA, Arizona, with only loss Houston to TTech ) and Navy still has ND ending. SMU is decent too.

UCF has the advantage of ending with USF in their last game and then if they get Houston in the final, will have beaten all four of those other AAC contenders. Houston might still have some cachet from last year too.

Plus, it's not just about MAKING the playoffs, but UCF is actually good and wouldn't be that insane of a dog to win if they get there

You think any Big 12 Champ with 2 losses would make the playoff? I mean, their 1-loss champ probably gets shafted (unless it's specifically Oklahoma, maybe).

WVU probably not, Oklahoma at 1-loss is > 80% to make it. Would happily bet at 80% odds that they make it if 1-loss. They would end on an 8 game win streak, would have beaten ~5-7 top-25 teams and would have scheduled aggressively OOC. That's gonna get rewarded.

WVU's problem is they lost the only marquee noncon game, but their losses are pretty early. They too would end on an 8 game win streak with a murderers row... and either get to avenge the TCU loss or TCU will drop 2 on their own between now and then. Also helps that neither loss was at home and both were by 1 score. Hell, I'm even bullish Texas making it in if they win out (as evidenced by by 500-1 bet when they were 1-2).


There's a LOT of games left, totally possible we see several 2 or 3 loss champions. Lots of chaos to come.



Totally plausible that USC wins the Pac-12 with 2 or 3 losses
Totally plausible that a 2-loss Stanford or Wazzu team could win it as well.

Totally plausible Michigan beats OSU and Penn State, but also loses to Indiana (line is less than a touchdown) then beats Wisconsin to win it... or Wisconsin could lose to Indiana and Michigan and win it etc.

SEC, it's almost impossible to see anyone other than Bama or an 11-1 Auburn coming out of the SEC-W, but you could easily have a two loss winner out of the East... UGA could lose 2 of their last 3 (@ Auburn and @ GT) and then win the title game. That's not crazy at all.

ACC, NC State could totally beat Clemson, lose to ND or @Wake and then win the ACC at 11-2... Clemson could lose 2 of their last 3 (FSU and @ South Carolina) then win the ACC... GT or VT could easily lose another game and then win the ACC.


Also remember that lots of contenders (USC, Stanford, Miami, NC State) all play Notre Dame so there's big chances to pick up an additional loss without getting buried in the conference race. ND could beat Stanford and NC State and lose to Miami and USC, and then have Stanford and NCS go on to win their respective conferences at 3 and 2 losses and also end up with 3 losses itself.

Very likely 1-loss Ok State or Texas Tech would make it too... their losses are reasonable and very early.

1 Loss TCU depends on where they lose... if they drop their finale against Baylor probably not. If they lose this week @ KSU then win out, very likely.

Big 12 is having a conf championship game this year so that will improve the big 12 champions chances of making it. A 1 loss ou/ok st is getting in over a 1 loss Washington/wazzou. Tcu will probably have to go undefeated
