We had one of these on the classic board.

And with football season coming up, let's go on with the picks!!!

[Penguin Rick]

So far, I'm looking at these for the weekend:

Cal -4.5
Mizzou -9
Tenn -8
and maybe Oregon -20

[machwa]

Hmm...these are sticking out to me.


Missouri/Ill over 59.5
USC -19.5
I want so badly to pull the trigger on Mich -3 :confused:

[Penguin Rick]

USC does really well in out of conference road games... but I'm not confident in their offense with all the injuries.

[mongo]

that usc line is FUCKING huge.

[ShitBreak]

I know it's a bit of a homer thing...

But Oklahoma State -7 against Wazzu is insane. If OSU wins by less than 7, i'll pay you back myself.

Is Broncos +3 tonight as sexy as it looks on paper?

[Penguin Rick]

No.

Bilicheck has a way of fixing miscues in the Pats defense. And that Broncos defense is pretty bad, so I think the Pats may find a way to put some points on the board.

[Da Raider]

what's the o/u?

[NOTKyle]

48.5

[NOTKyle]

I can't wait for the NBA season to start so I can start parlaying like a motherfucker.

The NFL is way too hard to predict, anybody can win anygame.

[Penguin Rick]

I suck at the NBA. The NFL and NCAAF is where it's at for me.

Soccer is good for me too, but I don't get as much gains from it.

Is Broncos +3 tonight as sexy as it looks on paper?
no

[NOTKyle]

Hush sweetie.

I won on the Pats -3 anyway, my bet advisor Rick took care of things.

[Jericho]

I don't know how I feel about you calling me sweetie, Kyle

[bones12]

what's the o/u?

48.5


They live in mansions for a reason...

[NOTKyle]

Interesting:

Sports books pay as if Phillies won


Despite what appeared to happen Monday night in Philadelphia, the Tampa Bay Rays lost Game 5 of the World Series. At least in the view of Nevada sports books, the Phillies won 2-1.

The game was suspended because of rain in the middle of the sixth inning with the score tied 2-2. The Rays had tied it in the top of the sixth when Carlos Pena's two-out single scored B.J. Upton.
However, even though the suspended game is scheduled to be completed today, the betting result is final.

According to Nevada gaming rules -- often referred to as "house rules" -- the final score of an official game is determined by reverting to the last completed inning. The Phillies led 2-1 after the fifth.

Las Vegas sports books are paying off Game 5 side bets on Philadelphia, which was about a minus-170 favorite. Wagers on totals and run-line bets are being refunded because rules stipulate that at least 81/2 innings must be played.

"We're just following the regular baseball rules. This is a very common rule," Las Vegas Hilton sports book director Jay Kornegay said. "We can't make exceptions.

"There was no special disclaimer for World Series games, or any playoff games for that matter, that your bet would continue if the game was suspended. It's one of those unfortunate misunderstood rules of baseball betting."

Kornegay expects some bettors to be confused about the rules, but he said there should be no controversy.

"There will be some upset people," he said. "It's unfortunate because it could be one of the worst bad beats you can get if the Rays come back and beat the Phillies. But it's not a bad beat yet."

Kornegay said the Hilton will post a proposition bet today on the conclusion of Game 5. The Phillies, who have an advantage because they still get to bat in the sixth inning, will be money-line favorites and the wagers will be paid "whenever the game is finished," Kornegay said.

Today's weather forecast in Philadelphia calls for more rain, so another delay is possible.

It is anticipated that Tampa Bay will send rookie left-hander David Price to the mound when the game resumes. Philadelphia also will go with a reliever after ace Cole Hamels pitched six innings monday.

[NOTKyle]

You can't blame them, it's the house rules.

Glad I didn't bet on that game though.

[bones12]

Shouldn't that technically mean the Phillies won the World Series then, paying out anyone who bet on them to win the World Series?

Clearly not, but it's as valid a point as their house rules on this one. Talk about just about the worst possible beat you can have...if the DRays end up winning Game 5, that would be a freaking dagger.

I haven't placed a sports bet in close to 2 years I think, I miss that rush.

[Penguin Rick]

Browns -3 for tonight.

The Texas/TTU ending pissed me off, so I need this to work for me.

[NOTKyle]

New QB though Rick?

I know the Broncos are stumbling and everything, but what's your reasoning?

[Penguin Rick]

Honestly, the Browns can pound it into the middle of that run D with Jamal Lewis and I don't think they can stop him. That could be their points supply.

[hooshies]

Lets keep this thread alive with some NBA parlays. Last night I this set up:

Lakers -6
Denver -2
Pistons moneyline

I had a 4 team parlay that paid 16:1 over the weekend...if the Denver-Memphis game had gone over, I would be a very happy man.

[Penguin Rick]

Half unit on the Browns ML tonight.

[NOTKyle]

It's a damn good line, I don't get the over confidence people have in the Bills.

[White Rhino]

I got 20 on the bills to cover.

[mongo]

Half unit on the Browns ML tonight.

[Penguin Rick]

If Florida's spread is less than 100 this week, I might have to take it.

[White Rhino]

This week might be the first time, this season, I can bet the Huskies to beat the spread.

[resolva]

Won £100 on a footy bet last weekend! Lets hope this continues!

[Penguin Rick]

Arizona +3 on Thanksgiving night

[Penguin Rick]

And Dal -13 plz.

[Penguin Rick]

I woke up too late to make a lot of bets, but I took UF/FSU over 54. I expect Florida to cover that themselves.

And Hawaii -28.

[Penguin Rick]

NE -5
Phi +7.5
Tenn -14

[Zilchoid]

Saints/Bears under 44.5.

It's like taking candy from a baby...

[Zilchoid]

For Wild Card Weekend, I'm going with all of the road teams.

Interestingly:
-All four of the road teams are favorites.
-Three of the four favorites have bird-themed mascots.
-Saturday's lines are both -1.5.
-Sunday's lines are both -3.5.
-Only one of the teams playing during this year's Wild Card Weekend played during last year's Wild Card Weekend. (Chargers)

What does all of this have to do with picking the right teams? Absolutely nothing.
