Weekend Bets

Saturday, October 3

Michigan +3.5 at Michigan St.

Tate Forcier cock teases me by sending this game to OT as time expires, but then the Wolverines screw me by missing 3 tackles on a run... I was 1 tackle away from covering if Michigan St. kicks a field goal to win, but instead.... final score MSU wins 26-20. LOSS

Alabama -16.5 at Kentucky

Closer than I thought, especially with Kentucky driving at the end of the game giving me a scare... but final score Alabama 38 Kentucky 20. WIN

Penn St -7.5 at ILLINOIS

As much as I hate betting against my alma mater, this line was too good to be true. It was my lock of the week, and despite a great first half from the Illini, Penn St. proved to be too good and pulled away in the 2nd half. Final Score Penn St. 35 Illini 17. Laid it on heavy for this game.... BIG WIN

Stanford -5 vs. UCLA

Late addition to my Saturday bets, but glad I did. Stanford is quickly becoming one of the most underrated teams, which makes them a gold mine for the time being. Final Score Stanford 24 UCLA 16. WIN

Ole Miss -10 at Vanderbilt

Another game time decision, but I couldn't pass this one up. That's why it's an addiction. Final score Ole Miss 23 Vanderbilt 7. WIN

Houston -14 at UTEP

This one should have been no contest, esp. since UTEP has been getting murdered by teams in the past few weeks. They lost to Texas 62-7! Houston's QB completed 51 of 76 passes for 536yards! Still, UTEP pulls off the upset 58-41. LOSS

Sunday, October 4

Texans/Raiders Over 42

This one hurts. I thought it was in the bag going into the fourth 29-6... but scoreless 4th? Fuck. LOSS

Titans -3 at Jaguars

Never betting on the Titans again... they are way over rated because of their success last year, but they have proved that last year was a fluke. Time to bench Collins for Vince Young. LOSS

Ravens +2 Patriots

Another let down. Damn it. Pats get lucky 27-21 LOSS

Cincinatti -6.5 at Cleveland

In the second half, Cinci made Cleveland's D look like the Steeler's D. LOSS

Giants -8.5 at Chiefs

Manning Brother's are taking over the NFL. Steve Smith steps up big for my shitty fantasy team. Giants Win 27-16 WIN

Bears -10 vs. Lions

Rule #1 of betting: never bet on a team you're emotionally invested in, but I couldn't resist backing Jay Cutler's cannon. Bear Down. Bears Win 48-24 WIN

Colts -10.5 vs. Seahawks

Another game time decision, but I couldn't pass this up cuz 1) I have a gambling problem and 2) Jay Cutler carved up Seattle's defense so I figured Peyton Manning could too. Manning is so sick I think I could play WR for him... Colts Win 34-17 WIN

Dallas -3 at Broncos

2 things to note from this game... Kyle Orton no longer has a neck beard and Tony Romo sucks. LOSS

Steelers -6.5 vs. Chargers

Rashard Mendenhall has a great game... congrats. Steelers win 35-14 WIN
