Never ever, ever, ever take S Florida when they're on the road. I have lived by this rule for the past 3 years and went against it on Thursday...bad idea. Although, I will say, all websites had Cincinnati starting a rookie QB for his 1st start and they come out with the dude who broke his arm a week or 2 ago with a cast on! Dude was spectacular. Anyway...
The NBA season is upon us and that gives us more chances to lose ( i mean make) money. 2 days in and I'm 2 games up...no big deal. I love New Orleans and I love the Rockets, even though they scare me a bit with their ability to score sometimes. I also love anyone playing the Nets and Bobcats...We'll see. Check back tomorrow for my CFB and NFL picks; some big time upsets may be brewin'....
Bye! BOOYA!

A few games I like this weekend...
Oct 24
Boise St @ San Jose St (+7.5)
-I think San Jose St covers here. Boise will win, but they play some close games on the road and these 2 teams rank 1 & 2 in the WAC in defense. I'm feelin 21-17 or something along those lines, not too high scoring and maybe a special teams or defensive TD in there somewhere.
Saturday, Oct 25
Wake Forest @ Miami, FL
-Miami -2.5...Wake's no good on the road
BC @ UNC
-take the under 42.5 here. Low scoring; BC's offense is struggling this year and UNC's "O" has backtracked since the loss of Tate.
E Michigan @ Ball St
-Ball St -25.5...I normally don't like conference games with lines this big, but Ball St is good and they have the best QB nobody is talking about in Nate Davis.
BYU @ UNLV
-Over 56 in this one. BYU is pissed about last weeks loss and will take it out on the Rebs. I think UNLV will put up a few TD's themselves...hence the over.
OK St @ Texas
-OK St is having a great season no doubt. But noone is playing better than Texas right now. The beat Oklahoma then came back and bounced back and pounded Mizzou when a lot of people didn't think they could. A high scoring affair but Texas covers the 12 they're giving to the Cowboys for sure. TX wins 45-30
TX Tech @ Kansas
-simple...over 67...
"Either roll with me or get rolled over...Cha Ching!"
-Frank
On another note...the captain obvious stat of the week from Sportsbook.com. TX Tech is 92-69 in all games played on Saturday since 1992...No SHIT!!! Texas Tech plays college football on Saturday? No idea. Idiots there at Sportsbook. First they don't pay out, then they lock you out of your account when you win big and now their spectacular research team comes up with this stat! Two words for them...BetJamaica!!
Good Luck! BOOYA!!!!

Monday night...
Denver (+120) @ New England (-140)
-I'm thinkin Denver with the money tonight. New England showed us last week that they're just not the same without Mr. Brady. Denver shold have their way with the Pats Db's and Marshall and Royal (if fully healthy) should have big games. NE is tough at home, but it'll be cold and the Broncos are used to that. Also, Shanahan has owned Mr. Hooded Sweatshirt the last few years. Maybe I'm just quick to dis the Pats after last weeks horrible game in SD, but I don't think so. Denver is good. The Pats are mediocre. Playing at home should make it fairly close (7pts), but look for Denver to be victorious.
Wanna know how I come up with my picks? Follow this link: http://shudog.betsports.hop.clickbank.net
Good Luck! BOOYA!!!!
oh yeah, also Rays in 6....

wow...
At least the Bears have a quarterback...The defense couldn't stop Matt Ryan or ANY of the Falcons receivers to save their lives! After the Bears scored to take the lead with 11 seconds left why not kick it deep? I realize that the Falcons just returned one to the Bears' 20 the last time, but you can't just give them the ball at the 40 only needing 20-25 yds for a realistic FG attempt. Especially with Jason Elam. The guy has made clutch kick after clutch kick his entire career, and he's kicking in a dome! Even after the short kick though, what were our Db's doing all day? Tillman got hurt and didn't finish the game, but they were horrible even with him. And with 11 11 seconds left just line up 5 Db's about 20 yds away and just make sure they don't get past you!!! Unbelievable....The only bright spot in the game was obviously Orton and the game he played. Maybe people will stop describing him as managing games and playing not to lose. Also, maybe this is the game when Devin Hester finally showed he can be a pretty good receiver. He made some nice catches and ran great routes all day long. Lets root for Seattle now so we can stay in first in the NFC North.
-In a toss-up with the Dodgers/Phillies tonight. On one hand I like the Dodgers coming back home and Kuroda on the mound. On the other hand Jamie Moyer just may be mediocre enough to frustrate the young Dodger hitters all night. Being young, they may pull a Cubs and press all night long trying to do too much against the Lefty just floatin' balls up there...Also, with all the Phillies left handed hitters they might have a big night. So, i guess I don't really have a pick here, but some good info for you to make up your own mind!
NE @ SD Chargers
-Chargers...
Good luck! BOOYA!!

Monday, Oct 6
Yes, I'm still alive after yet another Cubs collapse in the post-season. A Cubs fan living in L.A. it's pretty brutal right now...but i've also learned over the years how to deal with it and move on. There's always next year...
Today
Tampa Bay Rays (+121) @ White Sox
-Rays win in a low scoring affair and move on to the ALCS...a long baseball winter in Chicago...at least the Bears are surprising people in a good way!
Angels @ Red Sox
-Like the Sawx to close out this series as well...wouldn't it be something if the Dodgers meet the Red Sox in the WS? Manny going back to Fenway? Interesting...
MNF
Vikings @ Saints
-Like the Saints. Minnesota's defense hasn't lived up to expectations and they are getting nothing from the quarterback position. The Saints just keep putting up pts even with a load of injuries. I think they'll score almost at will if they can give Brees time. Even as suspect as the Saints D is I still don't think the Vikings will score with them. Saints 33-20.
Good Luck! BOOYA!!

3 college games tonight.
Pitt @ S Florida (-13)
-S Florida in this one. I think Pitt will try and keep the ball away from the Bulls but I also don't think they will. Pitt won't score either. S FL wins 31-13
Oregon St @ Utah
-Utah wins 35-20
I also like the Rays to win today big.
Good Luck! BOOYA!!

Payoffs? !
Is there anything better than the MLB playoffs? I mean for like 2 weeks we get games for 9 straight hours! Every pitch & at bat as intense as any during the regular season. We have the Rays, the freakin' Tampa Bay "Devil" Rays, in the playoffs and winners of the AL East. The Milwaukee Brewers, with help from the Mets of course, in for the first time in 26 years! As much as I can't stand them it's good for the game and for the NL Central. And as much as I hate them it's pretty special what the White Sox did to make it. They had to win 3 games in 3 days against 3 different teams just to get in. Talk about some pressure packed games! And is there any better matchup than the Cubs/Dodgers? Lou Pinella vs Joe Torre. Two of the most storied franchises in all of sports. That all being said here we go with some picks...
Milwaukee @ Philadelphia
-Gotta go with the Phils in game 1. Gallardo has been hurt all season and only made 1 start since May 3rd. Hamels on the other hand has been solid all year. Phils should be a huge favorite in this one and rightfully so.
Dodgers @ CUBS
-Being a die-hard Cubs fan I will not be making any predictions for any of their games. Sorry...
Red Sox @ Angels
-I'm thinking Boston takes the first game of this series. A slight underdog, I think Lester outdules Lackey. Lackey is either really good or really bad, there's not much in between with him. Plus, the Sox just have the Angels number the last few years.
Oct 2
White Sox @ Devil Rays
-Yes I'm still calling them the Devil Rays and yes I pick them in game 1. This team is rested and ready to go, especially at home. The Sox don't play well on the road or in domes and this is a double whammy for them. The Rays may win big so the +1.5 looks good to me.
That's how I see things for game 1...
Good Luck...BOOYA!!
