Nevada's coach seems like a goon and his team is a reflection of that

So help me, if Ohio blows this (-9.5), it will be one of my most frustrating yet comical losses this season. Up 30-9 in the second half and driving to make it 37, then turn it over in the red zone. Next series get their QB annihilated by an unblocked blitzer and fumble again, and just like that Nevada is only down 9 with momentum clearly on their side. Come on, Bobcats!

As "mad" as I get when I hit a bad beat, at least it's with small amounts of entertainment money. I can't believe there are people out there who do this with 6 and 7-digit sums of money. I'd have a heart attack before my first game made it to halftime.

Exactly. I do it for fun and hope to maybe make a little money. I get anxiety the few times I make bigger bets (over $100 for me).

But I kind of volume bet too, so even if I bet $30-$50 a game, I'll bet 3-4 games a day so it adds up. I have more fun doing it that way.

Exactly. I like a bunch of little bets on games throughout the weekend to maximize my entertainment.

Speaking of, I'm taking Tulane this morning, sight unseen. Although you better believe I bought them down to -6.5 to avoid another fiasco like yesterday.

Zero points scored in the 4th qtr. neat.


This.

Have I ever been on the under when two teams both run out of the bullets in the 4th quarter? Of course not. That was tough to watch.

I always try to keep this in perspective too. I've had my most successful season ever this year but even then it's just for fun.

I'm heavy on Texans -3 today... that's it.

Not messing with these fourth tier college games... good luck predicting those everyone.

That was terrible. I needed a FG in the last 17 or so minutes of play to just push and nothing.

I'm on the southern miss side, and was feeling pretty good at halftime.

Funny how a 24 point third-quarter can change that feeling.

lot of the models have it around a 3 pt game so 4.5 isn't too bad i guess. i'm leary about which NE team decides to show up though so not touching this game.

I couldn't decide on either line for the NFL games today, so ultimately I just set up a 6-point teaser instead:

Texans +3
Titans +11
Titans/Pats UNDER 51

The DeShaun Watson play in overtime was insane. Two different guys had him dead to rights and he somehow escaped them both.

I gotta say I like the Saints but 7.5 seems high for a playoff game.

I hear ya. I bought it down to 7 just so I won't get burned if they win by a TD. Line has jumped to 8.5 in some places this morning, so at least most of the money is betting the same direction you are.

As for the late game, I got nothin. I thought I'd have a clearer picture once they announce the final injury report, but now I realize even that isn't gonna matter. The spectrum of possible outcomes is way too broad for me to want to get involved at this point.

No kidding. As a Texans fan it fires me up. I saw the line drop to -2.5, didn't take it, then reconsidered prior to kickoff and ended up with -3 and the push. It be like that sometimes.

I had the over in the Saints game, missed it by 4.

Have Seattle ML.

4 way teased Vikings, Over, Seahawks, Over.

OT had to be a td (or 2 fg's another score) for the teased over to hit and it did.

Let's go Seattle +6 and 39+ points
Bunk Moreland

Don't see 39 points tonight.
