Mine are just for fun (although my 5-0 week 1 made me wish I had put $300k on each of them). No bets placed for Week 2. Looks like I picked quite a few road favorites this week.

Missouri -5.5
Oregon -23.5
Oklahoma -5.5
Alabama -10.5
Duke +5.5

I'm struggling with BC. Rutgers got beat by UMass yet Vegas started the line at BC -3.5 at home.

I like Georgia and Alabama for a first half cover and Alabama full game spread cover.

BC on red bandana night is an auto bet regardless of number/opponent

These are rookie numbers. Huskergasm threw down nine figures. True story. The Bellagio sent a private plane to pick him up so he could make his bet in person. I heard they even comped his shrimp cocktail.

Good luck on the parlay hope you hit it. Looks like solid picks to me. As for the other games I like:

Penn St -24.5
BYU -7.5
Kentucky + 10.5
Ohio St +1.5
LSU -35.5
Iowa State +14
USC -30.5

I think Ohio State wins straight up. Weird things seem to happen in the Iowa-Iowa State rivalry so hoping ISU keeps it close. And better yet wins lol. USC has looked strong. I don't think Kentucky wins but Alabama isn't as fearsome anymore so we'll see. Penn State looked pretty solid last week and it will probably be a 75-25% pro-PSU crowd "at" Temple. No one here in PA really cares about Temple football. Philly has the Eagles after all lol.

Yeah I'm not putting any money down. Probably for the best I doubt I'd be good at it. Just bored at 4:30 in the morning and this is for my own amusement lol.

I don't sleep. Penn St will roll and I think Alabama blows out Kentucky but I haven't put $$ on it yet. Agree on the Iowa St game.

I have a few more but it's been a beat down. On top of that I'm getting wiped out at Black Jack. Roulette has been my saving grace.
Yeah I’m just a one or two bet guy on Saturdays + Sundays.

Deterministic + Notable Speech exacta box in the Woodbine Mile(horses) today won’t pay much, but I can’t figure out how it goes another way.

Missouri -5.5

Duke +5.5

A 3-2 week puts me at 8-2 for the season. Oregon and OU looked horrible. Sooners still could have covered with just some average play after getting back to10-10 in the second half.
