South Carolina sucks. Those Oregon and Auburn games might turn out to be good in the long run though. I'm hoping Auburn will now open as the favorites and all the squares will hop on, since their judgement of a team is usually just based on the last game they saw.
How long are you guys going to wait before putting your wagers in on Oregon? I'm looking at +135 right now and I think I'm gonna have to bite at 150. There's tons of money coming in on Auburn laying three and I expect that once it finally budges off a field goal then it's going to get steamed all the way up to -5 or 6.
This is the easiest pick of the year. Take Oregon on the moneyline big.
I'll be working that game plainclothes. No betting for me. I'm trying to get out of it because i'd rather be home, if i can't, I'll take pics and post 'em. I managed to skip out on the Fiesta Bowl so I'm happy about that. Like I'd be any kind of coherent on New Years Day. Plan ahead kids... plan ahead.
I had to check out Cam Newton's interview with Chris Fowler a few days back.
Here are a few quotes from the interview that solidified my disdain for him:
"Auburn possessed what's best for Cam Newton."
"I was goin' to take my talents to Auburn..."
Referring to yourself in the third person is rather, shall I say, douche-baggish and taking a page from the LeBron James Guide to Media Relations won't help win you many fans. I will admit that he has had one of the most incredible seasons to date in NCAA Football, but something tells me that the NCAA isn't finished with him just yet.
"IT'S A CAT & MOUSE TYPE DEAL" - Duane Hampel's explanation for everything.
I don't believe any of that superstitious stuff for a second. I was on these very same forums saying the same thing about Texas in the BCS Championship game last year. If it really angered the Betting Gods then they would have responded by knocking Colt McCoy out of the game during his first drive or something crazy like that. Oh, wait.
Uh oh, looks like Oregon +3 is about to become Oregon +2.5 before Monday. I'm still holding out for the moneyline to get posted. If the Ducks don't win this game then I don't know anything about football.
All I care about is that my alma mater saved the Big Ten from complete domination by the sec. I can't wait to bid on Pryor's 2011 Sugar Bowl ring on Ebay.
