Back in the Saddle
I called bodog this morning to see what I had to do to deposit $$ into my account, and discovered that I could do it over the phone. So I did. Just in time for college football. Week 2 anyway. At least I'm in time for the NFL season. Except for the opener, where the Giants beat the Redskins, 16-7, covering the 4 point spread. I wasn't going to bet that game, since I considered 4 a reasonable spread between divisional rivals, but my pick was the Giants. Yay.
I like how ESPN's power ratings have the Giants 8th in the NFL, while they vehemently argued that the Giants should be considered the best NFL team after their upset victory over the Patriots. Are ESPN flip-floppers? Have they compromised their credibility by generating fake news with phony debates? I don't mind listening to Joe Theisman's goofy opinions, as long as they're actually HIS opinions.....I don't mind Mark Schlereth(sp?) picking the Chargers over and over, as long as he means it....I wish I could remember who was hyping the Giants, but the way I remember it, everybody was sort of agreeing that they deserved to be considered the best team. How do these same people vote the Giants 8th? Would we accept this from Obama or McCain? Okay, bad example.
Ohio State v Ohio just started....I almost took OSU and gave 34, just because I'm appalled that this game is televised, and I figure I shouldn't be subjected to it without $$ riding on the outcome. More like Tylenol than a bet....
Ohio State is up 3-0 a little into the 2nd quarter, but Ohio is driving, led by quaterback Boo Jackson (seriously). Boo knows football. This is turning out to be a disturbingly good game...disturbing if you like the Bucks, or have money riding on them, which I, thankfully, do not. The Ohio Bobcats uniforms look like a cross between the road kits for the New York Jets and the Baltimore Colts....I mean, Indianapolis Colts. Reminds me of Super Bowl III, as did the Giants score above--too bad I didn't mention this before.
Ohio scored! They lead 7-3, and they've eaten about half of the 2nd quarter. I'm sure they will lose in the end, but whoever had the foresight to take the Bobcats has to feel pretty comfortable about now.
I have taken northwestern(-6)overDUKE. I have a long history of betting against Duke. They suck, last I checked. Northwestern has a recent history of winning high scoring shootouts, most memorably (for me) over Michigan State. Good enough for me.
I've also taken texas(-27)over UTEP. 27 is alot to give on the road, but this mismatch seems big enough to justify it. UTEP got blown out 42-17 against Buffalo last week. Who?
Ohio State has rallied to win, 26-14, after trailing 14-6. I'm not saying Boo Jackson costing Ohio State a national championship would have cost Barak Obama the state of Ohio, but it's a good thing this game wasn't November 1st. Of course Ohio State never plays MAC teams that late in the year, and this game will be forgotten after Ohio State loses to Southern Cal next week.
I didn't like the BC-Ga Tech line (BC by 6.5), and BC proved me right by losing, 19-16.
I'm tempted to take GEORGIA(-24.5)over central michigan, but apparently CMU's quarterback is the poor man's Tim Tebow. I also need to stay objective, since I've lost every time I've gone to Soaring Eagle Casino in Mount Pleasant, and I may be hoding that against the Chippewas. On the other hand, Oklahoma could become my favorite Big 12 school now that I won $600 at one of the Cherokee casinos there on the way through. I think Oklahoma has about 20 different Indian Casinos that have poker rooms. Tasty!
I'm tempted to go against Notre Dame as they renew their rivalry against San Diego State. They're not vulnerable to the voodoo doll hidden in a vault under the Golden Dome, since they are the Bulldogs....What? They're the Aztecs? Dress that doll up like one of those half-animal pagan gods with the names nobody can pronounce, and hook some electrodes to his balls. Mumble some Latin, beat some drums, and give him 500 volts. That oughta do it.
San Diego State lost to Cal Poly last week. Who? Since the Fighting Irish haven't ummmm... fought anybody yet, its hard to justify favoring them by 22.5 against anybody, but this San Diego State team is pretty bad. Notre Dame has no business busting out the voodoo against these guys. If they can't beat these guys Chaz Weiss will be out on his fat ass--except for that fat contract of his, that is. Forgive me father, for I am not worthy of my exhorbitant salary....
Not that it's his fault. The brain trust that offered it to him should be begging somebody for forgiveness....
