Bet on Gold

Florida State disappointed me, failing to get the garbage time score that would have covered the spread. Florida wins, 37-10. I may get it back, less the vig, if
notre dame(+10)over STANFORD holds up. Right now ND leads 14-10 at the start of the 2nd quarter. The Florida State result almost scared me off any more college bets, but the underdog has covered in something like ten out of eleven Notre Dame games, so what the heck. Since I touted this game along with Fla-Fla St on the radio this morning I figure the least I can do is bet it.

My general advise was to take underdogs in these rivalry games, since they tend to be up for them. I considered taking georgia(+9)over GEORGIA TECH. Then I considered
GEORGIA TECH(-9)over georgia. Ultimately I did nothing. Right now Georgia is up, 10-3.

I'm considering following my own advise and taking ucla(+13.5)over USC. 40 minutes to kickoff. Notre Dame is now up 17-14. Georgia just scored to go up 17-3.

Jimmy Clausen just completed about an 80 yard bomb for another score, and Notre Dame is up 24-13. It's enough to make me want to take the Bruins. Incidentally, I would be betting 3 teams with gold helmets. On the other hand, I stayed away from Georgia Tech, who are getting taken apart right now, gold helmets and all. Boston College and their gold helmets beat Maryland, but failed to cover, 19-17.

What the hell. I'll take ucla(+14)over USC. I'm paying extra vig for another half point.
