The “Reverse-Line Movement” as it Relates to the Public
We all know that Vegas doesn’t have fancy hotels and sportsbooks because they lose money. They feast on the urges of degenerate gamblers. Don’t ask me what goes into setting a line for a college football game, because I don’t know. One thing I do know is that as the season progresses, [...]
Week Two Analysis and Plays – Easy Boys
OK, we got off to a great start in week one of college football going 6-2(75%). Remember, the goal is to hit in the 57-59% range. Things begin to change, the lines get tighter, and the public gets crazy. I will address all that in another post, so let’s get on to [...]
Winners and Losers from College Football Week One
After a fantastic and exciting first week of college football, I wanted to give my opinion of the top 5 winners and losers. I know there are three more games, but unless I see something that surprises me, I think I’ve seen enough to post.
WINNERS

To me, [...]
Week One Analysis and Plays
As mentioned in an earlier article, the fact that I went 3-0 last night means that I will tread lightly on Saturday. There is some value out there, and I think there are also some soft lines, so we will see what happens.
Louisiana @ Okie State
Louisiana may be the worst team in the FBS, [...]
OK, Let’s Talk Money Management
Now that we get off to a good start and go 3-0 on opening night, it doesn’t mean that one is “dialed in” on every game. A friend of mine called today after the start and asked, “Who do we have this weekend?” This is the worst question someone who is not touting [...]
“Twas the Night Before College Football…”

For opening night, we have the following match-ups:

Oh, how the powers have shifted from the east to the west. I [...]
Previewing The Mountain West Conference – Welcome Boise?
The MWC said goodbye to two very good football programs last year, in BYU and Utah. What they gained may be better than losing those two. Boise State enters in to what could become one of the new great rivalries in college football, with the Broncos and TCU. Coach Troy Calhoun and [...]
No Boise Means the WAC will be Wac(ky)
The WAC used to be very easy to predict in terms of Boise State winning the conference each year. Well, the “Smurf Turf” takes it’s act to the Mountain West, and the leftovers will make this conference very interesting to watch this season. I think there are four teams that will contend for [...]
Trying to Predict The Wide Wide World of the MAC
The MAC is a half-step above the Sun Belt when it comes to making predictions and capping football games. This year may be a little different though. It seems to me that you have the “haves” and “have nots” in both the East and West Divisions.A couple of things we do know about [...]
