Week 8 Recap


Another 1-5 week and more evidence that this season has been impossible to bet.

Starting with the top play on the Stream, things looked promising for Tulsa +2 when they were leading 30-14 in the third quarter.  Then came the epic collapse and the Golden Hurricane lost by 8.

I also felt confident about Texas A&M when late money arrived on the Aggies.  After all, Alabama was 1-8-1 against the spread in their last ten games.  They won 59-0.

Finally, how about this stat … When Missouri was up 42-0 against the Gators in the third quarter, they had 97 yards of offense.  How is that possible?

+ Week 8 Winners -- 
Appalachian St (+7) - Troy

+ Week 8 Losers -- 
Tulsa (+2) - South Florida
UCLA (-7) - California
Texas A&M (+12) - Alabama
Washington (+21) - Oregon
Bowling Green (-3) - Western Michigan

Why do you guys think you understand football? Been following you all year, about about this for week 10 put down what you feel and then bet on the opposite!

Yeah you'd be some type of genius if you faded my picks this year. Swimming in cash. Bottomline is that the Stream has finished 63%/62%/53% the last three years. Better than pros in Vegas who make a living off this.
PS - I've legitimately never seen anyone beat 55% for an entire season in college football or NFL, besides the Stream of course.

shorting the LOW is and will always be the most profitable bet online

Would have been a massive mistake last week. Nice play on Cinci.

Keep them coming Hugh. This initial poster is a stain to all the greats that have posted comments on this blog under the username "anonymous."

When you are continuously trying to pepper an edge that may be as small as a couple of percentage points, the rollercoaster of variance can be quite turbulent. I will continue to ride it with a smile.

I'll continue to live and die with the Lasko pics. As stated by the man himself, his track record over the past 3 years shuts down any short-sighted anonymous critic. Merely a bump in the road to riches. And what's more -- even the K-man knocked his LOW out onto Waveland with the Bearcats' smackdown of SMOOOOOO!
