Lines being used are current to 2pm on Thursday.
NCAA: I'll take Alabama -7 at Arkansas and hope that the all powerful Nick Saban can beat the Hogs. I can't believe I am taking Stanford -4.5 at Notre Dame, I'll probably get my Domer Fan Card revoked but I haven't seen anything that would suggest the Irish can stop Stanford. [I also believe that the name Notre Dame still carries weight in Vegas and this line should really be closer to Stanford -7. Its that old catholic money that keeps the ND underdog lines closer than they should be and pushes the ND favorite lines higher than they should. Similar to why Cubs to win WS props are always at a lesser price than they should be, the blind faith following.] Final NCAA selection Oregon -11 at Arizona State. The "Quack Attack" has beat up on some cupcakes but are avg. better than 1 point per minute and that kind of confidence can carry a team against an inferior opponent. So I picked 3 road favorites, 2 of them playing against conference opponents and 1 playing an intellectual rival. No on can accuse me of cherry picking my selections.
NFL: Pittsburgh -3 at Tampa Bay, Cleveland/Baltimore Total Under 37, Detroit +11 at Minnesota, Cincinnati - 3 at Carolina, San Francisco -2.5 at Kansas City, and New Orleans -4 vs Atlanta. Keeping with the road favorite theme, I have 3 more here.Wrapped it up with a road dog, a home favorite and one under.
Pools: Survivor pool, I'll take New England and Baltimore to win. In the losers pool I am sticking with the Bills x2 and the Browns once. I'll keep riding the Bills as long as the match-ups allow. In the Pick 6 I am using Bama and the Ducks along with Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cincinnati, and the Cle/Bal under. For my NFL 5 team parlay I'll use Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cincinnati, New Orleans, and San Francisco.
Record: 21-12-3
