Very Special "Ted 'Cherry' Bundy" Edition 2018 3E Bowl Pick Them Score Board
I'm going to tweet "Ted 'Frisco' Bundy" during tonight's game.
Ok, so I'm not going to make a 'board every day and I'm probably going to change the picture eventually (maybe). But excellence deserves recognition! As far as I can tell through a minimally rigorous investigation, 6-0 is the best ever start to a Pick Them. We are all witnesses.
Hoo baby, that's a hot tamale.
And I think if there's one thing that sports and perhaps life in general teaches us is that it is always good to get way, way ahead of yourself. As the old saying goes, "You'll have exactly as many chickens as you have un-hatched eggs."
So in that spirit, let's recall all the records (previously labeled "unbreakable" by the liberal, Soros-backed media) that are 100% sure to be absolutely demolished this year:

Very Special "The First One's Free" Edition 3E Bowl Pick Them 2018 Score Board
This could get ugly!
At no point last year did you win 5 games in a row and you only did it once the year before that. Congratulations to "Chalk" Roberts!
LPM is "Largest Possible Margin," i.e. the largest confidence margin by which you can win. When it gets to zero... well, just trust me you don't want that to happen!!
You will notice that the POWER FACTOR no longer has a presenting sponsor. Thanks Obama.
For reffy ref (reference), the POWER FACTOR after Day 1 last year was C+.004. So this is significantly larger than that.

The CRISIS Right
Not the most CRISES ever but a good effort nonetheless (it's the 3rd most, bronze medal baby).
Charles's pick is first because it's the one that is going to win (except Auburn).
The numbo in parentheses is the combined points up for grabs. These are known as POWER POINTS.
12/15

Tha Captain's Pix 2018: Daddyblogging, baby!!
This summary is not available. Please
click here to view the post.
powl bicks
New Mexico Bowl:
North Texas vs. Utah State
My pick: UTAH STATE 9
This game has some weird coach stuff around it, with guys not leaving or Utah State hiring their old coach again. Remember Graham Harrell? He is apparently the North Texas offensive coordinator.
Cure Bowl:
Tulane vs. Louisiana-Lafayette
My pick: TULANE 1
sure!
Las Vegas Bowl:
Fresno State vs. Arizona State
My pick: FRESYES STATE 32
For some reason I feel like Fresno State is good this year, and we all know my feelings about Herm Edwards.
Camellia Bowl:
Eastern Michigan vs. Georgia Southern
My pick: GA SOUTHERN 5
I like Georgia Southern.
New Orleans Bowl:
Middle Tennessee State vs. Appalachian State
My pick: APP STATE 33
Same as LVB above, for some reason I feel like Appy is good this year.
Boca Raton Bowl:
Northern Illinois vs. UAB
My pick: UAB 23
GO BLAZAHS
Frisco Bowl:
Ohio vs. San Diego State
My pick: SAN DIEGO STATE 2
Don't like Ohio, never have. San Diego State featured Gorgeous Al Borges at one point.
Gasparilla Bowl:
South Florida vs. Marshall
My pick: WE ARE MARSHALL 4
It's a home game for USF, so Marshall is more hopped up. Not sure about this one. But:
Gaaaaaasparilla is the place to bowl
It's a fun place to escape the cold
South Florida is the bulls, no bird,
But as for me my pick will be the Herd
dun dun dun dun dun dun
Bahamas Bowl:
FIU vs. Toledo
My pick: TOLEDO 19
Rockets!
Potato Bowl:
Western Michigan vs. BYU
My pick: BYU 30
POE TAY TOE
Birmingham Bowl:
Memphis vs. Wake Forest
My pick: MEMPHIS 38
dilly dilly
Armed Forces Bowl:
Houston vs. Army
My pick: ARMY 26
Incredibly unfair for this contest to happen in Texas, but also incredibly unfair for it to be named after one of the participants, so it is probably even.
Dollar General Bowl:
Buffalo vs. Troy
My pick: TROY 14
Dollar General Bowl
Hawaii Bowl:
Louisiana Tech vs. Hawaii
My pick: LA TECH 6
It's the more exciting trip for the Men of Ruston.
First Responder Bowl:
Boston College vs. Boise State
My pick: BOISE 31
What an idiotic name. Boise! Also, never liked BC.
Quick Lane Bowl:
Minnesota vs. Georgia Tech
My pick: TECH 8
Winning one for the gipper or whatever. I liked Paul Johnson even though, generally speaking, I dislike Georgia Tech in most regards save comparison to their neighbors, who are even more loathsome.
Cheez-It Bowl:
TCU vs. Cal
My pick: TCU 3
Horned frogs is a really cool mascot. I don't like the outfit, the design of the head I guess in particular, but I like the logo and I like the connection.
Independence Bowl:
Duke vs. Temple
My pick: TEMPLE 20
of doom! I have no idea how this ended up at this confidence ranking. I did the "big list of all the games and move them around until you're tired of it" thing, and this resulted in a middling spot.
Pinstripe Bowl:
Miami vs. Wisconsin
My pick: MIAMI 15
A pick that goes against what I actually think, I think, but I don't care for Wisconsin.
Texas Bowl:
Vanderbilt vs. Baylor
My pick: VANDY 10
This seems like it will be a lower-tier conference match up in a few years.
Music City Bowl:
Purdue vs. Auburn
My pick: AWBURN 24
More like Purdon't, am I right? Guys? Hello? Is anyone out there? Why is getting so cold?
Camping World Bowl:
Syracuse vs. West Virginia
My pick: WEST VIRGINNY 21
So, WVU's starting quarterback isn't going to play, so this line is way different from when I first posted. But my boy Holgo is going to pull this out anyway.
Alamo Bowl:
Washington State vs. Iowa State
My pick: WAZZU 22
This is another game in which I'm just picking the coach I like better.
Belk Bowl:
Virginia vs. South Carolina
My pick: USC 11
This is a neat little match-up of teams who used to be in the same conference (and still should be).
Peach Bowl:
Florida vs. Michigan
My pick: MINCHINGAN 25
Absolutely awful.
Arizona Bowl:
Nevada vs. Arkansas State
My pick: ARKANSAS STATE 17
I wish the SEC would kick out Arkansas and invite Arkansas State instead. All of the games on December 29 start within an hour and fifteen minutes of each other, which is cool.
Cotton Bowl:
Clemson vs. Notre Dame
My pick: CLEMSON 37
Hard to believe this isn't the worst playoff ever, but it's not.
Orange Bowl:
Alabama vs. Oklahoma
My pick: alabama 36
I mean, come on. The shootout element makes it less certain, but it's still a certain thing in this hateful world.
Military Bowl:
Cincinnati vs. Virginia Tech
My pick: CINCINNATI 28
Even more so than the Armed Forces Bowl, it's an outrage that Cincinnati, named after the famous Roman general Cincinnatus, should be in the Military Bowl. It's practically home field advantage! If I were just guessing I would have assumed VT was a favorite, but it turns out Cincinnati has been pretty good this year. Virginia Tech has been, uh, less so.
Sun Bowl:
Pitt vs. Stanford
My pick: SAMFORD 35
This game is the pits. I said it! The pits!
Redbox Bowl:
Oregon vs. Michigan State
My pick: OREGONE 7
This makes me nostalgic for the Blockbuster Bowl, which is apparently now the Camping World Bowl and which I thought started longer ago than it did. Anyway, this is a football game. These teams seem to meet a lot, right?
Liberty Bowl:
Missouri vs. Oklahoma State
My pick: MISSOURI 16
I think Missouri is the better team and will win, but it's weird that the line is this big.
Holiday Bowl:
Utah vs. Northwestern
My pick: UTAH 27
I don't think Northwestern is very good.
Gator Bowl:
N.C. State vs. Texas A&M
My pick: TAMU 12
Jimbo is a dumb name for an adult human being. The best animal to be named Jimbo is of course the humble chimpanzee, followed closely by the hippopotamus and then, a more distant third, the skunk.
Outback Bowl:
Mississippi State vs. Iowa
My pick: MISSISSISSIPPI STATE 18
Two months from now, I will have no memory that this game, which I will probably watch, ever happened.
Citrus Bowl:
Penn State vs. Kentucky
My pick: PENN STATE 34
This has got "final score of 17-9" written all over it.
Fiesta Bowl:
LSU vs. UCF
My pick: LSU 29
I feel like an idiot for picking this, but after last year, it's impossible that UCF sneaks up on somebody again. Plus, this is kind of a different season end for LSU than it was for Auburn last year.
Rose Bowl:
Ohio State vs. Washington
My pick: WASHINGTON 13
Pretend I am barking like a husky dog.
Sugar Bowl:
Georgia vs. Texas
My pick: uga 39
Nope.
North Texas vs. Utah State
My pick: UTAH STATE 9

congrats to the captain
Congratulations to the double victory, much deserved for Our Noble Capn. Here's how the whole world feels about that victory and especially about the outcomes of this SEC season:
Tuesday, November 27, 2018
I did it, I won
It's too terrible to even consider picking the one remaining SEC Game. Yes, just the thought of Akron playing South Carolina fills me with dread and disgust.
The Lovable Loser: 5-4 (48-48)
The Loathsome Winner: 6-3 (52-44)
The Humble Pauper: $299.70
The Haughty Prince: $1,326.95
See you in the funny papers!

out, out brief pick them!
I feel like I've certainly strutted and fretted my hour upon the stage.
Old Mist +10 I didn't watch or see the score of the Mississippi State game last week (not even sure who they played). How did it go?
Well I suppose I should give you a shot. Obviously, I hope my continued idiotic wagering behavior is finally punished.
1) Every last cent on the inevitable at -2750. I stand to win $46.56.

Arkansas +22.5 I didn't watch or see the score of the Arkansas game last week (not even sure who they played). How did it go?
Florida -5 Seems low to my galaxy brain.
Georgia -17 Charles, you KNOW I am sensitive to triple option teams doing well as big underdogs... BUT!
Alabama -24.5 barf barf barf I'm barfin man
Tennessee +3.5 Here I go again with my Tennessee bullshit.
South Carolina +26 A comfortable but not overwhelming win for DadBod.
Kentucky -17 Whether you think you can-tucky or you cant-tucky, you're right-tucky.
LSU +2.5 This line is... weird?
Well I suppose I should give you a shot. Obviously, I hope my continued idiotic wagering behavior is finally punished.
1) Every last cent on the inevitable at -2750. I stand to win $46.56.
Fantastic Picks and Where to Find Them: The Tris of Epsilon
Old Mist (+10) I'd have put the line at 8.
Arkansas (+22.5) Seems like a big line
Florida (-5) It's hard to get a handle on Florida this season.
Georgia (-17) Georgia Tech's defense isn't good
Auburn (+24.5) Seems like a 35-17 kind of game.
Vanderbilt (-3.5) ????
Clemson (-26) Clemson seems very good.
Kentucky (-17) Louisville seems very bad, and this might be a give up game.
LSU (+2.5) This is a dumb end of the year game, a forced rivalry that replaces much better ones. Missouri-TAMU and Arkansas-LSU make a better set of season finale games. Anyway, I don't even know if I think LSU will win, but it seems like they should.
$$$$$$$$
So, with my $649.70, there are two different approaches I could take. Is this a real betting situation, in which I'm trying to protect my actual money? In that case, I don't want to take giant risks. But, if this is a game, and I just want to get back over my initial starting funds, I need to bet something crazy so that I have a chance to get back at least over $1000, and ideally find a wacky bet to win this thing.
$350 on Auburn to cover +24.5 against Alabama.

Pick Em the Thirteenth
The reason for our thanksgivings 5-3 (46-41)
The reason for our misgivings 5-3 ( 43-44)
So close, coming into the final lap here. A tie is my only real hope or desire.
Arkansas at Missouri (-22.5)
Florida (-5) at Florida State
Georgia Tech at Georgia (-17)
Auburn at Alabama (-24.5)
Tennessee at Vanderbilt (-3.5)
South Carolina at Clemson (-26)
Kentucky (-17) at Louisville

less close!

bad week--I know what I'm picking, so please stop explaining
This is a bad week of picks, very bad. Only one game looks decent. Humphrey Bogart voice: "We'll always have Nashville." Going with an underdog-heavy strategy; everybody is looking ahead.
Middle Tennessee (+16) Is this a big line?
Arkansas (+20) This seems like a big line to me.
Missouri (-6) I guess? Tennessee surprised many last week, but not me, because I wasn't paying attention. I tried to find some logic in the SEC East results so far, and now I've been committed to a facility for further psychological evaluation.
UMass (+43.5) Whoa boy, this line is big.
Auburn (-28.5) lmao losing this one with gusto
UAB (+16) I BUHLEEV that if UAB's quarterback isn't healthy, I will lose this pick
Rice (+43.5) Good heavens what a line.
Old Mist (+2.5) man, this is a tough pick. I guess I like the Rebs in a shoot out?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
This is the toughest Nice Bookie pick of the year, I think, which means playing a little of the Old Captain.
Cash on hand: $646.37.
I will bet $233.10 on Auburn to win straight up, to win $3.33.

*to the tune of don't speak* dont speak buh doo buh doo buh dooo dooooooo
This has real potential for some football results.
Kentucky -16 I heard they're going to use an oblate spheroid for this one.
Mississippi St. -20 None of the players will be allowed to carry swords.
Tennessee +6 The majority of the players will be hydrating in between plays.
UMass +43.5 Watch out for grass stains, boys.
Liberty +28.5 As a special treat, the jumbotron will be powered by electricity.
TAMU -16 Normal gravity conditions.
Rice +43.5 At the Chancellor's behest, the bands will wait until halftime to march around the playing field.
Vanderbilt -2.5 If you see players spitting on the field, that's ok. They're allowed to do that.
MMMMMM.. Money.
1) $318.08 on UGA straight up at -3928. I stand to win $8.10 but I'd trade that $8.10 away in a heartbeat to stop antifa from lighting any more forest fires!!

composing a rap about pick thems and caves in which "week twelve" will be rhymed with "deep delve"
Charles aka the good Darren from Bewitched: 2-5 (38-41)
Tha Cap aka the bad one: 3-4 (41-38)
Ack. Only two weeks left for me to bungle this.
This slate has a very "week two" personality.
Middle Tennessee @ Kentucky (-16)
Arkansas @ Mississippi State (-20)
Missouri (-6) @ Tennessee
UMass @ Georgia (-43.5)
Liberty @ Auburn (-28.5)
UAB @ Texas A+M (-16)
Rice @ LSU (-43.5)
Old Mist @ Vanderbilt (-2.5)
Alabama, Florida, and South Carolina are dippin into the 1AA pudding. I had forgotten Idaho had "taken the plunge." Fun Fact: Liberty and New Mexico State are playing twice this season which is everything you need to know about college football or sports in general, really.
The Very Famous Bookie: "Nice"
Charles: $646.37
Tha Cap: $1,272.29
I am giving you the business here.

Auburn +14.5 Wrong.
LSU -13 100% wrong.

Auburn (-4.5) I BELIEVE that i will have the chance to attend this game
Old Mist (Pick Em!) I guess? I don't think South Carolina is as good as they were.
Georgia (-9.5) This is a real close one. I think Georgia will win something like 20-10.
Florida (-6) I don't know
UNC-Charlotte (+21) This line is hilarious, that I think UNCC will cover is hilarious, and that Tennessee beat Auburn is hilarious
La Tech (+23) Seems like a big line.
ALABAMA (-14.5) Seems like a big line, but fortunately we live in a hellscape which will mercifully be denuded of life by global warming in the next century or so.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$"the slice bookie"$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Cash on hand: $711.61. Spending at least $177.90. No games really jump out at me. Gonna borrow "tha captain's special" for part of this one.
$36 on Georgia straight up, to win $10.
$62.50 on Alabama straight up, to win $10.
$80 UNCC-Tennessee will go over 46 points.

*to the tune of don't speak* tenth week... i know just what i'm pickin
ho ho ho, welcome to the Christmas season
Texas A&M +4.5 Blech.
South Carolina Picking this game is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. In the end I literally flipped a coin. It dropped on the floor the first try and I thought I lost it. It was heads (South Carolina). I flipped again and caught it... heads again. That's fate telling me something, baby.
Georgia -9.5 No, this isn't right. Georgia will win but not cover. Whatever. Not changing it!!
Florida -6 This also isn't right.
Tennessee -21 Seems like the sort of thing Tennessee would do.
La Tech +23 Seems like the sort of thing Mississippi St. would do.
LSU +14.5 Alabanana wins a one score game. That one score will be 14-0.
Well yeehaw pardners i'm right back where i started. yeehaw
This is what is known as "being stupid:"
1) $999.31 on tua and the boys straight up at -580. I stand to win $172.29.

captain, who lost it in the first place: 2-3 (35-30)
by royal decree, this week's games shall all be played upon fields of football in the length of 100 yards (as the jackdaw flies).
Texas A&M @ Auburn (-4.5)
South Carolina @ Old Mist (Pick Em!) I think the line opened with Old Mist as a slight favorite, but it swung to SC -1. Now I'm seeing some as even, so I'm going with that since I don't think we've ever done it before.
Georgia (-9.5) @ Kentucky
Missouri @ Florida (-6)
UNC-Charlotte @ Tennessee (-21)
La Tech @ Mississippi State (-23)
ALABAMA (-14.5) @ LSU

whoa nelly, these are some TIGHT ones
Arkansas +1 Arkansas is really good. Only I know this.
Georgia -7 remember when we saw two squirrels doing it outside our window before graduation
Missouri -7 Where do Missouri football players get their water? From the Faurot faucet. Thank you.
TAMU +2.5 TAMU can do, but Sartre is smarter.
Tennessee +7.5 The only ten I see? Red Dead Redemption 2's score in the new IGN review.
Tha Captain gets confused when his horses aren't in the running.
1) $74.30 on TAMU straight up at +140 to win $104.02
2) $74.31 on Tennessee straight up at +260 to win $193.21
3) $126.39 on Georgia straight up at -260 to win $48.61

Arkansas (+1) I got burned by the Commodores last week, but sticking with it.
Georgia (-7) Georgia is mad about losing and covers pretty easy, or Florida will win, are my predictions.
Kentucky (+7) free money
TAMU (+2.5) naturally, needs no explanation
Tennessee (+7.5) guh
$$$$$$$$
I got $675.25 and am looking at a rough week. I have to spend $168.81 Is it time to go big? Do something bold, something flashy? Sort of!
$100 on TAMU-Mississississippi State to go over 43.5 points
$150 on Kentucky to cover (-7)

would you say eight is ........ enough
Tulsa (+7) If Auburn played Arkansas right now, Auburn would lose, but that doesn't mean Arkansas can cover against Tulsa.
Old Mist (+4) I liked -3 a lot better than -4, which is a weird thing to say.
Tennessee (+28.5) Seems like a big line? Who the heck knows. I'm expecting a nutty 56-35 kind of game.
Memphis (+9.5) nah
Mississiisssipppsiispiss State (+6.5). thanks fella. I'm officially predicting a two-point LSU victory.
Kentucky (-11.5) Finally picking a favorite! I'm less pro-Kentucky than I am anti-Vandy.
$$$$$$$$$$$$
"the lice bookie"
Playin' with $769.80, bettin' at least $192.45, lookin' for a good week to get out of the red.
$150 on Kentucky to cover -11.5 against Vanderbilt
$50 on Alabama-Tennessee to go over 56.5
$10 on Tennessee to win, to win $200

WoodChuck: 3-3 (30-24)

To my smooth brain, these all look like great games.
Tulsa @ Arkansas (-7)
Auburn (-4) @ Old Mist
Alabama (-28.5) @ Tennessee
Memphis @ Missouri (-9.5)
Mississiisssipppsiispiss State {writing it like that because you do} @ LSU (-6.5)

lucky number Stefan, that would be a good nickname for someone named Stefan or maybe a Steven but not quite as good
Florida (-7) I feel like Vanderbilt underplays against equal or superior opponents
Tennessee (+15.5) gettin' verrrrrrrrry nervous about this one. If Auburn is going to be remotely good this year, they smash the 45.5 o/u, but they aren't so they won't.
Georgia (-7.5) n- n- n- n- n- nightmare
Texas A&M (-2) sure
Missouri (+28) that's a big ole line!
Old Mist (-6.5) This is a tough pick, I went for the one that's worse for Auburn in terms of the Rebs getting better
$$$$$$$$$$$$
For "the nice bookie" I have only $627.08, so betting at least $156.77. I'm excited to be betting $12 on the SEC title game.
$100 on Florida to cover against Vanderbilt
$50 on Georgia-LSU to go over 50.5 points
$7 on Auburn-Tennessee to go over 45.5 points

Give a Hoot; Make Some Picks
Please do no stare directly at my picks.
Going to put use some images that have, apparently, been on this blog before. It should be pretty clear how each is tied to the respective game. I'm just kidding, they're random.
Florida -7
Tennessee +15.5
LSU +7.5
Texas A&M -2
Alabama -28
Arkansas +6.5
I love to "splash the cash."
1) $1,182.42 on the Alabama Crimson Football Tide to "win straight up" at -7000. I stand to win $16.89.
2) $88.36 on my "Upset Special" of the week: Arkansas to win straight up at +220. I "stand" to win $194.39.
Eventually this has to come back and "bite me in the ass."

(angrily jumping out of my chair) What is this crap?
Them games is some nonsense.
UL-Lafayette (+49) who bets this line
Arkansas (+21) TAMU is a lot better than Arkansas, but this seems like a big line
Tennessee (+32) Georgia is a lot better than Tennessee, but this seems like a big line
Southern Miss (+27) Auburn is a lot better than Southern Miss, but this seems like a big line
Florida (+7.5) RIP Jefferson Pilot Sports
Kentucky (-2) It's pretty cool that this is the best game of the week
Old Mist (+12) picking a whole buncha dogs tonight
____
I got $836.44 for the nice bookie.

Five for betting (like five for fighting?) sure. but wrong.
Siri show me a bunch of garbage
Alabama -49 This will probably be wrong, but then again maybe it won't. But it will.
Texas A&M -21 Man I don't know. This is also probably wrong. Whatever.
Tennessee +32 I keep doing this for some reason. Wrong.
Southern Miss +27 I also keep doing this (doubting Gus and the boys). Wrong.
Florida +7.5 This is the only one of which I'm confident. Which means it will be way wrong.
South Carolina +2 Gotta dance with the lady what WRONG
LSU -12 so wrong
I am going to spice things up:
1) $991.96 on... GEORGIA (straight up)!!! At -13500, I stand to win $7.35.
2) $55.58 on Florida (the Gators) straight up at +270. I stand to win $150.07.
Please note that if chalk holds and I win bet 1) but lose bet 2), my bankroll will be exactly $1000.00. Calculating the bets necessary to do that is the most rewarding thing I will do all year.
I elected not to stick with the Tide at -216000 which would have netted me 49 cents.

five for betting (like five for fighting)
Georgia (-14.5) So far, picking a bad outcome would be a good betting strategy for me.
Kent State (+29) Kent State's pretty bad but this is a real big line. As we've discussed, who knows what to do with a line like this?
TAMU (+26) idiot
South Carolina (-2) sure
Mississississippi State (-9.5) This line seems a little bit low to me, but what do I know. nothing.
Tennessee (+4.5) I am officially predicting Florida to win but not cover.
La Tech (+21) Hangover, also LSU plays that grind it out grind it out offense
Auburn (-30) idiot
________
"the nice bookie"
$740.94 means I am betting at least $185.24. The bets have not been kind to me. I still like my strategy, except it's just wrong and dumb.
$11 on TAMU to win straight up, to win $300
$22 on Georgia-Missouri to go over 64.5
$33 on Louisiana Tech to cover (+21) against LSU
$44 on Florida-Tennessee to go over 46.5
$97.50 on Georgia to win straight up, to win $16.50.

Old Mist -29 Kent read, Kent write, Kent get enough of your love baby.
Alabama -26 Oh no.
South Carolina -2 This will be wrong but South Carolina is my lucky totem.
Kentucky +9.5 Welcome to Kroger Field: Home of the Kentucky Wildcats.
Tennessee +4.5 Really think Tennessee is about to turn the corner.
La Tech +21 This seems like the kind of game in which LSU screws around, especially in a season they beat Auburn. Also LSU will lose to Alabama by 5 touchdowns.
Arkansas +30 guh
moneymoney moooney... mooooooonneey:
The real bookies are on to me. The best I can get is -4000 on THE TIDE. So, $1021.99 of my $1022.68 on THE TIDE at -4000 it is. I stand to win a cool $25.55.
Georgia -14.5 Georgia won at South Carolina by more than this and Missouri almost lost to Purdue.
Old Mist -29 Kent read, Kent write, Kent get enough of your love baby.
Alabama -26 Oh no.
South Carolina -2 This will be wrong but South Carolina is my lucky totem.

week three's the story of the hurricane
Which made them cancel the SC game
It was a game that's kind of dumb
but least Marshall didn't get on
an aeroooooplaaaane
Lots of picks!
Tennessee (-30) sure
Vanderbilt (+14.5) This is a big line that's solely so big because of the names of the teams, right?
LSU (+9.5) Auburn winning but not covering seems most likely here. The over-under on this game is so low, and that throws off my strategy for the bets below.
Florida (-20.5) lmao
Arkansas (-7) like Florida, lmao. Also, I think (without evidence) good teams who get upset are more likely to get mad at the next home game.
Alabama (-21) sick
Georgia (-32.5) now here's a game I hate
UL-Lafayette (-33.5) seems like a big line
UL-Monroe (+26.5) hangover effect
Missouri (-7) I feel like in 1999 I would have had very strong feelings about this game
_______
Cash money homies. Betting from $883.42, so betting at least $220.86.
$11 on Old Mist straight up, to win $120
$51.25 on Auburn straight up, to win $13.75
$55 on Purdue straight up, to win $102.50
$22.50 on Vanderbilt straight up, to win $175
$30 on Vanderbilt to cover +14.5
$30 UTEP-Tennessee to go over 47.5 points

Third Week from the Sun
Looking forward to going 0-11.
Tennessee -30 Seem like UTEP is really bad? A lot of points there, but Tennessee will want to put on a good show for their fans.
Notre Dame -14.5 I think Brian is a funny name for a man who wishes to be taken seriously. But I think Brian's boys will get it done.
LSU +9.5 Puhhh-leeeease.
Florida -20.5 Bounceback. Gators got a little something for 'em.
Arkansas -7 Bounceback. Hogs got a little something for 'em.
Alabama -21 All I got to say is I got nothing to say.
MTSU +32.5 I have no idea what to do with the four 26-plus point games (Tenn, MissSt, UGA, and TAMU). Pretty much just decided I needed two dogs and two faves and then just went wild.
UL-Lafayette +33.5 Yeah.
Texas A&M -26.5 Sure.
Missouri -7 Hardest game to pick because it seems like the line should be higher? Like someone is trying to trick me. I'm to smart for that.
Marshall +13.5 If this wasn't such a fiercely contested and eagerly anticipated rivalry game, I might almost expect them to just cancel the damn thing. If they do play, there might not be 14 total points scored. UPDATE: OK. They canceled it.
Time to toss some paper:
I am, of course, betting $936.82 (squirreling away 69 cents to have next time just in case) on the very famous football team the Tide to beat Old Mist at -1100. I stand to win $85.17.

FUN FACT: This is the most valid games we've had in any weekend that wasn't the first weekend of a season.

werk twerk
Mississippi State (-9.5) not confident about that
Vanderbilt (-9) also not confident
Arkansas State (+36.5) idiot
Georgia (-10) going with what would be worse
Wyoming (+17) another tight one
Clemson (-12.5) statement game
Arkansas (-13) book it
Florida (-14) several favorites this week, seems like that's a mistake
MONEY THING
I have $940.91 and so have to bet at least $235.23. These odds come from Bovada as of 3:00pmish. Going to try to climb back up gradually in a week I don't see a lot of sure bets.
I'll bet $110 on Florida to beat Kentucky, to win $21
I'll bet $90 on Clemson to beat TAMU to win $22
I'll bet $40 on Georgia beating South Carolina, to win $11.50
I'll bet $10 on Mississippi State vs. Kansas to go under 54 points
I'll bet $10.91 on Missouri-Wyoming to go over 52 points

WEEK TWO: In honor of space mountain, i'm going to call this "space weekend"
space mountain is crazy I bet. roller coaster in the dark. wouldn't do that, myself. but, man. sounds crazy! that's kind of what picking all these great matchups is like for me!
Kansas State +9.5 Space Mountain Fact: space mountain was built in 1943.
Vanderbilt -9 Space Mountain Fact: space mountain is property of the Disney corp.
Alabama -36.5 Space Mountain Fact: space mountain is the darkest roller coaster in the world.
South Carolina +10 Space Mountain Fact: the first president to ride space mountain was ike Eisenhower.
Wyoming +17 Space Mountain Fact: 4 people have died in space mountain.
Clemson -12.5 Space Mountain Fact: space mountain is not actually in space, but rather it is at Disney.
Arkansas -13 Space Mountain Fact: no food or drinks are allowed on space mountain.
Kentucky +14 Space Mountain Fact: space mountain goes 100 miles per hour.
the wager of sin is death:
I am betting all $934.50 on Alabama to win straight up at -31050. I stand to win $3.01. This is the only way I will not lose money this weekend.

well let's get to it
Coastal Carolina (+29.5) Hard to guess it. I have to imagine South Carolina is looking ahead, right? But Will Muschamp wants to look spread-y. Hard. This is a game where, writing it right now, I feel like I am going to go back and change it tomorrow. (update: I did)
Old Mist (+2.5) I think this line is pro-Texas Tech because people think TTU is close to Houston, when really it's literally thousands of miles away.
Auburn (-1.5) I'm a fool.
West Virginia (-10) NEERS
Central Michigan (+17) I guess?
Vanderbilt (-2.5) Just thinking about betting this game makes me feel like a degenerate gambler.
Louisville (+24.5) This will not be a pretty football game. 35-13, exactly not covering the spread.
Miami (-3.5) I am tired of neutral-site games. I guess this is closer to LSU, but I don't think LSU is that good. LSU has more talent but I think worse coaching, which makes this tough. I kind of worry Miami will win but not cover, some 26-24 nonsense.
---NEW THING---
All of my bets this season will be based on odds recorded on my TheScore app.
My bets: Louisville-Alabama will go under 62.5 points ($150)
Washington-Auburn will go under 48.5 points ($100)

Can you believe its 2018 and there are still only 2 people competing in this thing
Before reading these, imagine me doing the thing where LeBron throws chalk up in the air before a game but it mostly just gets in my face and I'm sneezing for half an hour. Also I have the body of a horse and the head of a lion.
south Carolina -29.5 south Carolina was my top performer last year so this year I'm going to keep "riding the cocks." Computer erase that. ah, crap
old mist +2.5 the rebs will want to go a good job for their fans
Kentucky -17 Kentucky's stadium is called Kroger field.
Washington +1.5 I am so confident that I intentionally used the 1.5 point line instead of the more common 2.5. "We don't need any stinking points" - Washington
Tennessee +10 why is it in charlotte
Vanderbilt -2.5 Remember when Vanderbilt played Alabama last year and gameday was maybe there and then Alabama won like 40-0
BAM -24.5 Alabama has been a 12 and a 7 point favorite and covered the last two years against ultimately disappointing USC and Flo-Rida State teams. What does that tell me about this large point spread? Nothing; I refuse to learn anything new.
LSU +3.5 yo yo yo yo yooo yo yoooo yo brent Schaefer
ok here are my wagers.
$100 on Tennessee to win straight up (+300, I stand to win $300)
$100 on Washington to win straight up (+110, I stand to win $110)
$110 on under 48.5 points in Auburn/Washington (-110, I stand to win $100)
And last but not least, I wager my final $690 on Alabama to win straight up (-2000, I stand to win $34.50)

Wow. You can really tell I didn't feel like posting that last night.
But I wanted it out there. I wanted you to have plenty of time to plan.
Stuff I should have put in the post last night:
History:
2016:
Chard: 50-45-2, 51.55%
Tha Cab: 44-51-2, 45.36%
20-21-1 on agreed results.
30-24-1 to you on polite disagreements.
2017:
Chuckamauga: 49-46-3, 50%
Capybara: 45-50-3, 45.92%
28-29-1 when our minds were in sync.
21-17-2 in your favor when our friendship was on the brink.
I guess usually the picks should be in on Thursday afternoons at 5.

Wow, time for football and picks
These... are football games.
Coastal Carolina @ South Carolina (-29.5)
Old Mist vs Texas Tech (-2.5) @ Houston, TX
Washington vs Auburn (-1.5) @ Atlanta, GA
Tennessee vs West Virginia (-10) @ Charlotte, NC
Central Michigan @ Kentucky (-17)
Middle Tennessee @ Vanderbilt (-2.5)
Louisville vs Alabama (-24.5) @ Orlando, FL
Miami (-3.5) vs LSU @ Arlington, TX
You pick all those games ATS. Also, you have $1000. You have to wager at least 25% or $250. You can bet it however you want. I don't care. My dogs don't care. As long as it's a real bet you can place at a real sportsbook or casino or whatever. I don't know how bets work so this will be a disaster.

The End!
Let's try not to let all the awfulness of yesterday obscure how close and fun this was. That being said, this picture seems appropriate.
For the second straight year, you set the record for highest win % (W/L portion) in a losing effort.
