The usual rules:
- all picks are against the Vegas line
- starting with {v}1000, must bet at least 25% percent of your bank
- picks are due by 5:00 pm Central Time on Thursdays
The usual rules:
1. Lost for Swords, great
2. Starlynx, it's fine, missed a chance to call it StarFaux
3. TrioJam, good
4. Shogun Showdown, not bad
5. Ten Minutes till Dawn, is there a name for these kinds of games? I like them
I'm not sure why this series reminds me of The Captain, but it does.
2. The Patriots
1. Die in the Dungeon - very good
2. Tiny Islands - good
3. Six-Sided Streets - pretty good
4. Flooded Caves - neat
5. Pelagium - good but gets tiring, needs a "win or keep playing?" mechanic

see you in the pick them
really not feeling good. hopefully that means i mess this up very badly.
Old Mist -2.5
Arkansas -3
Florida +9.5
Georgia Tech +38.5
Clemson -14.5
Kentucky -3.5
Auburn +21.5
LSU -10
Tennessee -14
{v} let's make it a little interesting, maybe
1. {v}273.65 on Georgia -30000 to win {v}0.91.
2. {v}68.17 on Caddy +1053 to win {v}717.83.
Meaning, of course, it's time to convert to Catholicism.
Mississippi State (+2.5) at Old Mist: I'm willing to believe that Old Mist is distracted. Finally off the Old Mist train, so they'll probably win by 35.
Arkansas (-3) at Missouri: Seems low
Florida at Florida State (-9.5): Florida has lost my approval
Georgia Tech at Georgia (-38.5): No
South Carolina at Clemson (-14.5): Tennessee losing did a lot for playoff hopefuls trying to get their team serious about a rival
Louisville (+3.5) at Kentucky: kind of funny vibes in this one
Auburn (+21.5) at Alabama: Believing
LSU (-10) at TAMU: It looks like I may be wrong about how well Brian Kelly was going to fit in at LSU.
Tennessee (-14) at Vanderbilt: who cares
{v}{v}{v}
GIMME {v}655.39 on Auburn covering (-21.5), to win {v}595.81
delightful
stranger things: 3-4 (43-44-1); {v}655.39
a different tv show, i don't care: 4-3 (49-38-1); {v}1,367.26
Florida (-14) at Vanderbilt: foolish
UMass at TAMU (-33.5): It's easy to imagine Jimbo trying to run it up big in this game to prove he can still coach offense. This is an insultingly low over/under that I very nearly bet under.
Georgia at Kentucky (+22.5): seems like a lot
Western Kentucky at Auburn (-5.5): We're in full I BELIEVE mode
Tennessee (-21.5) at South Carolina: Hypothesis: Tennessee wants to lay on every point, to look good for the potential playoff spot.
Old Mist (-2.5) at Arkansas: Most Old Mist lines look wrong to me this year, and then I'm usually the idiot. I refuse to learn anything from this fact.
UAB at Lsu (-14.5): Looks like I am mostly picking favorites, that's fine

it was easy because i am so familiar with it.
white claw: 4-2-1 (40-40-1), {v}905.09
the aldi kind (gross): 3-3-1 (45-35-1), {941.32}
Missouri at Tennessee (-20.5): tough to care
Vanderbilt at Kentucky (-17.5): Vanderbilt is Not Good.
LSU (-3) at Arkansas: I would say "letdown" except Arkansas lost to Liberty last week.
Alabama at Old Mist (+11.5): too good to be true but I hope
South Carolina (+7.5) at Florida: It's hard to get a handle on Florida this year, probably because I haven't watched them much and hate them, but it seems like a reasonable guess that they're also Not Good, though not to the extent Vandy (see above) is not good.
Georgia (-16.5) at Mississippi State: Only good scenario left in college football is Georgia getting upset in some random remaining game (not going to happen), then losing to a two-loss SEC West champion (also not going to happen), and the SEC gets left out of the playoffs entirely (also too not going to happen).
TAMU at Auburn (-1.5): lol

Florida at TAMU (-3.5): Not sure why I feel like it's impossible TAMU will lose this many in a row, but many things once seemed impossible.
Kentucky (-1.5) at Missouri: Funny and insulting line to Kentucky, though they are a team that seems to be in decline.
Tennessee (+8) at Georgia: I believe
Liberty Bear (+13.5) at Arkansas: sure
Alabama (-13) at Lsu: I'd like to think I am wrong, but as much as people talk about how scary Baton Rouge is blah blah blah, it seems like Alabama goes down there and sets a freshman rushing record or something every few years.
South Carolina (-7) at Vanderbilt: another vaguely insulting line. Just realized I picked mostly road teams.

TAMU at Mississippi State (-4): Who cares
LSU (-8) at Auburn : Auburn has not covered in a single game this year. Going for the reverse letdown.
Georgia (-28): Missouri is a dumb team of bad players. I am going to feel stupid for not betting the over on a game that's going to be like 63-28.

Penn State at Auburn (+3): You can purchase my new book, Bet To Lose, at airport bookstores everywhere
Vanderbilt at Northern Illinois (-3): I still instinctively assume that Michael Turner, who was born before I was and played his last NFL season in 2012, is still playing at Northern Illinois.
La-Mo at Alabama (-48.5): I guess the assumption is that Alabama will be mad, sure
Old Mist (-15.5) at Georgia Tech: Is this really low? Am I an idiot? I thought they were about to fire Goff Ceollins.
Mississississippi St at LSU (+2.5): Let's see what Krian Belly (a name I just made up as a nickname for LSU head football coach Brian Kelly) can do

Week Two Picks:
Wake Forest (-10, -350) at Vanderbilt (+280) (T:64): Vanderbilt is not good.
Alabama (-20, -1667) at Texas (+900) (T:64.5): This line opened at like 14 points and Alabama has still gotten all the picks.
South Carolina (+270) at Arkansas (-7.5, -340) (T:53): I would take Arkansas at 10 points, I think.
Missouri (+270) at Kansas State (-9, -340) (T:57): Missouri's not good, right
Appalachian State (+700) at TAMU (-18.5, -1000) (T:52.5): sure
Tennessee (-6.5, -240) at Pittsburg (+200) (T:66): Seems like a pick. Tennessee vs. Pittsburg is a good game to be playing, on principle.
Kentucky (+175) at Florida (-5, -213) (T:52.5): I feel like this is a stupid pick. Not changing it.
San Jose St. (+1100) at Auburn (-23, -2000) (T:50.5): Update: no one cares
Mississippi State (-10.5, -425) at Arizona (+340) (T:59.5): This game made me recheck it again, after rechecking it before, because: why is this happening. Cannot imagine betting on this.

I will not be taking questions at this time.
I'm going to pick some football games, I'm happy to do it.
Ball State at Tennessee (-35.5): Big Boy is going to try to get that offense hummin'.
La. Tech at Missouri (-19.5): 2036 SEC title game preview
Oregon (+17.5) vs Georgia: I definitely, definitely, definitely Hate This.
Cincinnati at Arkansas (-6): I think Sam and the boys got a little something for 'em.
Troy at Old Mist (-22.5): I think Lane and the boys got a little something for 'em.
Utah at Florida (+3): I read on The Internet that Utah is a slow-starting team, that's my pick.
Miami at Kentucky (-16.5): I don't like that pudgy jerk who coaches Kentucky, but he seems pretty competent. Him fighting with the basketball coach via twitter was funny.
Utah State (+41.5) at Alabama: (Italian accent) that's a lotta da points!
Memphis at Mississippi State (-15): Revenge game maybe?
Georgia St. at South Carolina (-12.5, -450): A funny and disrespectful line that is pretty hard to pick

Here are some lines and such. There are a couple of pretty good games, or potentially good games. The pick them is a lot easier to do when the conference schedule begins.

seems fine.
Wow! The Pick Them is so easy this year!
Vanderbilt at Hawaii (+8): Going way out there for the first week seems pretty tricky.

Zac Blackerby is a child who has a child's memory and understanding of Auburn football. One result is that the valuations in the following thought experiment are somewhere between unusual and wrong, but we're going to stick with these options as they are presented.
My pick: Cam Newton ($5), Tank Bigsby ($2), Seth Williams ($3), C. J. Uzomah ($3), and Shon Coleman ($2).
The biggest values on this chart are running back and wide receiver (actually I guess Newton is the biggest value on any chart), where Cameron Artis-Payne is for some reason third and the running back I actually want from 2010-on, Michael Dyer, is not available. But it doesn't really matter; this is an unstoppable offense. Newton and Bigsby are an excellent running combo, and Williams and Uzomah are downfield threats who will force teams to back off.
My alternate build is Nick Marshall ($4), Kerryon Johnson ($4), Ryan Davis ($1), Sal Cannella ($1), and Greg Robinson ($4). That offense also is unstoppable, for completely different reasons.
Bo Nix should be over Stidham, Uzomah over Shenker, and Coleman over Dismukes.
They don't make webgames like they used to, but these are good.
