Parlayin’ It!

MARCH Parlay-NESS!!!!!!!!! OMG

It’s time to capitalize on this tournament with some parlay action.  Win a couple of parlays in the first 2 days and use the house cash to place a big wager on MICH with the points vs. Duke on Sunday.   So, a few things I picked up in the last few days was this.  13 of the first round games have a spread of 3 or less and 1 seeds on average win their first game by 29.6 points or something crazy like that (says Jay BilASS).  I also found this little website to get some historical info on teams prior tourney successes and failures.  Not sure if it will help but it’s cool to know that Duke is 77-21 in the tournament since 1985.  Or maybe that site is a LIAR.  Anyway, let’s get started on some Parlays.

#1 SEED DOMINATION:

Like I said, 29.6 point winning average.  Let’s have a look see at the games.

Duke -23.5 vs. Hampton:  This is easy.  Duke is probably  going to play their version of Chris Paul, Kyrie Irving so expect them to blow out Hampton by 40.  They beat Princeton 97-60 earlier in the year, Miami of Ohio by 34 and Colgate by 52.

Kansas -23 vs. Boston U:  Kansas has done more of the same.  They beat Ohio by 57, Texas A&M CC by 41, North Texas by 33 and even beat Baylor by 20!  Let’s not forget that MICH forced them into overtime, because they are AWESOME. Read more »

Parlay Pick$

Hello sport viewing (betting?) friends.  Let’s have a good weekend of pick$ and another MICH win, shall we?

FRIDAY BET:

Boise State -34.5 (63) @ Idaho: Boise State is on a rampage.  After kicking Hawaii’s ass 42-7 they go on to play 4-5 Idaho.  2 weeks ago, Idaho got crushed by Hawaii, 45-10.  After their beat down in Honolulu they went to Nevada and got smoked 63-17.  Look for much of the same on both sides of the ball.  Boise has to get back the attention that TCU seems to have stolen after beating UTAH. BOISE -34.5  (Boise 56 – Idaho 7)

MICHIGAN -13 (61.5) @ Purdue: To my knowledge, MICH has hit the over in 6 of the 9 games they have played this year.  They were 2 points short against ND, 5.5 short vs. MSU and 10 vs. UCONN. (that was all from memory, weird.)  Last week I thought, hell, MICH gonna lose to Illinois and the Illini defense isn’t going to allow more than 17 out of Denard.  Think again.  132 points later, MICH wins 67-65 3OT, ILL covers +3, and I need a new pair of jorts, STAT.  The line has been pushed up to 61.5.  The highest in MICH history, probably.  But here’s the deal.  Total points on average for a MICH jame this year, 80.2.  On the road? 70.8.  Yeah.  Will Purdue be able to score?  Did we think Penn State could score?  No we didn’t and they put up 41.  I purpose a MICH blow out, but not the blow out you think.  MICH OVER 61.5  (MICH 42 – Purdon’t 31)

Georgia Tech +3 (50) vs. Miami: Miami’s star QB, Interception Harris is out with an injury for this game so I fell good giving the Bumble Bee’s or whatever they are a shot.  Ga Tech played an excellent game last week in Blacksburg almost forcing overtime against the Hokies.  I can see their run option wearing down the Miami defense and putting up enough points to win the game.  GA TECH +3 (Ga Tech 24 – Miami 21) Read more »

The Parlay is BACK!

WE HAD A WINNER!!!!!!!!!!! Last week, thanks to sportsbook, I was unable to pick up the OVER on the Temple/Akron game, which in turn helped me go 3 for 3 on my parlay.  YOU KNOW IT!  Also won the MICH over pick, even though they lost.  Illinois will most likely have their way with them this weekend (notice the sad face in the picture), just as every team has this year.  Here’s looking to a much better defense in 2011.  Let’s get on to the picks!

Illinois +3 (57,5)@ Michigan: OMG.  How could I ever pick against Michigan!?  Well, it hurts,  but I gotta do it.  Michigan has yet again lost another defensive back to injury.  J T Floyd is out for the rest of the year with an ankle issue.  Bring what is the 117th WORST passing defense to another level of “Fu@k my face” to any opposing offense.  Thankfully, Illinois is big into rushing the ball (24th).  Wait, Michigan has the 57th worst rushing defense.  Wow.  That isn’t so terrible next to 117.  Sorry MICH :(   If you win I will be happy, if you lose, I will be kinda happy.   Illinois +3  (I also have this @ILL +3.5 as a separate bet, $25)

#16 Iowa -17.5 (54) vs. Indiana: Here’s the deal.  Indiana has been getting OWN’D by good defenses.  Iowa only gave up 6 to MSU last weekend and they are looking to get back to at it.  Indiana’s defense is not much to be proud of with losses to Illinois by 30 and Ohio State by 28.  Iowa is a 72% favorite to cover over at covers.com so cover that cover up with some cover 3 defense. what?  Anyway, Iowa -17.5

Virginia -1 (56.5) @ Duke: Duke tends to hit the over 90% of the time.  They are 20-5-3 to hit the over at home in the last 28.  Virginia is 7-3 in hitting the over in their last 10 games.  Although this game tends to be lower scoring, Duke is giving up 37 ppg, VA is giving up 24.  I’m hoping they keep up on their terrible defensive ways.  GO POINTS!  OVER 56.5

#7 Wisconsin -20 (51) @ Purdue: Purdue is bad.  They are Michigan’s last hope for a bowl game, that’s how bad they are.  Last time Purdue beat Wisconsin (and covered the spread) was in 2003 with Kyle Orton throwing for 411 yards.    Purdue has lost their last 2 games by an average of 41.5.  If Wisconsin doesn’t cover, they don’t deserve the Big Ten title.  Simple as that.  Wisconsin -20 Read more »

It’s Parlay Time, Yet Again. (Updated)

HERP DERP

Here we are, Halloween weekend and tons of games to choose from.  It’s the 2nd half of the season and this should mean that we know what the hell we are talking about.   I personally couldn’t be having a worse year so far.  I took out a second mortgage just to get my balance in sportsbook.com back to where it was 9 weeks ago.  BARRASSING!  At least my #Pick4 is going well.  What do we win anyway?

Card 1:

Oregon -7 (70.5!!!!) @ U$C: I like the quack quack Ducks.  They run a wicked offense that’s averaging 900 points per game.  U$C has been ok, bad defense, but they can score as well.  One thing I continue to hear is that “Oregon hasn’t played any good defenses this year!”  Everyone has an excuse why a team sucks and every team has a problem or an off day.  Oregon has yet to show that.   U$C’s two losses this year have been by 2 (Stanford) and 1 (Washington) points.  If this was 6.5 I would like it a whole lot more, but I can see the Ducks walking out of So Cal with an nice win.  Oregon -7 (QUACK! 38 – U$C 24)

Northwestern -3 (59) @ Indiana: I really enjoyed how the RAWCATZ (NW) played last weekend against MSU.  They only gave up 14 points to the Spartans in 3 quarters to eventually collapse after a super lame fake punt.  The last 3 years this game has been decided by 3 points or less so the spread is accurate, but my golden nugget of info is that Northwestern is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games.  This could be a scoring duel, but I think the NW defense hold back the Hoosiers just enough for a 7 point win.  Northwestern -3 (NW 34 – IND 27)

Navy -13.5 (55) vs. Duke: Duke is the king of the over.  7 of the last 8 vs. Independents hit for the OVER.  Navy is similar, they are 10-3-1 to hit the OVER in their last 14 against ACC opponents.  Duke is giving up 39 ppg and the only way this doesn’t hit the OVER is because of Navy’s constant running game.  They rush for an average just below 300 ypg and throw only at around 100.  Good thing Duke’s defense gives up over 200 ypg on the ground.  Here’s to hoping for dry weather.  OVER 55  (Navy 41 – Duke 24) Read more »

Parlay Time

Week 8.  Always split 8’s at the blackjack table.  Always split my brain on PARLAY BETS.  SHIAT.  Got one bet right last week.  The MICH OVER and they lost the game :(

Let’s get started.

Michigan State (7-0) -5  (53) vs. Northwestern (5-1): Usually a battle to the very end.  Lots of points scored between these 2 in the past (except last year).  Lets have a look see how MSU did…….MSU Has won 5 of the last 9.  3 of those 5 were at NW.  Nortwestern has only 1 of their 4 wins against MSU at home.  Average points total per game? 59.  The 53 O/U is tricky here.  will Sparty light it up or save some gas for their game at Iowa?  I think they will play conservative.  Let’s check the weather, shall we?   Holy CHIPS there’s a 70% chance of rain.  I like the Under 53.  Not only because of the weather, but because Northwestern is rocking a grass field.  Woot!  UNDER 53

#3 Oklahoma (6-0) -3 (53) @ #16 Missouri (6-0): Oklahoma is at the top of the BCS standings currently and an interesting Missouri team will not take that from them this Saturday.   Mizzou has had a simple schedule which leads to them only allowing 10 ppg from opponents.  But they won’t be able to shut down Landry Jones of OK.  He’s thrown for 1800 yards & 14 TD’s while only allowing 3 INTs.  A 3 point spread seems small for a team as well corched as Oklahoma, so I’m gonna BOOK IT.  -3 Oklahoma

#5 Auburn (7-0) -6 (51.5) vs. #6 LSU (7-0): LSU can’t keep winning the way they do and with the way Auburn played last week, I don’t see them having a chance on the road here.   Auburn may not be the best defensevly, so LSU will actually be able to score more than 6 points for once.  Auburn will  however put up points averaging 40 ppg and starting Heisman hopeful Cam Newton.  Auburn -6

Purdue (4-2) +24 @ #10 Ohio State (6-1): Ohio State has all the players to easily win this game, but Purdue has the edge in punting and penalties LOL!!!!  Ok, seriously, I just don’t like Ohio State.  I think they pewped their pants last week against Wiscy and wont do it again, but Purdue will not lose by more than 21 here.  Pryor is still hurt in his vaginal area.  Lets keep it close people!  PURDOIN’ IT +24!!!
