Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

I like to gamble on sports.  I figure I'll post some bets here just so everybody can see how horrible I do and laugh at me.  Seems like fun.

 

Anyway, last night I put two units on South Carolina +4.5 and won (a unit is a relative unit of measurement based on how much you play per wager).

 

Tonight I like Temple against Army -15 (now -14.5).  

 

Sucks that the line got better after I put a bet down, but that happens all the time.  I like Temple.  They have a good offense, a good QB, and good coach.  Army is coming off a 2-10 season.  They are pretty one dimensional.  I think Temple can hold them to minimal points and put up alot of points.

 

Also, I like Stanford.  The line is continuing to move.  Last I looked it's -12.5.  Kansas State has a young team.  I think Stanford has a day. McCaffrey has a day.  I will put a bet on the favorites here too.

 

So that's one unit each on Temple and Stanford.  Follow me @thefakeBrock on twitter where I post bets on a few different sports if interested. 

 

Thoughts on these picks?  What do you like this week?  I haven't looked much into the games tomorrow yet.

I'd take a shot on Houston +11.5 against Oklahoma


Northwestern is +51 vs Baylor

I think it's Northwestern St... Appears they did indeed get crushed.


Ya Houston might be worth a play. Should be close game.

Stanford looking really good. Temple might outright lose to Army. They can't stop the option crap.

Why can't they stop crap?

Also, isn't Army's offense more of a wing T base?

it's triple option. threw maybe like 3 passes all game.  did not really pay too much attention to the formation. they were just consistently getting 5 yards a pop or more towards the end of the game. Temple lacked the strength to stop runs up the middle and then Army would bounce it outside with an option or toss.  Temple offense not as potent as I thought.

That bet on Houston is looking pretty good right now.

Fournette is going to get banged up this year. I'd probably have chosen to play too but its very risky.
