    I guess either I'm a football profit. Or Mormon Red Death just doesn't know what hes talking about. Maybe both.

          Yes, it's MRD who doesn't know what he's talking about.

                  5-1 if you listened to me.

                  Seriously, USC-Minnesota was the one result this weekend that thrilled me most. Minnesota played exactly like I thought it would, keeping the score close (much closer than I imagined) and forcing Kiffin to play his starters the entire way.

                  Your monetary considerations aside, a nightmare result would've been SC winning by 30. USC couldn't rest, nor could it build up swagger. Good for Utah.

                    They were up 19-3 and driving when they had that 30 yard fumble. You cant win them all.

                      I can't tell if your angry because I called myself a "football profit" or if you think I'm somehow less right because I spelled prophet, profit.

                      I spelled wrong on purpose, we are on a thread about gambling.

                      If its the first, you need to seriously get over yourself.

                      If it is the Second, are you serious, get over yourself.

                          alright folks lets get started on week 2 (4-2 last week 66% Goal 55%):
                          Its an all favorite go of it. One method I like to use is 10-20 point road favorites. They cover ~63% of the time. Also over the last 10 years there are three teams who are 60%+ ATS. They are OHio St., Va Tech and Boise.

                          Here are my picks:

                          iowa -6.5
                          ohio st -19
                          miss st -7
                          tulsa -13.5
                          va tech -19.5
                          bama -10
                          temple -15
                          arkansas -36 (playing @ new mexico)
                          navy -10
                          Ga tech -11

                          Two team teaser of the week
                          Stanford -15 Mich +9.5

                          Bonus two team teaser
                          Cal -.5 Utah +15

                              In general parlays are a suckers bet. You would be better off betting individual games over the course of a season. However i do find putting a low amount (like 20 bucks) on a 3 game parlay when I only bet three games on a given weekend to be fun. My theory is that would hate to miss out on the kicker if I picked all three right. I don't bother with anything over a three game parlay and I never put much money in a parlay.

                                I like them a lot I was just taking a lot of road favorites this week and they just missed my system bet (its why I put them in the teaser).

                                My opinion on Parlays is about the same as Flystrippers. Although when I go to vegas I always do a $5 12 team parlay as a sort of a lottery ticket who knows maybe I'll get lucky ticket. also its fun when you hook a 3 team parlay for a 6-1 but also the odds arent good.
