The rest of my week 9 college football action!!

Alright readers I am going to drop a massive amount of pics on you, read slowly and try not to go into cardiac arrest until you get to spend the money you make off my picks. I am writing from an undisclosed area due to the fact Vegas is after me and Banter Theory for taking all their money last Saturday. I am introducing a new system to show the level of confidence I have in each of my picks. The new system will be called the "Hello Money" rating, the game will be rated 1 through 5, 5 being the best. Here we go people:



UNLV +22.5 @ BYU: Hello Money 5: UNLV is not to be underestimated, they have two quality wins against BCS conference opponents. Not to mention BYU could not cover against Utah St. BYU wins by 10.


Virginia +11.5 @ Georgia Tech: Hello Money 2: Virginia is playing with confidence and GT struggled with Gardner-Webb. GT wins by a FG.


Oklahoma -19@ Kansas St: Hello Money 3: Oklahoma is lying in wait, Bama will lose........soon, and Texas has its hands full every week. Kansas St's defense will get lit up by Bradford.



TCU-31.5 vs Wyoming: Hello Money 5: TCU is underrated, they ghetto blasted the BYU whities back to Utah, TCU's only loss was to powerhouse Oklahoma. Wyoming will never see the endzone.


Nortwestern -8@ Indiana: Hello Money 2: Indiana is terrible and they want to make you money, Northwestern covers nicely.


Boise St -7.5 @ San Jose St: Hello Money 3: Boise St. like to make you money and destroyed a Hawaii team that SJSU squeaked by. Broncos easy.


Minnie +1 @ Perdon't: Hello Money 1: Minnie likes to cover and Perdue hates winning.


Kentucky +24.5 @ Florida: Hello Money 3: 24.5 is alot of points for any SEC game. Florida wins but not by more than 3 TD's.


Auburn +3@ West Virginia: Hello Money 3: The Mountaineers only dropped 16 on the Orange in Morgantown, "Small Game" Tommy needs this one, even if he has to play QB himself.


USF -4.5 @ L'ville: Hunter Cantwell is standing one leg, if USF cant get to him im going to put my degree in the shredder and pawn the rest of my season tickets. Leavitt rallies the troops for a statement game, USF comfortably, hopefully just like last years score!!



That's it my minions of money making, you might want to purchase a wheelbarrow to transport your cash to the nearest FDIC insured depository. I am feeling it for Saturday.........BIG TIME!!!

Week 9 NCAA Football Action

After an excellent Saturday of money making, Im back with some early picks so you too can nationalize Vegas's bank account!! Myself and Billy Vegas over at the Game theory blog are cooking up some "hello money specials", here is a peek at some of my action so far:


Kansas -2 vs. Texas Tech: The Red Raiders will get a taste of their own medicine on Saturday in Lawrence. Kansas has 2 losses to two solid football teams, both of these losses were on the road. The Jayhawks are still in the hunt for a Big 12 title. Texas Tech has not impressed me, especially on defense, Nebraska found their weakness and almost pulled out the upset in Lubbock. Look for Reesing to have a HUGE day, connecting to Briscoe for touchdowns. This is a HUGE game for Kansas, almost a must win. Jayhawks by 7.


Oklahoma St. +13 @ Texas: Please do not discount the Pokes my friend, this is a solid team and they have played Texas tought the last two years. Both times Texas had to come back from big deficits to pull out the victory. I think Texas wins this game, but 13 is a big number for a Texas team coming off 2 huge games, lets not forget my friends the Pokes put it on Mizzou at home two weeks ago. Hello Money!! Longhorns by 6.


Penn St. -2.5@ Ohio St: to qoute the Sunshine Scooter "not so fast my friends" Penn St has yet to let me down this year and i like money, that being said Ohio St. beat a medicore team in Michigan St and that is about it, Penn St. had a scare put into them by Michigan early but they recovered nicely. Terrell Pryor will be pressured by Penn St's defense and forced to make some bad decisions. Penn St. by 10.


Thats my early preview, I will be back with a couple more picks before gameday, enjoy!!

Week 7 NFL action, picks, spreads

This is going to be short and to the point, since no one reads this blog anyways. I guess you all hate money. NFL winners ATS this Sunday will be as folows:

Giants -10 vs. 49ers: Giants big 34-6

Cowboys -7 @ Rams: Cowboys big 41-10

Chiefs +9 vs. Titans: Chiefs keep it close, Titans have a VERY tough schedule coming up Titans 17- 13.

Saints +3 @ Carolina: Saints win by 3.

Texans -9 vs Lions: Texans 38-14.

Colts -2 @ Packers: Colts win by 4.

Redskins -7.5 vs Browns: Redskins 24-14

Tampa Bay -11 vs. Seahawks: Seattle will get crushed, go heavy on this game Bucs 34-10.


Broncos +3 @ Patriots: Patriots suck Shanahan is 5 and 1 against the hoodie and now he has a better team. BRONCOS HUGE, put your mortgage on this game. Broncos 34-10.



That's it.

My thoughts on the Tampa Bay Rays

Upon moving to Tampa I supported the then Devil Rays, I went to their spring training games as well as regular season games, on a good day there was maybe 10,000 people there. I would cheer for them as long as they weren't playing my beloved Yankees. Right now I am cheering for the Red Sox to come back in this ALCS game 5. The Red Sox are trailing by 1 run right now. That's correct readers, I am a lifelong Yankees fan cheering for the Red Sox. Why you ask?? Its because I absolutely despise, hate and loathe the Rays. What an arrogant bunch they are, management always complaining about the Yankees, always crying and bitching like a 3 year old with a toothache. Shut up, you have not done anything since your inception. The worst is the Rays fans, what a classless bunch. I cant even go to a game and watch my Yankees play without some drunk Rays "fan" starting with me and every time it did not end well for that fan as I am 6'3" and 225lbs and do not tolerate people throwing beverages at me or threatening my family. Im tired of all the crap in the paper about the "small market" team. Umm Tampa is not a small market, they have four professional sports teams, not to mention my alma matter USF Bulls. As an economics major, I have quite a bit of knowledge of sports economics. Revenue sharing is a big part of sports, teams like the Yankees, Red Sox and Mets pay luxury tax which is spread to the "small market" teams, like the Royals and Mariners. If the Rays did not sell one ticket allllllll year they would still make money due to tv contracts, road gate receipts, licensing etc. So lets say they average 15,000 in attendance and say the average ticket price is $35.00 then times that by the number of games, 81. The total would be $42,525,000, now that was a low estimate on attendance and ticket prices. As we know the Rays participate in 2nd degree price discrimination for what they call "premium games" this is intended to capture consumer surplus from Yankee and Red Sox fans. Now that total does not include concessions, parking, merchandise (team store), nor does it include road game revenue which is split 70% to 30% I believe. Not to mention the tax payers pick up the tab for the field they play in, but yet they still complain about wanting a new stadium, who do you think you are Rays? Maybe Anchorage, Alaska is looking for an MLB team and your girl Sarah Palin can build you new stadium they could call it "Wolf Killer Stadium" that would be great because then I wouldn't have to look at your team, fans or hear your homer announcers Magrane and Staats complain about every fucking ball and strike that is made. Right now the Red Sox are tied with the Rays 7-7. LET'S GO RED SOX!! In closing I would like to say get some class Rays and Rays fans learn something about baseball before you open your mouth and have some respect for other teams and their fans.

Recap of Thursday nights action

Me and my battle Billy Vegas from Game Theory started off with an impressive 2 and 0. I took TCU -1 and Billy Vegas took NC State +12. BYU was dominated much to my delight, I am sick and tired of hearing about this garbage team and their winning streak against teams who came into division 1 football yesterday, bye bye BYU go back to Utah, bow to Warren Jeffs, marry multiple 13 year old girls and churn butter and then go fuck ya selves.

Week 8 College Footbal Action.............

To quote Mr. Krab's of Sponge Bob fame "I like money" after a rather dismal week #7 I became angry and shoved my whole account on Hawaii -8, when I woke up on Sunday morning it was like Christmas morning!! My account multiplied like rabbits , of course I have to thank my battle Billy Vegas of game theory for that action. I finished Sunday and Monday going 5 and 0 hitting a 3 game parlay as well. Here is some of my action for this Saturday:


TCU pk vs. BYU: This should be a good game, I have the Horned Frogs winning by 7. TCU sleep walked through Colorado St. last week looking foward to this game. I am not on the BYU bandwagon, they should have lost to Washington and UCLA blows. Bye bye Max Hall, bye bye Bronco Mendenhall or whatever your name is.


Penn St. -23.5 vs Michigan: With Penn St. playing Ohio St next weekend look for Michigan to stay close in this game..................................................I m just kidding Penn St. will roll like crowds at a handicapped convention! OH!! Penn St has not beaten Michigan since I was in high school, so the Nittany Lions are going to maul Rich Rod and his Wolverines (sorry battle) I think Joe Pa will run the score up in this game to alleviate 13 years of Penn St frustration. My advice for this game is to load up, go to Amscott and bounce a check if you have to my friends cause this one is going to be hard to watch from a Wolverine perspective. My prediction Penn St. 73 Michigan 0.


Kansas +21 at Oklahoma: Oklahoma will no doubt win this game but 21 points is a big number. I dont know how Oklahoma can be charged up for this game after their loss to Texas last week. Their national title hopes are dashed, Bradford will put up numbers but so will Reesing. Oklahoma 34 Kansas 21.


Georgia -14.5 vs Vandy: Vandy was a sexy pick, but me and Billy Vegas called their demise last week on our upset special. Vandy will phone this one in between the hedges, Georgia will be too much for them. Georgia 31 Vandy 7


Texas -6 vs Mizzou: I pat myself on the back after hitting Okaloma St against Mizzou last week. I think Texas is a little bit better than Oklahoma St. though, plus they are at home Texas wins and gives me back my money they took from me last week.........with interest, Texas wants to remain undefeated and Colt "Can I run yet?" Mccoy wants to outshine Tebow in the Heisman race. Texas 28 Mizzou 17



Go get paid my friends and enjoy the fruits of my research!! I will be back shortly with my NFL action for this week as I have ALOT of games coming up!

Early look at week 6 action............

The Blanket is back after a depressing week #4, thankfully I received a government bailout and got my internet turned back on!! I think I have been spending to much time around Top "Bye Bye Money" Constantino!! The Blanket went 2-0 on Saturday with Texas Tech and Texas raising my bank account faster than the national debt! The Blanket went 1-0-1 on Sunday, with the Colts covering and a Titans push. I waved bye bye to my 5 team parlay on monday night thanks to that garbage team from New Orleans. I have added a new pick to my weekly action, not only do I have the Upset Special, but I have added my new "Bye Bye Money" special, this is a game that I feel you want to stay away from. Here is my early action:


Troy -4.5 @ FAU: I took this game because Rusty Smith is struggiling mightily, the Trojans are 2-2 with losses to OSU and OSU (Buckeyes and Cowboys) and the Owls are 1-4. Even though this game is at home FAU will lose. Troy covers comfortably.

UPSET SPECIAL: Northwestern +3 vs. Michigan St.: Look for Northwestern to win this game outright, it will be a close contest throughout. Northwestern is 5-1 ATS versus Michigan St. Northwestern is 5-0 Michigan St. is 4-1, neither has a quality win, but i have to stay with Northwestern is this game.

BYE-BYE MONEY SPECIAL: Ball St. -16 @ Western Kentucky: Testicle Tech is ranked for the first time in the history of time. 16 is a big number for a unproven team, WKU has had a brutal schedule and will stay in this game, Testicle Tech. wins but doesn't cover.
