NCAA Week 8

[Sam Mills 51]

Has the Virginia Tech-North Carolina game ended yet?

Nah. Another missed field-goal attempt. Another penalty. And Mack tried to go for two again.

I was watching in a DC bar with a guy who played for the 03 UVa team and two UNC fans. It was weird.

Hit my first three team parlay... thanks Florida, Clemson and LSU!

Lol
What...Alabama too risky for you?

Yeah, and they would have ****ed it up too...

Could go in the Twitter thread, but what the hell:

Being irrelevant and forgotten has to be worse in Kiffin's eyes than being hated on.

I feel you. I went 0-8 in the NHL this week, and that was largely by following a VSiN wiseguy who is usually pretty good. Fading him would never cross my mind, and if I did he'd instantly turn into Carnac.

Be careful with VSIN.

They’re owned by a sports book...

Oh, of course. But as a sports radio listening experience, VSiN is just so much better than ESPN and other sports radio networks that prattle on about nothing. I've taken some of their picks to the bank and some to the garbage can, but have learned a bit too.

 

[exmediahack]

Also had the Eagles and the Under. Because this is the one SNF game that’s a shootout.

Sorry I didn’t put that earlier.

Andre Dillard couldn't block me.

Oooof.

Holy ****. Ohio State is opening as 14-point favorites against Wisconsin!?
I know that was the worst kind of loss for Wisconsin, but really? Am I missing something there?

 

[HappyCurmudgeon]

It was projected to be -12.5 before the Illinois game happened.

Ohio State is really ****ing good. And there's zero faith in Wisconsin's ability to get anything on offense going against the Buckeyes.

 

[Batman]

I have total faith in Ohio State to blow out most teams, but that seems way too high for what is supposed to be a good Wisconsin defense. Figure they ought to keep it close. That feels like it shouldn't be worse than a 10-point game. Ohio State hasn't really faced a top-tier opponent yet, either. Best they've played so far is Michigan State.

You in at 47.5?

A very good Wisconsin defense, I agree. Say they give up 24 points to OSU, like they did Illinois. Great effort.

I could still easily see Bucky failing to get in the end zone and putting up a single digit.

 

[HappyCurmudgeon]

I got destroyed in the early games. Was on the comeback with LSU and I thought Washington +2.5 was going to come through and I got Duck'd.

Night was a little better thanks to FSU 1st half (6-1 this season) and Michigan somehow covering the +7.5

I need to not second guess myself on going against Rutgers every week, they absolutely don't give a ****.

@exmediahack may end up sneaking the under.
