    Default Ralphie's Week 1 Plays

    I will be using Bet Jamaica, The Greek, and My local guy.

    Minnesota -6.5 2 units

    Greg Paulas is on autofade till he can prove me otherwise. They were terrible last year and I dont see anything changing for the positive.


    Oklahoma St. -6. 2 units
    I dont see how Georgia's offense can keep up with the points they will be putting up. Stillwater will be rocking for an opening week SEC game. Zack and Kendall will be too much for the this Georgia squad.

    Thats it for now. I might be adding a play later. It is going to be very tough to not bet on Thursday, I want to take Boise St. but a lot of people who I respect are on Oregon so I will probably just enjoy thursday before the madness.

    FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE!!!!!!!

    My feelings on Paulus are similar to Shinskie from BC. He may be a hell of an athlete, but going from another sport to CFB is a big jump on the punishment your body will take. Hence Shinskie's broken ribs...I think everyone on this board is on Minnesota.

    No way paulus can take a hard hit, or stand in the pocket. I dont doubt his high school talent but please.

    I know a lot of people like minnesota but I just cant stay away from it. I planned on fading cuse the second i heard they named him starter.

    Oklahoma st. I really like, and the with the board being on Georgia, i like it even more.

    On your Oklahoma St. pick I would like to explain to you one thing people is not thinking about. Truth to be told this game is truly a toss up. I will not play it because no team has an edge to me. But what I can say to you is Oklahoma St. will see the most athletic defense they have seen in some time. When it comes to the SEC it comes to speed on the defensive side of the ball. For example look at the Ole Miss and Texas Tech game last year. Texas Tech looked sexy with the high octane offense but they also met a defense that can match there speed in Ole Miss. I would'nt be suprise at all if Georgia pull this upset, for the simple fact that defense wins big games and Oklahoma St. dont have much of that. But from what I hear of there new defensive coordinator he is seeing improvement, but it's not proven under gametime situations just yet.

    Oh yea and another fact look at how Florida defense basically held Oklahoma sexy offense to 14 points. Dont let speed on defense be undervalued in these types of games is my point.

    OU/UT has more physical defenses than Georgia. But UGA is defiantly on their level. And that Ole Miss defense still got lit up with an injured Crabtree...and OU held UF to a season low point total and that should be noted. We'll pretend UT/Arkansas never occured, but the assumption that SEC defenses won those games is suspect. Get Murray & Crabtree healthy and it's a totally different bowl season. Another point is...Texas Tech looked sexy until they went to Norman. After that game, they were never the same. Baylor almost beat them at home the following week. OU's defense is what truly stopped the sexiness. Not Ole Miss.

    I'm your resident OSU homer, season ticket holder and it's my alma mater. I watch these teams extremely close and I will agree with you that it's a toss up game (give OSU 2-3 points for it being played in Stillwater), but the reason I think it's a toss up game is because of the loss of the UGA skill players (Cox is questionable, King is too) & OSU's issues on the defensive line & areas of the secondary. Perrish Cox will contain AJ Green though. It's the others that are suspect.

    Either way, yeah...we are on the same page. Stay away game. Getting tired or I'd write up more.

    SEC defense does not automatically translate to tough defense

    UGA gave up lots of points last year, look at the GT game

    No it doesn't but Georgia will match Oklahoma for speed to speed. Now one of the reasons why I'm not playing Georgia is because I don't care to much for there D.C. He's only there because Marc Richt don't don't like firing his assistance. But also with the players Georgia has returning there defense should be great.

    The spreadsheet doesnt mean shit, sams is complete bullshit. Plus Ive seen you bet, you are all over the place with quarter, half, 2nd half bets. If you are honest about it this can be really fun. Just BE HONEST, you are almost 25, act like it.
