NCAA Prop Betting: The Ol’ Ball Coach Can Make You Rich

READ MORE: Football", NCAA, NCAA Betting, South Carolina Gamecocks, Steve Spurrier

After last weekend’s trouncing of the Florida Gators, Steve Spurrier and his South Carolina Gamecocks are seated at 21 in the BCS poll. Bad news for Gator fans and Spurrier haters, but if we look closely at a prop line offered at the beginning of the year, Spurrier may make fans out of a few more people if his team beats Clemson this weekend. BetOnSports, obviously down on Spurrier’s chances of fielding a competitive team offered a +1000 line on South Carolina finishing in the Top 25.

Yes. Do the math. Get over to BetOnSports RIGHT NOW, open an account, and for CHRIST’S SAKE dust off that old “Cocks” hat you wore in college.

NCAA Football Betting: New Brunswick’S Return To Suckitude Will Be Swift

READ MORE: Louisville Cardinals, NCAA Betting, Rutgers Scarlet Knights

Rutgers University football has captivated New Jersey. After ten straight losing seasons, the Scarlet Knights are suddenly in the middle of a bowl bid hunt, which makes tonight’s game at Louisville that much more important. Unfortunately, the Knights have to do it with a redshirt freshman quarterback named Mike Teel. This seems like it would lower the 64 1/2 point total that’s showing on the board right now. Even though both teams show a prodigious passing offense, it can’t be expected that Rutgers can get anything resembling a shootout with quarterback Mike Neel behind center. Rutgers is a 22 point underdog and have, it seems, absolutely no shot at winning this game. Sorry New Jersey.

NCAA Betting: It’s A Longhorn Party

READ MORE: Basketball", Longhorns, NCAA Betting, Texas, Texas Longhorns Football

It’s been a great year for Texas so far. The Houston Astros finally made the World Series. The Dallas Cowboys are seemingly playoff bound this year in the NFL. And President George W. Bush is the most popular president in history.

Well, the sports teams are good.

However, Sportsbook.com is of the thought that the pinnacle of Texas success is soon to come. The betting site is offering 35/1 odds to anybody if the Vince Young-led Texas University Longhorns win the Rose Bowl this year and the Rick Barnes-coached basketball team wins the NCAA championship. These are actually great odds considering it appears that Texas is destined for a head-to-head matchup with USC come January. However, we also no how unpredictable March Madness can be. Yet, with such huge payout possibilites, it’ll only add to the stressed-out drunken lunacy come springtime. Good times.

Oddjack FUYA: A Time of Adjustment

READ MORE: Ass", Football, NCAA Betting, NFL Betting, Up, Your

So, overall, not a bad weekend. We made a little scratch. Not in the NFL where we went a sluggish 4-3-1, all thanks to unshakeable faith in a certain team from Philadelphia that at this point is just not very good. But as Philadelphia fans, we think it’s perfectly reasonable to take this opportunity to tell Terrell Owens to fuck himself. Thank you for indulging us.

But maybe it’s time to put homerism aside and hop on another team’s bandwagon, like those plucky Houston Texans who’ve now covered two weeks in a row. Or maybe we should line up for this most recent Chicago Bears bandwagon? Listen, Chicago, even though it’s nice and all that you’ll probably win your division and get a first-round playoff bye, let’s remember how well that served you in 2001, when you had that brilliant 13-3 season only to be completely manhandled by the Eagles in the first round. How is Jim Miller’s shoulder by the way? Anyway, no Bears bandwagon jumping.

NCAA, we went 5-3, with Virginia Tech showing us that they’re mortal and Miami showing us that, shit, they really are pretty good. And goddamn if ESPN’s Colin Cowherd did not increase his “Best Bets” record to a whopping 9-0 with his NC State over FSU pick that he made, oh, back in August. This does not bode well for Penn State, who play at Michigan State on November 19.

And let’s not forget our glue-sniffing friend at American Gambling News, whose early season shit-talking has really not carried over to his ability to make sound picks. Of course, we’re fortunate enough to have all of these “resources” at our disposal that make our picks with much more accuracy. Gawker’s team of handicappers that crunch numbers 24/7 really help us in picking these games. So, we thank them. We recommend American Gambling News use frozen peas on that swollen nutsack.

NCAA Betting: Will A Dead Former Teammate Hamper La. Tech?

READ MORE: Lester Brown, Louisiana Tech, NCAA Betting, Utah State

That seems to be the sentiment Covers is suggesting with its story about former Louisiana Tech offensive lineman Lester Brown. Brown, 23, was killed in a car accident last Monday and many of the current players and coaches are still in shock. La. Tech are seven point favorites on the road against Utah State, which moved from eight after word of Brown’s death spread throughout the campus. Now, we’ve seen these types of situations go both ways. Unfortunately, it seems like that when teams are in mourning, on the road, their heads aren’t really in the game. If we were to take this game we’d seriously consider Utah State as all indications are that Louisiana Tech might be emotionally spent. And 90% of the betting public right now is hopping all over La. Tech. Saps.

Chopping Lines: Feeling The Mustache

7:30 p.m.

Louisville Cardinals (4-2)

BEST LINE: PITT +21, LOU -20.5

Yep. We’re doing it. As much as the mustache has dogged us all year, we’re not turning away from the 21 points. As dominant as Louisville is at home and as high-powered they are(averaging over 60 points per game at home this season) there seems to be a little consistency in Pitt’s offense in their last three victories. The total for tonight’s game is an astronomical 66 and couple with Louisville’s home average and the fact that Pittsburgh has been scoring some points lately, we’d actually like the over as well. Madness! We swear if Wannstedt’s team doesn’t show up tonight, we’ll never, ever touch them again. Ever. That’s a promise. But let’s just say we’ve got a feeling about Tyler Palko this evening after Louisville defensive end Elvis Dummeril basically said he’d dance all over his face this week. Dem’s fighting words.

PICK!: PITT +21 and OVER
