Week 8 L2Thirst

Sam Leavit cannot even get a run or pass off of this TTECH NFL like defense in the early going......wow!!!

Wow....two horses standout in post parade

I have #7 in my PICK5 ...wow

#6 looks ripping and Dave Menary trains with Dexter Dunn driving > $5 across on this one !

Whoops...wrong thread 

Big changes coming to my Top 12 today.....will work on it later. I got skewered today and have no idea how to bet right now so am going to take a break. I don't feel like I am pressing, just my reads on how I think a team matches up is not working out with the numbers I am playing..... I know with horses, you can get on a roll for 2 months and then you leak money and nothing works,  horses go off stride etc.... well, I have gone off stride 

Need to work on my data anyway and catch up. Top 12 /20 and the best teams with 1-2 wins later ....

What I put together late Saturday night: Playoff Picture 

 ------------------------------------------------------------

BEST TEAMS /PLAYOFF SETUP - as I see it looking ahead

2024/25 Champ Still Reigns #1 = BUCKEYES   (BIG 10) 

#2. Texas AM    (SEC)

-undefeated but I believe Alabama is better 

#3  Indiana    (BIG 10)

-undefeated and better than any SEC as of now, but Committee would put best SEC team at #2 

#4 Alabama   (SEC)

-one early hiccup but if they go undefeated the rest of the way, they will stay in Top 4

---------------In the Playoff now but this will change obviously------- 

5. Oregon

6. Georgia

7. Miami

8. Ole Miss

9. BYU

10. Georgia Tech

11. Texas Tech  (If I were at #6, would not want to face this team on neutral field)

12.  USF     (best Group of 5)

------------------- THE REST are next in line best teams/chance for playoffs

13. Louisville  (like TTECH, their defense is unreal and road win vs #2)

14. Vanderbilt  

15. Notre Dame  (They might be in Top 12 if only one loss)

16. Missouri

---------------------Have a chance   

17. Virginia

18. Texas

19. Oklahoma

20. LSU

------------------------------21st  to 30+ (not true order)

Very Good Two Loss Teams =  Michigan, Utah, Tennessee, Arizona St, USC

Good 1 or 2 Loss Teams = Nebraska, Washington, Cincy, Illinois, Iowa, Tulane, Houston, Memphis, Iowa St, Pitt, TCU, Minny

How good are they? (zero/one loss teams) = James Madison, San Diego St., UNT, Navy

Going to quietly make these plays in parlays this week....no official thread likely for Week 9 but I reserve the right to change my mind 

Spreads I like that I am seeing on ESPN game lists now at 2:45 pm *** have not checked injury report***

1. Mississippi St +6.5 

2. Memphis  +3.5

3. Iowa St  -2.5  > did not check total but if UNDER over 51 pts, like the UNDER 

4. Vandy  -2.5 >  lean Under on this total as well 

5. Arkansas  +1.5 

6. Kansas  -2.5
