Mega Bets Week 13 Part 2

11/26/2011

Off to a good start with the Mega Bets as the Harbaugh Bowl was a 13-6 thriller.

For Part 2 I will take two Friday games

Mega Bets Week 13 Part 2:
Louisville @ South Florida under 44.0 -Sticking with the usual under formula two defensive teams that are challenged offensively.

Houston -2.5 @ Tulsa - Tulsa can keep up with Houston especially at home but when the game is on the line Houston will keep its slim BCS chances going with an exciting finish.

I'll also go with a mini mega on:
Boston College @ Miami (FL) under 44.0 - Going with what works - good defenses and challenged offenses

And as always - here is the week 13 Bettors Guide at least so far

Well done Doofus- Well done indeed!!

A fine week of football!

The Spartans not only won the coveted Brass Spatoon but wrapped up the Legends Division also. MSU will be in the very first Big Ten Championship Game on December 3rd. Plans are already in place to host a blow out party for the Whiskey Swilling Cigar Chomping Football Society in the Man Cave (subject to approval from the head of the Doofus household of course)

Overall the Big Book of Guesses went slightly less than par at 41-44-3 but the Doofus went 3-0!!

Week 12 Mega Bet Recap:
Penn State @ Ohio State under 38.0 - Got lucky on this one. Both teams started out by running up the score. By halftime the score was 20-14. I figured this one was toast as one more TD would get the over. Midway through the 3rd quarter Penn State had 1st and goal at the OSU 2 but the Bucknuts held and the under was still in play. The teams then spent the rest of the game starting deep in their own territory - driving to midfield and punting. Amazingly no points were scored in the second half. Final Score - the same 20-14 WIN

Kansas State +8.0 @ Texas - Texas' defense was great - holding KSU QB Casey Klein to 4 yds and the Wildcats to 121 yards total. But Klein made just enough plays to win. Texas's offense still stinks. Look for a few more unders on Texas. Final Score KSU 17 Small Horns 13. And taking the Money line at +260 was like getting 2 Mega Bets for the price of one! WIN

The Doofus was sent to the back of the room with the rest of the dunces last week

The 2011 GO JUMBO trip was a huge success.

The college picks were not but the NFL and over / unders offset most of the losses. Still as on Big Book of Guesses follower said " A monkey rubbing his ass with one hand and throwing darts at the football odds column would select at least as many winners as you have"

Can't disagree with that.

But I'll keep trying. And of course, you can always fade the picks and make some money.

Seeing how the NFL and over/unders are doing better I will use more of those for the Mega Bets

Week 12 Mega Bets:
Penn State @ Ohio State under 38.0 - Two defensive teams with no offenses. Always good for the under. PSU is going through the most turmoil a program ever had and now they head into the hostile Horshoe. Maybe the Nits rally but they could also crumble. This one has the look of the LSU Bama 9-6 classic

Ellis arrived in a spiffy rental scooter

Another great GO JUMBO weekend!!

The festivities started out on Thursday. Getting into the Las Vegas Hilton with time to spare to make some bets on the Thursday night games (No pushing the "needing special assistance" out of the way like last year) I plunked down some starter bets on the Houston Cougars and under on San Diego/Oakland. Pete and Woz came in during the games having already gotten some action on Houston and Va Tech. All the bets cashed in and we got the weekend off to a profitable start.

The Week 9 picks went down in flames

A bad weekend of football for the Doofus.

Michigan State started out the weekend on a sour note getting run out of Lincoln NE with a 24-3 loss stapled to their butts.

The Man Cave Whiskey Swilling Cigar Chomping Football Society didn't have a particularly good week either as MSU, Purdue, Ohio State, USC, UConn, Wake and Rutgers all lost. GT, Auburn, Northwestern, FSU and UNC chalked up wins to keep the weekend from being a total bummer. Army played a Div 1AA so they didn't count (c'mon Dwink - man up - you shouldn't be playing 1AA this late in the year)

The Mega Bets were absolutely terrible to going a perfect 0-4. Every pick started out like crap only to rally. Tough to lay tons of points and start out down 2 touchdowns.

Week 9 Recap:
Arkansas -10.0 @ Vanderbilt - Vandy got up 21-7 late in the first half. Arkansas came back to win 31-28. Vandy missed a chip shot FG at the buzzer which would have sent the game into overtime. LOSS

Baltimore -14.0 vs Arizona - Arizona got up 24-3 late in the second quarter. Baltimore rallied to win 30-27 LOSS

New York G Men -10.5 vs Miami - Miami got up 14-3 midway through the second quarter. Giants rallied to win 20-17 LOSS

New Orleans -14.0 @ St Louis -. St Louis ran out to a 24-0 lead late into the third quarter. This time there was no rally - just a plain old 31-21 LOSS

But all was not lost - as I was in the stands cheering GT on to a 31-17 win over previously unbeaten Clemson. Bobby Dodd stadium was electric as they won another night game over a ranked opponent. I was rooting against Clemson despite the MinMega on the TIgers (better known as a diversification bet)  - and I was really coming on strong as the Bees held on late to preserve the under - run that ball!!

The Michigan State Miracle!!

MSU went with the Hail Mary play called Rocket to pull out a miracle. Maybe the best ending for an MSU game ever. Right up there with the last second win over Michigan (thanks Spartan Bob) back in 2001. And if you can't get enough of the play here it is Rocket Man

Johnny E called the next day to congratulate the Doofus. He's looking forward to a rematch in Indy in the inaugural Big Ten Championship game. Same here. Get by the Huskers this week and our ticket is all but punched.

The Big Book of Guesses had an OK week going 39-35-1 including a great 10-2 on the over/unders (of course the only two I missed were the ones on the parlay - that's what kind of week it was) But apparently I used up all my luck on the Rocket play as the Mega Bets went 1-4 as:
Week 8 Mega Bets Recap:
West Virginia -14.0 @ Syracuse: The last time I was in the Carrier Dome - A pathetic Syracuse squad upset a 12 point favorite Louisville team. Should have known better than to bet against the Orange on a Friday night in the dome. Syracuse's defense put constant pressure on WVU's QB Geno Smith and the Orange running game pounded away. WVU tried to make a game of it getting a TD midway through the 2nd quarter. But Syracuse took the kick off return to the house and the rout was on. Final score Big Orange 49 Moonshiners 23 LOSS

Arkansas -15.5 @ Mississippi - Tough to cover 15.5 when you get down 17 points. With Arkansas sleep walking - Ole Miss got out ahead 17-0 with 6 minutes left in the first half. Arkansas then awoke scoring 29 straight points. Looking like I might get my cover after all - Ole Miss went on a 5 minute drive to close the score to 29-24 with 1:23 left to seal the cover. To rub it in - Ole Miss recovered the onside kick but threw a game killing pick with 0:32 left. With the loss, the Rebs set a new record for SEC futility by losing 10 straight conference games. Final Hawgs 29 Lil Miss 24 LOSS
