none of us expect you to be in the running for the championship, anyways. This just gives you an early excuse (a la finch and stubbs circa 2008)

I guess Sully meant that HE had to get HIS picks in today...I thought he was saying that all the picks had to be locked in by today.

The reason I voted against the spread is because it changes during the week and DOESN'T lock in when you pick. This cost me last year. If I pick Aggie +14 on Tuesday and the spread changes to Aggie +12 on Friday, I get screwed if Aggie loses 20-7. |

Yeah the spread seems pretty stupid to me. I like to pick winners, not losers who don't lose by what is expected of them to lose by.....or something like that. I don't live in Vegas so the spread can suck it. I apologize Mike I've been in rehab for a couple weeks, I couldn't get your back soon enough on this one.

We both know that if rehab didn't stick the first 4 times, it probably won't work this time. Accept your fate, son. |

Just wait till Friday then, problem solved. I don't always have time to monitor the line on a daily basis. If a take Aggie +14 then I should get Aggie +14. |

I wouldn't take the Ags +14. Take the favorite.
The spread isn't designed to be how much a team will lose by. Its designed to get the most people to bet. That is why I don't like it.

oh c'mon, coach! Aggie should be undefeated when they ride into Arlington to face the underhogs. We'll have at LEAST two losses.

I thought that was the game you were talking about. Right now, I'll take the Hogs -14.

No, I was just using Aggie as an example. Aggie should be at least 7 point favorites against Hog, since it is basically a home game for them.
Add to that the Aggies have a returning QB that beat out a QB that now plays for the Dallas Cowboys, while Arkansas has a guy that hasn't played in 2 years making his first start. A&M with 50,000 students is almost 3 times as large as the public university of one of the poorest states in the country. Arkansas' chances are slim to none, if you ask me.
