Your reputation is at stake: Daily Best Bet thread

Michigan -.5 (+110)

Michigan's defense has shown up again. I thought Nebraska would create match-up problems with them and stretch it out, not happening. Michigan is up 7 now and will finish up at least 10. Go Blue!

dolphins -3

[FakePatObrien]

SD + 4.5

Public has pushed this number up based on last week's games. Still not sold on Chicago as a top tier team, and Chargers desparately need a win. With ten days to prepare, they keep it close & maybe win outright.

Atlanta -6.5

Atlanta's strong run defense wil bottle up Johnson making Tennessee one dimensional. Relying on Hasselback's arm is something i'm willing to bet against. Plus, Matt Ryan's home record

Minn -1
Line movement
Seems to be the Sharp's side in this matchup. Oakland is a heavy public play at 3-1 in ticket count the way it looks. Move to Minn -2.5 at CRIS.

Buffalo SU at 2.30

Miami historically the past 2 seasons at home have been TERRIBLE and I don't think the past two weeks define the Bills. I see the Bills defense who has been EMBARRASSED the past two weeks stepping it up huge and making plays (especially Jarius Byrd). I think that Fitzpatrick will show up and show Buffalo why he deserved the money. Only things i'm worried about is that the Bills are 2-3 against 3-4 defenses. I think the Bills D-Line shows up and shuts down the hot Reggie Bush.

Bumping this up. Shocked it's been dormant for over a week. Rep points need updating too.

Last I read, there was going to be a "Best Bet 2.0" that was going to require an explanation for each pick. Whoever was updating the points here also said they were going to wait until the new thread was created before updating the reps.

That can be done right now. I'll create one.

Thanks for creating the new thread. Is anyone updating the rep points? And are we carrying over the stats that RyanParrill logged earlier in the thread? Or are we starting fresh?

I'm reviving this old friend from the dead. In doing so, I give you Wisconsin +3 over Purdue.

Good little comeback on the revived thread, no? #crickets #nobodytailed #FML

[lindetrain]

Well done...did you take the DD with your Cavs tonight too?

[ChiefZilla]

I tailed, BTB. And enjoyed watching the second half of that game, too.

Nope, but I did bet 'em first half money line +275 with the over 59 ½ on a parlay. If you want to see how hilarious it was that the over hit, please check the play-by-play.

The perfect storm of luckiness.

I gave you credit on Twitter. Had a lean on Wisconsin but your post helped convince me to pull the trigger. Thanks.

So Money preaches putting 15-20% on dogs but I wonder how he applies that with basketball. I put 20% on Wisconsin ML since it was such a small spread.
