On a Monday, you know the drill.
From the “Talks too much” studios, pull up a chair.
Weekend winners (there are a bunch – and we have more on the SEC later)
Vegas. More than 80 percent of all wagers had Denver, Atlanta and Green Bay covering the spreads as road favorites Sunday. Each lost out right. As of 11 a.m. Sunday morning the only NFL Sunday afternoon games Vegas lost (meaning there was more than 50 percent of the public’s money bet on the winning side) were the Patriots (-14), Bills (-4), and the Giants (-2.5). Enjoy those free drinks Mr. Underhill.
Fab 4 (plus 3) picks. Back in the entertainment saddle. We went 5-2, hitting Mississippi State, Tulsa, under in the Florida-Vandy game, and Marshall plus 3.5 (valuable lesson in buying the half people). We also had Navy plus 8 as the Midshipmen drilled everyone’s darling Memphis. We got betrayed by BYU (new rule, never take the Cougars in games that start after 10 Eastern, they normally are in bed by then) and our other loss was Michigan State, which got hosed.
