Jackal - I'm fairly literate with Excel spreadsheets and trying to come up with my own passed on this very great system in this thread, but totally clueless on how to incorporate the automic update feature. Any chance you can share some knowledge on that, including where you get the updates from? If this is too much to ask, just say the word and I understand. Thanks to you, Samy and the Ace for everything!

Typo- should have been "based" and not "passed". So much for being literate! Thanks!

this is from Jackal...gets the data from sports.com and statfox.com
"to update the spreadsheet automatically everytime you open the sheet go to (you have to do this for each tab that imports data):
Data > Import External Data > Data Range Properties
Then check the box that says 'Refresh data on file open'"
10-0 Huskies at the half. These teams are terrible!
edit: HAHA announcer just said "I don't care which one, just somebody please get in the endzone"
its horrible, but i love a good train wreck. i even took the second half also. 22.5 is more than the expected value for the whole game
my two big plays on totals was form the other thread

$600.00 Pittsburgh (+5.5) over Cincinnati (7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 22)
I like getting the points here in a game that should see two teams bashing heads. I think the weather is going to be a factor here and even though it looks like a lot of the public is pushing the number on the Bearcats I think we have the team that is better as a very strong underdog. Pitt has covered four of five overall and are 5-1 ATS on the road.
$400.00 #123 Boston College (+2) over Wake Forest (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 22)
The Eagles were playing at a very high level in Florida State last weekend and I think they keep it rolling against a shaky Wake Forest team.
$300.00 #175 Oregon State (+2.5) over Arizona (7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 22)
I know that everyone expects Arizona to spring the big upset in this spot but I don't think that Willie Tuitama has it in him. Arizona is perpetually overrated and I will take Mike Riley over Mike Stoops any day of the week.
$500.00‘Under’ 37.5 Tennessee at Vanderbilt (12:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 22)
I think that the Tennessee defense will be able to slow down the Vanderbilt rushing attack, which has been nowhere near as effective in the last month as it was earlier in the year. Prior to last week's 31-point "outburst" the Commodores had scored 14 or less points in five straight games. Tennessee is starting a freshman quarterback, on the road, against a pretty good defense. And on top of that the Vols are 20-8 for the 'under' in their last 28 games.
$1000.00 #139 Arkansas (-1) over Mississippi State (2:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 22)
I don't think that Sylvester Croom has any control or attention over his team. And I just don't think that MSU is very good. They have only beaten two D-I teams this year, Middle Tennessee State and Vandy at home. Arkansas has won nine straight in this series and have been playing very well after some early season blowouts.
$800.00 ‘Under’ 53.0 Stanford at California (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 22)
Cal's defense is much better than it is given credit for and I think it will slow down a Stanford offense that is going to want to milk the clock. There has not been more than 50 points scored in this rivalry since back in 2001 and the 'under' is 10-3 in Cal's last 13 November games. Stanford is also 3-8 against the total on turf and after three straight games going 'over' I think the oddsmakers have sent this number too far the other way.

tenn when under20-10 final! and Stanford is well on its way to be the other under easy...that's the one that all 3 match...score now is 17-3 in the 3rd Q.....+$1300 will pay for my time doing all the e-mails this week getting this together with the 3 of us...goojob guys:toast:AA
