Oh yes, Aaron Garcia didn't get to the total... short by one... and obviously... don't mention the home teams... I blew that one... and it began with that bullcrap in Vegas two nights ago.

Ah, sorry Roxy... I got back from the game no less than about 40 minutes ago and have just spent the time trying to catch up! The late games tonight...

To be honest with you, LA is on my no bet list. The team has overachieved all season though I think they still suck. Arizona is in no better shape right now, as they have looked pretty crappy all season. There's the distinct possibility of a lot of points being thrown on the board in this one, but the way Bonner played last week, I'd be very leary of such a proposition. If you twisted my wrist and made me give an opinion I'd lean under the 106.5 and on Arizona... because if Az is going to win this game, they're probably going to win it pretty ugly. The Rattlers are known for playing a very slow, methodical brand of football when they're at their best, and seeing what Vegas and San Jose have done this week, it might be just what Arizona needs to get its season righted. If they give it their best effort, this game will be Arizona in the 50s to LA in the 40s. If not, anything could happen, because Kaleo's been lighting up the scoreboard at will.

Force back up 8... 42-34, 8 minutes left in the contest. A GA stop will likely seal a GREAT day for us, despite the crap on the props.

Just some side notes as I wait for more stats to come through the computer here... Here's to my University of Central Florida Golden Knights, the local boys from my hometown who finished their season out strong by beating Gardner-Webb yesterday to put on their dancin' shoes for a second straight year. Last year they covered UPitt... and this year if they're a double digit dog, they'll probably cover whomever the play again with their Princeton style offense... And hats off to Illinois for coming this far without losing before today against the Suckeyes, who just had to ruin it for everyone.

Anyway, I don't cap CBB, but I wanted to make sure my hometown team got on the boards somewhere... and if they pull an upset in the tourney, you heard it here first that they are legit. Wish gametracker didn't just crap out... I'll get back to you when I figure out what's going on...

Good news for Georgia, bad news for under... Force get a net recovery in the end zone... 49-34 Force, Destroyers ball with 6 minutes left in the game... again, a stop here seals it.

Georgia might have just put this one away... 55-41 after a missed PAT with under 2 to go... need a stop for the under and sweep

Never put up a 2nd half line I guess... Wanted the Kats anyway. Philyaw isn't playing. Can't wait to hear this one tomorrow.

Week of some pretty rough breaks. But aside from that, we made a killing on the sides and did alright with the totals as well considering the push with Georgia, though most surely lost... I apologize for that... Props are a different story...

Las Vegas (-3.5) vs. Austin L (-4 units)
Las Vegas/Austin under 101.5 easy W (+2.86 units)

Today...
Over 5.5 home teams to win in week 6 L (-1 unit)
Aaron Garcia +6.5 TD+INT L (-2 units)
Tampa (-7) vs. Grand Rapids W (+4.76 units)
Georgia (-5.5) vs. Columbus W (+3.81 units)
Georgia/Columbus under 103 P (------)

For the week: 3-3... but a killing on units... +4.43 of them... had another three in the positive if not for that last TD in Georgia, but them's the breaks. We were awfully close to a perfect card this weekend short of the props, but we'll be back again with some great lines on Tuesday for sure!

YTD...

Against the opening line: 15-7 (I'm counting the GA under as a win since it was 106.5 though for purposes of the board, I post the numbers currently available when I post)
Against that same closing line: 12-8-1

Sides Record: 9-9 (+3.94 units)
Totals Record: 12-4 (+19.88 units)
Parlays: 1-2 (+0.55 units)
2nd half: 2-3 (-1.87 units)
Teasers: 0-1 (-3 units)
Props: 1-3 (-2.48 units)

Composite Record

YTD: 25-22 (53.2%... still really crappy, but at least above the juice line...)
Net: +17.02 units
