Season starts again tomorrow 
I have emailed bf as they have no match markets up on the exchange but have a lot up on the sportsbook. I'd appreciate it if you can join me in getting them on the ball.

Why are espn or bt not showing the lsu - wisconsin game from lambeau?
Houston we don't have a problem - sooners down 16 against Houston 
love it. Hoping they can see the game out and we'll have an early big mix up in the rankings.

Wow OK State! and Georgia squeak by 2 pts as massive faves - been a really interesting start to the season, especially with my longhorns not being such losers
Hank, you and dirk should post us your naps for the weekend. You two follow it and know your stuff. I like a bet on it if there is nothing else going on but know zilch about the players. It`s them basketball shoot outs that puts me off.
This is probably the kiss of death as I haven't put any picks up yet, but I really like Utah at home tonight v USC. Admittedly the USC defeats were against bama and Stanford. No embarrassment losing to those 2 sides. However, there is push back against the new coach who many thought would smooth over the latest crises at USC. QB Browne is losing his place tonight and Darnold steps in. A bold move away at a divisional rival with a great defence. For me, this isn't the place to be swapping your QB and I have taken Utah at 1.75. A low scorer imo tonight and if pushed would have the unders too,but will stick to the home side.
Nobody beats the vols 12 times in a row! well, surely with Del Rio out and being at home, Tenn are surely going to end the streak. Impressed with Wisconsin putting the beatdown on MSU who I rate. I think that shows Wisconsin's defeat of LSU was for real. Not a great deal stands out for me today, but I do like Houston to cover against Tx State later.
Duke looking good in South Bend 
Do they realise this is football and not basketball?

Aftertiming here,but the sportsbook was kind enough to offer up Tenn +14.5 2h
hmmm I don't like the Duke result as it makes the longhorns win over ND less decent 
Clemson v Louisvile best game seen this season thus far including the NFL. Brilliant viewing.
This is the game I look forward to most now there is no longhorn and Aggies match. The Red River game is here - Texas v Oklahoma. Like a football derby form often goes out the window here - as happened last year with a shock longhorn win. At the end of the season the longhorns missed out on a bowl but the Sooners made the playoffs. Well, I think the shock is on again this year and I have had to back my team at 5s. Personally I price them in the 3.3-3.5 range so it's an easy bet for me, but I am biased lol
For those that don't know, the game is played in Dallas and the tickets split 50/50, so no home advantage. Both teams have been putting up large numbers offensively but also conceding a shedload. Especially my longhorns who have given up an incredible 99 points in the last 2 games. Now, you may wonder why I can back a team that has done that! My reasons are as stated earlier this match can often go against form, the head coach Charlie Strong is fighting for his job and has fired the DC and is taking over defensive plays himself - which as a defensive minded coach I am hoping that might plug some of the holes in the defense that has been shredded. DE Walker and LB Johnson are going to be missing. A headache the Oklahoma defense could do without.
My final point is unlike last year the Texas offense is much more balanced - after so many busts since the McCoy days UT now has a legitimate QB in Shane Buechele and combine that with the running ability of Swoopes as a dual threat QB tandem. Now, after all that, it's possible that Oklahoma still shred the porous Texas defense and our special teams mishaps continue. However at 5s I think it is a great bet and I have max bet 3 points on it.
Other matches that have caught my eye are Indiana to cover the hcap against OSU (+29.5) and Texas State to cover against Georgia State (+10.5)

Great write up mate. Good luck. On the Tar Heels this week, getting better and better all the time. No longer just a basketball school. Like the overs in that game as well.
Has Betfair really put up an Alabama PLUS 14.5 market

Was going great there - then they give up the usual huge play 
14-10 sooners

Down 14-13 at ht. Some encouraging signs here at least.
1st half d out of the window - both defences back to type now
Hmmm all the good work of the 1st half has been undone. This is probably the worst defence I have watched in 16 years of following the longhorns. It appears that the defence is going to be unfixable this season. Not sure Strong is making it through the season.
5 point loss - so close at getting a turnover in the end if anyone followed me in we had a good run with the 5s

UNC getting pounded 
Navy putting Houston out of playoff reckoning.

Yeah, just noticed that - that really is a shame as I think they had the potential this year, but shot themselves in the foot just like last year - on a bright note we might get their coach now 
Funny old game this - Texas St were looking nice for the hcap early on 14-0 up and end up losing 41-21
Great write up Hank. Good to read your thoughts on the games.
rhino - what you got today? I like Wisconsin at home with 10.5 pts for sure. Possible stormy weather too, so unders could be even more likely.
After Louisville's struggles against Duke, it's now Clemson's turn v NC state - shock brewing here 17-17 and state about to get the ball back. Would really shake up the playoff picture
omfg NC miss last second 33 yd fg to win the game!!! ot here we come!!
Wild wild finish - clemson take it in ot with a td and then int on NC possession - I need a lie down after that lol
A heads up if anyone is looking in - McCaffrey out for Stan v ND. -3.5 looks good at home without the big guy.
Bama putting on a statement for the rest - crushing Tenn 42-10 in what could have been a very tricky road trip
With you on the Badgers Hank, +10 would be a pass, +10.5 is a bet. Camp Randall will be rocking today.
Great comeback win by the Buckeyes but the Badgers safely covered the handicap 
rhino what you on this w/e? also, any lurkers feel free to join in
Going to start the week off with S Fla against Temple. I like S Fla offense and like them to cover by a td. Cincy away is normally a good marker imo for teams and they blew them out 45-20. Bama are a monster of a team again, but I have to take the aggies with the pts. Saban never goes easy on teams and will attempt to run it up, but I have to think that Knight and co can keep it within 18 - remember Knight is one a few QB's to know what it's like to beat bama recently (as a sooner)

Hi Hank, S Florida can move the ball quick but they can`t get it and their defence has been on the field nearly all the first half and can`t stop Temple. They`ll probably win the game but handicap looks in a little bit trouble. HT 20-13 Temple. Florida need to win 2nd half by 14pts which is very possible.
18.5 is plenty of points but no interest in going against Bama, they are a machine. I like Arkansas +10.5 against Auburn and Ohio State to smash Penn St so like the -19.5. Don't think i've ever seen an over/under line set at 87.5, but that is what we got for Oregon vs California
mac SF were fairly abysmal tbh. Yeah, I know what you mean rhino, but I feel the line is generous so am on. Gone for a, late pick - Minn to cover 16.5 v Rutgers. 14 points in their last 4 games! yep that did include OSU and Mich, but 17 pt defeat at home to Illinois does not inspire confidence. On the other hand a narrow defeat for Minn to Iowa and PSU and Minn can put up points.
The line may have seemed high rhino but they are 2 terrible defences. Cal blew a 21 pt lead and missed last 2nd fg for win but got INT in ot - another wild game. I wish NFL would do college OT, it really is far superior.
Longhorns down 21-7 at ht - time is running out for Strong - I think he will be on his way pretty soon
hmm Minn blow 18 pt lead, Rutgers miss pat to tie it and Minn take kickoff to the house - is there a better sport than this?!
fk it - this is embarrassing that Minn have let up so many pts against Rutgers going to top up on A&M
going to top up on A&M
I only started watching college football yesterday.
Watched 3 high scoring games already including the one I'm watching now (utah)

45 points at half time and the total points on the sportsbook was about 70.
Already 35-35 with 8 mins left of the 3rd quarter
19 pts layed out exchange bet for no loss and had some on sportsbook +19.5, but a loss overall. Looking at my first losing w/e of the season

Bad luck on the Aggies Hank. I'd rather get smashed and put of my misery early like what Auburn are doing than go down like that. Bama are just too much, really want someone to knock them off this year but they are a cut above.
holy fack - SMU 38 Hou 14 I get the feeling that sometimes Hou think they can just turn up against these sort of teams. Absolutely crushed them for a decent bowl now

Clemson! damn this is going to shake up the playoffs. I would have liked to see them in the final 4, but they have chanced it a few times already this season with close wins and have been too porous at the back. Michigan and Wash better take care of business now or the playoff spots will be all over the place.

Can someone please explain WTF the Ohio State coach is getting paid for? Some of the worse calls I've ever seen tonite. Has got NO notion of the play clock
I was cursing the OSU kicker! free couple of quid for someone as bf can't be arsed to settle
ESPN somehow think it's more appropriate to broadcast the Miami-Duke game instead of the Iron Bowl
How good was it though Hank
Do you think that was a 1st down?? I hope Michigan still make the playoff, deserve to be there.

hmm it was tough and even though I wanted it to be a 1st I wouldn't have complained if it went the other way tbh. How has your luck been rhino? I have taken some ridiculous hits like Louisville getting destroyed by Hou who can't be bothered half the time
