I'll take the Cincinnati cover but I don't feel great about it.

[We R Final Four]

Yeah...take that one. 1st (well really 2nd) and goal from the 9....

Sneaky great value live bet. Bills started their 4th drive at their own 11. They've been unstoppable on offense tonight.

DK live flash prop of Buffalo fourth drive to cross the 50 was +130, or to cross NE 35 at +155.

Both won, took all of 2 plays.

Watch for it in the early/mid third quarter. Bills aren't going to pump the brakes in the third. Key to the value on this bet is crummy starting field position.

Wins this weekend - Bonnies, Fresno State, Bengals, NIU, TCU live ML, MU, Bills barring a huge collapse, James Madison live +8

Losses - Bucks live ML, Richmond, Baylor live +6.5 (ouch), SHU live ML vs. DePaul

Tomorrow I think I like Dallas. Staying away from the other two

Good call.

Bills to cross 20 is +110 this drive.

I did end up going with Dallas -3. Public and sharps seem to be on SF, and I understand why, but SF's secondary can be exploited and Dallas has the weapons to exploit them.

How does everyone feel about TB-PHI? I want to believe that PHI has a chance but I'm not sure I see a reasonable path to victory outside of fluking into some turnover luck.

If you believe Minshew is coming in, Hurts live under totals are quite tempting.

[PGsHeroes32]

Iowa over Minny got dicey. Only bball pick for the day.

Take cowboys -3 but dont feel super confident on it.

I severely underestimated McCarthy's ineptitude.

I severely underestimated McCarthy's ineptitude.

That's a mistake.

[DegenerateDish]

I jumped off my couch and gave a loud "YES!!!".

[We R Final Four]

Wow—that's awesome.

[MU82]

That's cool, Dish.

Really took a lot of guts to bet $10K on that!

Since IL recently allowed for wagering on head coaching futures, it's quite interesting shopping at different books.

As an example, Eberflus is now the betting favorite on DK at +200 to become the Jags next coach.

Over on PointsBet, he's at +900 to become the next Jags coach (far from the favorite Bill O'Brien at +250. I'm always looking for value, so I put money down on Eberflus at PB. I have no idea who will be the next coach in JAX, but too much of a discrepancy in odds to ignore.

If I visited Illinois for the weekend, would I be able to download DK or FD and then use the app once I returned back to Wisconsin?

Or do the apps use current location?

You must be in the state with the app.

All apps are geolocated.  And the few that let you bet through a site and not an app, use a separate method of doing so.  You can download the apps wherever, make wherever your home address, you just can't bet unless you're properly located.  I know people in NYC who literally drive across the bridge into NJ, park, place bets for the day or weekend, and drive back.

I heard the same and things will probably change as NYC went live with sports betting on Jan 1.

Bama got a key win for themselves last night

For bettors -4 like myself? We saw exactly why they have been such a disappointment.

Boy did they do literally everything wrong in the final minutes to lose what should have been a no sweat cover

Had Bama at -3.5. Very annoying.

Luckily had TCU +5 and DPU +8.5 too.

I do like MSU +4 tonight but betting against UW is something I don't like to do, so I'll likely stay away.

I think Ohio live spread +10.5 is good value. Putting a medium sized wager on that one.

Joey Hauser has never lost at the Kohl Hole

That's funny, I almost played that Ohio live line too (my phone rang and then I forgot).

Hope it hits for you.

Xavier transfer Jason Carter just went down with a nasty knee injury. Didn't look bad when it happened but seemed to be in severe pain if any weight was put on it. Carried off.
