Home Forums Sports Picks Central Bet The House POD 1/3/03

CFB OH St +13 -140
Olympic

Dawg2 kicks us off with his version of POD.<p>If anyone wants a customized title under there name, simply e-mail me. Nothing derogatory of course. I will say from time to time I will dub names for people. <p>See Seavike for example...<p>If it is deserving, you get it from me. Just my way of saying great job !!!<p>Good luck folks and let's see some reasons behind those POD's. <p>I probably won't see the picks, look for me at the Fiesta Bowl, I will be there.

Pittsburgh -.5 -1.2<p>Another great line. Atlanta playing back to back, against a decent team.<p>Pittsburgh's road record is abismal, however I see that most b2b games for atlanta have seen them give up more than a few goals than the previous ones.<p>Pittsburgh's got the offense to make this a second blowout in a row. Might want to take a look at the over here too.

Cappers went 8-7 for -1.6 units

nba<p>toronto -2 over cleveland<p>toronto needs a win and what a better time than at home vs cleveland who only has one win on the road this year.

Team to have the first power play in the game Anaheim Mighty Ducks (-115) (Olympic)

NCAA Football<p>Once again the public or squares are all over Ohio State.
Personally I am not Impressed with Ohio State. Miami Is the superior team here.
Ohio State squeaked by for most of their wins this season, where miami blew away most of their competition.
Miami In a blowout guys.<p>Miami..........(-11.5)<p> [img]images/icons/cool.gif" border="0[/img]

Lets keep it on the ice for the POD.<p>Boston @ NYI. POD is on the Islanders on the moneyline @ -103. <p>Is there a better goalie in the league right now than Osgood? And with Boston struggling as of late I'll take this play at almost even money. <p>Good luck tonight everyone.<p>SeaVike [img]images/icons/cool.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Going to also place a small wager on Miami (-11). I'll keep my eye on this line, maybe it will drop a bit more. Dorsey will have a strong game tonight against a weak Buckeye secondary(ranked 89th in the country)...opening up the running game as well as the night wears on...as long as the Canes can somewhat contain the Ohio St. running game, Miami will not be stopped.

NBA
Clv/Toronto under 192.5 @WagerStreet

Ohio St +11

NCAA Football<p>Miami -11'

Miami -11
Under 48.5<p>Parlay it, tease it, play it straight up, play it anyway you can think of. For the purpose of the POD, it is a parlay. <p>The only philosophy you need to have to understand that this is an easy winner is last night's game. It has nothing to do with the Big 10 or any other cornball way of comparing the teams and their respective divisions. It is all about the style of play and the talent of the teams. <p>Miami is faster and better skilled. They are explosive offensively and have a strong defense. They have all the skills of a USC and then some. OSU is just like Iowa. They have a strong running back, a QB that is efficient and doesn't make mistakes. They have a defense that is superb against the run, and adequate against the pass.<p>The bottom line is big games are won by play makers. The old style football of time possession and defense doesn't win championships anymore. Will OSU have some success on the ground? Yes I am sure they will. But when they end up in 3rd and 6+, how often will the convert? They won't. Will it matter that Ohio St will pin them deep with their great punting? Did it matter that USC started from within their 20 3 straight drives and scored TD's?<p>I could ramble on some more, but I won't. Final score 34-13, 27-10, or maybe even a Tennesse like domination of 26-3.<p>Good luck!

NCAA.. College Hoops.<p>
Weber State +13<p>Everyone in Utah on this game! Weber revenge, and Utah letdown for Alabama shocker.

Miami Fla -11.5

NBA<p>Indiana Pacers -3' (NASA)

OSU ML +380 @ cassablanca<p>the squares gotta eat too. After watching at least five blowouts in a row where the favorite dominated I beleive we need a live dog, vegas needs a live dog, we GOT a live dog right in front of us....<p>Taking a 13-0 team to win a single game is NOT that much of a stretch to the imagination. <p>Ohio State gets the National Championship after a 34 year wait.<p>I'll take "david" to overcome "galiath".<p>Ohio State's young guns once again overcome adversity and the nah-sayers.<p>Defense wins this one.
OSU has the better D, the Heisman folks will be saying "see we got it right" LOL<p>Enjoy.

Philadelphia Flyers
