Somebody will be sleeping on the couch (or maybe in the homeless shelter) for a while.

Psst, it's the nation's longest home winning streak for a reason.

No... that was a "Hyde" night. Dr. Jeckyll was the nice (though a little cuckoo) one. Mr. Hyde was the one just a hair shy of Jack the Ripper.

Which brings me to a point... This should be a "Hyde" week, right?

Ruh-roh... Bearcats may be road kill scraped up with a snow shovel and thrown into a pot pie for some tasty f'in' hillbilly suppin'.

If you follow college football, even if you're the biggest homer in the world, your chance of beating the line on a consistent basis is close to nil. OU is 3 and 0 straight up this year but 1 and 2 versus the line. By the end of the year most teams will be even versus the line. After paying the book (usually 10%) for your losses you need to win about 53% of the time.

That's why I bet 8 team parlays, 5 dollars. Pays a grand and you'll hit one every year or two.

Bingo! Parlays are the only way I bet sports. Much smaller upfront money, much bigger payoff when you win.

I don't mind giving a very little money away to win big once in a blue moon and it makes watching the other teams more interesting.

I can find some good one's between CFB and NFL and I missed one by the hook (a half a &*%king point) in week one. :(

Now I understand why some fans take a silly game like CFB so seriously. A bet like that would wipe out half my weekend spending change.

Parley's are homoesque.

$27,500 is a major a-hole kind of bet though.

What a Doosh!

The guy probably subcribes to Pointwise or the Gold Sheet, from which he deduced FSU was a "lock". Anyone who can afford to make a straight up bet that large probably routinely bets (and loses) like that. Those casinos don't stay open because a few busloads of old ladies are playing slots . . .

If I say it's Jeckyll, it's Jeckyll.

QB's have to be calm, almost look bored and quietly carve you up. (Jeckyll)

Hyde Landry Jones is jittery, happy feet, runs toward defenders, throws crossing routes 18 feet high, etc.

* and I hope Hyde Landry Jones goes away for good or he may end up working at 400 Oak St in the same city he's getting ready to play in.
