Record for the season: 10 Wins and 6 Losses

This week's games: Note it was tough to pick games this week as nothing stood out so bet real money at your own risk.

Baylor @ KSU -1 - Baylor had a big win Saturday but they are headed into one of the most underrated tough places to play in college football which is Manhattan, Kansas. The Wildcats aren't lying down for anyone and Baylor is floating in on a high. Take Kansas State and the point.

Kansas vs TCU -21.5 - Which Kansas is going to show up? Does Jerry Kill have TCU finally on the right path? These are the questions but I think Kansas now has a bad case of the "I believe's" and TCU might very well overlook the Jayhawks. The truth is from here on out every game is Kansas' bowl game because they can't get bowl eligible so expect to see them put everything on the table. Take Kansas and the points as this might be the safest bet on the table.

Cal vs Stanford +3.5 - This is a weird game but Cal literally has everything going against them. Their QB is coming off an injury, they haven't been able to regular practice because of COVID and it's being reported that some of their starting O-line will still be in quarantine. Stanford is not a good team but neither is Cal however Stanford is at home and that should be worth 4 points in this situation. Take Stanford and give up the points.

Get Rich mofos as we literally have a 62.5% winning percentage going on here and if everyone that has believed in my picks has a stack of cheddar in the bank account. Make it rain bitches!
 
Ohio State as a 19 point favorite is going to cover with ease. It’s s the #1 passing offense going against the #130 passing defense. They might cover the O/U on their own.

I haven’t gotten into overs yet. Trying to just dial in point spreads.

Rutgers is a 17 point dog at PSU.

Take the points and win some cash because freaking Rutgers might win outright.

I can’t bet on Rutgers. I just can’t.

Purdue wrecked Michigan State through the air
Ohio State may need to have oxygen on the sidelines their wide receivers are going to be running so far

In all my travels, Atlantic City is the worst place I've ever visited. Spent a week there back in 2003.

That's WITH a Hilton room facing the ocean and overlooking the boardwalk. Service has got to be bad to override that, and it was.

Thankfully it was on someone else's dime (per diem).

I've never been to AC, I can imagine it's nasty. The shore points I visit are further north: Ocean Grove, Bradley Beach, Asbury Park, Belmar. No high rises, lots of small rentals just a block or two from the beach and boardwalks. A lot more family friendly.

I'm a 5 hour drive to the Gulf Coast with the best powder white sand beaches in the country and multiple places I can stay for free (if I time it right). If I've got time off it ain't going to be spent on "the shore" in NJ. To be honest, now a boat has to be involved or I'm not interested.

My work was mainly in a small town called Elwood about 25 miles NW of Atlantic City.

Once I got out of Atlantic City it felt like home. Farm land and farmers selling produce out of the back of their pickups.


In Atlantic City the service was terrible. It's like nobody was motivated for tips like you get in Vegas.
I flew into Philly, rented a car, and drove to Atlantic City. Upon my arrival I pulled up to the Hilton valet and there were 6 valets standing in a group talking to each other. I waited a good 10 minutes in my car as they'd occasionally look over at me.
I finally got out of my car and walked over to inquire if someone was gonna park my car? They all looked at each other like "Who has to do this". Finally one them agreed to do it.
I then had the issue of getting a porter for my luggage. That took another 10 - 15 minutes. That is at a Hilton.
Being there a week I learned that there is little motivation to go above and beyond because they're guaranteed New Yorker tourists.
Of the peeps (visitors) I'd chat with, they were all from New York and Atlantic City was the only vacation they took every year. They'd never been to Vegas so they wouldn't know any better regarding quality of service.
I had this image in my head of walking down the boardwalk and getting drinks from stands. Nope!! If you wanted a drink you had to go into a casino to get it and drink it there.
The boardwalk consisted of Palm Reader, Massage place, T-Shirt shop, Palm Reader, Massage place, T-Shirt shop, Palm Reader, Massage place, T-Shirt shop, Palm Reader, Massage place, T-Shirt shop. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. Miles of that shit.
About every 100 steps or so a late teen/early 20's dude would ask me if I wanted a ride in a cart that they push. If you walk a mile you're asked 50 times. They were the only one's that seemed motivated.
The Hilton room was nice and the ocean view was great, but that's about it. I'm not one to sit in my room staring out the window all day.

I spent a lot of time between Gulf Shores, AL and Panama City, FL

Loved it.

Fort Morgan Road down in Gulf Shores, AL used to be the best kept secret on the coast but the word has gotten out. About 20 years ago a couple of friends and I almost bought a house in a beach neighborhood for about 250K. Two of us were in and one wasn't and we just didn't have the juice to only do it with the two us at the time. That house would sell easily for 600K today and I regret we didn't do it.
