    Anyone know the o/u on Rangers-Oilers? It was 1-0 Rangers after one and 4-1 Oilers midway thru the third before they hung on for a 4-3 win after the Rangers scored in the last second. If it was 6.5, that's some funny shit. Unless you had the under.

    Vegas Insider does have it at 6.5. Your local odds may vary.

    If you parlay all three, it's +192 on DK. Boosted to +231 with a promo. I'll give it whirl.

    We do have Dallas at Nashville tonight so curious to see how that’ll play out.

    It’s this afternoon, and it’s 0-0 after one. If you need a sure thing to miss, just have me bet it.

    Dumpster diving yields a Christmas miracle! And presents! :D (It's just pizza money but still fun)

    Ugh.
    I really liked Troy (-7.5) this morning figuring it was a de facto home game, they were excited to be there, and Duke was playing with a backup QB — all the ingredients you look for in these kinds of games.
    I really liked South Alabama vs. Eastern Michigan tonight for a lot of the same reasons — playing in its home stadium, against a reasonably shitty team, and fired up for a celebration. Only the big point spread (-16.5) scared me off so I stayed away and bet on Troy instead.

    OK, looking for thoughts, non-binding advice, etc.

    I have a four-teamer for college bowls and have hit the first three. Game 4 is Tuesday (Bowling Green-Minnesota).

    I picked all dogs, so my $5 bet would pay $525 if BG wins.

    Normally, not someone who hedges, because I follow the gambling commandments of the Wizard of Odds (Thou shall not hedge), but thinking about it.

    Adding intrigue, it's part of a contest on the online app I'm on for college bowl season. The 20 players who hit the bets with the longest odds win a share of 10K (4K for first).

    There are a lot of games (and bets) left to go, but this would put me well in front. Of course, I have no idea what others have bet or will hit.

    Would you? If so, how much. For the record, MN is -189.

    Loss, win, win.

    I was a little worried with the two of them in the same game. :(
