IT’S AN OPEN THREAD, and WEEKEND OOT…

5/8 last week, 30/55…1400/1000 overall. We’ve made 40% and are beating the market. This is tough to do with Trump as President. I’ve made 35% this year in my 403b. Of course, I have some very aggressive funds given that my horizon is…now just…20 years. I’m old. 😉

It is Championship Week!

Friday Night:

#5 Utah v. #13 Oregon 8:00 PM….PAC12 Championship…The Ducks were overrated again this year and no one saw the Utes making it this far. Utah has a hell of a QB and are 6.5 point favorites. I think that O’s O might be up to this challenge…their defense might not be tho…Utes beat the spread. This will be a great game.

Saturday:

#7 Baylor v. #6 Oklahoma 12:00 PM…Big12 Championship…In this rematch, OU is giving 9. I just can’t see Baylor not covering, the Bears only lost by 3 a few weeks ago.

#20 Cincinnati v. #17 Memphis 3:30 PM…AAC Championship…This is another rematch where the winner of the last game is giving nearly the same spread that they won by. Cinci is getting 9.5 and beats the spread. If yinz like track meets, this one is for yinz!

#4 Georgia v. #2 LSU 4:00 PM in Hot’lanta: ‘Bama is out because Nick Saban made a YUGE mistake, mark that one down as he doesn’t make many. This just proves that he is mortal. It’s LSU, Ohio State, and Clemson left with the real shots to win. OSU won’t be able to hang with either Clemson or LSU. LSU is giving 7 to the Bulldogs and cover. Its LSU’s national championship to lose at this point.

#23 Virginia v #3 Clemson 7:30 PM…ACC Championship, Yeah right, I think Clemson is giving 30…I ain’t betting on this. Clemson’s starters will be out by the second quarter.

#1 Ohio State v. #8 Wisconsin 8:00 PM…Big10/11 Championship…yeah, Land-grant Schools can’t count. They are really good at farming, veterinary science, and meteorology tho…REALLY GOOD….OSU stomped a mud-hole in M’s face last week. The line was 14.5 last time W met and OSU won by 31. The line is 15.5 this time. This time, OSU might sit their starters after the game is in the bag. OSU doesn’t cover. They really don’t have to. They are in with a win. Nah, they beat the spread.///I’m really on the fence over this one…

OK…W covers.
