And you have to bet the UK and UL games this week...what are your wagers???...i got 500 on Cats and over 500 on Auburn and under
 
I like the over on the auburn game, no way on the UK game.

UK probably covers 17, but I'd call the -10 for Auburn a toss up.

These arn't good games imo...maybe the under for the UK game.
 
Since quite a number of stocks have dropped recently, I'd dump my $ into one of those.
 
All 2k on UK is the "safest" play. I don't feel good about anything in the AU game, and O/U in a game against a team like ULL is a crapshoot because it depends on how soon we may pull the starters.
 
$1500 over 59 UK / ULL
$500 over 56 UL / Auburn

I do not consider it blowing it, more like a risky investment.

Take my 2k winnings, let it ride on Notre Dame -9.
 
Do some people miss the YOU HAVE TO BET THE UK AND UL games ? So you can not put it ALL on UK. And people saying they would not bet the over in the UK game, I think UK scores 35-40. They will give up some points, I am not going to pretend we are completely legit on d. Quick strikes means lots of time for scores, this will be a track meet. UK may even make a statement and cover most of the over by themselves. IF they drop 42-45, over is a lock. With ULL's suspect defense and UK's suspect defense,(our run stop is a huge worry) over is the only play.
 
No way would I bet UK -17. Sorry, I just don't see it. I'll be happy with a 7 point win and move on to South Carolina.

To answer the OP's question, I'd bet $500 on UL to cover 10.5 (I think it will be a close game) and I'd bet $1,500 on UL to cover 17 points.

I won't bet on the above, b/c I refuse to root for UL and I refuse to bet on UK, but that's what I'd do if i was an impartial bettor.

The one caution I would have about betting on UL to cover against Auburn is that Petrino just doesn't lose easily. If he's down 6 points late in the game and deep in his own territory, he's going to be sending several receivers out into the pattern and throwing the ball with reckless abandon to try to win the game. Which could easily result in a 13 point loss instead of 6.
 
In real life I have $10 on under on the Cats game and $10 on Auburn to cover-- in this fantasy I would put $990on UKs under and $10 on Auburn against the spread!
