Informed Speculation With Financial Resources Vol 9, by Benjamin Harris, MS, JD

First Rule! Have fun. Let’s get on my lads. Home teams first.

A nickel on East Lansing Spartak getting 4.5 at home to Meeshagan.

Should I play O-24 Colorado?...Man, that's a lot of pernts. Gonna check both teams shedsules agayne.  Une momento...The only game O has played where they would have covered 24 is STONY BROOK. "Bisons" have gotten blown out this season: 23 at Cal, 23 at home to USC, 22 at Arizona State, 30 at home to Minnehaha! Obviously Oregon's better than any of those teams. Except for the Texas A&M game "Buffs" have either gotten blown out or been blown out. Won by 28 over NoCo, by 34 over Arizona. That's weird. 

I have to decide if I have an abiding conviction that CU is going to keep this under 23. Oregon has only beaten Stony Brook by 24+! Is Arizona worse than CU? O beat them 22 in Eugene, "Buffs" beat 'em by 34 in Boulder. Christ, O only beat Fresno by 7. I'm looking for a beat down by Oregon and it's not there. Lord...Benjamin, do you have an abiding conviction?...I'm THINKING!...No, I don't. Not yet anyway. Pass for now. I want to see how many, if any, other games I'm going to play...WAIT! There is a bit of conflict in the standards. "Abiding conviction" is one. But"belief" is the other. Belief, "feel." Do I believe? Yes, I do. Pass for now and I will sort out.

Five on Kansas getting 30.5 in Stillwater.

Five on ND to cover -3.5 home to North Carolina.

Okay, that's it. I still don't have an abiding conviction on O-CU but I'm going to go with the belief standard and on that standard I'm going to put a nickel on CU.
