I like the Over in Alabama/Duke, which is currently at 58.

Alabama is favored by 24- which is a lot for any team, on the road, versus another team that has shown they can put up points. Shouldn't be a problem, but it will be interesting to see how Ingram looks on Saturday.

But, yeah, play the over.

Teaser bets are for succers... but you could tease the Alabama point spread down
and raise the over. With a healthy Ingram there will be plenty of the running game
from Bama. So the total might not be as high as that. Plus Bama has class and they
usually don't run the score up.

Bama 34 Duke 3.

Alabama may have class, but Nick Saban doesn't.

(58 points at halftime. I still got it )

You got your points by halftime!

And believe it or not I agree with
you about Saban. I didn't like him
with the Dolphins. But he knows how
to win at the college level.

LukeA is buying everyone a round.

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

OK, I would take that advice, it sounds informed! Play the over.
Can one also play 'the under'? Play 'the sideways'?
Does the 'over' have anything to do with being in overtime?
My GUESS is that 'playing the over' might mean betting on the team who is not favored and have been 'given points' in their odds to win the game?
No?
Well, obviously I need to lay low if at all in this thread, though maybe I can learn a little bit before I turn 100. "Play the over".... what the hail does that mean??
And yes, after this 2nd message here, I will lurk and leave it to those of you who know what each other is talking about, I promise.

The over, if you bet it you would be betting that the teams combined
score would go over a certain amount set by sweet guys called bookies, or
odds-makers.

Parlay or Teasers is a bet on the total score of both teams and taking
the over or under and then picking a team that has to win by
a certain amount of points set by odds-makers. Note that picking the favored
team you have to lay points. Picking the underdog (not the cartoon) you
recieve points. And since you are really making two bets, you get to tease
the bet by a few points on the total and the getting/giving points line.

Don't forget to figure in the Juice.

And even though I feel I'm being set-up...
Bama is just short for Alabama and
many people just call the football team Bama.
But if you're a yankee you are required to use
the following words at all times when referring
to the greatest college football team of all time.
And those words are...
The Alabama Crimson Tide or
The Crimson Tide Of Alabama.
