Nice pick on the first quarter. It was close, as Buckeyes scored right away in the 2nd. A win is a win!

I'm probably on an island but I tailed Steve's 1Q under, 1st half under and then laddered Buckeyes from -7 to -16.5. I'm sure Steve would approve :)

[OCKillz]

I would appreciate more NBa videos! Thank you!

[davidallison]

Great call on sneaky way to play under with 1q. An 18 play drive always helps lol

[sunshinewaterandwoods]

Money.

I have ohio over 27.5
And ive had a ohio ticket for 4 weeks

My mom went to Notre Dame. N there tuff. Imma put 50$ +300 if I lose I lose. No big deal.b

Good gutsy call Steve on 1stQ under but it was close. I did the -8.5 … I thought it was a safe bet after the Shoot ND was only behind by 8! If OSU was coached by Andy Reid then they punt and not throw to Smith for 57 yards to the 10 yard line! It ended the only way possible for me to get the -8.5.

[jonloffie]

Sorry Steve but my site only offers the first quarter at 9 which sucks. First half is 23. Will consider it. Loved the 10 pt first quarter.

[charliegarcia]

I like notre dame Win ease thanks Steve

[TIJISPAPAW]

I parlayed the Buckeyes over 6.5 points first quarter, over 13.5 first half, and over 27.5 for the full game

[giovanniscarimbolo]

I like if you do some College and NBA games throughout the week

[brenthenderson]

Steve I can only get -9.5 in the first quarter or juice it up to 12.5 for -214
the half I can get 22.5 or juice it up to 25.5 for
-205 there is a profit boost if I were to do the
-12.5, -25.5, and -6.5 spread for +194 boosted to +258
Or I could just leave it to
Under 9.5 first quarter
Ohio state -6.5
Under 22.5 for +375 booster up to +499
I hit on your last Ohio state play love the videos thank you for making them please let me know

[davidtokarski]

Steve1st 9.5 and half 22.5, no 10s or 23. Thanks steve

[reidbrian]

No site, person, or robot taking ND. Very interesting..and scary

[Jridda]

I dont have props but im throwing 50 on notre dame just because in think they pull an upset if i lose i lose gamble what u can afford to lose good luck to everyone.

[WilburKing-ym]

The 12 was about as perfect as you can get...they would had gave us Oregon and Georgia...

[George-pwmd]

Under 22.5 first half still an ok call?
