YTD 76-65-2 +11 Units
Feeling like two face after last weeks performance. I saw the board on the sides plays like the talented Stevie Wonder could not get any winners strung to gether on that side of my picks. On the totals side of picks tho I could do nearly no wrong having picked eight of the ten totals correct. So to recap last week have to start seeing the winners of these games better, but on totals have to stay locked in
Sides YTD 41-41-1
Arkansas (+9.5) vs Mississippi State
This is my line in the sand game. The hogs are nearly 10 point dogs in their first road trip this weekend with the pigs headed to Starkville Mississippi. This line indicates to me that computers and oddsmakers in Vegas do not believe KJ Jefferson will return in time to play saturday morning. Mississippi State is a very good team, but 9.5 points better? I think not I like the hogs to stay within in the number on this one. (I cannot advise y’all in good faith to do this, but I will also be more than likling betting the Hogs on the Moneyline as well.
Michigan (-23) vs Indiana
There is a reason I held off on betting the Wolverines last week.
Playing in Iowa City is never a fun time for opposing Big 10 Teams. Bloomington Indiana however? Michigan comes in and asserts itself early in this one. I would also consider some first qt or first half bets if you are worried about getting backdoored with 23.
Purdue vs Maryland (-3)
Tua’s little brother can move the football the problem at times has been converting into points. At home though I will go with Hell in a shell I just don’t like betting on Purdue and at times I feel it comes back to bite me. Give me the Terps.
TCU vs Kansas (+6.5)
Everything about this line and game screams TCU being the pick. College Gameday on campus at Lawrence the Jayhawks are still undefeated and it is October. TCU coming off beating down the Sooners as well. Sometimes when gambling you got to be loyal to the teams that have been loyal to you. I will ride the Jayhawks another week despite the suits in vegas telling me to take TCU.
Tennessee (-2.5) vs LSU
I have not been right on the Bayou Bengals all year. I had them vs the seminoles then I faded them when they kill Mississippi state. I think this Vols offense just makes to many plays for Jaden Daniels and the Tigers of LSU to keep up in this game.
Texas Tech vs Oklahoma State (-9)
This is a classic Mike Gundy spot. He always has his boys ready for teams not named OU when they come to Stillwater. I would love this bet even more if it were at night, but regardless the Pokes will be absolutely ready in this spot to down the Red Raiders of Lubbock.
Tulsa (-6) vs Navy
Tulsa has had a rough two weeks coming off consecutive losses to both Ole Miss and Cincinnati. They get right on the road vs Navy winning games in these spots are why the golden hurricanes have been a consistent bowl team these last couple of years.
Utah (-3.5) vs UCLA
The Bruins spoiled my Huskies pick last week in an empty Rose Bowl. The Utes have a big look ahead game next week with the Trojans coming to Salt Lake City. Have I learned nothing? I do know this the Utes are a better more physical football team and they need to show me that this Saturday.
Duke vs Georgia Tech (+3.5)
The Yellowjackets got a win last week! Interims coach second week can he get another win this time at home in Atlanta? I vote yes give me Tech.
Ohio State (-27) vs Michigan State
Michigan State is in free fall presently. The Buckeyes are a juggernaut. Those factors are how this becomes a 27 point spread.
Air Force (-10.5) vs Utah State
Been betting alot of Falcons games this year. I like Air Force in this spot, because the aggies basically stole the mountain west from them last year. With the revenge aspect and a lesser Utah State team this year I look for Air Force to put it on them in this one.
JMU (-11.5) vs Arkansas State
The only team the Red Wolves have beat this year is lowly ULM. The Dukes come into Jonesboro this weekend and take care of their business and hit the road staying undefeated.
Coastal Carolina (-13.5) vs ULM
The Warhawks ain’t beat nobody paul and that does not change Saturday.
Texas A&M (+24.5) vs Alabama
I hate them. It is simply too many points though.
Oregon State (-7) vs Stanford
I return to betting on my spunky beavers. A beaver vs a tree. I mean could it be anymore obvious what the play in this one is.
Totals YTD 35-24-1
Arkansas vs Mississippi State (Over 58)
This Arkansas secondary vs Mike Leach hmm I wonder if many points will be scored.
Oklahoma vs Texas (Over 65.5)
Annual Tradition bet. They don’t call it the Red River Shootout for nothing.
TCU vs Kansas (Over 69.5)
I love my Jayhawks this year but oh boy their defense is not good. Match that up with them playing the second best offense in the country with Max Duggan and there will be points in this one.
Tennessee vs LSU (Over 65)
You will know within the first two drives if this bet has the legs to cash.
Texas Tech vs Oklahoma State (Under 68.5)
I think this one will be all State with tech not doing their part to get us to 69 points. Nice.
Utah vs UCLA (Under 64.5)
I think the Utes will hold their heads underwater and not let them up for air in this game.
Washington vs Arizona State (Over 57)
Every Huskies over has hit this year. That continues in the desert 45-14.
Washington State vs USC (Over 66)
The Trojans have scored 40+ everytime they have been in the coliseum so far this season.
Oregon State vs Stanford (Over 56.5)
Nothing like some sweet sweet Pac 12 after dark to end the day.
