Champ week is now upon us. This has been a really fun endeavor for me to embark on. Mainly for my success I mean +25 units is not an easy task to accomplish, but also for the little comments and support I have had writing this each week. Not to fear though there will be one more edition of this once all the bowls are announced where I will either do all the bowls in one sheet or continue to do the bowls as they come each week to provide more accurate lines as the games come closer to the time of being played. Last week was another good week for the sheet going 8-3-1 in sides and 11-7-1 overall. Totals have been a little tougher lately with these rivalry and champ games tending to be more competitive and thus lower scoring in general alas we have a brand new week and its champ week so if you’re not dialed in by now you probably shouldn’t be betting.

Sides YTD 52-37-2

WKU (-3) vs UTSA

UTSA went down for the first time all year against the mean green last week. This game is a home game for the roadrunners and they are still three point dogs Vegas knows something’s up in this one. The hilltoppers on the other hand have covered the spread in 75% of their games this year give me WKU.

Utah (-2.5) vs Oregon

I was on Oregon last time these two teams played and that game was in Utah. That ended very poorly. This game is being played in Las Vegas. Maybe Oregon turns it around this time and sends themselves to play in Pasadena again this year. I just don’t see them turning it around so quickly against a team that beat them by 31 just a few weeks ago and getting less than three points give me the Utes.

Baylor vs Oklahoma State (-5.5)

I have gone back and forth on this game, but I really think Okie state is gonna make the playoff as weird as that sounds. Has Mike Gundy historically snatched defeat from the jaws of victory? Yes he has. Something about this cowboys team is different though. Baylor lost by just ten earlier in the year in Stillwater. If you think homefield is worth three points the cowboys win by 7 in jerry’s world still covering the spread.

Georgia (-6.5) vs Alabama

ALERT ALERT ALERT!!!!! THIS IS REED OLSON’S GAME OF THE YEAR

This game is already a ten unit play for me and it may end up being more by saturday. I love the Bulldogs in this matchup. We are getting a great number based on people’s perception of Alabama from past years, not the reality of what this team really is. Alabama’s O-Line is not good compared to years past. This Georgia defense is allowing something stupid like 6.9 points per game. College football is the best sport because anything can truly happen but not in this one bulldogs by a whole lot kirby finally gets his win vs ole nick saban I would take this number at anything inside of 14, but at 6.5 it feels like stealing.

Houston (+11) vs Cincinnati

If the AAC played their championship game on a neutral field I would bet Houston outright. I like the points though in this matchup at home with a chance at the playoff on the line that home crowd will be rocking like never before. That being said I love the cougars offense and I think they do enough for us to keep it inside the number still may sprinkle just a bit on the ML.

Iowa vs Michigan (-10.5)

I like Michigan a lot in this matchup fresh off their biggest win in a decade the wolverines should be locked in to secure their spot in the playoff in indy this weekend. Iowa has played a subpar Big 10 schedule not beating opponents by large margins and catching some opponents like Penn state injured. The Wolverines should be able to run the ball not to the extent they did against Ohio State, but still more than enough to win this game by two touchdowns.

Wake Forest vs Pitt (-3)

Should end up being a track meet in Charlotte this weekend. Who the hell had preseason Wake vs Pitt for all the ACC marbles! That is crazy enough I like the Panthers in this one they’ve been good against the spread most of the year and I got to ride them here

3-4

Totals YTD 45-35

Oregon vs Utah (Under 58)

This is a fade myself game the last few weeks I have been betting both these teams overs and they simply have not been hitting. I am sure the trend will reverse itself here, but give me the under in this one on Friday night.

Baylor vs Oklahoma state (Over 46.5)

Matter of Principle neutral site on the Big 12 Championship game I am taking over. I know Oklahoma state has been feasting on unders all year might just need a few college football plays to cash this one.

Utah State vs SDSU (Under 50)

All the Punt God Matt Arazia does is pin opponents inside their own 20. SDSU has been an under team all year and they stay true to form in the mountain west championship game.

Georgia vs Alabama (Over 49)

This feels almost sacrilegious. I have put so many Georgia unders on this sheet this year it is ridiculous. I think Kirby will try and run the score up on this one legitimately which is why we get there the tide score at most 14 in this game. I also really like Alabama’s team total under 21.5.

Houston vs Cincinnati (Over 52)

The bearcats have been killing me on totals for weeks and here I am going back to the well. I like Houston to score in this game and keep it close this one gets there this weekend.

Iowa vs Michigan (Over 43.5)

This over will be a fight just letting you know at the onset of taking this bet. Iowa will probably do their absolute damndest to make this an under game most of the ballgame, but 43.5 is too low of a college score for me not to take the over.

Wake Forest vs Pitt (Over 72)

This total is completely fair on the way these two teams have played all year. Let’s just hope the field in Charlotte is in good condition and enjoy the fireworks these teams should provide for us.
