YTD 37-31-1 +6 Units
Another week in the books. Another week of winning money. I am now above .500 in both Sides and Totals so far this year. While we will take another winning week every time I feel the explosion coming. Like in the movie “There will be blood” if we just keep drilling I will hit oil one of these weeks. Overall this is a tough week since we are starting to wrap up non conference schedules but not quite to league play for these teams. I will do my best to deliver you winners as always though and just have to keep drilling out positive weeks.
Sides YTD 21-18-1
Air Force (-16) vs Wyoming
This line keeps on climbing like a stealth bomber trying to reach altitude. Air Force is far and away the best service academy this year and should be favored to win the commander and chief trophy. Wyoming’s offense is abysmal and barring some option fumbles in the wrong end I like the Falcons to blow this one wide open.
Georgia (-24.5) vs South Carolina
Will Georgia keep their foot on the pedal in their first SEC game this year? I believe they will. This Gamecock offensive line will be absolutely smushed in this game. The only thing I am worried about is a backdoor late, but the bulldogs are the right side in this one.
Oklahoma (-11) vs Nebraska
Picking three road favorites out the gate great job Reed. This was not a motivational issue for Nebraska why they kept losing under Scott Frost. This is just a vast gap in talent. Brent Venables in his first rivalry game as the head man in Norman will leave no doubt in this one.
Buffalo vs Coastal Carolina (-14)
The fighting chickens are a better team then buffalo. They have better QB play by leaps and bounds. I like this game being played in Myrtle Beach in the early time slot and MAC teams are not nearly as good as FUN Belt teams.
South Alabama (+15.5) vs UCLA
The Sun Belt requires more blood. I was on the wrong side of the Jaguars last week when they went into Mt Pleasant and beat the Chips outright. I like getting the extra point and half outside the football number as well in this one.
Tulane vs Kansas State (-14)
My darlings down in New Orleans have not played anybody with a pulse yet. They will be in for a rude awakening as they travel to the little apple this weekend. This wildcat team is the real deal on offense and I think they will run the green wave right back down the river back to the delta.
BYU (+3.5) vs Oregon
The mormons travel to Eugene this weekend. The fact that they are traveling is the only reason they are getting over a field goal. The cougars are the better team and I like them to win this game outright.
Colorado vs Minnesota (-27.5)
The Buffalos are a very bad football team. They claim they are a Pac-12 team, but they are not. The betting public has not quite caught on to how bad this team is. PJ Fleck at home with an opportunity to blow a team out will do so. Give me the gophers to win by 4 TDs.
Vanderbilt (+2.5) vs NIU
I told everyone in the preseason the Commodores would reach their season win total over by the end of September. The boys from Nashville win this game and cash the over 2.5 wins.
Kansas (+9) vs Houston
The Jayhawks are a better team then you think they are. Believe in Kansas. Also the cougars have not looked as good as I thought they would to start the year.
Colorado State vs Wazzu (-17)
Both of the Colorado teams suck at college football. Give me the cougs back home in Pullman to win this one going away.
Missouri State vs Arkansas (N/A)
Since the Hogs are playing an FCS opponent this weekend the official line is not yet out at the time of this writing. I estimate it will be hogs by 24-28 type spread when it does. Whatever it ends up being I am taking the hogs at home money printing machine.
Mississippi State (-2) vs LSU
Bulldogs as road 2 point favorites in death valley. This goes against most of my betting beliefs in regards to Baton Rouge however I think State is the better team at the moment and they will show that Saturday.
Texas Tech vs NC State (-9.5)
The wolfpack burned me last time I bet them. Back at home this week with a big matchup vs the Red Raiders I like them to get more into the form I expected from them to start the season.
Totals YTD 16-13
Florida State vs Louisville (Under 57)
I have no idea what cardinals team will show up now that they are back home in kentucky this week. Florida State has a good D-Line that will disrupt Louisville. I worry about Louisville back end holding up in pass coverage since they have been blitzing a lot so far this season.
Georgia vs South Carolina (Under 55)
42-3 Bulldogs.
South Alabama vs UCLA (Over 60.5)
Both teams can score some points and I like South Alabama to have Chip Kelly wondering late why the hell he scheduled a Sun Belt team.
Cal vs Notre Dame (Under 40)
These teams both have terrible offenses. Notre Dame is on a backup QB. This game will be a miserable viewing affair.
Tulane vs Kansas State (Over 47.5)
If the Wildcats could hang 40 on Mizzou what will they do to Tulane?
Colorado vs Minnesota (Over 47)
Just going to need like 10 points from Colorado.
Penn State vs Auburn (Under 47.5)
Neither one of these teams will be able to score points or pull away from each other on the scoreboard. My only worry here would be if they both suck so much they end up in overtime and get to 48 that way.
Kansas vs Houston (Over 57.5)
Kansas’s deal this year will be they are gonna score quite a few points, but also give up quite a few in the process.
Charlotte vs Georgia State (Over 61.5)
Another week, another Charlotte over. This defense for the 49ers might as well be a hemophiliac. I will continue betting their overs every single week.
SMU vs Maryland (Over 73.5)
Styles make fights in college football. These two teams may as well be looking in the mirror at each other. Both have electric offenses and bad defenses. Winner of this game has to score 45-50 points.
Miami (FL) vs Texas A&M (Under 44.5)
I did not pick a side in this game even though I lean the aggies bounce back in this one. Both of these coaches are very conservative and this game could get tight as neither will want to give this game away. Not many points in this one.
