Reed Olson’s Ramblin, Gamblin CFB PickEm Year 2 Week 4
YTD 50-42-2 +8 Units
Week 3 in the books and we are off and running diving into the week 4 slate with multiple games on thursday and friday night. Mind you my record on weekday games this year in college football has been abysmal. The only way to turn that around unfortunately is to keep firing them. Scared money don’t make no money as they say. This is an exciting week as well because I have a GOTY which I will be firing a large amount of units in a multitude of ways on this game. I will be in attendance for the game so the live tweets will be firing off throughout the duration of the primetime game from jerry world. That all being said lets jump into the picks for the week and win some money.
Sides YTD 29-24-1
Coastal Carolina vs Georgia State (+2)
Fading my own brain to start the week out. Georgia State is 0-3 to start the year and the fighting chickens are 3-0. Georgia State is still only a two point dog in this one. I think they win this game. Coastal has not looked great in their games so far this year and the panthers have been competitive in all their games to start despite not winning any of them they figure it out tonight and beat Coastal.
West Virginia vs Virginia Tech (+3)
I have little faith in either of these teams. Lane Stadium at night still means something and both these coaching staffs desperately need a win the hokies get it down in this one.
Baylor (+2.5) vs Iowa State
Matt Campbell as a favorite is much less appealing to bet on then Matt Campbell the underdog. I do not see many points being scored in this one so give me the points and Dave Areanda and the bears will have this one going down to the wire.
Clemson (-7) vs Wake Forest
Clemson has beaten the Demon deacons every year since 2009 and have beat them by double digits every year since 2012. I do not see it being any different this time around.
Duke vs Kansas (-7.5)
College Gameday should be in Lawrence this weekend. Two undefeated basketball schools meet up late in September. I am once again asking you to believe in Kansas football. The Jayhawks 3-0 is very different in the quality of opponent beaten than the Blue Devils. Give me the Jayhawks laying the points! Huh? Who would have said that sentence in the past couple years.
Kent State vs Georgia (-44)
I will be betting Georgia first Quarter -10.5, Georgia -28 first half, and Georgia full game. Poor Kent State please stop prostituting your program out for all these buy games.
Maryland vs Michigan (-17)
The wolverines blowout lesser teams. The terrapins falter and get blown out by better teams. This one just makes to much sense give me the boys from Ann Arbor.
Mizzou (+7) vs Auburn
If Mizzou wins this game will be the last game coached by one Bryan Harsin.
TCU (-2.5) vs SMU
Cross town rivalry for the Iron Skillet. Sunny Dykes now with what he considers the hotter of the two jobs in DFW. I like the frogs to win this game.
Florida vs Tennessee (-10.5)
I like Tennessee at home with that offense vs a florida with a banged up Anthony Richardson who has not thrown a TD pass yet this season. Also Rocky Top is fun to sing when ya got money on the Vols. Feels like 98.
JMU (+7) vs App State
When does the Magic run out for the Neers? I will be betting this week vs the hottest team fresh out the FCS give me the Dukes getting a touchdown in Boone. Logan will hate that I faded both App and Coastal this week.
Minnesota (-3) vs Michigan State
This game feels like a trap, regardless I will take the cheese I am betting the gophers until they fail to cover a spread.
Notre Dame vs UNC (-2)
Betting on Notre Dame at this point seems like torture. Instead give me the Tarheels who play football games like someone on speed. Never know what your gonna get out of the heels, but it will be fast and entertaining even if it ends in pain.
Tulsa vs Ole Miss (-21)
I think the Rebs are a good football team playing a lot of bad ones to start the year. With Maxwell Hennen reporting live from the grove though I will take the Rebs to stay hot.
GOTY ALERT!!!!!!!!!
Arkansas (+2.5) vs Texas A&M
This is my first game of the year in this young college football season. I love my Razorbacks to win two straight against the Aggies from college station. I will be betting a large amount of units on this one for my hogs. The entirety of my weekend gambling will be decided by these two teams in primetime down in Arlington.
Kansas State vs Oklahoma (-12.5)
The Sooners are a much better team and will showcase that fact in Norman this saturday evening.
USC (-6.5) vs Oregon State
Everyone seems to want to see the Trojans trip up. They will not do so this saturday in Corvallis. Though I do like this Beavs team a lot they are not ready for the quality and quantity of studs SC will be bringing north for this game.
Stanford vs Washington (-13.5)
This new passing attack for the Huskies is legit. Michael Penix looks all the way back in those gorgeous purple uniforms throw in a rowdy crowd from sailgating all day and I love the puppies to beat the tree soundly.
Utah (-14.5) vs Arizona State
The Sun Devils are dead and with impending NCAA issues could be for a long time depending on who they bring to be the new coach in Tempe.
Totals YTD 21-18-1
Coastal Carolina vs Georgia State (Over 63)
The Fun Belt on weekdays is not for betting unders.
Baylor vs Iowa State (Under 45)
Gonna be a windy morning in Ames this Saturday along with the fact the cyclones have a pretty stiff defense and Matt Campbell in close spread games always plays it tight. Not many points coming in the State of Iowa this weekend.
Duke vs Kansas (Over 65.5)
The books are catching on to our play of Kansas overs week in and week out. I think we got another this week though for as much I love this Kansas offense the defense still has problems.
Kent State vs Georgia (Under 62)
Playing with fire again this week after getting burned with the push last week. I am once again betting Georgia’s opponent will not score a Touchdown sue me.
Minnesota vs Michigan State (Over 51)
Under Mel Tucker the paradigm has shifted from an under team to an over team with the Spartans. I like there to be some points scored in this one.
Arkansas vs Texas A&M (Over 48.5)
Arkansas overs are 3-0. Texas A&M unders are 3-0. Something has to give. The more points that are scored the more conducive that is for the Razorbacks brand of football. Hogs and the over need it.
Iowa vs Rutgers (Over 33.5)
I mean??? Just I have too. I am not sure this is a good bet, but it simply has to be done.
Charlotte vs South Carolina (Over 66)
Hello it is me again, Yes I am here to bet the Charlotte over for another week, because all it does is print money. Thank you have a nice day!
Kansas State vs Oklahoma (Over 52.5)
The Sooners will put up a lot of points in this game can Kansas State do a little to help?
USC vs Oregon State (Under 70.5)
Gonna try betting these inflated Trojan totals every week they are over 70 and see how we do.
