YTD 76-73-2
9-9 last week, but I lost Penn State so it was a very bad week. If I am going to be slightly above .500 overall and even on the week I have to be hitting the big ones. I underestimated the buckeyes defense and over estimated Penn States ability to generate any offense whatsoever. Marvin Harrison Jr. was the difference in the game simply unguardable. I still think the Buckeyes would have won regardless, but the 14 point swing that occurred when they called back Penn States scoop and score was brutal and felt like a stake in the heart early in that game. To be honest this week’s slate is not all that enthralling so may try and limit the card and play a little 4 corners offense until we get to some of these big time rivalries down the stretch.
Sides YTD 44-49-2
Indiana vs Penn State (-31.5)
I know they just burned us last week, but back at home against an inferior opponent. James Franklin won’t let the boosters down and will give us all a chance to win some of that coin back this weekend in Happy Valley.
Tulsa vs SMU (-21)
This just feels like a game I have seen to many times in my life the ponies roll in this one. I could see a score like 48-17 in this one to get us a no sweat cover.
BYU vs Texas (-20)
Now initially I will be honest I forgot that Quinn Ewers will not be playing in this game. Then I remembered and thought to myself I still don’t care. This Texas Defense will do enough to keep the cougs from scoring much and play a more ball control style with running the football. I’m thinking 35-10 in this one.
Duke vs Louisville (-6)
How much do the blue devils have left in the tank right now? I am pretty sure Riley leonard will not play in this game for Duke. Also at home after a bye week giving Jeff Brohm some extra time to dial in the offense I like the cards to get it done at home.
Purdue vs Nebraska (-2.5)
I have not bet on the huskers in a while so this probably a kiss of death for Matt Rhule’s squad. I like how they have been playing the last couple weeks in Lincoln though. I think the defense is good enough at home to win this game by more than a field goal. Give me the Blackshirts to get it done vs the big drum boys.
Wyoming (+5) vs Boise State
I think people are not aware that boise state just is not that great this year. This number feels like to much old respect for the smurf turf. I like this cowboys squad and getting 5 points like them to go to boise and wrangle those broncos go pokes.
Tennessee vs Kentucky (+3.5)
Catching a field goal and a hook at home with Mark Stoops after two consecutive tough losses? I will take the cats in this bounce back spot I think the wrong team is favored so I will take the 3.5 and hopefully count my winnings.
Vanderbilt (+24) vs Ole Miss
Vandy has not lost by more than 24 points one time this year, and they have already played Georgia! To many damn point give me the Commodores to cover a spread on Ole Miss homecoming.
Oregon State vs Arizona (+3)
This Wildcat team has been balling and I want on the bandwagon for some Pac-12 After Dark. Have to enjoy it while we still have it.
Totals YTD 32-24
Clemson vs NC State (Under 44)
I really kinda dislike both of these teams. I will more than likely not be watching this game and just scoreboard watching, because these teams kinda make me ill when I watch their games.
Oregon vs Utah (Over 47.5)
I really wanted to bet the ducks in this one. I simply can’t flip on the Utes anymore though. Give me the over, because if the Ducks win this game I think their will be some big time scoring involved.
BYU vs Texas (Under 50)
I said I’m thinking 35-10 so that is only 45. With it being 5 points off I am legally obligated to bet the under.
Ohio State vs Wisconsin (Over 45)
I am not really sure what will happen in this game, but I want some action on it to be honest.
Old Dominion vs JMU (Under 49)
JMU leads the nation in sacks. I think that will present a problem for the monarchs scoring ability go Dukes!
