Miami/FSU game

The end of the Miami/Florida St game was something else. The water bottles on the field told the tale and what was about to happen. A little karma maybe?

Florida State was lucky to get out of there alive, figuratively speaking. Good to see the rivalry alive and well, they need to play every year, just like FSU & Florida. Probably better for the ACC if State wins that game anyway. The Noles have a big showdown at home vs Clemson in just under two weeks.
 
Let's try another pick 6 🙂

Purdue (+12) @ Home Vs Iowa
Texas Tech (+2) @ Home Vs West Virginia
Tennessee (+13.5) @ Home Vs Alabama
Arkansas (+7.5) @ Home Vs Mississippi
Southern Mississippi (+24.5) @ LSU
Wisconsin (+11) @ Home Vs Ohio State

1 Unit Each

Looks like an exciting weekend of great football!
 
Youch!

Gonna stop betting against Alabama and for Tennessee. I have lost 2x against Tide and 3x for Volunteers.

LSU playing better without Les Miles?

Texas Tech couldn't match West Virginia and were flattened. So much for 550 yds of offense per game.

Badgers/Buckeyes was a great battle!

Clemson/ NC State another good game yesterday.
 
Arkansas takes down #12 Ole Miss !!!!!

Woooooooooooooo Pigs Sooiieeeeee !!!!!
 
Another great Saturday of college football!

Texas A&M visits Alabama both undefeated. Aggies keep it close if I don't bet on them! 🙂

I have some more underdogs I am going to play. Seems like too many points against decent teams at home and on the road. Here goes -

Iowa (+4) @ Home Vs Wisconsin
Utah (+7) @ UCLA
Arkansas (+10.5) @ Auburn
Maryland (+3) @ Home Vs Michigan State
Penn State (+19.5) @ Home Vs Ohio State
Arizona State (+8) @ Home Vs Washington State
Nevada (+5.5) @ Home Vs Wyoming

1 Unit each

Good luck to whoever chunks cash on games this weekend!

Depends on who the team is with zero losses. Clemson or Alabama would go for sure but Boise State or Western Michigan maybe not.
 
Pittsburg Panthers (+4) @ Home Vs Virginia Tech

Panthers 5-2 record and catching points make for a good home town dog.

Utah(+11) @ Home Vs Washington
Arizona State (+8) @ Oregon
Wyoming (+13.5) @ Home Vs Boise State

Go Geoorgia bull Dogs i love college football way more competitive

They lost to Vanderbilt, Georgia sucks. Even Navy is better than Georgia. To your point about NCAAF being more competitive, wrong again. NFL is where the best college football players end up. Not to mention they play for money, contracts and the world championship among 32 other professional teams. If you have a response to why it's more competitive I'd love to hear it.
 
Some big games this weekend!

Nebraska plays at Ohio State and Alabama plays at LSU

I am going to leave these 2 alone because I am on the fence on who to pick.

Odd picks of the week -

Air Force (+2) @ Army - Cadets always seem to have trouble with Falcons
N. Texas (+20) @ Home Vs Louisiana Tech - Should be a good tussle
Wyoming (-4.5) @ Home Vs Utah State - Cowboys bounce back after loss to Boise State
Texas/Texas Tech OVER 84 - No defense here in this shootout - maybe reach 100 points

Enjoy the games and the weekend!
 
run Leonard, run!

Would love to see LSU take out Alabama, but don't think it will happen. Where would the playoff committee put these teams if it happens? Would Bama be out of the top four until post-SEC championship time? Oh, the drama...
 
Saturday again! Football all day! 🙂

Big games to watch -

West Virginia @ Texas
Baylor @ Oklahoma
LSU @ Arkansas
Minnesota @ Nebraska
USC @ Washington
Michigan @ Iowa

My picks this week -

Kansas (+11) @ Home Vs Iowa State - Both teams have not won a Big-12 game and should be a close one in Kansas

Arkansas (+6.5) @ Home Vs LSU - Big rivalry here - good dog

Washington (-7.5) @ Home Vs Southern Cal - Huskies a really good team and show the Trojans why

1 Unit Each
 
Big game tonight!

Houston (+16) @ Home Vs Louisville - Cougars could spoil party for Cardinals! If Houston plays tough like they did against Oklahoma. I see a close game.

Thank you. And why should they then score the ball somewhere?

The opposing team has an end zone they defend for 60 minutes. The team who doesn't let the ball cross the line as much as the other team wins.
