Let’s make some money

It’s that time again, and after one of the rougher weeks of the year last week, we are still 54% on the year. This week, we have 9 picks, and I don’t know about you, but I think we’re going 9–0. Better yet, I am certain we are going 9–0.

Without further ado, here are the picks:

Florida -7 at Vandy Noon ESPN

Surprisingly enough, Florida has rebounded from the Kentucky loss to become of the best teams in the SEC. Vandy, on the other hand, has looked pretty terrible. Nothing I have seen makes me think that Vandy can keep this within even 10 points at halftime. Florida is going to dominate the line of scrimmage and connect on some big plays and win this one by at least 17.

Oklahoma State -7 at Kansas State Noon ESPNU

Look, this game is simple. Don’t think too much about it. Oklahoma State is clearly a much better team than Kansas State. They may start slow with it being a noon game, but 7 points just isn’t enough. The Cowboys win by a couple possessions and we cover easily to start the day.

Troy -9.5 at Liberty 1:00 ESPN3

Troy is one of the best group of 5 teams in the country and Liberty was just beat by New Mexico State, one of the worst teams in the FBS. Troy could be up by 30 at half if they wanted to. This will absolutely be a blowout and once again, we cover. 3 early blowouts to start the day.

LSU +7.5 vs Georgia 3:30 CBS

Not only do I think LSU covers here, but I think thy win outright. They are built perfectly to attack this Georgia team where they are weakest. Georgia has looked like a very beatable team all year and this is where it comes crashing down. LSU should be able to win the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and suffocate the Georgia offense. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Justin Fields completely take over at quarterback. So yeah, LSU +7.5 all day, and if you’re feeling ballsy, take the moneyline.

UCF -5.5 at Memphis 3:30 ABC

LOCK OF THE WEEK COMIN IN HOT. All UCF does is blow teams out and Memphis has looked terrible at times this year. This line is way too low just because of the reputation Memphis has established the last few years, but Riley Fergerson isn’t coming through those doors. They just don’t have it this year. The Golden Knights win by at least two touchdowns, that’s a guarantee. Mckenzie Milton is a top 5 quarterback in the nation.

West Virginia -6.5 at Iowa State 7:00 FS1

Iowa State has lost by 10, 10, and 3 this year to opponents worse than West Virginia and they squeezed out a game against Akron. Yes they beat Oklahoma State last week, but 6.5 points is an over reaction. West Virginia is a really good football teams and really good football teams take care of teams they are better than. We’re gonna cover.

Virginia Tech -6 at UNC 7:00 ESPNU

I don’t care how bad Virginia Tech has looked in their last two losses, UNC is still a terrible football team. Like really really really bad. The Hokies are looking to rebound and what better way than beating up on an inferior conference opponent. Larry Fedora’s days are numbered and Tech is going to roll in this one.

Hawaii +11 at BYU 10:15 ESPN2

Another week, another example of Vegas not showing Hawaii the love they deserve. We’re just going to keep on winning money off the Rainbow Warriors. BYU just got wholloped by Utah State right after they forgot how to play football against Washington. Now you’re trying to tell me they beat a 6–1 Hawaii team by two possessions?? Give me a break. Hawaii wins this one outright. Easy money.

Colorado +7 at USC 10:30 FS1

Colorado may not have the most impressive wins resume wise, but they have looked impressive in the games they’ve won. Furthermore, USC has looked pretty bad this year. I know the brand name in this one makes people uncomfortable, but this just isn’t the same USC team. I honestly expect Colorado to win outright.

Well that’s all for this week. 9–0 never looked so good. As always, share this with your friends and family.

Happy Gambling!
