Join me the next few months as I try to build my bankroll and yours. There is nothing quite like making some cash off the efforts and hard work of others, namely "student" athletes. I basically sit around drinking beer every Saturday and at the end of the day I have usually made money (or at least not lost too much..lol).
I offer my wisdom or perhaps lack thereof in order of confidence. Keep in mind I might have gotten a few numbers better than what's available now because I normally lock in my plays on favorites (which most of these are) on Mon or Tues night.
I have 12 small plays, from which, most people should be able to find a few that they like for their parlay cards, online wagers, or bookie bets.
Not to toot my own horn, (ok so I am tooting my own horn) but as Al can attest I did in fact make these picks yesterday so I'm off to a 1-0 start after South Carolina exposed Ole Miss as the grossly overrated team that they are. Without further ado, settle into your comfy recliner, get as many TVs going at once as you can, crack open a cold one and let's enjoy a profitable Saturday.
1.) Miami -2.5 Simply put the U is back. No way Tech can muster the offense to stay with these guys. I'd play it up to -6.5. On the road at Lane Stadium....blah blah blah. Nebraska should have won there, Miami will, and handily.
2.) Oregon St -1.5 Corvallis is tough and whatever progress Mike Stoops has made has been slow and arduous. Seems too easy but I'll bite.
3.) PSU -9.5 Bear in mind Iowa could win by 28 and that wouldn't come close to justifying Ferentz's mind blowing salary. (Not to get on a rant here but this guy makes 3 million bucks a year, is mentioned for every college and NFL opening and for what? The guy has one Big Ten title, got slaughtered in the Orange Bowl, goes to the Capitol One bowl in a great year and 5-7 in a bad one while running an offense so boring I'd rather watch paint dry. I'd love to have this guy's agent negotiate my next job salary.) Sure Iowa has looked better the last 2 weeks after the abomination that was the last second win against Northern Iowa and true PSU has yet to cover this year. What better time to start than in a revenge spot in Happy Valley at night against an Iowa offense so bland it makes the 1940's army teams look innovative.
4.) Clemson -2.5 If you're like me you'll look for any reason to fade the always arrogant Gary Patterson and his horned frogs. Look no further here. Clemson is efficient on offense and save for the first half at GT has looked solid defensively.
5.) Michigan -20.5 I know most of you hate Rich but this isn't personal it's business. He ain't changin so he might as well make us money. That he will when he unleashes his young talent against an IU squad that has to be one of the worst undefeated teams through 3 weeks of the season of all time.
6.) Miss St +12.5 I'm not much of a trends and stats guy. I'm a feel bettor. However even I can't ignore that LSU is 7-20-1 against the number in their last 28 SEC road games.
7.) Kansas -13.5 Perhaps this isn't as strong a KU team of 2 years ago but they are close. Southern Miss is normally pesky and they are 3-0 but if the Sewell kid and the shitty UVA offense can score 34 in Hattiesburg what's Todd Reesing going to do with receivers running free in the secondary all day? Cover the spread that's what.
8.) GT -2.5 Not much analysis here. Short favorite at home, I love option football and UNC hasn't yet found competent receivers to replace Nix
9.) Auburn -32.5 This really should be higher up the confidence list but laying this number is rarely a confident proposition. Ball St is pathetic, Auburn will score as many as they want to.
10.) South Carolina +4 This is a fade of Ole Miss. I love the ole ball coach. I love Houston Nutt too but Colonel Reb won't sneak up on people this yr. When people are gunning for you in the SEC you had better be really good. Ole Miss isn't. This is a final possession type of game.
11.) ND -7 You can count the times I have backed the Irish on one hand, however after seeing Purdue lose to Northern Illinois and as efficient as Clausen has been, I like ND to roll.
12.) Mich St +3 I hate this play and am pissed at myself already for taking it. This is the type of boring Big Ten shit fest in the Noon slot that either makes you want to accelerate your drinking pace or head back to bed. Two teams that run run run and run some more. I'll take a stab at the team catching points.
I will be posting the weekend's picks on Thursday afternoon from now on.
Best of luck to all!
