Picks I'd take in Vegas . . . and Lose

I was terrible picking against the line last week. By the time the Mountaineers had given up their fourth turnover and everything had gone completely to shit, my parlay card had long gone to the wayside. Matter of fact it had already reverted to its infant state as a glob of pulp, thanks to the monsoon de la Alabama. Saving grace? I was great in straight up picks, going 8-10 on ESPN's college pickem, with my only two blemishes being my least confident games.

This week I plan to stick to one card, perhaps even just a three team parlay. Here's who I tentatively like:

Wake -2 at BC . . . TCU + 2.5 at Clemson . . . Rutgers -2.5 at Maryland (did ralphie really lose to MTSU again???) . . . Boise -16.5 at BG after those a**holes lost to Marshall . . . and unfortunately I think Pitt is a steal at +1 at NCST.

I'd stay away from the FSU, Washington, and Bama games as potential let down games. I think the line of the week could be Miami -2 at Va Tech in a revived matchup between two teams that generally have great teams and those of you who like Over/Unders . . . How about 59 for the Cincy v Fresno St game; That could be one hell of a shootout.
