OPPOSITE PICKS: Season Record: 14-12-2 (3-2-2 last week)
COLORADO +21.5 vs. USC
Colorado got blasted last week vs. Oregon. But that game was on the road, this one is at home. Ducks have a terrific defense, while USC couldn’t stop Topeka high. Trojans have given up on average 20pts a game including 28 to god awful San Jose St. & Arizona St. Colorado is good for 30+ at home which means USC would have to score 50-60pts. Buffs get the cover and maybe win outright as USC’s defense is that bad.
OPPOSITE PICK: USC -21.5
.
KENTUCKY +1 vs. Florida
Boys in Vegas’ dyslexia is kicking in again. They have it backwards. Wrong team is favored. It’s Kentucky that has the better record at 4-0. It’s Kentucky that is the home team. It’s Kentucky that has won this battle the last two years. It’s Kentucky that has the better bourbon. LOVE Kentucky.
OPPOSITE PICK: FLORIDA -1
.
JAMES MADISON -3 vs. South Alabama
James Madison ran roughshod last year through the Sun Belt in their first year at the FBS level. Same thing is happening this year. They are 4-0 including wins against Virginia and at Utah St.. South Alabama is only 2-2 but does have 18 starters back from last year’s 10 win team. No matter. This is a Superbowl for the home Dukes. They win by 7-10pts. OPPOSITE PICK: SOUTH ALABAMA +3
.
NEBRASKA +17 vs. Michigan
Wolverines are 4-0. Nebraska is only 2-2. But the Husker Black Shirts defense is back. They’ve held 3 of their four opponents to 14pts or less. Michigan is 0-4 ATS because their offense has failed to score more than 37pts against the likes of Rutgers, Bowling Green, UNLV & East Carolina. Laying 17pts with an offense like that will take a near shutout of Nebraska. Huge game for the Huskers in front of their home crowd.
OPPOSITE PICK: MICHIGAN -17
.
MARYLAND -14.5 vs. Indiana
This Hoosiers teams is the worst 2-2 team in the history of CFB. Their two wins came in OT vs. putrid Akron and minor leaguer Indiana St. Maryland is 4-0 winning each game by at least 18pts. And now all I have to do is lay 14.5 at home? Where do I sign? Tua Tags little brother is running the show and is trying for some Heisman love of his own. They do have a monster game at Ohio St. next week. But Maryland is in a different class than Indiana. They win by 3 scores.
OPPOSITE PICK: INDIANA +14.5
.
BUFFALO +2.5 @ Akron
Are my eyes deceiving me? Have the boys in Vegas gone bonkers? They have Akron as a FAVORITE! That’s the first time in 28 games against FBS teams…you have to go back to 2020 the last time the Zippers were favored in a real football game. They are 1-3 with their only win coming against Morgan St. They had 1 win over an FBS team last year…1 in 20211 in 2020 and none in 2019. So they are 4-47 their last 51 FBS games and now your asking me to lay points with them? Plus, Buffalo is 5-0 SU & 4-1 ATS last 5 meetings vs. Akron.
OPPOSITE PICK: AKRON -2.5
.
ARKANSAS ST. +2 @ UMASS
What is world is happening to our sports world? Not only is Akron a favorite this weekend, but so is UMASS…the biggest waste of human flesh in CFB uniforms East of the Mississippi. UMASS was a favorite last week against New Mexico and lost outright. UMASS hadn’t been a favorite since 2019.,..44 games against FBS teams. Now they are favorites in back to back weeks. That’s comical. You would have to be the biggest birdbrain, butt head, meat head, fat-head, imbecile, simpleton, moron, dork, schmuck, clutz, clod, clown, mental midget, jerk, jackass in the world to bet UMASS.
OPPOSITE PICK: ARKANSAS ST. +2
