2024/25 CFB OPPOSITE PICKS: 65-47-1
2025/2026: 3-11
What are Opposite Picks you ask? I take 7 games…give you 7 thousand reasons why I like one team and then go Opposite. Why? Because despite all the stats, trends, hunches, injury reports, weather reports and everything else. NOBODY but NOBODY beats the BIV! I’ve doing this for over 20 years and I’ve only had a losing season ONCE by going Opposite!

WEEK #3
SOUTH FLORIDA +17.5 @ Miami
Apparently the BIV don’t watch CFB because clearly they don’t know how good this South Florida team is. SF has already beat Boise St. and Florida outright. Now you are giving me 17.5pts? Are you serious? Miami barely beat Notre Dame and has a rival game against Florida next week. Miami’s beaten South Florida 5 of their 6 meetings including 4 by 21pts or more. They aren’t taking this game serious…neither did Boise…neither did Florida and look what happened to them. Same could happen here. Do you really have any faith in Mario Cristobal getting his team mentally prepared?
OPPOSITE PICK: MIAMI -17.5
#2 DUKE +1.5 @ TULANE
ACC team vs. an American Conf. team…and I’m GETTING oints? Throw in former Tulane QB, Darian Mensah, is playing for…Duke. Duke self destructed last week against Illinois as the score isn’t reflective of how close that game was. Five turnovers turned a 14-13 game into an Illini rout. Duke is in a perfect bounce back spot. Tulane QB Jake Retzlaff meanwhile is finding life with Green Wave WR’s a little different than with BYU wide receivers. Two games he’s yet to throw for over 155yds. Duke is 3-0 SU & ATS vs. Tulane. Duke buries Tulane.
OPPOSITE PICK: TULANE -1.5
#3 TEXAS TECH -23.5 vs. Oregon St.
This is the Kohl’s Opposite Pick play of the week….Bargain shopping. How is laying 23.5pts a bargain? Because Tech already has won games by 48 & 60pts. Laying only 23.5 to a winless Oregon State team is like getting 30% off coupons in the mail from Kohl’s. Tech has scored 129pts in two games Now they face a Beavers defense that has given up 34pts to light hitting Fresno St. and 36pts to even lighter hitting Cal. Tech puts at least 50 on the board. No way Oregon St. keeps up. Tech wins 54-20 and covers easily.
OPPOSITE PICK: OREGON ST. +23.5
#4 WEST VIRGINIA +7.5 vs. Pittsburgh
The BackYard Brawl. One of the most intense rivalries you will find. Two schools are about 75 miles apart. This reminds me a lot of last week’s Iowa/Iowa St. game when we were getting 3.5pts. WVA has either won or covered 7.5pts in FOURTEEN straight meetings. WVA h/c Rich Rod is 12-6 SU & 10-6-1 ATS after his first loss of the season so he does get his teams to bounce back from bad efforts like they had last week vs. Ohio. Love, Love, Love West Virginia.
OPPOSITE PICK: PITTSBURGH -7.5
#5 VANDERBILT +3.5 @ South Carolina
Who thought we’d ever say we had a great SEC game and Georgia, Alabama, Texas nor LSU is involved. But that’s what we have here. I love this Vandy team. Love the QB Diego Pavia. If he played for any other team they would be talking Heisman Trophy…and they might by the end of the year. SC has a terrific QB as well…but it’s Pavia that’s beaten Alabama. It’s Pavia that lost to the great Texas team last year by one score. It’s Pavia that is 5-0 ATS as a road dog. Also, extra chip is on Vandy’s shoulder as its worst loss points wise last year came against….yep…South Carolina. LOVE Vandy to win out right.
OPPOSITE PICK: SOUTH CAROLINA -3.5
#6 CAL +2.5 vs. Minnesota
BIV dyslexia is kicking in again…they have it backwards. Wrong team is favored. It’s Cal that’s beaten a real Div. 1 team…It’s Cal that is the home team. It’s Cal that’s beaten a real Div 1 team in Oregon St., It’s Cal that has 16 returning starters inc: it’s QB. And its Cal head coach Justin Wilcox that is 14-5 ATS as home dogs. And it’s Minnesota that has to travel 2,000 miles to play the game. Now you are GIVING me points? LOVE CAL
OPPOSITE PICK: MINNESOTA -2.5
#7 APPALACHIAN ST. -3.5 @ Southern Miss
In the words of Rick Pitino, Bret Farve, Duece McCallister & Patrick Willis are not walking through that door folks. This version of Southern Miss instead is a lot like last year’s version, which was a lot like the year before’s, which sadly was like the year before that…LOUSY. SMiss is 18-45 the last 5+ seasons. What about covering the spread? SM is a putrid $$ burning, your bookie will call you 22-35 ATS in lined games inc: 7-18 ATS at home. Plus, AST is ranked 6th in rushing defense. You would have to be the biggest birdbrain, hairbrained, butthead, meathead, mental midget, nutcase, nincompoop, crackpot, screwball in the world to bet Southern Miss.
OPPOSITE PICK: SOUTHERN MISS +3.5
