CFB OPPOSITE PICKS: 2026/2027: 25-24
WEEK #8:
CENTRAL FLORIDA +7 vs. BYU
Classic Let Down. I love BYU. BUT, they are coming off their biggest win in maybe school history…or at least back until the Jim McMahon days. These kids celebrated their win over Notre Dame last week like they just found Noah’s Ark. No way, they are flying all the way across the country to play an early game on the East Coast and do well. Teams off upset wins over Notre Dame are a dismal 21-40-2 ATS the following week. CFL is 3-3 and coming off a bye week & this is their homecoming game. They win outright.
OPPOSITE PICK: BYU -7 = LOSE

LSU -7 @ Auburn
Classic Let Down spot#2. Auburn Tigers are coming off their biggest win since the Kick Six TD return vs. Alabama. While LSU is a notable opponent, Auburn is emotionally cooked. We’ve seen Ole Miss, Texas, Georgia, Missouri and countless others this season fail in similar spots. LSU is allowing the 5th least yards per game. Tigers roll.
OPPOSITE PICK: AUBURN +7 = LOSE

#3
SOUTH CAROLINA -2.5 vs. Tennessee
Classic Let Down spot #3. Tennessee celebrated after last week’s win over Alabama like just found out Elvis really is alive. Now they play a mediocre South Carolina team and have 6-1 Kentucky next week. Vols defense is second to none, but their offense stinks. You can’t get away with that on the road in the SEC. Cocks win and cover.
OPPOSITE PICK: TENNESSEE +2.5 = LOSE

#4
SYRACUSE +9.5 @ North Carolina
Classic Let Down spot #4. North Carolina is off back to back upset wins over Pittsburgh and rival Duke. Now they face a lousy 2-4 Syracuse team. Tell the little lady forget about making lunch today, you already have a big time sandwich game on your plate as NC goes from rival Duke to #1 Miami next week. That makes this the sandwich game. NC also goes from being the hunter to the huntee. Cuse has outgained 5 of it’s 6 opponents, while, NC’s been outgained it’s last 4 games. Cuse wins outright.
OPPOSITE PICK: NORTH CAROLINA -9.5 = LOSE

#5
ARIZONA ST. +2.5 vs. Kansas St.
Classic Let Down spot #5. Kansas St. is coming off it’s big win over rival Kansas last week. This has been a bad spot for the Wildcats who are 1-5 SU the week after facing Kansas. Arizona St. was the darling of the Big 12 two years ago. But they are struggling again this season after finishing 6-6 last year. Good spot for them though…back at home after getting trashed by Texas Tech 53-25 in maybe h/c Kenny Dillingham worst game with the Wildcats. QB change for the Cats as well. Great bounce back spot for the Cats who’ve beat KST 6 of their last 7 meetings.
OPPOSITE PICK: KANSAS ST. -2.5 = LOSE

#6
NEW MEXICO -4.5 vs. North Dakota St.
Huge game in Mountain West as 5-1 New Mexico hosts the 6-1 Bison. While the Lobo’s victories aren’t great, their only loss was 14-6 to Oklahoma. No shame in that. NDST has been impressive it’s first year at the FBS level. But their wins have been against some of the worst teams in all of CFB. Lobo’s have won 10 straight at home going 6-2-1 ATS in those line games. New Mexico wins.
OPPOSITE PICK: NORTH DAKOTA ST. +4.5

#7
TROY -13.5 vs. La Monroe
Ah the BIV are giving us an early Halloween treat. How else can you explain 3-3 Troy at home being a less than 2 TD favorite against probably the worst team in the nation. How bad is La Monroe? They are giving up over 41pts a game…that’s the 2nd worst mark in ALL of CFB. They are giving up the 3rd most yards, 483yds PPG, in all of CFB. And they have the 16th worst offense in all of CFB. They’ve lost games by 17,24,28, and 39pts. And now all I have to do is lay 13.5?
You would have to be the biggest loser, lap head, meat head, blockhead, deadhead, Chowderhead, schnook, dork, lamebrain, bird brain, half-wit, nit-wit, dim-wit, jerk, jackass in the world to put money on Louisiana Monroe.
OPPOSITE PICK: LA MONROE +13.5 = WINNER
