I fumbled. Like Louisville, I lost my championship hopes.
Like Iowa, I struggled at home. Like Maryland, I didn't
cover the close wins. And just like Fresno State, I
couldn't even cover the easy ones. It was a tough week,
this is the score…
TOP
5 Bets
1.
Oklahoma Sooners (win)
2. Maryland Terrapins (loss)
3. Fresno State Bulldogs (loss)
4. Vanderbilt Commodores (loss)
5. Cincinnati Bearcats (win)
Louisville
Cardinals (-6.5) @ Rutgers Scarlet Knights: Loss.
The Game I was expecting happened in the first 20 minutes.
The game that gave me an early college week loss happened
during the next 25 minutes. After halftime I was thinking,
ha, exactly what I expected. After the game I was thinking….
What the hell just happened?
Georgia
Tech Yellow Jackets (-13.5) @ North Carolina Tar Heels:
Loss! This game was disgusting. I wouldn't take
$50 in payment to watch this thing again. I don't know
what happened to Tech's offense, but Reggie Ball isn't
a passer. He's been brutal lately. 7-0. Gross!
Cincinnati
Bearcats (+19.5) @ West Virginia Mountaineers: WIN!
I just barely got by in this one, it was close, but
the way the last few weeks have been going,
Wisconsin
Badgers @ Iowa Hawkeyes (+1): Loss! The Hawkeyes
have won 4 straight in this rivalry, and are very tough
at home. All signs point to Wisconsin, but lets not
forget the importance of home field advantage in a divisional
rivalry like this one. Iowa has struggled lately, but
a big win over Wisconsin here would get them right back
in the Bowl picture. Look for Iowa to surprise a lot
of people on Saturday.
Vanderbilt
Commodores (+2.5) @ Kentucky Wildcats: Loss! I love
betting on the Commodores. (6-3 ATS) You can see why.
The Wildcats are coming off a huge win over Georgia,
so they should struggle out of the gates. The Commodores
love to take advantage of squads who expect an easy
win when they come to town. Vanderbilt will win this
game in Kentucky!
Miami
Hurricanes @ Maryland Terrapins (-2.5): Loss! I
should have thrown this game out the window because
of the shooting, but I let it roll. The Canes came out
with fury in their hearts. It was a tough game, and
in the end Maryland came out on top, but not by enough
to get me a much needed win.
New
Mexico State Aggies @ Fresno State Bulldogs (-11): LOSS!
The Bulldogs aren't even close to as bad as their record
insists. The Aggies, they're just as bad. New Mexico
won't stat close in this one, as finally the bounces
will play fair with the Bulldogs as they dominate from
1 to 4. Since 1987 the Bulldogs haven't beaten the Aggies
by less than 2 touchdowns.
Oregon
State Beavers (-2) @ UCLA Bruins: Loss!
Washington
State Cougars (-1) @ Arizona State: Loss!
Texas
Tech Red Raiders @ Oklahoma Sooners (-8.5): WIN!
Wake
Forest Demon Deacons (+9) @ Florida State Seminoles:
WIN! "I don't know how the cappers came up
with this number, but honestly, lets look at some game
film. Lets see, yes, that's right, ah, there it is.
The Seminoles haven't beaten any of the Top 5 ACC teams
this season, while their only wins have come against
Miami, Duke, Troy, Rice, and Virginia. The Deacons have
yet to get any street credit from going 8-1 on the season,
with their only loss coming in a close one against Clemson.
Yeah, after review, I'll roll the dice on the Deacons
and 9 freaking points. Unbelievable." It's nice
to pick an upset like this and have it go even better
than ou expected.
Tennessee
Volunteers @ Arkansas Razorbacks (-5.5): WIN! The
Razorbacks haven't lost since an opening whooping put
down by the USC Trojans. You can understand why they
started off kind of slow, they're a team with a new
offense and a freshman quarterback. He'll only get better.
Darren McFadden has been great this season, averaging
over 100 yards per contest, and scoring 11 touchdowns.
The Volunteers are a great group of kids, and they are
undefeated on the road this season, but Arkansas keeps
finding a way to win. Something they'll continue to
do this week at home, where they too are undefeated
thus far.
