Finally a winning week ATS last week at 4-3 but we are only 6-11 ATS on the year.
Well, the Missouri game went about as we predicted last week. I still believe MU will have a chance to have a fairly successful year, some of our future home opponents appear to be somewhat vulnerable and Kentucky has a very well defined identity and a solid team. I don't pick FCS games but I expect MU to win tomorrow by about 40 points. I have not bothered looking at the point spread.
One future MU home opponent are the Florida Gators who are hosting Alabama as a 14.5 point underdog. I think the Gators have taken a big step back on offense and I can't see them keeping this close. I'll be playing BAMA first half but my official pick will be minus 14.5 on the Tide.
It's hard not to be impressed with the Arkansas performance last week but bettors tend to overreact to these things early in the year. This is strickly a line play but I will take GEORGIA SOUTHERN plus 23.5 as the line has moved by about a touchdown.
I think New Mexico is a very poor team and Texas A&M will figure some things out on offense after the QB injury last week. Let's lay the 29.5 with the Aggies.
It's going to be an exciting environment in Manhattan, Kansas as the K-State Wildcats return home to play future first round draft pick Carson Strong and the Nevada Wolfpack. The injury to Skylar Thompson is a pretty big setback for K-State and while Chris Klieman is an excellent coach, they are facing far more solid team than most realize. I'll take the Wolfpack -2.
Auburn has played absolutely horrible opposition and this line keeps falling. I'm happy to lay the five points on PENN STATE who should have a ridiculous home field advantage.
I am impressed with the Central Michigan lines on both side of the football and the coaching. At times they were too conservative against MU but that helped keep the Tigers from covering. I think 19.5 points is WAY too many for an LSU team that punted seven times last week and had only 17 first downs against an FCS opponent.
I watched enough of Oklahoma State to see a team that is not up to their usual standards on offense. Yet the money is coming in on them. Give me BOISE STATE (-3) to win by a couple of TD's.
My Nebraska friends would probably like to get my thoughts on the return of the Game of the Century. I'd just be guessing but I guess I would lay the points and take OU if I had to but that's not an official pick.
That's all for this week! Good luck to your (non Redhawk) team!
