(Sorry folks, If I sat out picking Nebraska games I'd have a much better ATS record and I know nothing about Minnesota, I think the spread seems a bit high but I can't make that an official pick.)
Time is short this week folks so I have an abbreviated version of the picks. 4-4 ATS last week. 20-19-1 on the year.
MIZZOU -11.5 IS THE PICK OVER Mississippi. Homecoming started at Mizzou and this should be the best atmospheres for a home game in several years. I might put a mortgage payment on this one except for some piece of trash cheap shotted Kelly Bryant last week. KB says he will play but it is possible Odom is giving some misdirection here.
It is horrible to lose Cale Garrett for the year but this Ole Miss team is very limited on defense and should not be able to keep up on offense even though they have some players there. MIZZOU big 44-23
Last week I picked against IOWA (+4) and heard some arguments (by the way I thought Auburn just seemed to good to be true so I didn't play that game). This week I like the home dog Hawkeyes to win outright.
I'm fading Arkansas on general principle even though they showed up against Texas A&M. I think it's back to reality this week and KENTUCKY (-7) is the pick.
DUKE (-17.5) dropped a heart breaker to Pitt last week but Cutcliffe is a great coach and if motivated they should easily cover over Georgia Tech.
It's really hard to bet a huge underdog, especially against Georgia who really is capable of scoring anyway at any time. Still, I think South Carolina is inclined to battle for the full four quarters. I'll hold my nose and take SOUTH CAROLINA at plus 24.5
I'm going to fade Tennessee as well as Arkansas. It feels like a sucker bet but I'll bite and take MISSISSIPPI STATE (-6.5) as the road favorite even though the Vols did give a decent effort against Georgia.
Talk about holding your nose, I know UNLV (+15) is pretty terrible but I've watched a decent amount of a Vanderbilt offense that looks really bad. I can't figure out how they scored 38 on LSU but I'll take the points here as it's not like Vandy will have a real home field advantage.
I'm sticking with the SEC this week and I was VERY impressed with Florida beating Auburn but I don't think they can keep up with LSU at home at night. Give me LSU (-13.5)
This week's "Under the radar" pick is ARMY (-4.5) who lost to a very good Tulane team. They will bounce back vs WKU this week.
That's all for this week! Good luck to your (non Rebel) team!
