We had a bit of a recovery last week, going 5-3 ATS so we are sitting at 37-35-1 on the year ATS. This is one of the most exciting sets of games we will see this year but I am afraid some of the "big" games do not appeal to me from a betting perspective. The obvious example is I do not know what to do with LSU vs. Alabama to be honest.
On to this week's games
MIZZOU (+17) at Georgia, it is sounding less likely that Kelly Bryant will play Saturday, so if he does I can't imagine him having great mobility. While UGA -17 appears to be a good play I am going to take an even more obvious play I don't have to root against! UNDER 48 IS THE OFFICIAL PICK HERE.
I really like this MISSISSIPPI offense and I enjoyed watching them battle at Auburn. I think they easily cover the 28 against New Mexico State.
I was completely wrong about UCF (-17) when they traveled to Temple but I think TULSA is a strong enough team that I will take the points at home.
I think Purdue (+2) is a bit overvalued after the Nebraska win. I know NORTHWESTERN is really not good on offense but I like them to win at home here and cover.
Along those lines, I think TCU (+2.5) is a very live home dog and they end Baylor's undefeated run.
I've been high on IOWA STATE (+14.5) all year and if they somehow pull the upset over OU, they are still alive to win the Big 12 (I have a very small pizza money ticket on that outcome!). I think they can run the ball effectively here and keep it close.
Money keeps coming in on Texas (-7) hosting K-State. These people haven't watched the same K-State team I've been watching, Texas is still really banged up and I think the 'Cats will be VERY successful running the ball here and will win outright. TAKE KANSAS STATE
I guess I feel obligated to pick the BIG GAME. It sounds like the general public is betting heavy on LSU, so I like to zig when most folks zag. Give me ALABAMA (-6.5) in a game I am rather confused on.
Hopefully after that game Ol' Mizzou shocks the world and re-enters the SEC East championship talk. I'm not optimistic but always hopeful!
That's all for this week! Good luck to your (non Bulldog) team!
