November 13th Picks

Ohio State (-18) vs Penn State.

The Buckeyes abuse teams at the Shoe and I think a young Penn State team is about to feel the wrath today. This is about the time of year that Ohio State starts to look really good so they will be a national title favorite heading into next year, only to fall short again.

Oregon/Cal over 58

The Ducks are scary good and score scary fast. The least amount of points they have put up all year is 42 and 5 of their 6 games have gone over. Cal has only played two games at home but have put up 85 points in those two games. This one almost looks too good to be true.

Baltimore +1 vs. Atlanta

This trend of Matty Ice being beaten only once at home is due to lose and I think this is the week. Playing an underrated Tampa Bay team last week with a talented young quarterback Atlanta never gave up the lead as a surging Tampa team tried to take the lead while Roddy White was sidelined during the 2nd and 3rd quarter. I look for Rowdy Roddy to be pulling an Andre Johnson this week and only being out there for decoy purposes.

The Ravens with Ed Reed look like a different defense. Ray Rice is really starting to hit stride and Flacco has been throwing screens to him more and more each week. This offense clicks when they get the screen game going. I was impressed the way the Ravens manhandled the dolphins this past week regardless of the spit allegations. Anyone who looks like Channing Crowder deserves to be spit on anyway.

Some other lines drawing my interest...

Tampa Bay -6.5 vs. Carolina
-as much as I love Tony Pike, no one can save this team

Tennessee -1 at Miami
-Maybe Randy Moss wasn't the problem in Minnesota and Brad Childress should look himself in the mirror. I like Moss replacing Kenny Britt as the deep man as Tennessee continues to try to establish themselves atop the AFC south

New York -13.5 vs. Dallas
-Lets be honest, Dallas is a joke... They would be happy holding the Giants to 38 points.

Road Warriers

We are forgetting about home field advantage and taking 3 roadies today:

Iowa -4 at Michigan
Sorry Robinson that front 4 is WAY to big for you to continually get loose on. I look for the Hawkeyes to ware the Wolverines down and cover on the road

Texas +9 at Nebraska
Texas is a young talented team with the best saftey in the country that will keep Martinez in Check. Texas esaly covers and challanges for the win.

Ohio State -4 at Wisconsin
The Buckeys are a only giving up 4 points to are team they are better than in every facet of the game. Not to mention they are great on the road in the big 10. Prior has a big day and the Buckeye win by 2 TDs.

Happy Keeneland!!!

The best time of the year in the bluegrass... KEENELAND TIME!!!

As you are betting on the ponies, play these teams and add to your bankroll.

Notre Dame (-6) over Pitt

Arkansas (-6) over Texas A&M

Florida (-6.5) over LSU

I refuse to do it but I think it may be smart money to bet against UK today. Auburn (-6)

Da Bears.....Suck!

Teams coming off Monday Night Football wins at home and then faced a road opponent went 1-8 last season. This is not good news for an extremely over rated bears team playing a desperate giants team. I fully expect Chicago to come out flat and the Giants to play a desperate team. I will give up the -3.5 points and root for New York

Vegas could not possibly set the line low enough for the Steelers Ravens game. This is be field position battle, because there is no way Charlie Batch and Joe Flacco move the ball on these solid defenses. I will take the UNDER on the 34.5 line and look for a 12 to 9 game.

St. Louis has been a surprise team this season, and with the play of their rookie quarterback they have a belief they can be in any game. Seattle has been extremely lucky to get their 2 wins. The have been dominated in time of possession every game but have played extremely well in special teams. I will take St. Louis +2 at home and hope they can keep the Seahawk special teams in check.

Oct 2nd piiiiicks

Great golf, great horse racing and great football on all day. I don't plan on leaving the couch all afternoon. Why not make some money while being lazy? Here are some winners...


Notre Dame (-2.5) over Boston College

Oklahoma (-3.5) over Texas

Tennessee (+16.5) over LSU

Louisville (-6) over Arkansas St

Baby steps back.

After a terrible week last weekend, I will look to try to get back into the winning mode. After looking over the matchups and some line movements, I was excited over 1 game in particular and wanting to share. I really like Clemson this weekend as they host the Hurricanse. This is the 3rd straight road game for Miami and they play host to hated rival, Florida State next weekend. Clemson looked good against Auburn, then last weekend Auburn validated Clemsons performance by beating a talented South Carolina team. Look for Miami to let down a little this weekend as they will be looking ahead to Florida State.

Clemson +3
Northwestern -5 ( fading a bad Minnesota team)
Iowa-7
Michigan -10.5
Stanford +7
