Pickin' & Grinnin' - Today's College Games
Mates,
You know the routine, pick the games with the points. Home team is designated with the '@' (at) sign and the team favored to win is always listed first. Some of the college games of note include:
@ ohio (YTO) 15 1/2 MSU
Neb 2 1/2 @ Minny
Oklahoma St 7 @ Iowa St. (Enigma team, wrapped in a mystery)
Michigan 15 @ Maryland
@ Wisconsin 11 1/2 Iowa (no love for beating ohio last week?)
N. D. 3 1/2 Miami (YTM, and yes, Catholics v. convicts)
Some potentially very entertaining football, not the least of which will be ohio v. MSU. ND v. Miami could be fun too.
Have a great fall, football Saturday. Amazing as it may seem, only 2 more regular season weeks after this one.

In a shocker, Urbs actually gets play calls that make f'n sense and "gives the damn ball" to Dobbins and Weber.
Fake Heisman QB candidate game manages.
tOSU 35 Sparty 13

Like the way you think.

Iowa regresses to the mean. Bucky Badger rolls.
Michigan covers by 7+
Like ND to cover plus. Underrated squad by all but the Comm'tee
Bama wins a tight one. Missy State in that one.

Thanks for starting the thread this week - I was busy later than usual tonight :). Alright, I went 5-1 last week ATS from the picks I posted here, so hoping to keep up the momentum:
Here's my "best 6" I got money on:
Baylor +9 (home) vs Texas tech
Syacruse pick'em (home) vs Wake forest
Arkansas St -11 (away) vs South Alabama
Utah +1. (home) vs Washington St
Oklahoma St -7 (+105) (away) vs Iowa St
Wisconsin -11.5 (home) vs Iowa
notable spreads (dont have $ on them) - Michigan is 17 point favorites and OSU is 15.5 favorites over Sparty currently on Bovada
I'll admit that Sparty with the points seems like the way one should chose ... but maybe too obvious? ;)

I like the Bucknuts to take care of business
this time against D'san'Antonio and his Spartinas
O$U ... 34
Sparty... 24

since it's a 15 1/2 point spread, then you are actually saying that ohio won't take care of business since you only have them winning by 10.
that game is intriguing for many reasons. first, give dantonio his due, the guy has had his team show up big in some big games. second, despite ohio being crushed in iowa, lo and behold, they aren't just favored, they are favored by 15+ points. i don't think there is any sport more volatile in terms of the transitive principal as is college football. lastly, our rooting interest is somewhere between ohio and of course meteor.

81% of public money is on Bama and yet the line has moved down in Bama's favor by 1.5. Sharps know something.
November 11th, 2017 at 7:33 AM ^
I really want to bet Bama but going to wait until close to kickoff in case there's an injury/suspension TBA. This can't just be the LB injuries, right?

Ohio because somebody has to finally hit some of those screamingly open receivers and JT won't be terrible two weeks in a row
Nebraska based on PJ's gameplan last week and chart drawing
Iowa State, Official Season Ruiners of 2017
Iowa covers but loses
Miami wins: Richt is a heck of a coach and they just keep winning
M covers against Maryland because you can't smuggle a Wolverine through an airport by dressing it as a burger (also the defense and running game)

Someone was saying yesterday that most the money on OSU was tied up in a handful of large bets, hence some of the lack of movement on the line. Actually, money aside, I can't believe that OSU will be that terrible two weeks in a go but I do believe this game could get competitive like it normally does.
As for the Iowa game, one wonders if they blew their wad last week and are possibly on the verge of a letdown at Wisconsin.

For Iowa, not only will there likely be that let down, but they're also a much different team at home than on the road. They seem to pull at least one big upset a year at home--not so much on the road.

Does anyone have money on the Oklahoma- TCU ? I️ would lean on Oklahoma at -6.5 if betting on that .

Kept poking the bear(s). They were rewarded for their efforts with a trip to Bolivia. I believe they got the group discount.

Win Sparty!!!!!
November 11th, 2017 at 1:09 PM ^
we need sparty to lose and they are obliging, 28-0 with 9 minutes still left in the 2nd quarter. keeps our very slim hopes alive for a B10 playoff game.
November 11th, 2017 at 3:26 PM ^
Only reason was Inman said he/she would delete acct. if Staee won. Other than that I am on board with ya buddy. Enjoy the W this evening my friend. :)

Wouldn't shock me to see them win straight up. I don't know how Dantonio fields these ok-looking teams that somehow bog down these games against big opponents and just basically choke them out. MSU doesn't appear to do anything overly well yet is still in a great position to actually win the Big Ten. I just don't know how Dantonio does it
