re: Official Week 13 NCAAF Bet Thread

My picks through the Friday games...

Bowling Green -22.5
Texas Tech - ML
Marshall +10.5
Pitt -6
Kent St. @ Akron U41.5
Troy vs Georgia St. U60.5
Missouri @ Arkansas U45.5
Iowa @ Nebraska O57.5
Tulsa -6.5

Texas -1

Fading that garbage Texas Tech defense. Moo St will be a play for me as well. Inconsistent Ole miss will be fat and happy after killing LSU, Dak's last home game...

I kind of like Iowa too, and the bonus if I take them is that I won't even be that pissed if I lose.

Northwestern looks interesting as well.

I can see Bama as a game where a lot of folks outsmart themselves and end up taking auburn and the points. At 13 that's fricking stupid. Bama is really really really good at football. I'm actually inclined to lay off the spread either way, but I do hope the line stays low because that means the ML will stay low as well. And Bama ain't losing to Auburn this year. Wouldn't happen if they played 20 times.

I have no opinion whatsoever on FSU, Stanford, or Ohio State, except that I hate Florida with every fiber of my being, so go Team Dalvin.

I am going heavy on bama if under 20 pt spread.

Auburn may stop bama on defense every now and then, but even IF that happened, Auburn has no offense.

I've lived it this year. We are terrible. This will be a 35-7 game. I would not be surprised if we didn't score

I like Florida.
I think Ala/Barn is right at 14, not touching.
Thoughts on Nebraska as a home dog?

I've watched just about every FL/FSU game this year (have degrees from both). FSU is the better team. UF's OL is hot garbage (on par with FSU), but FSU has a healthy Dalvin Cook. I expect Cook to get 20-30 carries.

Well, you could say FSU has the better team, or you could just say they have Dalvin Cook.

Also huge news for anyone leaning FL:

Defensive tackle Caleb Brantley "should be back. I put him on the probable sheet.
Defensive lineman Taven Bryan "will probably be out."
Center Cameron Dillard, "with a leg (injury)," is "probably questionable."
Offensive lineman Martez Ivey "should be highly questionable," with Florida likely to know more later on Monday.
Defensive lineman Joey Ivie is "probably questionable to doubtful." "We'll see if he can get through this week," McElwain said.
Linebacker Antonio Morrison "would probably be probable right now." "We'll see as the week goes on," McElwain added.
Wide receiver Brandon Powell is injured "on his foot."
Defensive lineman Jordan Sherit was mentioned with no specifics on status.
Offensive tackle David Sharpe is "probably ... uh, I don't know, questionable?"

+ Bullard (probably their best player) is hurt and another of their DL starters is out

Books are going to need Auburn in a big way.

Why?

Cook is gonna fvck Florida up.

I like BG but that's a lot of points on the road.

What about Northern Illinois -13 at home vs Ohio?
