Mississippi State +2.5 at Auburn

I watched LSU vs. both teams and to me there's no question that MSU is the superior team. Auburn's defense is terrible against a mobile QB who can run the read option, and Dak Prescott is one of the best. He's also a good passer. I don't see how Auburn's defense can win this matchup. Defensively, MSU is strong up front. Unlike Auburn, when LSU refused to throw and tried to control the ball solely with the run, MSU was able to stop them. The weakness is in the secondary, but a freshman first-time starting Sean White seems unlikely to be able to exploit it. I figure the great MSU front will also be coming after him to try to rattle him, and I think they succeed. Everything I've seen from both teams suggests not only a State cover and straight up win, but a solid and convincing one. I think Bully dines well on Tiger meat Saturday to the tune of double digits. The pick is MSU +2.5 over Auburn

The late Auburn FG cut it to single digits, but I will take credit for this one.

quote:
LSU -24 at Syracuse

I think LSU is good enough to cover this, but I'm sensing something worrying to me. It's not about schemes or matchups (although for what it's worth, Syracuse's strength on defense is vs. the run, which is LSU's only demonstrated weapon so far), but instead it's for psychological reasons that I am worried. Granted, we're favored by a lot, but I haven't seen this level of overconfidence surrounding a game in a while. I know the fans' and media's attitude doesn't necessarily match the teams', but I think they do more often than people think. All week, LSU has been basking in the glory of the Auburn blowout and Fournette's coming out party. Even Syracuse media and fans are just praying for no injuries and to keep the margin somewhat respectable. I think LSU goes into this game overconfident and Syracuse plays like a team with nothing to lose, and this one is a lot closer than people expect. I think LSU gets the win straight up, but I very much doubt they cover a 24-point spread. A win by 10-14 points seems much more likely to me. The pick is Syracuse +24 over LSU.

I don't see how I could have been more right about this one.

quote:
Texas A&M -7 vs. Arkansas

Arkansas is hurting on defense right now, especially against a fast-paced passing offense, which is right up A&M's alley. I think A&M puts up big offensive numbers in this one. Aggy is a little shaky on defense, but Arkansas doesn't have the offense to win a shootout, or even keep it close. The pick is Texas A&M -7 over Arkansas.

OK, I technically got a push, but I was off on this one.

quote:
Tennessee -1 at Florida

Florida looks shaky, and Tennessee has already played a good game against a strong opponent. In spite of the heartbreaking loss to OU, I think they are still emotionally intact and ready to prove something in this, their first big game since that loss. I'm not crazy about UT's defense, but also am not thrilled with UF's offense. I think Tennessee comes out on a mission and wins this one. The pick is Tennessee -1 over Florida.

What in the hell does Tennessee have to do to win this game? They outplayed UF all day but gave up the big play at the end. There's got to be some kind of voodoo ceremony that can break this curse.

Interesting day for me..

Bowling Green -1.5 W
Arkansas -7.5 W
TCU -6.5 L
UMASS +29L
UGA/Southern U/74 W
ODU/APP ST O/54 L
Auburn -1 L
Oregon -10 L
Arizona St +4.5 L
Missouri +3 L

As you can see I was down pretty big.. So I got desperate and put everything I had on a San Jose ST 2nd half ML -155 ( A team that ive never seen play a down of football). Won it so I ended up only losing 7 bucks on the day. As another poster said I have to be more disciplined and cut down my number of plays next week

Bama @ UGA next weekend. I believe this will be the first time Alabama has not been favored since Dec. 6, 2009. 71 games. Old record was FSU from 1997-2007 (54 games). Pretty incredible.

5-0, would've been 6-0 if totals had been available before I left Vegas Wednesday. And I parlayed them all together at 20-1. I'll take it...
