Tons of Games in CFB this weekend
Looking over the games thusfar, I am going to be placing a lot of bets... especially on several homedogs that I like here. In fact I don't think I've ever bet on so many dogs, nor have I seen so many home dogs with a real shot of winning straight up. Here goes my SEVEN GAME list
Florida State -4.5 at Maryland PICK: Maryland +4.5 Maryland has been a tough team all season long, with their only losses coming against a Top 5 West Virginia Team and a squeeky tight loss against a ranked Georgia Tech. Florida State after their big win against Miami has fallen short against Clemson and BC at home...neither of the two are pushovers, but they key loss I believe comes at NC State, who Maryland defeated last week (in a game that was not nearly as close as the final score of 26-20 indicates). Especially at home getting points I like Maryland, I think they can win outright. Michigan State -7.5 at Indiana. PICK: Indiana +7.5 Michigan State needed a huge comeback to defeat an awful Northwestern team and that was their only win in the big 10 on the season. Indiana has won at Illinois and defeated a tough Iowa at home, while Michigan State was defeat by Illinois at home. The Hoosiers may win this outright, but + a TD and a hook with homefield advantage I'll jump on it Miami +5 at Georgia Tech PICK: Georgia Tech -5 Georgia Tech should bounce back from an awful performance in Clemson with a home victory against a struggling Miami team who only managed to beat a winless pathetic Duke team by 5 points last week. Especially at home and bouncing back from an awful performance, Tech should win by at least a TD here. Tennessee -4.5 at South Carolina PICK: Tennessee -4.5 The only Road team that I like this week in CFB is the Vols, a team no one expected to be that good at the start of the season. Interesting Stat: South Carolina has lost 8 straight games to top ten teams. The Vols proved on the road that they can beat a solid (well "solid" I guess) Georgia team in dominating fashion (though it was close until the 2nd half). This same Georgia team shut out South Carolina in South Carolina. I like the Vols with the fairly small spread here. Arizona State Pick Em at Washington PICK: Washington This spread started as another home dog with Arizona being a 2 point favorite but has moved down to a pick em. Washing was a double unit winner for me last week getting 24 points against California in a game they almost won. They are seriously underated in my opinion and Arizona's only conference win has come against a pathetic Stanford team. Though losing, Washington kept it close with Top 5 USC and Ranked Cal, while Arizona State was destroyed by Cal and Oregon. At home I'll take Washington straight up. Washington State +1 at UCLA PICK: UCLA -1 This started out as another home dog as well, with The Bruins getting 2 points, but it has quickly moved 3 points to -1. I think UCLA will be out for blood after their dissapointing last minute loss to Notre Dame last week. All 3 of the Bruins losses have come on the road, and although the Cougars hold a victory on the Road against Oregon State and a home victory against Oregon (who defeated the Bruins), I think UCLA has too much energy for them this time, especially with home field advantage. Apparantly with the spread moving this early in the week already, Vegas thinks so too THURSDAY GAME Clemson -4.5 at Virginia Tech PICK: Virginia Tech +4.5 V Tech has a habbit of spoiling teams seasons when they themselves have already slipped (e.g: 2003 Miami game where they pounced them 30 something to 7 ). In addition V Tech is 10-1 ATS in the last 15 years as a home dog. Clemson has never been a good road team, as they are 8-10 in the past several season on the road. Finally only 4 times in their last 13 Road victories have they won by more than 4 points. Im going with Tech and the points here. Penguin, Omaha, others, feel free to input/ include any of your games you've seen
