Really like the Nebraska under. But I don’t love the cover. They can’t stop anyone. Sure, maybe they play inspired the first half - but Oklahoma should pull away in the second half.
Love BYU to cover
Im on Kansas to win outright.

Yeah there are times when a coach gets fired and the team rallies in the next game. I don’t see that for this game. Nebraska is a dumpster fire. They are going to lay down.
September 17th, 2022 at 7:15 AM ^
Agreed. I grabbed OU -14.5 when the line came out and thought I was so clever. Expected the line to go up, can’t believe it dropped this much.
I get the rally thing. But I’m also staring at “over 7 yards per rush and pass attempt” against a team that literally just learned how to throw the ball forward.

Nebraska technically has the longest streak in the nation among P5 teams of not-losing by double digits. (Last time was November 21, 2020 vs Illinois.) But that was under Frost, so IDK

Sparty going down. Go purple Huskies!
September 16th, 2022 at 5:55 PM ^
Sparty gonna play their disrespeKt card with this one
September 16th, 2022 at 5:14 PM ^
I went 2-3 last week ---- so maybe the play is to "fade" these picks. :-)
Wyoming +16.5 vs Air Force (Friday night)
K-State -14 vs Tulane
Michigan State +3.5 at Washington
Houston -9.5 vs Kansas
U-La-La -11 at Rice
September 16th, 2022 at 5:37 PM ^
I like Cal +12.5 vs ND. Pretty sure the Irish are headed for the tank.
Taking the under 66.5 Oklahoma @ Nebraska
September 16th, 2022 at 5:48 PM ^
Cal for the win! Stay in Hell Notre Dame!
September 16th, 2022 at 5:48 PM ^
Kansas-Houston OVER is Smooth Jimmy's Lock of the Week
September 16th, 2022 at 6:37 PM ^
Washington -3.5, solely because it would enhance my enjoyment of a Sparty loss.
September 16th, 2022 at 6:38 PM ^
@Nebraska +11 this is Huskers all in game. Could easily back door cover.
@Syracuse -1 Purdue
Kansas +250 (small) @Houston
@South Carolina +25 Georgia - Pride game. Line not moving despite public money on Georgia.
September 16th, 2022 at 6:39 PM ^
I don’t like Michigan to cover the spread against Hawaii.
September 16th, 2022 at 8:02 PM ^
Husky Stadium is loud and raucous. I was there for the Michigan loss way back in 2001. This will be a tough test for MSU.
September 16th, 2022 at 10:38 PM ^
3-2 last week and for the season.
Ohio St. -7 First Quarter over Toledo - a lot of juice on this one at -150 but they want to prove their offense is good and I think JSN is back.
Washington St. -9.5 First Half over Colorado St. - fading CSU until it bites me.
BYU +3.5 over Oregon - I am nervous about this one. Everyone and their brother seems to be on BYU and they have traveled a lot. They are grown ass physical men though and have played some tough football already. Like getting the points.
Western Kentucky +6.5 over Indiana - I don’t think Indiana is good
Georgia Tech under 23.5 team total points
Troy +13.5 over App St. - Troy has experienced players and thinking App St. will have a little letdown after the Texas A&M upset.
September 16th, 2022 at 10:42 PM ^
I bet that MSU will beat Washington and that Purdue will beat Syracuse.
September 16th, 2022 at 11:25 PM ^
Anyone know why UAB would have such a big spread over Georgia Southern?
September 16th, 2022 at 11:53 PM ^
take oklahoma, give the 11 points. bet the farm
syracuse is a 1.5 pt favorite over purdue. interesting game. go boilermakers?
rutgers an 18 pt fav on the road over temple. hear the axe knights roar!
PSU a 2.5 pt. fav over auburn at auburn. i think the tigers cover.
UW a 3.5 pt fav over sparty. hate to say it, but i think sparty wins and it's not close. hopefully woefully wrong about that.
