Time keeps running short for me! It's Thursday afternoon and I still haven't finished (or started) posting these picks. That's not good. What is good news is that I went 4-3 ATS last week which puts us at 23-22 on the year. Now, we are still losing some virtual money due to the juice but we've had some decent weeks lately. (For those interested I am 41-10 on straight up picks).
Again, time is wasting so on to the games!
MTSU (+7) at MIZZOU - I LOVED this game when it opned at 4 but smart money (I think) keeps pushing the line up higher and higher. MU has looked pretty awful these last couple weeks but they have played elite defenses. Vanderbilt ran all over these guys and despite possibly having an NFL QB, I think the Tigers are a little better than some may think. The Eastern Michigan blowout win factors in a bit here as a comparison. Note I have been AWFUL on picking MU games this year so beware!
We need this win obviously and I don't see the odds of MU winning all four of these upcoming games as very good at all but let's take them one at a time.
PICK MIZZOU 45-28
Oklahoma State (-23.5) at ku - This line keeps dropping which is a surprise to me. Gundy likes to run up the score and the TCU game was kind of more about TCU being asleep IMO.
OKIE STATE is the pick 45-7
Massachusetts (+20.5) at South Carolina - USC (east) has a really underwhelming offense so when I get this many points against a team that probably can score ten or more I take it.
Pick UMASS who loses 27-10
Purdue (+24) at Nebraska - Call this a look ahead to Wisconsin game for the Huskers and I noticed how hard Purdue (who may be fired up for the new coach) played in a hopeless situation to make that Iowa spread closer than it should have been.
PICK PURDUE who loses 34-17
Wisconsin (+3.5) at Iowa - Everyone wants to bury Iowa after that NDSU loss but it's Wisconsin that has to focus after that huge disappointment last week. Give me the live home dog.
IOWA WINS 21-16
TCU (+6) at West Virginia - I keep picking against the Mountaineers and I keep missing BUT I think they are getting a little too much love for a great defensive performance against Tech. TCU is another live dog here.
PICK TCU although they lose 28-27
Colorado State (+2) at UNLV - CSU really competed well at Boise State and they seem to be playing well these past few weeks. UNLV lost to IDAHO at home so the home field advantage can't be much. Honestly, this one is kind of a hunch.
PICK CSU to win 31-23
That's all for this week! Good luck to your (non Blue Raider) team!
