This Week's College Football Betting Picks- With Hot Sorority Chicks
Do you like this story?
Let's face it, we all gamble to make money for one thing and one thing only, Beer. And why do we feel the need to drink so much beer? So we can get up the courage to try and chat it up with a fine sorority chick at one of these parties. So this week I figured I'd combine the two, money making from the gambling picks, with a little motivation from the college coeds.
This week see's two five star plays again, much like the first week of the season. I got a couple of four star plays that would have been boosted up if the line was just a smidgen lower.
So without further ado let's get on to the picks.
3 Star- Indiana getting 19 and a nudge as they travel into the Big House to play the resurgent Wolverines. But are they really that resurgent? They beat up a Western Michigan team that didn't have a pulse in the whole game, and if it wasn't for the Big Ten officials throwing the flag for holding in the Notre Dame game, Tate Forcier would never have been in Sports Illustrated. Notre Dame is horrible anyway. Charlie Weis will kindly be asked to exit the campus in the next couple of weeks. The whole problem with that is removing his portable meat locker from his office. That's going to be a Herculian task. But I digress. Indiana is not winning this game. They simply can't beat Michigan, but they're gonna cover. Why? Cause they have their running game going right now, and Michigan is going to be exposed for the rest of the season by their lack of a rush defense. Take the Hoosiers and the points.
3 Star- LSU giving 14 at Miss. State- The Bulldogs are headed there, they just haven't seen a defense like LSU yet. Look for Bayoux Bengals Defensive Genius John Chavis to dial up rushes up the middle all day. The spread option of the Bulldogs is going to get blown up behind center. LSU will keep this game close only cause they know they'll have it in hand and rely on their rushing attack way too much. That's the reason for the 3 Star play. While you're at it, jump on the Under at 44 and a nudge. Make that another 3 Star Play
4 Star Penn State giving 10 at home against Iowa-I know what the pundits are saying, upset alert, look out Nittany, Iowa's defensive line is playing great. Yeah, you could keep they're offensive line. Penn State is gonna be jacked for this game. Playing at home at night in front of a national audience. This is their chance to impress the voters. They are going to destroy the Iowan Hawks. Look out for Evan Royster, he should be good for two hundred yards in this one. Iowa is hurting, especially in their ground game, and their about to be exposed. The Happy Valley faithful will be good for at least seven extra points with the noise they'll be generating. I got news for everyone, Penn State has the easiest road to the National Championship with Ohio State not being impressive. They'll jump up in the polls next week with Ole Miss going down.
4 Star Texas giving 34 to UTEP- Has anyone else seen UTEP play this year, they're horrible. Mack Brown and Colt McCoy know that this week is an oppurtunity for them to put up gaudy numbers against a horrible defense. You think Mack isn't worrying about the polls after what happened to them last year? You're out of your mind if you don't think that that will go into every decision when laying the pipe to weaker opponents. This is an oppurtunity to lay it on. This would have been an easy Five Star play if the line was closer to 28, but 34 is definitely do-able.
Stay Away Play of the Week- Miami/VaTech in a pick em. Man, the odds makers really got this line right. A lot of people are jumping up and down about The U since they've been beating ranked opponents since the beginning of the season. But traveling up to Blacksburg is going to be a real test for a still young Hurricanes team. This will be the Marquee match up of the day, and since, that means it's going to be real close, in either direction. SO stay away from laying money down and just enjoy the football!
Gratuitous Notre Dame Pick of the Week- We have a lot of ND faithful out there who ask me to handicap the games, whether I want to or not. So if your new to the Patented Nudge System don't make a play on any ND games unless I add a star to the pick. This week, no star. ND has to travel a couple of hours and play their in state rivals (sic) Purdue. With the loss of Super Receiver Michael Floyd, and the injury status of RB Armando Allen still in question, this game features a pretty low spread of ND giving 8. Purdue has impressed with their running game so far. And ND has been a huge disappointment in my eyes. ND is going to rely on their rushing game big time in this one. The score should be pretty close heading into the locker room at half time. I see ND pulling ahead in the third and never looking back. If you have to make a play on this one, take ND and give the points, but don't say I never told you not to do it, you degenerates
The Late Night Play of the Week- We all do it. We put action on the games during the day, and when the late night games come around you're looking to put some money down on teams you're really not too sure about. This week you have a four star play on the eight o'clock game in Penn State/Iowa, but if that's not enough for you, put some cabbage on The Real Resurgents, The Washington Huskies. The Huskies are traveling to the Tree to take on Jimmy Harbaughs getting 8. The Huskies are building back their program the way it should be rebuilt, offensive line play and a rushing attack. They were for real when they beat up USC the other day. I know, Aaron Corp stinks and Matt "The Cali Kid" didn't play. But their D still chewed up a pretty good rushing attack. Ohio State couldn't do that.
Now here they are, those little gems of solid gold we like to call the FIVE STAR PICKS. At the moment, I'm a little pressed for time, some Hot Model party I have to go to. Ah, the life of a successful handicapper. So I'll make it short and sweet. Thank me later.
Florida giving 23 to Kentucky- Urban Meyer was flat out embarrassed by that Tennessee game, and he doesn't like to have egg on his face. All of a sudden everyone is talking about Florida being vulnerable to a tough defense. And Urban has a lot to prove after that remark about his players being sick with the flu. They're gonna run up the score on this one.
Minnesota pick em at Northwestern- Minnesota is for real, Northwestern is hurting and I got a model at my front door. If you need more than that, sorry. Take the Gophers in this one.
See ya Sports Fans. How do you say "I Like that short skirt in Russian"?
