College Football Betting- Today's Plays of the Week Featuring Hot Girls Eating Bananas

Do you like this story?

So far this year, with my four Five Star Plays, I've gone 3 covers and one loss. That one loss was a half point or Nudge from covering. So I would be 100% if not for a measly Nudge. That's why there's nothing worse than getting beat by the nudge. Hence the stupid name for this stupid website.

This week is the first time in the history of handicapping for me that I have Four Five Star Plays in one week. Now, I might not have another Five Star play for the entire friggin year. Unlike other handicappers, I won't call something a lock of a pick unless it absolutely is. Bettors that subscribe to services get their top pick of the week, every week, regardless of whether or not the handicapper has any confidence in the pick whatsoever. That's what separates me from those guys. And believe me, I follow those so called betting gurus. Most of their Shit is crap.

Anyway, on with the plays.

3 Star Play- Penn State giving 7 at The Illini- Last weeks marquee match up between Iowa and Penn State was a snooze fest. I actually fell asleep during halftime. Out of that game, a lot of people are deciding that Iowa is for real and that Penn State is overrated. But, not so fast. I am actually chalking this one up to a hiccup game for the Nittany. Let's call it a swine flu game. Paterno and his boys now have a very large chip on their shoulder and they're gonna take it out on the over matched Zuckerinos. This game is over fast. Illini might score some points, but their defense is going to give up some major yardage on the ground.

4 Star Play- Virginia Tech giving 17 at Duke- I had the privilege and the pleasure to be on the sidelines at Michie Stadium when Army played Duke two weeks ago. David Cutcliffe and the team are in some serious disarray. They are way, way, way over matched in this one. I wouldn't be surprised if the Beamer ground attack lays up 50 points in this one. The ACC is the Hokies to lose. You can start talking National Championship oppurtunity for them right about now. This one is over early. And keep looking for Duke to not cover for the foreseeable future. They have serious, serious issues.

4 Star Play- Oklahoma giving 7 and a nudge at Miami- The Canes were everyone's darlings seven days ago. And they were talking about the Cane swagger coming back on the arm of String Bean Harris. Miami's a good team. Randy Shannon's got the direction going, but Big Game Bob is already there. Don't give me any shit about Sammy Bradford not playing in this one. Only one stat actually matter in this one, Oklahoma's defense is giving up a measly 1.2 yards per rush. Teams have tried running plays a 101 times against them and they've only given up a 122 yards rushing. That is friggin amazing. Landry "The Mustache" Jones will be just enough to lay up 300 yards passing and 3 TD's, while the Oklahoma Steam Roller Defense shuts down Miami's rushing attack. And that my friend is a recipe for disaster. And by the way, the whole home field advantage thing has never had anything to do with the Canes. They have absolutely no HFA whatsoever. This game might as well be played in Alaska.

4 Star Play- Ar-Kansas giving 1 at Texas A&M- I've been impressed with Mike Sherman and the Aggies this year, but Ryan Mallette is about to become the premier quarterback in the SEC. After this game, everyone will be saying it. He's got a rocket arm, quick release, but above all, he makes great decisions. Aggies secondary is going to get chopped up. The Razorbacks should be favored in this one by at least ten points.
4 Star Play- Houston giving 15 at UTEP- This is peddle to the metal time for Kevin Sumlin and the Cougars. They are simply unstoppable. They're amazing, they're lights out. One game down the stretch they're going to have a serious hiccup and blow the game for a loss, but only one game. If you start making plays, in the same amounts, every week on them for the rest of the season, you're going to come out ahead, easily. UTEP is another team that has no home field advantage. I think they import Mutes to every game from the local community college. Very un-impressed by them this year. Houston is going to be one of those teams that I'm going to be picking each and every week to cover. Right now, they are the Ferrari of college football. Right now.

Bonus Notre Dame Pick of the Week
Remember, if I don't put a star rating on it, don't bet it. This pick is only for those who like to make plays on Notre Dame to cover, if they ever do this year. This week, the Irish are at home giving 12 and a nudge to the Real Upstarts of College Football- The Fighting Sarkisians. Look for the Huskies to run the ball in this one, effectively. But still lose it. Just by how much? That's the question here. 12 and a nudge is a large spread, but I'm going to say Notre Dame covers in this one, but I wouldn't put my money on it, so think twice before you do.

Upset of the Week Pick- This week, Tulane travels to upstate New York to take on Army getting 6 and a nudge. Tulane is flat out awful, but the Cadets are even awful-er. Tulane has lost to two high quality teams so far this year in Tulsa and BYU. Those two would beat up on most collegiate squads. Look for the Green Wave to win this one outright, let alone getting points.

And now, the moment we've all been waiting for. For the first time in the history of Nudgery, there are four Five Star Picks in one week. Four Locks. Think of what you can do with all that money come Monday when you collect from the bookmaker. Maybe take a trip Huh? Huh?

First Five Star- Michigan State giving 3 at home to the Michigan Wolverines- Before this line came out, I thought for sure that the Wolverines would be favored by about six points. Dantonio's Spartans are reeling, trying to find a rushing attack, playing lackluster defense. Three straight losses to Central Michigan, Notre Dame and Wisconsin for crying out loud. Meanwhile on the other side, Michigan and Rich Rod are on a roll. This week is when Michigan's rush defense becomes exposed for what it really is- Cheese-Like. As in the Swiss variety. Filled with holes all over the place. Rich Rod and the boys will make a bowl game, that's almost a certainty. And Tate "The Savior" Forcier is really playing well. But this game is going to be about clock management and ball control. Dantonio's going to put eight or nine in the box and force Tate "The Force" to throw early. Blitz galore in this one. MSU needs this win bad, real bad. Michigan is starting to read the press about them and believe it, and that's bad. They should have lost the ND game but for a couple of real questionable calls, and my Grandma could beat Indiana and she's been dead for ten years. This week, The Wheels Come Off for Rich Rod

Second Five Star Play- Ole Miss traveling to Vanderbilt giving 9 and a nudge. Are you kidding me with this line? Yes Ole Miss lost to South Carolina, but before that, everyone was talking about how friggin great they are. And Vanderbilt, that's an academic institution. They're players were probably attending class or something on Friday. Studying for a Molecular Science test. Snead and Nutt have a field day trying to get back into the top ten with a huge inter-conference win here. Nutt knows a thing or two about the poll voters- They don't watch the games, they only look in the boxscore on Sunday morning while they're eating their cocoa crispies. When they do open the papers on Sunday morning, they'll see that Houston layed up 40 points on a horrible Vandy defense that's giving up 3.9 yards per carry. Big, Big bounce back game for the Rebels.

Third Five Star Play- Georgia Tech giving 6 to Miss St. This is one of those games where the Bulldogs played a great game last week against a highly ranked team in LSU and almost pulled off the upset. Because of that, this line is real low. The only problem, LSU is not supposed to be ranked that high. They're not impressive, see below. Ga. Tecj is averaging over 5 yards per carry. In this game they'll average 7 yards per. And that in a nutshell is the entire play. Ga. Tech starts rolling down hill after this win. Miss. St. is two years away from being able to compete against quality opponents week in and week out. Right now they just don't have it in them.

Fourth Five Star Play- Gawgia giving 3 to LSU. This is the best game of the day by far. Gawgia is a lot better than everyone believes. LSU has some athletes, but they're going to be exposed here. If this game was at LSU, it wouldn't even be a three star play. But the Bulldog faithful are going to play a major role in putting some energy into the stadium. Right now, LSU Defensive Coordinator John Chavis is having some nightmares about A.J. Green. Two hundred yards receiving and two TD's. Richt and the Dogs will have one loss when they travel to the Swamp in a couple of weeks.

That's it. I gotta go. Me and my fellow members of the Urban Meyer Fan Club are going to hold a candle light vigil for Timmy Tebow. He should be out of his coma some time around Combine Day.

See ya sports fans!
