We are again above .500 and nearly excessive.
How about that Indiana group, although?
Sheesh.
I pale the Hoosiers for the primary time all season, and it was enjoyable to carry a +7.5 Michigan State ticket for about 20 minutes, earlier than Indiana flexed its muscular tissues in East Lansing.
Anyway, I’ve three school soccer video games and two NFL bets this weekend. Remember, this house will not be the place for one million picks or five-team parlays. These will at all times be the video games I like essentially the most.
Let’s go to work.
2024 Record: (23-22, -1.1 items)
Florida @No.5 Texas (-22.5, O/U 47.5)
Despite what Gators coach Billy Napier says, I do not anticipate quarterback DJ Lagway to play after struggling a hamstring harm in opposition to Georgia. It’s one factor to coach, it is one other factor to play on Saturday. This is a superb place for Texas on an off week to flex their muscular tissues and rating a ton of factors. High spreads and low totals are typically unhealthy information for underdogs.
PICK: Texas (-22.5) wins by greater than 22.5 factors
Michigan @No. 8 Indiana (-14.5, O/U 49.5)
Wow, that is an excellent unfold. Michigan was a two-touchdown favourite in the summertime and now Indiana is a two-touchdown favourite. Crazy, is not it? Indiana’s offense will get a lot of the credit score for the group’s success, however I imagine the Hoosiers’ protection deserves extra prospers. Michigan ought to have hassle shifting the ball and I believe we’re in for a recreation within the low 40s.
SELECTION: Under 49.5 factors scored by each groups mixed
No. 9 BYU (-3, U/U 40.5) @ Utah
Enough about BYU already. Las Vegas prognosticator Kenny White instructed me he ranked the Cougars because the twenty eighth finest group within the nation in his rankings. This could also be a low low on the finish of the day, however we noticed a powerful return from the Utes at +4 and +3.5. Utah’s season hasn’t gone precisely as anticipated, however they’re nonetheless a really bodily group that’s troublesome to beat at dwelling.
PICK: Utah (+3) will lose by lower than 3 factors or win outright
What occurs if Drake Maye beats Caleb Williams in Bears-Patriots?
Patriots @ Bears (-6, O/U 38.5)
The Bears are excellent at beating unhealthy groups. Just ask the Titans, Panthers, Jaguars and Rams with out Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Defensive star Montez Sweat is probably going again for Chicago, which is problematic for a New England offense that does not have a whole lot of expertise. I loved seeing sharp NFL punter Andy Molitor get near Chicago -9. Lay the wooden.
PICK: Bears (-6) win by greater than 6 factors
Dolphins @ Rams (-1, U/U 50)
#Ramily will get louder after incomes an additional time win in opposition to Seattle. Luckily for Los Angeles, Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith threw two interceptions within the purple zone and one was returned for 103 yards. Lucky, fortunate, fortunate. Miami’s offense is infinitely higher with Tua Tagovailoa underneath heart and I believe the Rams’ D might be divvied up on Monday.
CHOOSE: Delfini (+1) will lose by lower than 1 level or win outright
