Good week, dangerous week. Good week, dangerous week.
We shuttle.
The stability sheet was within the crimson final weekend, because of each UNLV and Wisconsin slipping out of “Cover Town” within the fourth quarter. It’s merely the worst solution to lose a loser.
I’ve three school soccer video games and three NFL bets this weekend.
Remember, this house is not even the proper place for 1,000,000 picks or five-team parlays. These will all the time be the video games I really like essentially the most.
Let’s go to work.
2024 document: (19-20, -2.9 items)
Louisville @No. 11 Clemson (-10.5, O/U 62)
Clemson has been destroying inferior groups for weeks, and now faces a Louisville offense that may go up and down the sector. The whole tells us that each groups will tango, and I really consider that Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough will be capable of reap the benefits of a really questionable Clemson secondary. The Tigers actually have their eyes on an ACC Championship look down the highway, however they higher be careful towards Jeff Brohm’s feisty workforce.
PICK: Louisville (+10.5) will lose by lower than 10.5 factors or win outright
Duke @No.5 Miami (-20, O/U 54.5)
Manny Diaz’s Duke protection meets Miami’s high-octane offense. It’s straightforward to have a look at Miami’s scores and lean “Over,” however Diaz goes to throw a variety of coverages to Canes QB Cam Ward, and I do not anticipate essentially the most gifted workforce within the ACC to do what he needs. It’s a lot simpler to gradual a recreation down than pace it up, and let’s be clear: Duke has no probability in a shootout. The Blue Devils will do every thing of their energy to damage every thing.
SELECTION: Under 54.5 factors scored by each groups mixed
No. 13 Indiana (-7.5, O/U 53) @ Michigan State
Let me begin with a disclaimer: I’ve not wager towards Indiana as soon as this season. I really like that Hooisers workforce, their coach and their quarterback, however there is a time and place for every thing. This line is solely disrespectful to Michigan State and I consider Jonathan Smith may have his workforce prepared. After all, Sparty has confronted Ohio State, Oregon, Iowa and Michigan within the final 4 video games. They are undoubtedly extra battle examined than Indiana and that is essential to me.
PICK: Michigan State (+7.5) loses by lower than 7.5 factors or wins outright
No. 4 Ohio State vs. No. 3 Penn State Big Noon Kickoff
Chicago Bears @ Arizona Cardinals (-1, O/U 44.5)
Did you understand Bears coach Matt Eberflus has by no means received a Sunday highway recreation? It’s pathetic and hysterical on the similar time, and whereas a nugget like that’s by no means sufficient to put a wager, it would not damage. Arizona has 4 losses this season, all to playoff groups. The Cardinals have been defeated by the Bills, Commanders and Lions – all first-place groups – and by a 6-2 Packers workforce. Arizona’s lead is large and Chicago’s offensive line is an issue.
PICK: Cardinals (-1) win by greater than 1 level
Denver Broncos @ Baltimore Crows (-9.5, U/U 46.5)
The Broncos workforce took some cash in the midst of the week after studies emerged of MVP Lamar Jackson lacking apply and the market fell to Ravens -7.5. Well, have a look at the road now. It’s humorous as a result of after I emailed these picks Friday morning, the road was Baltimore -8. It is now -9.5. I’d nonetheless wager something underneath 10 as a result of I merely will not purchase Denver. Give them credit score for successful a variety of video games with a rookie quarterback, however it is a huge step up within the competitors.
PICK: Ravens (-9.5) win by greater than 9.5 factors
PICK: Ravens -5.5 1st half
