Overall Record: 6-6
Best Bets:
1) Tulane +14 @ Ole Miss: Gave this one out 4 days ago with the anticipation of a big line move and we got that. Hopefully you got in on this at that time, if not it can still be played under 14, but it’s less value. I think Tulane keeps this more than close. They’re a rare double digit live dog.
2) Duke -3 vs NC State: Duke is the far better team, despite the fact that they come into this game 1-2 and NC State comes in 3-0. NC State could easily have 2 losses, and they’ve played a much easier schedule. Lay the 3 with Duke
3) Florida +8.5 @ Miami: We lost with Florida last week in a game they absolutely should’ve won outright, and failed to even cover because DJ Lagway threw 5 picks. Even with the 5 picks, they had a drive in the 4th quarter, in LSU territory needing just a FG to cover the number. This is a much easier environment to play in, and Miami as a whole is less talented than LSU, and we’re catching a bigger number. I love the Gators here. If Lagway takes care of the ball they’re a live dog, and I would actually sprinkle some on the moneyline.
4) North Texas ML (-110) @ Army: I love North Texas in this spot. Army is way down this year, and this number opened with the wrong team favored but it got bet through the zero and now NT is favored. Army is getting respect in the number because of an upset of Kansas State two weeks ago, but that K-State win looks unimpressive. The Wildcats could easily be 0-4 and nearly lost outright to an FCS team in North Dakota. Take North Texas on the moneyline (lay it up to -129)
5) East Carolina +7 vs. BYU: Night game at East Carolina, weird things happen. BYU hasn’t played a soul offensively. I don’t see how ECU is catching this many points. BYU’s QB can’t throw the ball downfield, and they are going to have trouble covering a full TD. ECU has a shot to win this game outright.
All Official Picks: Tulane +14, Duke -3, Florida +8.5, North Texas -110 (ML), East Carolina +7
All Plays: 2-Stars
