RANDOM STATEMENT SATURDAY: Have you ever been to Watkins Drinkery (free Ad) in South Philly? I have.
We have some games today guys, but zero dogs - sorry Marshawn. Only 4 weeks left in the college football regular season. This is where it gets good. I have kept my promise to each and every one of you to beat Vegas week in and week out. Another Saturday, another check to cash. What can I say? Some kids mow their neighbor’s lawn for side cash, some bums sell drugs. I take the legal route and beat the system from within. Week 9 college football, let’s get into it.
(11) Oklahoma State vs. (22) West Virginia: Over 74.5
Anytime I write about West Virginia I feel like I am always saying something along the lines of “This is going to be a shootout between two of the best offenses in college football”. I think I’m just on to something. Again, this game in Morgantown is going to be a shootout! Will Grier, Billy Grier, William Grier is going to have another successful day in the air with David Sills, Ka’Raun White, and Gary Jennings by his side. But Mason Rudolph and the Cowboys will also be doing their thing out there. It’s going to be a close game. How the spread favors the Cowboys on the road by more than a touchdown is beyond me, but that’s why I’m steering clear of that. Take the over.
Final Score: Oklahoma State 42, West Virginia 35
Texas vs. Baylor: Texas -10.5
Three words: Fuck Matt Rhule.
Final Score: Texas 21, Baylor 9
(14) NC State vs. (9) Notre Dame: NC State +7.5
Don’t get your panties in an uproar Notre Dame fans. The Irish will win this game. But the Wolfpack will cover. NC State’s defense is legit, especially against the run. Josh Adams and Brandon Wimbush, meet Bradley Chubb. This is going to be a gritty game. If you’re looking for a lot of points, you won’t find it in South Bend today. Again, the fighting Irish will get the W, but they won’t enjoy doing so.
Final Score: Notre Dame 23, NC State 20
(4) TCU vs. (25) Iowa State: TCU -6.5
The Horned Frogs just can’t catch a break in Vegas. This line is atrocious. TCU’s defense is great, they held Kansas (yawn) to 21 total yards! Are you kidding me!? Not to put anything against the Cyclones offense, Kyle Kempt has been doing just fine. But they are not going to withstand the Frogs D. And maybe, just maybe, with a blowout win today, Kenny Hill and Texas Christian can wake up America that they are a legit contender (even though they are already the #4 team in the country…)
Final Score: TCU 38, Iowa State 21
(2) Penn State vs. (6) Ohio State: Penn State +7.5
Another disrespectful line here. Vegas is banking on Penn State being effected by a 3:30 crowd in Ohio State. Lol. I am not ruling out a Buckeye victory, but by more then a touchdown? Please. Trace McSorley, Saquan Barkley, Juwan Johnson, Mike Gisecki…. they are going to tear down the Ohio State defense. It will be on the offense to get things done for the Buckeye’s. I’m going to say they will not be able to against a Nittany Lion defense who will be looking to silence the rival crowd in Ohio. What’s round at both ends and hi in the middle? Not a W, that’s for sure.
Final Score: Penn State 28, Ohio State 24
