Would you look at that? A perfect Week 10 for Joey Digest last Saturday? I believed, no, I knew. You guys doubted me, that’s on you. I’m sure you’re thinking about doubling down on your fade mentality too after such a great week. That’s fine. I know the true degenerates out there are sipping champagne this morning thanks to last week. Those are the people I’m here for. Let’s ride the hot hand and keep this train rolling. Week 11.
Maryland @ (1) Ohio State: Ohio State -42
I know the spread is large. But if you’ve been following along this season, you know that we’ve been riding this wave for over a month. I will not stop until we hit the sand. For what it’s worth, this line was at 46.5 when I first looked at it on Wednesday, so – credit to me for waiting to tell you to take it lower.
Final Score: Ohio State 57, Maryland 13
East Carolina @ (25) SMU: SMU -21.5
East Carolina stinks. They’re absolutely putrid. I once left for a week vacation a couple years ago, forgetting to take the trash that had already rotten fruits and leftover chicken in it. When I came home, the scent was one I will never forget. That’s what reminds me of this East Carolina team. SMU has been a solid squad in the American Conference this season. They are putting up a good amount of points each game, an average of 46 at home. ECU is only averaging 17 on the road. Not only do those averages cover the line above, but I think it’ll be even more dramatic then that – SMU needs to steamroll for a chance at the AAC Championship game.
Final Score: SMU 52, East Carolina 21
Purdue @ Northwestern: Away Team Total Points Over 18.5
What? What is this line? Am I getting suckered into this for how obvious it looks? Northwestern is giving up just over 29 points per game on their own turf. That number may be skewed because of Ohio State hanging brain with 52 points, but that doesn’t scare me. In fact, they have only given up less than 20 points 1 out of their 4 home games. I’ll take those chances. Plus, they stink out loud anyway. The Boilermakers aren’t much better, but they at least have some semblance of an offense.
Final Score: Purdue 24, Northwestern 17
Georgia Southern @ Troy: Georgia Southern -3
I have absolutely no reason betting on this game, but I saw the line and it made me curious. I’ve at least heard a little noise about Georgia Southern this season. But Troy? Not a peep. I looked at their strength of schedules, records, and margins and I just don’t see how Georgia Southern doesn’t take this game to the house. Do I know anything about these teams other than what my simple google search provided? Absolutely not. I’m not a liar – this game could probably go either way just because of the ‘no name’ factor. But you know what, I haven’t had a ‘no name’ game all season. We’re due, fuck it.
Final Score: Georgia Southern 31, Troy 27
(5) Clemson @ NC State: Clemson -33.5
I’m not sure if you degenerates followed the news that came out this week from the playoff committee, but it was pretty big. Undefeated Clemson, the reigning national champs, were dropped to the 5th spot behind currently ranked #4 Penn State. That’s a big deal in how the committee is now viewing strength of schedule compared to previous years when determining the top 4 playoff ranks. With that said, Clemson has not only been mad online all week, but something tells me they have been breathing smoke in the weight room all week as well. I can feel it in my plums, they are going to come into Carter-Finley Stadium and make a mockery of the Wolfpack to show the college football world they’re not going anywhere.
Final Score: Clemson 48, NC State 10
Running Record: (27-21-2)
