Another 2-3 week. Listen, we’re finding our grove here. 4-6 overall to start. Quick math says we’re under 50%, but we’ve only had 10 picks. My degenerate response? Double down with a 10 pick card. There is another factor to weigh in with this decision being that of my location and activities for today’s slate. Bachelor party hub at the Live Casino - shoutout to Ginger.
I cannot wait for the day ahead. What more could you ask for? Beers, gambling, sports, gambling, beers, and what I’m sure will be a fine steak dinner at the world famous Delilah’s. Sign me up!
In all seriousness I absolutely love the card today. I couldn’t help but add picks when reading through the lines during my morning workout. And what I mean by workout is dooing the doo. Baking a loaf. Liberating the brown trout. There’s nothing like the clarity you have in those moments to simply pick winners. Let’s get to it.
(10) Notre Dame @ NC State: Notre Dame -7
The first real test for the Irish? Some might say. But to those people I would retort with ‘did you see the Wolfpack against UConn?’. Struggle bus city - Notre Dame is leaps and bounds better at least offensively. A touchdown isn’t enough to scare me away.
Final Score: Notre Dame 32, NC State 23
(12) Utah @ Baylor: Utah -7.5
Last I checked, Baylor's program was in shambles (an opening loss to Texas State, sheeeeeesh). And Utah just smacked up on Florida. Don’t question it.
Final Score: Utah 31, Baylor 21
Nebraska @ (22) Colorado: Under 57.5
Colorado is hot in the streets right now, and only 2.5 point favorites. I’m of the belief that’s a trap and a half. But I refuse to take Nebraska outright here. Instead let's lean on a potential ‘coming down to earth’ moment for the Buffalo offense that, according to this line, isn’t expected to blow the doors off the Cornhuskers. And can you imagine Nebraska scoring more than 4 touchdowns? You can’t.
Final Score: Colorado 28, Nebraska 27
(20) Ole Miss @ (24) Tulane: Tulane +7
The Green Wave brought back some important pieces in the trenches this season and that’s where games are won. Patrick Jenkins gonna eat Jaxson Dart for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Take the points.
Final Score: Ole Miss 38, Tulane 32
SMU @ (18) Oklahoma: Over 68.5
Points, points, points. And then some more points.
Final Score: Oklahoma 42, SMU 35
(11) Texas @ (3) Alabama: Texas +7
You’re such a boner if you bet against Texas this early in the season. You’re a fraud college football fan if you do. Until proven otherwise, Texas is back.
Final Score: Texas 32, Alabama 28
Stanford @ (6) USC: Over 69.5
I told you last week, just calling it as I see it.
Final Score: USC 57, Stanford 24
Auburn @ Cal: Auburn -5.5
Fuck it, War Eagle. Cal can't even find a home for next season and they want to prove something against an SEC squad? It just means more - I'll take my chances.
Final Score: Auburn 40, Cal 28
Oklahoma State @ Arizona State: Oklahoma State -3.5
Both these teams are bad, but who is worse? Listen to your gut. For a 1030 kickoff when I will surely be too drunk to care - we’re goin with the Cowboys.
Final Score: Oklahoma State 28, Arizona State 24
Running Record: (200-167-7)
EDITORS NOTE: THE TENTH PICK
I totally forgot to add my 10th pick in before publishing this, but we have plenty of time for this one...
Temple @ Rutgers: Rutgers -8
Temple fucking STINKS!
Final Score: Rutgers 42, Temple 21
