I do play a lot of college but usually just follow others or go with my gut and don't post much. Today there are quite a few games that I like.
Georgia +7.5 - I think we will know real early if this is a good bet or not. Alabama excels at getting the lead early and then stepping on their opponent's neck. But they are just not built to come from behind. If GA can open up an early lead they will have the Tide right where they want them. I think whoever wins the 1st quarter wins this game.
FSU -14 - This Seminole team is maddeningly inconsistent but I still feel about this bet because I've yet to hear exactly how Georgia Tech is going to score. The one thing the Noles have been consistently good at this year is stopping the run - and that's the only think Tech knows how to do. I don't know how much State can score, but I suspect that this one is going to be ugly. I'm thinking 31-10, and I'm only giving Tech 10 because I'm assuming State will have at least 1 terrible TO in their own end of the field.
K State -11 - Texas is a mess and until the Baylor game K State was absolutely destroying everyone. I had been holding off on this game because if Oklahoma loses to Baylor this game becomes meaningless but now it doesn't look like TCU is going to pull the upset off so K State will need this game and they should get it handily. This will be the OU/Texas game all over again.
Wisconsin +3 - First of all, Nebraska needed to rally late to beat Wisconsin in Lincoln earlier this year, so there's the revenge factor. Here is Nebraska's results on the road this year: lost at UCLA, lost at Ohio St., 1-pt win at Northwestern on a last minute score, 4-point win at Mich St. - also from a last minute score, 6-point win at Iowa. They are just not the same team outside of Lincoln. Now look at Wisconsin. Sure they have 5 losses on the year, but 4 of them are by 3 points (Oregon St, Nebraska, Mich St, Penn St) and the only one by more than that was a 7-point loss to Ohio St. in overtime. I will happily take 3 points here.
GL everyone!
