Saturday picks

Damn another quick post.

Smooth Mikey G hit me up about 15 minutes ago and said he likes the following early games:

Maryland (-2.5) vs. Minnesota
Ohio (+7) at Cincinnati
Buffalo (-6) at Rutgers
Purdue (+6.5) vs. Boston College

I too like Buffalo -6 on the road at Rutgers.

I also like Pittsburgh and their running game -3 at the rest but struggling North Carolina

Off one of the reddit boards I got the following tips:


Take the OVER in any Texas Tech or Mizzou (or KC Chiefs) game. Printing money.


It's early but I see some value.
Iowa + 3.5 over Wisconsin. I should pass it but Iowa is tough at night, they're getting points. However, Wisconsin is 0-3 ATS and Iowa 3-0 ATS. That should scare anyone to not take Iowa.

Baylor -7.5 over Kansas. The magic runs out.
South Carolina -2.5 at Vandy
Stanford -1 at Oregon


The Texas Tech-OSU over/under has actually went down two points to 76.5 so I'm going to check the weather there. 

I will add onto this post later. 

Early game leans 9/15

So a quick text message to Smooth Mikey G got a pretty short answer and his early picks are:

Miami at Toledo (+12.5)
Hawaii at Army (-6.5)
Florida State at Syracuse (+3.5)

I'm actually with him on Miami. Not so much on the others.

Vanderbilt (+14) seems like a nice play at Notre Dame. I don't trust Vandy's quarterback but I like their running game and defense. I think they can squeeze the ball and shorten the game in South Bend.

As for 3:30 games I like

South Florida (-12.5) vs. Illinois at Soldier Field
LSU at Auburn (-10.5)

So a few ideas for you there. Let's see what happens.

Early Saturday Plays

Lots of feedback on the noon games.

Smooth Mikey G likes Army (-7.5) and Duke (+2.5)

I liked Mississippi State (-9.5) on the road at Kansas State because I think Nick Fitzgerald will beat up that soft Wildcats defense.

But I had a dissenting opinion on Reddit:

"Sharply disagree. Fitzgerald may be rusty with no tune-up and he has to go to Manhattan for an opener. K-State nearly lost to South Dakota but they dominated the yardage. Turnovers were what almost killed them. Take the points. Snyder is a solid home underdog."

As for 3:30. Smooth Mikey G likes Nebraska (-3) and I liked Georgia at -9 but the line has climbed to -10 and I'm having second thoughts.

Nebraska-Colorado over (64.5) seems like a good bet.

Saturday evening plays...

...I finally got in touch with my boy Smooth Mikey G and he was pretty base at first:

"I like FIU, Troy and 'Bama"

Well the Troy game is 13 minutes old so forget that.

FIU (+13) vs. Indiana at 7 p.m.
Alabama (-24.5) vs. Louisville in Orlando at 8 p.m/

On my end I like FCS Nicholls State (+9) to pull the upset on Kansas tonight and I like Akron (+21.5) at Nebraska as well.

Smooth Mikey G said he likes the over (54) in that Nebraska-Akron game.

We should be done for the night but check back just in case.
