It’s a great day to wet the beak. Make yourself that nice leftover turkey sandwich, and settle for some college football, it’s rivalry week.

I dropped the ball on the Egg Bowl, I loved the Rebels in that game but I forgot it was being played on Thanksgiving and I had all my attention in the NFL. It was the first game circled on my sheet this week. Of course, they won outright in a game they were 15 point dogs.

Friday:

Commonwealth Cup: Virgina Tech @ Virginia (+7.5)

Virginia will win this outright I think.

Go with the Cavaliers and the points here.

Miami @ Pitt: When I first looked at this line it was 14 and I was all about Pitt, but now as I’m writing this it’s been bet down as low as 11.5 in some places and the best you can get is 13. I don’t like it as much now.

Mizzou @ Arkansas (+9.5) This is another line I was all over when I looked at my sheet Tuesday. Except it was Mizzou -11.5 then and it’s been bet down to -9.5. Do I like missing out on 2 whole points? No, but I’m not getting scared of this one either. Arkansas is at home and they are not going to a bowl game, this is it for them. I expect them to give it there all in the last game.

Watch this game: South Florida @ Central Florida.

Exciting playmaker on both sides, Central Florida going for an undefeated season. This game means more to the CFB landscape than Florida vs FSU this year. Both of these teams will factor heavily in bowl season so get eyes on these teams now.

Saturday:

We like to bet the Big Games and this Week they are HUGE.

Ohio State @ Michigan (+13):

GO BLUE! We want the Wolverines and the points. Home Dog in a rivalry game.

Iron Bowl: Alabama @ Auburn (+4.5): 

Same basic strategy, take the home dog with the points. I’m pumped for this game!

Boise State @ Fresno State (+7): 

This line shocked me, I thought Fresno would be a slight FAVORITE at home or at least a pk but they are a full TD underdogs at home? Am I reading this wrong it’s super early on the west coast still and I haven’t had my coffee? We love Jeff Tedford’s Fresno State Squad in this one. Bet it Money line.

Buck the trend.

I’m gonna pick one road team. It weirds me out to have a list of picks that are ALL home underdogs. let’s go with Arizona (-2) @ Arizona State. We are just gonna keep riding Khalil Tate.
