College Football Week 9

Boise st (-4) @ UNLV, Friday 10:30pm - PICK UNLV +4

This line keeps creeping up from 2.5 to 4, and I know all eyes are on Ashton Jeanty. There is a clear reason why he is in the lead for the Heisman, even though I am holding a 60-1 Travis Hunter ticket and still believe he should be given the award.. but thats for another blog. I love UNLV in this spot, because everyone is talking about Jeanty, its an in conference game with both teams that can be fighting for their conference championship. Home dogs, Boise st being ranked and relevant, Rebels chip on their shoulder after losing to Cuse', losing their top 25 ranking. Give me THE SPOILER, UNLV +4

Notre Dame (-13) vs NAVY - Noon kickoff at Metlife stadium - PICK Navy +13

I really like Navy in this one. They have been playing so well, their offense is great and can see them really wearing down this Notre Dame team on the defensive side as I do not trust Riley Leonard. I see them keeping it close the whole game, but can see them playing spoiler to a Notre dame team that is fighting for a playoff spot after that NIU loss. I think this a one score, even field goal type game with Navy covering

Illinois @ Oregon (-22.5) - 3:30 - PICK Illinois +22.5

I personally thought Oregon was going to stumble a little after beating the most talented team in the country, THE Ohio State University. Oregon has really found its momentum after a ton of questions the first few weeks. That being said, this Illinois team knows what to expect, they have a defense that can make some plays against the Ducks offense and I really think this line is blown up way to much. This is the post hangover game for Oregon, its just one week late. Take the points as Oregon will win by 10-16, but not the 22.5.

Missouri @ Alabama (-17.5) - 3:30 PICK BAMA -17 *buy half point

Complete opposite of what I wrote for the Oregon game. In no world is Bama coming out of this week with 3 loses. Missouri should not be in the top 25, they are not fun to watch, and this is a game where Milroe will have 5 total touchdowns and possibly 75+ yards running. They do not let up on the gas and route the Tigers by 3 TDs AT LEAST. Roll Tide

Penn St (-6.5) @ Wisconsin - 7:30 PICK Wisconsin +6.5

Keep it simple stupid. Top 5 team in the country has a top 5 opponent coming to their house.. the following week. The biggest look ahead / let down spot ever. If I up going into the late slate, you bet your ass I am taking Wisco ML along with the points. Wisco will be rocking, night game with a top 5 team coming into town? They havent played anyone but have not let lesser opponents stick around, and I think they have found themselves set up to give the PSU boys a run for their money, last field goal to win it type game. Give me the points

LSU @ Texas AM (-1.5) 7:30pm - PICK LSU ML

My favorite play of the day. I LOVE LSU (Per my national championship value blog) This will launch them into full SEC / Natty convo. They see the door is open for them, sitting back and letting Bama / Texas / Georgia / Tennessee beat up on each other. Them having 2 loses on the year will make it so tough for them to be in the playoff, and I weirdly am putting my trust in Brian Kelly which is insane for me to say. As long as LSU limits the turnovers, I see them going into Aggieland and handling business 30-24.
