Thursday Pick: Three Games?

Once again apologies as real work keeps getting in the way of blogging and watching college football. Things should lighten up around the holidays so T&C can look at the bowl games. Three games on TV tonight!

The lines:
Air Force -19.5 @ UNLV
ML is OFF
O/U 56.5
The Pick : Air Force -19.5

Air Force has made a habit of putting up big offensive numbers on bad teams this year – and UNLV is a bad team. AF is doing fine on the road this season and I don’t think it’s going to be a problem to open things up against the Runnin’ Rebels. I would be concerned about a visiting team coming into Vegas for a Thursday night game but I don’t think the Falcons will be distracted. Give up the 19.5 – Air Force by three TDs.

The lines:
UCLA +2 @ Washington
UCLA +110/UW -130
O/U 53
The Pick : Washington -2

So you’re telling me I can pick against UCLA and only give up 2? I’ll take Jake Locker at home.

Georgia State @ Alabama

Also of note, Alabama plays host to Georgia State. Nice I-AA sacrifice for the Crimson Tide. I’m sure Georgia State will get a nice payday traveling to Tuscaloosa in their inaugural season.

10/23 Pick of the Week: Arizona State @ Cal

Freshman Deantre Lewis is averaging 7.2 yards/carry for ASU.

The lines:
Arizona State +3 @ Cal
ML – ASU +135/Cal -155
O/U 53
The Pick : ASU +135

Cal is trying to bounce back from taking a pounding last week at USC and Arizona State is fresh off a road trip to Seattle, where they were able to handle Jake Locker and the Washington Huskies. Don’t let the 3-3 records of these teams fool you, these are both strong football teams.

Thursday Pick: UCLA @ Oregon

Autzen Stadium

Looking to improve on our 3-0 Thursday Night mark…

The lines:
UCLA +25.5 @ Oregon
Moneyline is OFF
O/U 60.5
The Pick : Over 60.5

Thursday Pick: Kansas State @ Kansas

 

Daniel Thomas will be looking to get the Wildcats back on track.

 

There are two games on tonight? Can’t argue with that. T&C is 2-0 in our Thursday night picks this season!

Upon further review, these are not the most interesting football games, but we’ll take a look at Kansas State @ Kansas…

The Lines:
Spread: Kansas State -3 @ Kansas
Moneyline: KSU -150/KU +130
Over/Under: 50.5
The Pick: Kansas State -3

10/9 – What We Learned

 

Edwin Baker shushes the Michigan crowd. This cost 15 yards but was quite enjoyable to watch.

 

4-2 last weekend on our picks, which is a bit rough. An exciting weekend of college football with the former #1, Alabama going down. The important thing for us is that Michigan State pulled out their third-consecutive victory over in-state rival Michigan. What did we learn around the country?
