We’re continuing our run in the black around here, finishing last week 29-23. It’s a +3.39u week and we’re happy to take it. Andy’s heating up and he’s historically been the guy who consistently wins each week in NCAAF. The rest of us (generously lumping myself in here) tend to have highs and lows. So despite a slow start, Andy’s got himself on the right side of .500 and won’t be looking back. Tail him is what I’m trying to say.
Also, as an aside, if you don’t listen to the podcast, you’re missing out on so much fun. We discussed Diego Pavia’s winning streak against Hugh Freeze, which spans four(!!) programs as well as going off on ridiculous tangents including most popular professions among serial killers. I can’t even explain how we got there. It’s a lot of fun and we try to make them quick for ya! You can find us on your podcast platform of choice. Please rate, review, subscribe, and then tell us how great we are even if you hate it. Thanks.
Let’s get into some picks!
Consensus Picks
A reminder that there is football every day of the week for the next two months, so apologies in advance if some of these games have already been played by the time you read this.
Last week’s consensus plays went 6-5, moving to 35-30 on the season. You’re up about 1.85 units if you’ve been betting these religiously. This week, there are 6 consensus picks, one of which already happened and lost, so it’s a good time to get in I say!
The one midweek consensus play this week was New Mexico St +9 which lost. So let’s jump right into the Saturday slate:
Duke +21 at Miami (LOCK ALERT! All 4 of us are on this one. It’s a lock!)
Pitt +7.5 at SMU
Oklahoma St +3 vs Arizona St
Wyoming +7.5 at New Mexico
Mississippi St -18 vs UMass
For the full list of plays, we’ve got them listed out below.
