FSU @ LVILLE • Fri 7:00pm

FSU +6

-111

Spread

Picked: Oct 4 @ 5:45pm

Analysis

I'm taking FSU early because I think this line keeps going down. This is more of a Louisville fade right now. QB Lincoln Kienholz is dealing with an injury and was limited as a runner against NC State, rushing seven times for just 24 yards. The big issue is the Cardinals' rush defense. Louisville is giving up 156 yards per game. That will be a factor versus FSU. The Seminoles rushed for 281 yards in their 38-7 win over Virginia and are averaging 194 yards a game on the ground. FSU's offense is actually playing well, scoring 30+ in three straight. I expect a tight game here. BetMGM and a couple of other books still have +6. I'd play FSU down to +5.

Analysis

OK, well, this is assuming both No. 1 goalies are in. Got massacred on Thursday when the Mammoth decided to have some fun and basically lie and play a backup I barely heard of. This is why I never go to Utah. I am pretty confident we get both No. 1s here in Joey Daccord and John Gibson. Two meh offenses. In the NHL, always wait for goalie confirmation. Got that sweet reminder ....

Picked: Oct 9 @ 12:56pm

Analysis

Oh how I hate Florida State. That saying I believe was born in Ann Arbor and involved Ohio State, but it's applicable here. I utterly despise the Seminoles but if I thought they would make me money, I would put that aside. Don't think so tonight. Louisville has underachieved but also a bit unlucky: All three losses by 3 points. In the spring on lookahead lines, UofL was -6.5. I'm not gonna mess around with 3.5. No way.

IOWA @ WASH • Fri 9:00pm

WASH

-137

Money Line

Picked: Oct 9 @ 3:33am

Analysis

In my humble opinion, there are five absolutely must-see campuses/sites in college football (including party time): Notre Dame, the Big House, the Shoe, USC at the Coliseum and Nebraska (I know, but they sure take football seriously in Lincoln and they rock after wins). Honorable mention: Gainesville, UCLA (Rose Bowl), Tuscaloosa, East Lansing and UDub. Amazing place Washington's campus. But it should be a typical Iowa game. If the opponent scores 20, it's over. And the Hawkeyes' QB is injured.

IOWAST @ BYU • Fri 10:15pm

BYU -10.5

-105

Spread

Picked: Oct 5 @ 10:00pm

Analysis

Iowa State is 3-2 on the year, with its only loss on the road at Iowa, which beat them 16-13 4 weeks ago. They play an undefeated BYU that is 4-0 straight up and ATS. The reason for the bet is Iowa State's quarterback isn’t Rocco Becht anymore, who transferred with Coach Matt Campbell to Penn State. They got Jaylen Raynor, who spent his first 3 years quarterbacking Arkansas State. In Raynor’s last three games, he's thrown three touchdown passes and four interceptions. He's a running quarterback, but he has only rushed for a 3.6-yard average on 42 attempts. The bet is against Raynor and his expected turnovers in Provo and on BYU.
