ESPN Handicapper Picks--Week 8

I am now seeing 53.5

Crazy. I guess the other way of looking at it this high for a Cal game? Lol. I dunno, Portland st the only team who hasn’t scored at least 20 on huskies, then again Colorado hadn’t held anyone under 38 until Cal came to town and scored 13! Like I was saying, I really got no freaking clue.
 
GL Tahoe
Think I agree with LSU
I see you are on UCLA and Kan State, Yanks. Lean the same way and will likely add both or add them in a parlay a little later when my mind wakes up a little more and start working better.

Got any feel for a side in Okla St/Texas?
 
Posting Phil Steele picks. Of course he has an FCC game

S Diego State -7
Boise State +2
Wisconsin -2
Western Carolina -7
Alabama -21
Kansas State +3x

I lean to Cal in this one. Cal is usually money in this spot, but things are so unsettled in Berkeley I'm not sure it's wise to rely on them to live up to form

What about Miss State/Bama. You and I bet Miss State more than anyone. How you feel about them going into Bama?

I didn’t know wtf to do with that spread? I don’t think it a good spot for messy, I havnt had a chance to look at all the later games props and team totals and such. I’m assuming messy st team total around 20-21? I think I like under that. Bama struggles with some passing games are w qbs who push ball down the field, Rogers/leach scheme is mostly dink amd dunk, saban d’s havnt had any problems w the air raid. Plus I think bama gonna just run run run messy st d into the ground so think clock be moving when bama is driving. I don’t see much chance in hell bama gives up 3 tds today. I dunno if they w scoring more than 35ish tho, don’t feel real great saying where bama scoring total be why I don’t like ats. More I talk bout more I like messy st team total under.
 
Added 6-point Teaser with two team laying big points--Ohio State -23/Wake Forest-14

I'll probably just bet a couple of parlays today. I don't feel confident in any straight bets today

Just checked by phone and the wind is already roaring in Oklahoma and Texas

Thanks for posting. I missed it, but had already decided to bet whoever David picked.

Just added UCLA +6x to the parlay with Oklahoma State +6x
 
Number keep dropping on Texas Tech/W Virginia. Side now down to 4.5 or 5, total now down to 64

I like Texas Tech here and can't find any injury that's causing the line to drop. Maybe it's the wind
