ESPN Handicappers Picks--Week 11

TahoeLegend

Pretty much a regular
Bear switched to all favorites, a first for him. Four of Steve's five picks are favorites, a first for him. Bear, Steve, and Phil all picked Ohio State. SVP in the only one going with Michigan State. Steve had his chance to drop the Notre Dame pick live on Sports Center if he thought Book being out was reason to change, but didn't mention it.

(Four Units)
South Florida at Cincinnati—Cincinnati -14
Adding two picks. Both lines moved my way. aTm was -13 this morning, is now -11x. Georgia Tech was -4 when I went to bed last night, is now -3. No injuries so I guess the Sharps see it differently than I do. Fine with me.
(Two Units)
Georgia Tech -3
Texas A&M -11x

(Parlay, one half unit) Syracuse -20x/Fresno State -2x
Saturday
(Parlay, one half unit)
Okla/Oklahoma St over 79/Cinn/USF over 53
Okla/Okla State over 79
…second half open
Added three picks, all one unit:
Kansas +10x
Cincinnati/USF over 53
(another one where the sharps are going against me)
Pitt -3
Bad weather at Boston tonight—wind chill mid-20s, wind 18-20 mph, gusts to 30—so I have a slight lean to BC. Don’t know if I’ll pull the trigger. Lean to N Dame. My mind's trying to talk me into betting Texas Tech +. I'll think about all three for a while.
(One Unit)
Miami at Georgia Tech—Georgia Tech pick

Lean to Kansas +, but weather could be a factor. Wind chill 15 degrees and wind to 18 mph so going to check the weather tomorrow before I bet that one. Lean to Iowa State, but don’t like that current number. Lean to Cincinnati/USF over, but that’s a night game so will sleep on it.

Good luck to all.
 
BOL Tahoe, I don't understand the GT line drop. I played it earlier in the week and tempted to go back for more.
 
I'm tempted to go back for more also Tim. I don't fear Perry as a QB.

Besides confirming coach Marc richt is a fraud, last weeks weather negated any analysis of Miami football. GT dbacks are a giant weakness. Weather will be fine for Miami to sling.

For sure, gt aggro blitz style will lead to many big play opps, both ways but the U will be able to showcase

Miami dline can get hyped if they guess right for a while
 
Can't resist. Another unit on Georgia Tech pick. Also got second half of a two team parlay open. Had Oklahoma over 79. If I don't find a team in the later games I'll carry it over.
