alright, time for the Week #5 look ahead. not all the games, but some that i've picked out. first week of october! part one (13 games)...
Bama @ Arkansas
Bama off Vandy, with A&M on deck. Hogs off A&M, with Messy on deck. Tide has won L15 in series. LY 42-35 was closest in a while. With this weeks' numbers, I make the Hogs a 13 pt home dog. Prolly too much.
A&M @ Messy
A&M off Hogs, with Bama on deck. Messy off BG, with Hogs next. 8 of L10 in series as SEC have been decided by 10+ pts. Not sure how that happens with these offenses, lol. As of today, I make Messy a 3 pt fav at home.
Kentucky @ Ole Miss
Cats off NIU, with Scary on deck. Ole Miss off Tulsa, with Vandy next. Not much recent history, but L2 games were decided by 1 & 3 pts...both at Tucky, but won by Ole Miss. Make Ole Miss a 6 pt fav by today's numbers. Their homecoming.
LSU @ Auburn
LSU off NM, with Tenny next. Aubbie off Mizzou, with Georgia on deck. Home team is 18-4 SU, 14-7-1 ATS. 12 of L18 decided by 7 pts or less. Dog 6 straight covers in series, and 4 of L5 have been outright upsets. Make Aubbie a 6 pt hm dog as of today.
Rutgers @ Ohio St
RU off Iowa, with Nebby next. tOSU off Wisky, with MSU on deck. Buckeyes 8-0 SU by ave of 42.5 ppg, yet 6-2 ATS. RU has covered the L2 as huge dogs. Anyhow, i make Ohio St a 28 pt fav right now.
Michigan @ Iowa
UM off Maryland, with Indiana next. Iowa of Rutgers, with Illinois on deck. UM 6-7 SU, 7-5-1 ATS since '02...also 4-1 ATS L5. UM destroyed Iowa in the B10 title game LY. Make Iowa a 10 pt home dog in this one, again at today's numbers.
Mich St @ Maryland
MSU off Minny, with Ohio St on deck. Maryland off Michigan, with Purdue next. Spartans have won 4 straight, but 2-2 ATS. Home team 3-1 SU, but 1-3 ATS. I've got this as a pick em as of today.
Illinois @ Wisky
Illy off FCS, with Iowa next. Wisky off Ohio St, with NW on deck. Home team is 4-2, 5-1 ATS. Illy is 0-8 SU, 2-6 ATS in Madison. I make Wisky an 11.5 pt fav here.
Purdue @ Minny
Purdue off FAU, with Maryland next. Minny off MSU, with a bye next. Homecoming for them too. Minny 8-1 SU/6-3 ATS...and won/covered L4 straight. I make Minny a 6 pt fav as of today.
NCST @ Clemson
NCST off UConn, with FSU on deck. Clemson off WF, with BC next. Tigers had won 8 straight in series until LYs double OT loss. Tigers 4-7 ATS vs NCST. I make Clemson a 9 pt fav as of today, but hope it'll be much less. Tbh, I think Clemson is looking ahead to this game. Love NCST, but if there's value, i'm already leaning towards Clemson in this one...after backing Wake against them this week.
Wake @ FSU
WF off Clemson, with Army on deck. FSU off BC, with NCST next. WF won L2 after losing the 7 before that. Visitor lost 4 of L5 in series, which is good for the Noles homecoming. L7 have also gone under. I make FSU a 7 pt fav as of today.
VT @ UNC
VT off WVU, with Pitt next. UNC off ND, with Miami on deck. UNC lost 5 of L6. VT not good, but it's a sandwich spot for the Heels. Visitor in series is 1-4 SU, 0-5 ATS. Also UNC has also won L4 conf home openers. Make the Heels an 8 pt fav as of today, and that's the side I'm leaning towards.
Virginia @ Duke
UVA's offense is a mess, with o-line issues, but they've won the L7 SU/ATS in series. I make Duke a 1 pt fav at home as of today.
