What an atrocious week last week. Normally that’s what my week one performance is like, but it came week two. Just disgusting. I’m having really bad luck with my other bets not included in this segment winning. However, every good gambler knows that just means this week if going to be all winners. So let’s get right to it.

Wake Forest vs. Boston College (-6.5) o/u 56

This is an interesting matchup because I don’t think BC should be getting those points at home. The game has been moved up to 5:30 on Thursday due to the hurricane barreling towards North Carolina so that could also have some effect on the game. As all my readers know, Greg Dortch is one of my favorite players in the country. I was on BC last week when the whole world thought UMASS would cover so I’m still high on BC, however, 7 points at home is too heavy.

Pick: Wake Forest +7 (buy the half point)

UAB vs. Tulane (-3.5) o/u 57

UAB is a weird ass team. They dominated Savannah State, 52-0, week one and people were crazy high on them. Then the next week they went out and got spanked by Coastal, 47-24. Tulane on the other hand, played Wake super close week one, but lost in OT, then dominated Nicholls State week two. I think we know exactly what we have with Tulane, but UAB is a wild team. Being on the good side of the key number and being at home means I’m riding with the week one UAB team. I believe they find their level and play a tight one with Tulane.

Pick: UAB +3.5

Vanderbilt @ Notre Dame (-13.5) o/u 51.5

Vanderbilt has played well so far against some bad teams, which is helping keep that number within two scores. But, I have some bad news… Vanderbilt stinks. Notre Dame got a huge win against Michigan and looks very good. I don’t even have much to say about this one, it seems too obvious, which means you should probably fade.

Pick: Notre Dame -13.5

Ole Miss vs. Alabama (-21) o/u 71

This was one of my Game of the Year picks in the preseason. I snagged Ole Miss at +22.5 and I’m glad I did. I would also take it again at +21 if I had to. This is going to be the battle of the Hawaiians. Tua vs. Ta’amu: Winner is the new King of Hawaii. Ole Miss put up SEVENTY-SIX points last week. Obviously Bama has been great, but any team that can score as well as Ole Miss can is a good bet to cover three touchdowns.

Pick: Ole Miss +21

NEW SEGMENT ALERT: FCS BET OF THE WEEK

You can almost always find some great value in FCS games. I want to bring you one a week. (Be Advised: Never bet TOO much on these games. No matter what you think looks great on the board, could be totally wrong because it is the FCS).

Tennessee Tech @ Utah State (-44) o/u 63.5

Let’s roll. First week of the FCS Bet of the Week and it’s only right that we put it on an over. Anytime a spread is within 20 points of a total you have to hit the over. If Vegas thinks Utah State can win by 44 points, then Tennessee Tech only needs to score 10 points for that over to hit, which they have done on the dot the last two weeks. Let’s go Golden Eagles.

Pick: Tennessee Tech/Utah State o63.5

Best of luck this week, folks. We’re making it all back on these picks.
Let’s get rich.
