Earlier in the week, I let you guys in on some of the weekday gambling secrets. Now, I take a look at the lines for the weekend and highlight the games in which I believe we can make a little money on.
Michigan @ Wisconsin (-7.5) 11:00 am CT
Pick: Michigan (+7.5)
Born and raised in Madison, WI, I went to my first Badger game when I was two weeks old. If I know Wisconsin like I should, Wisconsin will not cover on Saturday. Weather is supposed to be 41 degrees with a mix of snow and rain. That makes this game one dimensional with both teams not being able to pass the ball. It will result in a low scoring game because of two stout defenses in gritty weather.
Michigan 10 Wisconsin 14
Cincinnati (-3 1/2) @ ECU 11:00 am CT
Pick: Cincinnati (-3 1/2)
Man, do I love betting against ECU. I know both teams are very irrelevant in the college football landscape, but ECU has given up 197 points in their last 5 games. That is atrocious. Although they are not great themselves, Cincinnati has given teams issues and I believe they should put points on ECU. Bearcats by double digits.
Cincinnati 38 ECU 28
Iowa State (-9 1/2) @ Baylor 1:30 pm CT
Pick: Iowa State (-9 1/2)
Iowa State is on a two game slide, but a 4 point loss at West Virginia and a brutal 7 point loss to Oklahoma State last week should not have Iowa State only a 9 1/2 point favorite against Baylor. Iowa State should come out hot and steamroll the limp Baylor Bears. Cyclones bury Bears.
Iowa State 42 Baylor 20
Utah @ Washington (-17 1/2) 9:30 pm CT
Pick: Utah (+17 1/2)
Utah has taken a couple on the chin in the past 5, but with both teams coming off tough losses last week, this should be a lot closer than 17 1/2. Utah can score, averaging 29 points a game, and I think they will be able to keep up with Jake Browning and Washington’s offense. They won’t win, but a 1 and a half score game is in the realm of real possibilities.
Utah 38 Washington 48
