NCAA Week 4
Alright back with some money making picks for week 4 of the college football schedule.
Let's start in Atlanta where Georgia Tech will host NC State. Looks like year 3 under Jim O'Brien will be the turning point for the Wolfpack who have been impressive with 2 straight SU and ATS wins vs Central Florida and Cincinnati. On the other hand the Yellow Jackets have been inconsistent with an unexplainable straight up loss to Kansas 2 weeks ago.
NC State Jr QB Russel Wilson has 56 TD passes against only 12 interceptions. NC State run defense good enough to get the job done.
This is our "dog of the week" and we like NC State (+8.5) to win straight up vs Tech!
Next the Georgia Bulldogs travel to Mississippi State to take on the other Bulldogs. Both teams 0-2 in conference play and in must win situations. We like Mark Richt to rally the troops and get back on track here. Georgia is 9-0 SU since 1978 in this series and I think they will make it 10.
Take Georgia (PK) over Mississippi State
Next up Southern Miss -3.5 at La-Tech. Southern Miss opened as a 6.5 point favorite in this game and has seen that number fall to just 3.5. Must be a La-Tech alumni meeting in Vegas this week because this one makes no sense. The techsters got lit up in the second half vs Navy last week while Southern Miss was very impressive in a victory over Cincinnati.
We like Southern Miss (-3.5) to keep it rolling as Tech continues to adjust to a new coach and new system.
Finally UNC travels to New Jersey to take on Rutgers. UNC in a world of hurt at 0-2 and still waiting for news on at least 8 suspended players. Despite this the Heels have competed against 2 solid opponents and had a chance to win both games. Meanwhile Rutgers has played inferior opposition and yet has been on the losing side of the stats in both games.
UNC (-2) in a must win game to salvage their season wins at Rutgers.
Other games we like:
Texas has gone from a 21 point favorite to 16 this week. People are over reacting to the UCLA win over Houston last week. Remember they got beat by Stanford at home 35 - 0!
Longhorns (-16)
Purdue is getting good value at home only having to give 11.5 to Toledo.
Take the Boilermakers (-11.5)
Rice is still the darling of bettors after they covered vs Texas to open the season. This is giving great value, Baylor should be favoured by 10 - 12 points in most power rankings and only are giving 7.5.
We will ride the Bears (-7.5)
Good luck to all! NFL picks to come tomorrow.
Jdawg is out!
