City of Pain

No one said gambling couldn’t have some zest to it. It’s gonna be a good year for football picks around here. College, NFL, shit even high school if I can get some lines.  There are a lot of great games to play this weekend. I can’t wait to lock them all in my sportsbetting.com account, grab some beers, hate people, and win money. Nothing says LOCKS like hot pink.

Louisville (-4) over Uconn – I’ll take the home team, at night, on national TV, against a team they are just as good as.

Syracuse (+15.5) over Pitt - Simply because Pitt is not 15.5 points better than anyone. Even Syracuse.

Clemson (-11.5) over Maryland – Clemson hasn’t played a complete game yet. At some point this season they will have a monster win. My guess is that it happens in this spot. This lines looks a little inflated after Maryland beat Cal…..did anyone realize that Cal was playing at 9am their time that day?

Purdue (-1) over Notre Dame – When this line opened, Notre Dame was a two point favorite. Now they are a one point home underdog.  Joe Tiller’s last season, Notre Dame with an inflated line (which the public apparently devoured), and you have yourself a nice win.

Navy (+16) over Wake Forest – This game just has that feel to it. Wake with the look-ahead to Clemson next week causes them to play down to Navy’s level. Ball control here. Take the points.

Illinois (+16) over Penn State – Am I the only asshole in America who thinks Illinois gives Penn State a good game? I know it’s a night game, a “white-out”, and all that, but Illinois is not a bad team. Penn State has played four nobodys, and especially no team with a Juice Williams on it. I don’t know, call me crazy here but this line seems high to me……we don’t know enough about Penn State just yet.

Bills (-8) over Rams – Because if you don’t bet against the Rams every week you’re theoretically losing money.

Redskins (+11.5) over Cowboys – Way too many points in a rivalry game. The Cowboys are a good team, but they aren’t going to win by double digits every week. This is the NFL.  Redskins play well in Dallas.
