When did we become a gambling blog?

I really wanted to do a MAC game, but there is only one conference game this weekend with a total of three MAC conference games on national TV next Tuesday/Wednesday. But we can't have a playoff because of missed classes?

I don't care what the Tuesday night line is, take Buffalo and give the points to Miami.

Also, I really want to bet on SC, but that line opened at 43 and continues to go up (44.5 right now)

Here are my picks, remember all of them are with play money since I work in college sports and that gambling is illegal:

Missouri (-20) at Baylor -- Baylor cannot score that many points.

West Virginia (-4) at Connecticut -- West Virginia dumptrucks Connecticut every year

Auburn (+6.5) at Mississippi -- A loss by Auburn and they have five losses with Georgia and Alabama still on the schedule. That makes bowling difficult.

Tulsa (-7) at Arkansas -- Arkansas cannot keep up with Tulsa's offense

Bonus NFL Parlay
Minnesota (-4.5) vs. Houston
Denver (-3) vs. Miami
Indianapolis (-6) vs. New England

And Bill, you are already 0-for-1

A horrible debut

3 INTs for Grothe, who even when he made good plays, was just damn lucky that they weren't turnovers.

I expected the USF D to play much better against a Cincy QB with one arm.

A poor performance.

Who knew Baylor would hang with Mizzou, Tulsa would play like C-USA vs. the SEC, and Auburn's season would resemble Michigan. Thank God for that dumptrucking by West Virginia.

I think the most depressing thing that happened in the day's games was that Baylor actually stayed within 59 points of Missouri after Colorado's JV performance last week.
