Time to poop or get off the pot: College FB edition


For this week's Friday Funds Freezer, you'll note that earlier in the week, picks were suggested. Now it is time to decide which ones are worthy of official pick status. Only Jarod decided to leave his comment in the comments (those of you who keep emailing me your thoughts are sort of missing the point of this format), but I know several of you are following my picks. I intend to not only maintain my success rate, but improve it this week!

You'll notice that some of the earlier looks are gone, and some new games are here. That's what happens when you look at em all week.

BG -3.5 @ EMich Just have faith in the research. I know you don't know who Bowling Green is.

IU -1.5 @ NW This line has moved to 2.5 almost everywhere, so i'm off it. But for the record, I like it a lot at -1.5.

UMich -2.5 @ Wisc I also like the over 46.5 here.

TAMU +18.5 @ Mizzou This has gone to 19.5, and I have decided I just can't play this game either way. DIE Fran, DIE!

GaTech @ Duke +13.5 You guys can haw haw all you want, but the Blue Devils cover this one. I will go even further out on the limb and call this under 46.

Auburn +1 @ UGa This has gone to +2. You bet against Tuberville's SEC road record, I won't. War Eagle!

Kentucky @ Vandy +3.5 This is the best year for the Commodores since... since I've been old enough to love SEC football, I think. I love me some Vanderbilt this week, and I love me some under 57.5 here too.

Texas Tech @ Texas -6.5 We do need villains to make any contest interesting, and these two teams excel at generating hatred. I hate Tech more this week. Horns can hook the raiders by 7.


(Please come to Aggieland, Tommy!)

UVa +3.5 @ Miami Last game in the Orange Bowl? Who cares! Does anything about the recent generation of UM kids suggest they're big fans of tradition, respect, or nostalgia? Ha! The Cavaliers win outright I says, and I also says under 41.5.

UF -6.5 @ SoCar - I'm tempted to say over 59.5, but I'm staying off the totals here. The Ol' Ball Coach losing by 7 is plenty to pick here. Tee-boe has plenty to prove.

KU - 5.5 @ Ok State - You can boil this down to is Kansas 3 points better than Texas? Yes.

FrsSt +17.5 @ Hawaii - Hawaii wins, but not by 17.5 over the Bulldogs. You guys would rather not bet at all than bet on a dog. You can't win playing the favorites all your life, boys!
