College Football Picks

So Van Tran got me out of bed this morning to talk college football gambling.  And of course this led me to force myself to look at lines and now I am putting 25 “fun units” (dollars) on 3 games.  If I lose I curse Van Tran for dragging me out of bed.  If I win, I’ll let him off with a warning.  The picks are

Central Florida (+34.5) @ Oklahoma

Central Florida is a good program.  Their only three losses are to Southern Miss, East Carolina, and Miami, with two of those on the road.  Back in Vegas last year I would have taken UCF and to cover myself a bit I would have taken the over which is 49.5.  That way the only way you lose both is if Ok wins like 42-0.

Texas A&M @ Colorado (over 57)

I like this because the game is at Colorado, which theoretically means they will be dictating the pace a bit and they have a tendency to be involved in high scoring affairs.  And A&M can put up numbers themselves.

LSU @ Alabama (-7.5)

Only reason I am putting money on this is because it is the game of the week and it will be give me something to entertain myself with while working at City Sports this afternoon.

NFL to follow tomorrow…
