  • Week 3 was a down one we went 9-12 out of 21 games. I was unable to finish the column and place my bets before I could get them in. SO more games is answer this week.

    The 3 most interesting games coming up Duke at Kansas 9n FS1 both are 3-0 and this is not a college basketball game either. Then we have two undefeated top 25 teams with 5 Clemson at 21 Wake forest on ABC. Last we have 7th Ranked USC at Oregon state who is also 3-0. On the Pac-12 network which is hard to get without some extended sports package which is part of the downfall of the PAC-12 Network.

    (5)Clemson at (21)Wake Forest +7.0. I’m picking Wake because I want them to win. Pick: Wake Forest. Home field advantage but they have the smallest stadium in the money Conf.

    Iowa St. vs (17)Baylor +3. Baylor are still possible Big 12 champs and Iowa St. are not Iowa St. is not a tough place to play. Pick: Baylor.

    Duke at Kansas -7.5. My favorite new Kansas steamrolling the BIG-10. Kansas.

    Kent St at (1) Georgia -45.5. Pick:Georgia I cant believe the line isn’t -65.

    Missouri at Auburn -7. Bryan Harsin is coaching for his job. and Missouri is not very good and I think a win by a TD is not to much of a reach. Pick: Auburn.

    TCU at SMU +2. the iron skillet is a great rivalry. I liek SMU because they are home. Pick: SMU.

    Notre Dame at North Carolina -1.5. UNC is trash at defense and its the one thing notre dame is great at. Pick: Notre Dame.

    Middle Tenn St. at (25)Miami -26.5. Miami in a landslide. Pick: Miami.

    Minnesota at Michigan St. +3. Pick Minnesota. The offensive performance was lacking from Mich St.

    (20)Florida at (11)Tennessee -10.5. Tennessee will put up teh most points and will outscore Florida who are a year away from really being a top 10 ten. Pick Tennessee.

    (22)Texas at Texas Tech -6.5. Texas tech is mid. Texas is back baby This game is an easy cover even with the small rivalry between these two schools with Texas leaving to the SEC. Pick: Texas.

    Indiana at Cincinnati -16.5. Pick: Cinncy. Indiana is not good and Cinncy still is

    James Madison at Appalachian State -7. Great matchup between 2 schools will both have winning records. Pick App ST.

    (15)Oregon at Washington St +6.5. Pick: Washington St Oregon is good but I dont think they cover on the road the pull out close one for team that has great home field advantage.

    No. Illinois at (8)Kentucky -25.5. No. Illinois has dropped a few games they could have won Kentucky looks like the only team is the SEC east who will give Georgia an actual competitive game. Pick: Kentucky

    Kansas St at (6) Oklahoma -13. Sooner will roll Kansas St is a solid team but Oklahoma is better 13 isn’t alot for them to cover. Pick: Oklahoma

    (7) USC at Oregon St +6.5. Oregon st is good team and USC is having their first real road test in Corvalis against the Beavers who will be ready for this with chance to knock off a new Big 10 . winning is what matters and I think USC may be looking past the Beavers who have beaten Boise St an very good Fresno team in Fresno. Pick: Oregon St.

    https://podcastaddict.com/episode/144647949 via @PodcastAddict

    We break 7 NCAA fames and Ace makes his picks and Ant And Ace discuss The donovan mitchell trade and the NFL thirsday Kickoffs game.

  • Nebraksa -11 @ Northwestern easy pick here Nebraska. Nebraksa has the better tapent and bigger online and d-line.

    Vanderbilt @ Hawai’i +9.5 pick Hawai’i. I think they will be prepares and with a former star in timmy chnage coaching this group in expect them to win.

    Wyoming @ Illinois -13.5 pick llinois has talent and a Coaching advantage here easy win for The illini And a good start to the Big10 looking good week 0.

    UConn @ Utah St -25.5. Pick here is Uconn Utah St lost alot of talent and Uconn Has a new coach and some power 5 transfer and hav invested in their profram and I think they cover here and lose by only 3 score. Sadly if you are a northeast College Football fan This is progress.

    Charlotte @ FAU -7.5 over under 59. I am a huge fan of this over both Teams are food on offense and being a Week 0 conference game expect sloppy Defense and alot of pts

    Last pick and not least we have North Texas Mean Green ar Utep -1.5 in the Beautiful Stadium. Im gonna favor Utep as the Played well last year and return alot of players this game is 9pm EST kickoff. So I will parlay this with The Hawai’i game.

    , ,
  • The PAC-12 is reported by CBS sports moving ahead with negotiating it’s tv deal immediately. The Pac-12 schools need academic fit and more interested viewers. These four schools Provide that and more in terms of location and other competitive advantage’s by adding them to make the conf more attractive to TV partners and also fans nationally along with maintaining access for your Conf champ to the College Football Playoff.

    I have the 4 Schools they need to add to fend off the Big-12 and keep their conference alive. All these moves make sense If having a coast to coast conference also make sense. Because why, because of money that’s why.

    1. Boise State. I know academically this school doesn’t fit but they draw big crowds and would give you the entire state of Idaho which has a small state popluation1.8 mill est., but a huge fan base regionally and a Great Football brand. Also a school with alot of interest from their fans as they are states pro team and they already play them on a regular basis anyway.

    2. Memphis. What’s going on here you say. They are the best team left in the American/old Big East football except they win and spend on sports also In the in central time zone giving them a way to have 1pm kickoffs for their new tv partners that they desire for east coast audiences. Also Their MBB team and other teams matter another major metro market that loves CFB. Population in the metro area is 1.8 million and a top 50 media market. On the Mississippi river is close enough to the west coast.

    3. SMU. A school that wants to be great and hires good coaches. Will they be competitive Most likely not for a while, a good school academically that will add Texas back in A huge market that is Dallas, TX pop. 7.75 million. Top 25 media market. Every league has bottom dweller see Rutgers and Syracuse football, but they don’t add value like an SMU would. I get they may not have the fan base of Other bigger schools in Texas are but A school in Dallas metro is worth it. Also ability to have 12pm and 1 east kick-off games. With a recruiting boost to all schools currently in the PAC-12.

    4. San Diego State. Because they go low we go lower. The Chargers are gone and San Diego St can fill the space in So Cal of them losing a team to the LA area. The best CFB markets are the area’s where the college team is the pro team doesn’t exist (i.e. Austin, Baton Rouge, Tallahassee, Tuscaloosa, Arkansas) You wont steal USC fans, BUT SD state will Still give you access to So Cal recruits and A great Area for your Olympic sports aside from Colorado. Metro pop. 3.2 million

    Will the Pac-12 most definitely not listen to my ideas for a myriad of reasons, but they make sense athletically and possibly academically while giving them access to potential students from as far east as Tennessee to as far south as Texas. Which should matter as well.

    Will they do it, who knows, but its not the worst idea.PAC-14 Sounds better anyways.
