My win percentage on picking games against the spread this year is 58%.
That’s a passing grade with plenty of room for improvement.
Home teams favored by more than a touchdown have hurt me
Where I’ve done pretty well this year is picking road dogs.
I get a little extra satisfaction betting on visiting teams expected to lose..
makes me think I might actually have some insight other than just
reading up on how a team is trending over their last few games.
So I have 2 road dogs and an underdog at home that I like this weekend.
The Irish’s slide continues, another Top-10 team upset, and the winner of a game
that used to mean a lot 25 years ago..
Remember, gambling is dumb. What you do with these picks is solely your responsibility.
Virginia Tech (+17.5) at 16th ranked Notre Dame - After barely squeaking by a bad USC team at home and then getting thoroughly abused by Michigan Saturday night in front of a national audience, the fighting Brian Kellys are going to attempt to get healthy against fellow step-conference member Virginia Tech. The Hokies have strung 3 consecutive wins together and are coming off a thrilling 43-41 victory over North Carolina. The Domers win but by a closer margin than expected..31-21.
Washington (+3.5) at home vs. 9th ranked Utah - After nearly upsetting a 12th ranked Oregon team 35-31 at home October 19th, Washington hosts the Utah Utes. The Huskies have the top rated passing offense in the PAC-12 led by senior QB Jacob Eason who has thrown for 1981 yards with 16 touchdowns and only 3 INTs. Utah has the number 1 ranked defense in the conference, however, we are talking about the PAC-12 here. I like Eason to get it done in a low scoring struggle..17-14.
Miami (+3.5) at Florida State - This used to be an important and exciting battle between 2 perennial Top-10 programs fighting for football supremacy in the state of Florida and the ACC. This game’s history has been characterized by huge kicking game gaffes that often decided the outcome. Expect that to continue. Miami wins when the Seminoles miss wide right on a makable FG at the end of the game..16-14.
That’s how I see it. We’ll see if my road dog streak continues.
