Last week was easily my best week of the season. My weekly picks did well, but more importantly, I marked in nearly 30 units on my futures. Oregon upsetting Ohio State was massive, as was UCLA, Utah and Notre Dame all winning. Let’s keep the momentum going.
Western Michigan @ Akron (Tuesday, 6 PM Central)
Western Michigan is a defense-first team that’s not built to blow teams out. They have beaten some bad teams (Rice, Bowling Green, Central Michigan) by less than two scores. Akron is bad, but not as bad as their record indicates. I think the Zips can cover here.
Akron +13.5 -115 (2 units)
Florida State @ Pitt (Friday, 6 PM Central)
These teams are both having weird seasons. Pitt looked good until QB Mason Heintschel got knocked out for the season. Their backup is bad, but they still play good defense and are well-coached. Florida State, on the other hand, is a mess. They fired Mike Norvell and opted for an interim coach that wasn’t on the staff. I think FSU also is on quit-watch in a lame duck season under an interim and like the alt line here as well.
Pitt -3.5 +100 (2 units)
Pitt -20.5 +560 (0.5 units)
Syracuse @ NC State (Saturday, 11 AM Central)
NC State played their first game under their interim coach last week and it was a complete disaster. They lost 41-3 at home against Duke. NC State is on major quit-watch. Syracuse is an erratic team but can get hot at times, and NC State may just not show up to this. I like the alt lines on Syracuse.
Syracuse -20.5 +600 (0.5 units)
Syracuse -27.5 +1100 (0.5 units)
