I don't know whether the TCU/SMU game went over the total when I posted this but after watching the first quarter it doesn't look good. Right now I am breaking even with my best bets and my regular plays are well in the black. I do like quite a few games this week and a few of them I like a whole bunch. So here are the rest of my picks for week 4 in college football.
BEST BETS
My FIRST BEST BET is on STANFORD on the road spotting UCLA 3 points. I really don't know why this line is so low but if I am missing something, for the life of me I can't see it. Stanford is 7-1 ATS the last 8 meetings, another reason the line confuses me. They also have McCaffrey on their team and a decent quarterback in Ryan who has completed 70% of his passes, and yet only a 3 point spread. I don't know if the oddsmakers are right or I am but I will take the Cardinal minus the points as my first BEST BET.
My NEXT BEST BET is on WASHINGTON on the road giving 11 points to Arizona. I must admit Washington is my team dujour this year, as I really like the Huskies quarterback Jake Browing who has thrown for 12 tds with only 1 pick so far this year. Arizona's qb is more of a running qb and if he can't keep up with Washington the Wildcats are in big trouble and that is what I think will happen. Arizona has a plethora of injuries and that doesn't bode well from them either. I like Washington to get the monkey off their back and beat Arizona in Tucson. So I will lay the 11 and make the Huskies a BEST BET.
My LAST BEST BET is on ARMY on the road giving 13 1/2 points to Buffalo. The Cadets (and these are words I don't use alot for an Army team) are on fire this year as they are now 3-0 while the Bulls 0-2 and they lost to Albany, yup that's right Albany. Army's wishbone offense is averaging 47 points on the road so far this year and only giving up 13, a big reason I am backing them. The Black Knights will win this game going away with no threat of a backdoor cover. I am making Army minus the points my last BEST BET.
REGULAR PLAYS
As for regular plays I like Mississippi at home giving Georgia 7 points. I like Louisville on the road giving 26 points to Marshall. I like the California/Arizona State game to go over 82. I like Mississippi State giving UMass 22 points. I like Memphis at home giving 16 1/2 points to Bowling Green. And finally I like Minnesota at home giving 16 points to Colorado State.
Well that's it for this week in college football, I will be back next week with more college picks. I will be back Saturday night with my NFL picks.
And as always - Remember to bet with your head and not over it.
