We Shall Overcome

October 10th, 2003

Yes indeed, it’s Seperation Saturday. So why not seperate your man from some of that cash he took from you earlier this year.
DISCLAIMER: I am doing my best to concentrate on my auxilary income and not the Rocket-Pedro match-up.
TOP PLAY
Bowling Green (-9 1/2) over Western Michigan
Josh Harris will throw all over Kalamazoo. Greg Brandon has stepped in for Urban Myer and not lost much. The Falcons are coming off a bye (5-2 against the spread in their last seven) and heading into a homecoming match-up with the Broncos (who have owned BG ATS the past few years). But disregard that and back the MAC. This would be the only time this year I would pick a Falcons team over a Broncos team.
CHECK OUT
Pittsburg (-9 1/2) over Notre Dame
“Hi Mr. Fitzgerald, this is the Downtown Athletic Club, are you busy the second weekend on December?” A big game against the woeful Irish still impresses people and Walt’s boys will have that Saturday.
Purdue (-13) over Penn St
I say JoPa you say Terno. I say AA you say RP. While Purdue is playing without a bye week this year, Penn St is 1-7 in their last eight before a bye.
Michigan St (-3 1/2) over Illinois
Where did theses guys come from? Jeff Smoker is playing out of his mind (which is where the La Tech game should be). I still hold some gambling grudges against UICU and always enjoy betting against them.
Virgina (-2 1/2) over Clemson
The only thing dying in the valley this weekend is Tommy Bowdon’s career.
Oklahoma (-5 1/2) over Texas
This is one Mack you don’t back. The Sooners are running the table while the Longhorns don’t have a leg to stand on. If I need to site trends on this game, you just don’t know college football.
North Texas (-7) over Idaho
The best team in the Sun Belt against, well, any other the in the Sun Belt is always enticing. UNT has covered in 4 of their last 5 against Idaho, and is 4-2 ATS versus conference foes. Mean Green screams to a big win.
La-Lafayette (-4) over La-Monroe
It should be mandatory for everyone to play this one. Two awful teams playing for nothing.
Missouri (+7) over Nebraska
That Nebraska D has to give. Brad Smith has to break out. These two events come together on Saturday.
UNDERDOG OF THE WEEK
Duke (+27 1/2) over Maryland
Aside from UConn, the Blue Devils may be the best week-in-week-out underdog play in the nation.
ON THE HOME FRONT
Scary night. The Dogs have no running game. The Dogs have no blocking. However the D will make this one tight. It’s gonna be low scoring, physical and down to the wire. UT 17 UGA 13
Enjoy one helluva weekend. GREAT college games all day (Miam-FSU at noon) and all night (Hawaii with a midnight kickoff), a couple of thrilling baseball games and a NASCAR race thrown in to boot. WOW!
