Record 22-44 +$3535.00
$1000.00 -105 #157 Georgia (+2) over LSU (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 25)
The Bulldogs went from being the No. 1 team in the nation to now being road underdogs in their conference? I think that we have two teams headed in opposite directions right now. The LSU Tigers have been just OK this year against not very good competition. They gave up 24 points to Mississippi State and were really fortunate to come back last week against South Carolina. Those are two nice wins, but I can't get the picture of them getting run off the field in The Swamp out of my head. Georgia is 5-2-1 ATS on the road and LSU is 2-6-1 ATS at home.
$1000.00 -105 #145 Alabama (-6) over Tennessee (7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 25)
This is a great number on the No. 2 team in the country. The Crimson Tide will come out with a sense of purpose this week after a second straight lackluster second-half against Ole Miss last week. I think that the late-game swoons have given Nick Saban all the motivation that he needs to keep his team sharp and that they will dominate a Tennessee team that is ready to throw in the towel on this season. The Vols' score from last week is a bit misleading, as they were struggling through a 13-3 game before a couple fortuitous bounces and two INT's run back for touchdowns made the score look like a blowout. They will find out what a true blowout is this week.
$500.00 -103 #181 Penn State (-2.5) over Ohio State (8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 25)
Penn State has consistently performed like one of the best teams in the country this year, and are now even better since they have gotten even better as they've gotten healthier along the defensive line. The Lions are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight games overall and the favorite has dominated this series, covering seven out of 10 meetings. Penn State has speed on both side of the ball - the type of speed that we've seen the Buckeyes have problems with in nonconference play for years now. I think the Lions win a hard-fought contest and that we collect in the process.
$200.00 -105 #132 Arkansas (+5.5) over Mississippi (7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 25)
Home underdogs are gold in the SEC and we have a live one here. Houston Nutt wants revenge on his old team, but I don't think that he'll get it this week with an Ole Miss squad that shouldn't be favored on the road against anyone. The Razorbacks have played one of the toughest schedules in the conference and now finally get a home game. The crowd will be out in full force to show their displeasure of Nutt, and that will give this Hogs team a much needed emotional lift. Arkansas is 5-1 ATS in the last six home games against the Rebels and 4-0 ATS in this series overall.
$300.00 -105#126 Pittsburgh (-9.5) over Rutgers (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 25)
Rutgers is one of the worst teams in the Big East but is still getting too much respect from oddsmakers. The Scarlet Knights are a terrible 1-10 ATS on grass and are just 2-5 ATS in conference games. The rushing attack that Pitt brings to the table is going to be too much, and I expect the Panthers to make a statement as to why they are the top dogs in the Big East.
best to all
