College Week 4

[Mr Rattler]

12 Noon Starts


UConn +7 loss
They have a good run defense. Plus they faced Army already and was effective against the option


BYU +7 (-128) loss (nail biter)
The Stormin Mormons don't quit. Expecting a close game that goes to the final play. Take the generous wood


Duke +8 win
Bit of a let down week for Tech. Duke can handle their own.



3pm Start

Maryland +17 loss
I think the Terps have found a good combination on offense




**** Back by 3pm with mid day card

 

[Mr Rattler]

3:30pm Starts (THESE ARE 3 STRONG PICKS)

UMass +28.5 loss
The Irish are 7-20 ATS last 27 when favored by more than 21 points. With Clemson on deck, don't expect much emotion from Notre Dame this week. UMass is capable of putting some points on the board. If they don't turn it over too often, They can keep it respectable


Ohio St -32 loss
With no big game on the horizon and a lackluster performance last week, look for the Buckeyes to put one on the Broncos who gave up 43 to GA Southern.


Texas +3 push (dicks)
This is a flat out must win for the 1-2 Longhorns with TCU, OKLA, and KSt on deck. Expect the Horns to give a 110% today. OKY St may feel a bit over confident with 3 fluff wins in their belt.



*** May have play on 430p Start, check back around 4p

4:45p Start


Texas Tech +6 (-120) win
This line is suspiciously way too low. My numbers have it around TCU -15. Tech is averaging over 500 yards allowed per game and now get one of the best offenses in college football. With 64% of the public taking TCU, the line has come down to TCU -5.5 from the opening line of -7. I smell a rat here.
Also, Tech may want to gain some respectability after the 82-27 skull-dragging they took last year from the horny toads.
Tons of injuries on the defensive side for TCU. SMoooo scored over 30 on them last week. My God.

Thanks for the 411. Sounds like they have some quality individuals there.

 

[Mr Rattler]

ADD 3:30pm Start


Penn St -14 (-122) win
The Aztecs just lost as 17 point favorites at home, Now they make a 3500 mile trip across country to play in a hostile environment. I don't think it will take much for the Aztecs to quit today. Nittney Lions have no big game in sight to save their emotions for. Penn St rolls

Yeah, lose by 55 last year and now you're just a 5 point dog. Def smell a fish here, I'll be joining you. GL!

Night Card



Arkansas +7 push (smfh)
The Razorbacks just lost consecutive games to mighty Toledo (despite out gaining them 515 to 318). and Texas Tech at home. So, no way they can beat A&M here, right? As a team, this is the opening conference play for both teams, a perfect new beginning. Arkansas' strength is the run and that plays into the vulnerability of the Aggies. A&M allowed 240 on the ground to Ball St with over 6 yards a carry. This line should be a pick. I will gladly take the 7

Miss St +2 win
Going against the home field trend in this series. I just believe Miss St is the better team. Auburn has 8 giveaways already this year. Auburn MUST play a clean game to win tonight and thus far they haven't proven to me that they can.



UCLA -2 win
Both teams open up Pac12 play and both look to be highly motivated here. I have my suspicions about Arizona's defense, having given up over 500 yards to U of Texas San Antonio. UCLA 9-1 on Artificial turf (7-3 ATS)


**more to come

Hey Rattler. Are you going to post your NFL picks? I bet the Raven on the ML. I think they'll be ready for this game. Opinion?

 

[Mr Rattler]

Late Game

USC -4 win
I know I am going against a reverse line move here, but USC just does not lose after a divisional loss. They are 6-0 both SU and ATS the game after a PAC-12 loss in the past 3 years. That's a mighty strong trend that speaks volumes about the coaching.


*** see you on the pro side tomorrow

Just posted my Ravens Report on the NFL side

 

[Mr Rattler]

5-0 ATS rally to make up for horrible early day. Finish 6-5
