With the MAC ramping up their Tuesday night schedules, I will post the lines for the Tuesday-Friday games on Tuesday afternoon from here on. This week since there are so many games on Friday, Friday will have its own separate post. The Saturday picks will all be up by noon on Saturday.

In case you are new to this, I will give you a little introduction to the madness. For the last six years, I have been picking every FBS vs. FBS game against the spread.

Believe me, it is not as easy as it sounds. My personal best was set last season at 55.01%. I was aiming for 57% this year, but it is not going as planned. I am going to have a hard time getting to .500.

I take the average of the odds from each Vegas casino and pick against that. I round all spreads to the nearest half point. There will be no pushing here. Save that for your next mosh pit.

I have been doing things a little differently this year. Instead of picking all of the games on Thursday, I have split them up to get more accurate spreads. Though as some of you have pointed out, this doesn’t do a whole lot of good for those that bet a late game with an early game on the same ticket. Due to that, I will have the noon kicks on Saturday up Friday evening, and the rest of the Saturday games up an hour before the noon eastern kickoffs on Saturday.

This is for entertainment purposes only. I cannot be responsible for you losing your dog, horse, car, or any other mode of transportation. I am a simple man. I cannot have that on my conscience.

Here are my college football picks against the spread for the Tuesday and Thursday games:

Ohio(-3.5) at Miami(OH): The Bobcats have had their moments this year. Which is more than I can say for the Redhawks. I’m taking Ohio.

LSU(-3.5) at Texas A&M: This line is a bit surprising to me. LSU got manhandled by Arkansas, and now they are road favorites in College Station? By more than a field goal? Well, A&M’s defense sucks, so give me LSU.

(5)TCU(-6.5) at Texas: Texas has played well at times this year. TCU still has a chance at sneaking into the playoffs. They had a bye week to regroup after almost losing to Kansas. Will it help? Probably. Give me the Toadies.

My picks for the Friday games will be up by Thursday night. I will get to them whenever I have a chance. If I don’t have them up tomorrow, have a Happy Thanksgiving!
