College Football Picks Against The Spread Evening November 4, 2017

My college football pick em points were down to 32 last week. Thankfully the spread picks have been doing a little better this year! Through nine weeks, I am at 252-225 with a net total of 67 betting points. Let’s add to that!

For those of you that are new here, I put myself out there every week. For the last six years, I have picked every single college football game. Sounds easy, right? I thought so too. So I have picked them all against the spread. That significantly increases the degree of difficulty.

I take the average of the odds from the six major Vegas casinos and round that to the nearest half point. There will be no ties here. Ties are for the other football.

Some site will sell you top ten picks for a fee. Some will even give you a couple of free picks to lure you in. This is every game picked, all for free.

I will assign a point value “bet” on each game, between one and five points. That way you can see just how confident I am in each pick. Look for those at the end of each line.

I cannot be responsible for you losing any of your worldly possessions, significant others, or limbs to a loan shark. This is for entertainment purposes only! I am a simple person. I cannot have that on my conscience.

We have the biggest week of college football so far this season. There is a full 61 game slate, all of which are FBS vs. FBS matchups! We finish the week with 15 games in prime time. Let’s finish the week strong!

Nevada at Boise State(-20.5)(2): The Broncos have looked really good lately, and Nevada is a very young and very inconsistent team. I have to think Boise covers on the Smurf Turf.

Colorado State(-4.5) at Wyoming(2): I don’t know that I buy this anymore. The Rams were just dumped at home by rival Air Force. Wyoming laid the wood to New Mexico last week. Colorado State is a tougher opponent, but I still like the Cowboys at home.

UTSA(-5.5) at Florida International(3): Wait a minute……FIU just beat a solid Marshall team – by double digits – on the road. And they are a home dog to the Roadrunners? I don’t think so. FIU straight up.

Texas at (8)TCU(-6.5)(2): This is going to be a defensive battle. Texas will have Sam Ehlinger back, but do they play him after Beuchele looked so good last week? Will it matter? All I know is that this is going to be a close game. I would like it a whole lot better if it was a point higher, where it opened. I’m still taking Texas though.

(18)Central Florida(-14.5) at SMU(3): I don’t like the half, but this UCF offense is putting on quite a show right now. Give me UCF.

Southern Mississippi at Tennessee(-6.5)(4): If you have read this column at all, you know how critical I am of the Vols. However, Southern Miss has not been a good team. This wont be a blowout by any means, but the Vols should be able to take this by double digits at home. Not like it matters. Butch is gone either way.

UTEP at Middle Tennessee State(-17.5)(3): Western Kentucky and Army were the only teams that failed to cover the Miners. This still looks pretty low. Give me MTSU.

Minnesota at Michigan(-15.5)(3): Uh oh, Michigan has a quarterback. Sure, he’s young and will have some growing pains, but it wont matter against the mess that is Minnesota. Give me Michigan.

(19)LSU at (2)Alabama(-21.5)(4): Wow, this is a lot. However, the Tide have owned LSU for much of the last ten years. This LSU team is nowhere near the caliber of a lot of those over that decade. This could get ugly, especially since Alabama got demoted to second in the rankings. They will take this as a slight. Bama wins BIG.

(13)Virginia Tech at (10)Miami(FL)(-1.5)(5): Nope! The Hurricanes have not played a good game in a month. They aren’t winning this game, especially without Mark Walton. Hokies straight up.

Colorado at Arizona State(-3.5)(3): I’m not really sure why this is dropping. The Ralphies have been roadkill. Give me Sparky.

Oregon at (12)Washington(-16.5)(2): This line is down ten points, which is almost unheard of. This large of a drop is somewhat understandable after last weekend, but I think Oregon’s success was mostly a fluke. I’ll take the Huskies at home.

San Diego State(-23.5) at San Jose State(2): I know better than to take the Aztecs in a line this big, especially on the road. Give me the Spartans.

(22)Arizona at (17)USC(-7.5)(2): I know that USC’s defense is better than Washington State’s, but they still haven’t done a great job. USC’s offense dominating Sparky last week has caused me to lower the bet, but I still like Arizona to stay within a score. Give me the Wildcats.

BYU at Fresno State(-11.5)(4): This looks low. I’ll take the Bulldogs at home.

With 61 college football games this weekend, I have a huge opportunity to get closer to that 55% goal. I only have six one pointers this week, so I bet more than last week. I tipped the scale big in the middle again with 25 two pointers and 18 three pointers. I have eight four pointers, and four five pointers to close the weekend!
