College Football Picks Against the spread evening November 25, 2017

I had a decent week in college football pick em. I needed better than decent, but after last week, I’ll take it. Most of my picks against the spread went pretty well, I think. I came out in the black in the games I bet, but I haven’t tallied up all the games yet.

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 a huge week of college football this week! All 62 games are FBS vs. FBS tilts. Rivalry week concludes with 12 prime time games. Who can win us money here?

Arizona(-1.5) at Arizona State(2): Arizona looks like the better team, but crazy things can happen in rivalry games. I’m not betting this one, but if I did, I would take Arizona.

Georgia Southern at Louisiana-Lafayette(-6.5)(2): I don’t trust that Lafayette can win this outright. I wouldn’t be surprised if Georgia Southern won outright, so give me the Eagles.

Wyoming(-18.5) at San Jose State(1): I don’t see any reason for Josh Allen to risk himself or his future against a team this bad. He wont help his draft stock any here. I’m guessing Allen doesn’t play, so I’ll take San Jose State. If Allen is a go, Wyoming with four confidence points.

Oregon State at Oregon(-25.5)(3): This is a rivalry and the Beavers have played much better since Anderson stepped down. This looks like too many. I’ll go Oregon State in the not-so-Civil War.

(2)Clemson(-13.5) at South Carolina(2): You know, I might feel better about taking the Gamecocks if this game were on the road. They have not played well at home at all. This is a fierce rivalry, so I’m going to say this is too high. I’ll take South Carolina.

Texas A&M at (20)LSU(-10.5)(2): The loser is looking for a new coach! How’s that for stakes in a rivalry? LSU wins, but doesn’t cover. 

UTSA at Louisiana Tech(EVEN)(3): Honestly, the Roadrunners have looked like the better team, and not just by a little. Give me UTSA.

(8)Notre Dame(-2.5) at (22)Stanford(3): Stanford has not looked good trying to stop the run lately. That is not good for them. I think this is going to be a really close game, but I still like the Irish to win, so I’m going Notre Dame. 

(14)Washington State at (18)Washington(-10.5)(5): Okay, I get it. The last four Apple Cups have been decisive wins for Washington, but this is a lot. Too many, in fact. Especially since I like Wazzu straight up. Give me the Leaches!

BYU(-3.5) at Hawaii(3): Hawaii is a dog at home to a BYU team without Mangum? Forgive me if I’m skeptical. Hawaii straight up!

Colorado at Utah(-10.5)(2): This looks high. Then again, Colorado is a shell of what they should be. I think I have to take Utah. 

Utah State at Air Force(-1.5)(2): Considering how dominant Utah State was last week, I like them in this game too. Give me the Aggies.

I’m a little nervous since I only have four one pointers in rivalry week. I only have five each of the four and five pointers, so I  am unsure on a lot of these. I ended up with 26 two point picks, a season high. My 22 three point picks seems to be about average right now.
