First of all, I hope all of my fellow veteran’s to have a good and enjoyable Veterans / Remembrance Day. I will be spending mine at G’ma and Papap Coldwarrior’s estate in the Northland. There will be plenty of college football, some beverages, and I brought some damn fine cigars to round out the day. The heaters are going strong in the garagemahal and the big screen is ready to go…soon is beer can chicken and some other surprises from the smoker after I go and raid the Amish grocery and the butcher.
SO, we were 2/3 last week! the ‘not win’ was a tie and Two Thumbs Vinnie wins the tie. Not too bad, back to $1300/$1000…outperforming the bond market.
3 Michigan @ 10 Penn State 12:00 PM…The line was 4.5 and then Coach Harbaugh got suspended for some quaint signal stealing that one of his unpaid staffers was up to. Does this rise to the level of Shenanigans? No. This does not rise to the level of the New England Patriots tapping all opposing teams communications and beating the spread at home for over 5 years straight. The line has moved to 4 at Happy Valley. I’ve seen the ‘big game’ there. My ears were ringing for days after. The only other times that I had this happen was at a Michigan game in the Big House and an AC/DC concert where I was a little too close to ground 0. It’s a shockingly LOUD environment. M is ready tho. They play in the BIG HOUSE (which is just as loud). The line has moved to M -4. This is a test for PSU, win this and they are back to elite status, lose, and well…also ran. I’ll take M to cover but will be rooting for the Nittany Lions.
13 Tennessee @ 14 Missouri 3:30 PM…The Vols…The Vols…they break my heart all the time. At the time that I reviewed this game, the Vols were 2 point favorites on the road. The home team usually gets 3, so the Vols aren’t really favored. Both teams are 7-2 and Mizzou is on the rebound. The Vols will break my heart again as I have them covering this spread on the road.
Miami @ 4 Florida State 3:30 PM…FSU is undefeated. These two teams HATE each other and have a very long history. FSU is a 14 point favorite and is at home. I’m gonna take FSU to take The Criminal Element to the woodshed and beat the spread.
9 Ole Miss @ 2 Georgia 7:00 PM…The Runnin Rebels were 10.5 point dogs at the time of game review. A big win today could put Georgia ahead of the #1 Ohio State Buckeyes in the playoff standings…The Bulldogs are #1 in the Coaches Poll and the AP poll. I think that the Bulldogs can cover this spread at home in Athens.
