By the way, the third-annual Walter/Joker Annual Challenge is on, as I’ll be competing with the Joker’s College Picks. We each pick five games and see who does the best each week.
Auburn (1-0) at Mississippi State (1-0)
Line: Auburn by 2.5.
Thursday, 7:45 ET
I don’t understand this spread. Is Auburn better than Mississippi State? Yes, but only slightly. Both squads finished their 2009 seasons with a 3-4 record, and both have 15 starters returning. Auburn has a new quarterback though, who will be starting his first road game. Playing at Mississippi State on a weeknight will be a very daunting task.
This is my favorite college football betting scenario – taking a live home dog playing on a weeknight, when there’s tons of action on the visitor and the line is moving the other way. Auburn opened -2 on Pinnacle and has dropped to -1.5 despite the fact that 84 percent of the money in Vegas is being bet on them.
Mississippi State is available for +2.5 on Bodog. They are my September College Football Pick of the Month.
Prediction: Mississippi State 31, Auburn 20
Mississippi State +2.5 (7 Units – September College Football Pick of the Month) — Incorrect; -$770
Auburn 17, Mississippi State 14; Wow, if all of Mississippi State’s sloppy turnovers in the first half weren’t enough, their receiver dropped a pass that was in his hands at Auburn’s 15-yard line with 40 seconds left to set up a chip-shot field goal at the very least. He dropped it and Miss. St. lost the ball on downs. Ugh.
Memphis (0-1) at East Carolina (1-0)
Line: East Carolina by 12.5.
Saturday, 12:00 ET
What oddsmaker did East Carolina’s head coach sleep with to get his team favored by 12.5? The Pirates have just seven returning starters. I don’t see how they’re favored by more than a touchdown over anyone.
Prediction: East Carolina 24, Memphis 20
Memphis +12.5 (2 Units) — Incorrect; -$220
Eastern Michigan (0-1) at Miami of Ohio (0-1)
Line: Miami of Ohio by 16.
Saturday, 2:00 ET
Miami of Ohio won one game last year. Why are they favored by 16? Eastern Michigan nearly won last week, so why can’t they triumph over the crappy Redhawks?
Prediction: Miami of Ohio 27, Eastern Michigan 24
Eastern Michigan +16 (3 Units) — Correct; +$300
Bowling Green (0-1) at Tulsa (0-1)
Line: Tulsa by 16.5.
Saturday, 7:00 ET
Notice a trend here? Tulsa is yet another overinflated crappy team getting too many points for some weird reason. If this were the NFL, Tulsa would be -3 based on the talent level of these two squads.
Prediction: Tulsa 34, Bowling Green 27
Bowling Green +16.5 (2 Units) — Correct; +$200
Penn State (1-0) at Alabama (1-0)
Line: Alabama by 11.5.
Saturday, 7:00 ET
Look, I’m a Penn State alumnus, and I can confidently say that the talent level between these two teams isn’t even close. Our true freshman quarterback is not ready to go into Alabama and beat the Crimson Tide. This has major blowout written all over it.
I love Alabama -11.5; the spread is too low because the idiot poll voters have overvalued Penn State based on last year’s results.
Prediction: Alabama 38, Penn State 6
Alabama -11.5 (5 Units) — Correct; +$500
