Mitch’s Free Pick Against The Spread College Football
Two ACC powers collide and two of the best coaches in the country square off as the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets host the Virginia Tech Hokies.
The sportsbook has surprised us in college football this season thanks to some surprising parity. Admit it – you didn’t peg Iowa as your top BCS contender entering this season. Yet here the Hawkeyes are, 6-0 and suddenly making a serious bid thanks to stellar defense. Can they beat a solid Wisconsin team on the road?
Nebraska is the team to beat in the Big 12 North:
Nebraska squared off against an undefeated Missouri team on Thursday night and came away victorious. The weather conditions were extremely poor with the rain causing both teams to make mistakes. Nebraska trailed 9-0 at halftime and 12-0 at the end of the third quarter.
Week five in the NFL belonged to the underdog as nine teams that were getting points covered. Three teams; Kansas City, Washington, and Detroit covered but lost outright while six teams; Cleveland, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Denver, Miami, and Seattle all won outright. It wasn’t all good for the underdog as three teams; N.Y. Giants, Philadelphia, and Minnesota won and covered a double digit point spread.
Big games this week as the NY Giants visit the New Orleans Saints in battle of undefeated team. Also the Ravens look to avoid their third loss in a row against another undefeated team in the Vikings. NFL Week 6 is going to have a lot of good betting options.
After week 6 of college football we separate the pretenders from the real contenders as Florida prove once again why they are the number one team in the nation.
Last week Florida proved to the nation that they are the number one team in college football by far. We have some huge games in week 7 college football with ranked teams going head to head in what appears to be another big college football betting week.
You might think that the Saints would have a huge advantage over the Giants this Sunday. New Orleans is coming off its bye week and has had 14 days to get ready. But the Giants last Sunday had the closest thing to a bye week –– a home game against Oakland –– and should be well-rested when the two unbeatens meet in New Orleans in the biggest game of the NFL season to date.
Seneca Wallace is a nice backup quarterback, but everyone who has even a passing interest in the NFC West knows that the fewer snaps he takes this season, the greater the chance of the Seahawks restoring themselves as the top team in the division.
One of college football’s greatest rivalries takes center stage this weekend. The infamous Red River Shootout – now known as the Red River Showdown – pits the No. 2 Texas Longhorns against the No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas.
Series odds: Dodgers -120
Pitching
As of Tuesday morning the starting pitchers have still not been announced although it looks like Cole Hamels will make the start for the Phillies.
Overall the Dodgers have the advantage as they led the Majors not only in overall ERA, but in Bullpen ERA. On the other hand the Phillies were ranked 7th overall and 13th out of their bullpen.
Week Six of the NFL schedule is highlighted with a couple of Five Star games. The undefeated New York Giants head to Bourbon Street to take on the equally undefeated New Orleans Saints. Also, the Ravens will try and break their two game losing streak in Minnesota against the 5-0 Vikings.
If the NFL odds threw you for a loop last week, maybe it’s time to take a step back and bet on something long-term. With the hockey season just a couple of weeks old, it’s still a prime time to bet on NHL futures.
The Rookie of the Year award isn’t purely about talent; it’s also about situation. When you make your wager, think about who has the clearest path to first-line and special teams minutes.
The Los Angeles Dodgers host the defending World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Thursday (8:07 pm ET, TBS).
The Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies 3-1 in their best-of-five NLDS while the Dodgers swept the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 in their NLDS.
