Alabama Crimson Tide: The Week That Was

Alabama Crimson Tide bested division rival LSU, 24-15, in a punishing backyard battle in Tuscaloosa, Ala. While several LSU players – including quarterback Jordan Jefferson – were unable to go the distance, a stronger and tougher Bama ballclub delivered the goods in a forceful fourth quarter.

College Football Betting: Syracuse vs Louisville

Saturday, November 14 – Noon ET

BetUS NCAA College Football Betting Odds: LOUISVILLE -7.5, Total 45

Alright, let’s talk about the controversy, because it really does impact the college football betting aspect of this game. Mike Williams, who is far and away Syracuse’s top offensive weapon, left the program a couple of weeks ago. Williams had caught 49 passes on the year, and was averaging over 106 yards a catch, which ranks him eighth nationally among receivers. He had been suspended for the game against Akron and had just four catches for 34 yards against Cincinnati.

College Football Odds: Florida vs S. Carolina

Saturday, November 14th – Williams-Brice Stadium – 3:30 PM ET
College Football Spread: Florida -16

Florida: The Week That Was

The Gators weren’t inspired, but they didn’t need to be against an impotent Vanderbilt club. Florida cruised to a 27-3 victory in a game that shouldn’t be assigned much significance. Florida offensive coordinator Steve Addazio didn’t exactly open up the playbook last weekend, but it should also be said that Vanderbilt’s defense can play with any SEC foe. It’s Vandy’s offense that couldn’t compete with the defending national champions.

NFL Week 10: Chiefs vs. Raiders Predictions

Does Anyone Still Care Game of the Week: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Oakland Raiders

The Chiefs struck gold in Chris Chambers while shedding the dead weight of Larry Johnson last week. Johnson, who cleared waivers and will wait till someone is dumb enough to sign him, was jettisoned due to his anti-gay remarks and overall baggage. In all honest, I’m sure the Chiefs have been looking a way to get rid of Mr. Can’t Get In The Endzone all season, and this just gave them reason. The Chiefs have been stalwart upset specialists on the football betting line against Oakland with a 5-0 ATS record when visiting the bay area.

NFL Week 10: Bengals vs. Steelers Predictions

Hold the Mustard: Heinz Field Hosts Bengals

Battle at Heinz Field – Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

I’ve never understood “no love lost” because of the context its often used it, but if that saying has had any meaning then it certainly applies to the clash between the Bengals and Steelers this Sunday. With dominance in the AFC North on the line, and a storied rivalry between both teams in the mix, there certainly is no love to be lost in this one…largely because these teams have never liked each other to begin with.

Week 11: Wildcats vs. Golden Bears Preview/Pick

Week 11 – ARIZONA WILDCATS @ CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS

Date: Saturday November 14, 7:00 EST
Site: Berkeley, CA
BetUS LINE: Cal -3

Preview:

Surprisingly, the Wildcats are in the thick of the race for conference supremacy. Sophomore transfer QB Nick Foles has been doing everything right for Arizona to this point. He had a tall order taking over for career passing leader Willie Tuitama, but the offense has clicked all season to this point.
