Five consecutive winning weekends.
This feeling of success has become a regular thing for us. We could have bowed out after the first rough weekend, but we didn't. We stuck to it and now we have made $18.36. If you multiply that profit by 54,466 then you're looking at a cool million bucks, folks.
We submitted nine picks this past week and correctly hit on five of them. It's a step back from the torrid pace we've been on but a winning weekend nonetheless.
The Vanderbilt/Georgia game was a rough one for us. We had Vanderbilt +18 and under 41 points. The Bulldogs won by a score of 45-14, and that one was a big ole' double whammy. We also had Oregon +3 versus Washington and that one wasn't even close. The Ducks fell at home 33-10 as Willie Taggart bowed down to Mike Leach's greatness. We had the over in the Florida/LSU game and – just as we expected – that one didn't work out either.
The good news from the week? The Aggies surprisingly kept it somewhat close against the Crimson Tide. Penn State beat up on Northwestern and the Arkansas/South Carolina game featured a ton of scoring. We also had Ole Miss +22 against Auburn and that one was a nail-biter. The Tigers won by a score of 44-23 and we narrowly escaped the jaws of defeat. #ShootersShoot

Thoughts on the weekend? Well we keep selecting Clemson to cover and hopefully this keeps working out in our favor. Syracuse doesn't exactly have the best home-field advantage, so this road matchup isn't really cause for concern. I am not a fan of taking the under in that one, however. Final call: Clemson 55, Syracuse 0.
West Virginia and Texas Tech should be a shootout but I have no idea what to expect with that one. The Mountaineers are at home though, and that makes me feel okay about the selection. Same goes for Oklahoma and Texas. The Longhorns have looked decent at times but one has to think Mayfield and the Sooners bounce back after last week's inexplicable loss to the Cyclones.
The Wisconsin line is pretty high, but the game is in Madison so that is definitely attainable. Not sure how I feel about pairing a -17 spread with the under, however. Kind of a different story with the Gators and Aggies. I think Florida can cover but once again we are taking the over in a game that involves the Gator offense. Yikes.
How many teams are there that are more fun to root against than Tennessee? Michigan, Baylor, and maybe a couple others? Let's hope for a South Carolina victory which could lead to a Butch Jones termination letter Sunday morning.
The Razorbacks' two wins this season have come against Florida A&M and New Mexico State. Rumor has it that Alabama might be better than both of those teams. Bert Bielema staying within 30 points of Nick Saban in Tuscaloosa? Barf. Not feeling that one at all.
We've got 17 picks in for this weekend's festivities. Easily our biggest card of the season. #GetRich
