Smart Gambling or…Talk to me Monday.

Here are my breakdowns of this weeks games:
Tennessee AT Auburn - Auburn is only favored by 6 and a half. How the hell is that? Don’t get that one at all. Auburn’s defense is nasty and they’re coming off a crushing loss to LSU. Tennessee meanwhile just got hammered by Florida at home and now has to go on the road to play one of the nations best defenses? Remember this is the same Tennessee team that lost to UCLA who’s been getting killed by everyone else. Love Auburn. No Rocky Mountain Top being played here.
Idaho AT San Diego State - SDS is favored by 11. WTF?? How is that even possible? Idaho lost to Arizona 70 to nothing and got creamed by Utah State 42 to 17 - the same Utah State team that lost to Oregon 66 to 24 and to Utah 58 to 10. San Diego State fumbled on the one inch line to lose to a decent Notre Dame team AT Notre Dame. I love SDS.
Stanford at Washington - Wash favored by 3 and a half. Hope that line falls to 3 or 2 and a half but I still like the Huskies. Stanford is garbage, Washington’s first three games were against, Oregon, BYU, and Oklahoma, that’s why the line is so low. They lost to BYU by one on a controversial call. A BYU team that’s been crushing everyone ever since. I see them blowing out Stanford.
Wildcards:
Penn State is favored by 14 and a half over Illinois. It’s at Penn State - if the spread gets down to 13 and a half I’m all over it, still might fire on it anyway, I love Penn State to cover every game this year until they prove me wrong. Illinois sweated out a very lackluster victory over Louisiana-Lafayette 20 to 17.
Minnesota at Ohio State. OSU is favored by 17 points but they get Beanie Wells back and Pryor seems to be the answer for the Buckeyes offense. The loss to USC might be a blessing to people like me. The line on their next few games will be lower than normal. I don’t see many teams in the Big Ten aside from Penn State scoring many points on OSU. They have close to five or six guys getting drafted in the NFL next year. They’re due for a blowout and Minnesota might be that whipping boy.
NFL GAMES
Buffalo is only favored by 8 over St. Louis? WTF? The Rams have lost their first three games by 35, 29, and 27 points. The Bills are undefeated. Interesting…Trent Green gets the start here to help ignite a fire into the Rams offense. But who’s going to help their defense? No one! That’s why I love the Bills.
Broncos favored by 9 and a half over the Chiefs. Like the Broncos. Just can’t picture this Thigpen guy carrying the Chiefs. The Broncos score more than a Vegas happy hour. They’ve scored 114 points in their first three games compared to 32 by the Chiefs.
