We are scratching and clawing this season, eh?
I’ll certainly take last weekend’s 3-2 finish, but whew, it’s been a damn battle so far.
Let’s find that mojo as we enter the middle of the NFL regular season and the home stretch of college football.
I’ve got six wagers this weekend kicking off with a Friday night college play.
Remember, this space isn’t the place for a million picks or five-team parlays. These will always be the games I love the most.

2024 Record: (17-16, -0.5 units)
Boise State (-3.5, O/U 64.5) @ UNLV

PICK: UNLV (+3.5) to lose by fewer than 3.5 points, or win outright
Nebraska @ No. 4 Ohio State (-25.5, O/U 48.5)
Ohio State should be able to move the ball at will in this game. Indiana pounded the rock for 215 rushing yards against this Nebraska defense last week and things don’t get any easier versus OSU. I’ve got a feeling the Buckeyes take a big lead early and relax in the second half, which will open up garbage points for the Huskers and freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola.
PICK: Over 48.5 points scored by both teams combined
Penn State (-6.5, O/U 47.5) @ Wisconsin
Don’t look now, but the Badgers are starting to find their stride. The defense has allowed only 16 total points in the last three games, which is impressive, even if the competition hasn’t been the greatest. You know what you’re going to get with Wisconsin: a power running attack and a defense that brings the physicality in the front seven. Penn State should survive, but it’ll be…
