Good week, bad week. Good week, bad week.
Back and forth we go.
The balance sheet was red last weekend, thanks to both UNLV and Wisconsin slipping outside “Cover Town” in the fourth quarter. It’s just the worst way to lose an underdog.
I’ve got three college football plays and three NFL wagers this weekend.
Remember, this space isn’t the place for a million picks or five-team parlays, either. These will always be the games I love the most.
Let’s go to work.
2024 Record: (19-20, -2.9 units)
Louisville @ No. 11 Clemson (-10.5, O/U 62)
Clemson has been destroying inferior teams for weeks, and now it faces a Louisville offense that can get up and down the field. The total tells us both teams will tango and I truly believe Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough will be able to take advantage of a very questionable Clemson secondary. The Tigers certainly have their sights set on an ACC Championship appearance down the road, but they better be careful against Jeff Brohm’s feisty squad.
PICK: Louisville (+10.5) to lose by fewer than 10.5 points, or win outright
Duke @ No. 5 Miami (-20, O/U 54.5)
Manny Diaz’s Duke defense meets Miami’s high-octane offense. It’s easy to look at Miami’s box scores and lean “Over,” but Diaz is going to throw a bunch of coverages at Canes QB Cam Ward, and I don’t expect the ACC’s most-talented team to do whatever it wants. It’s much easier to slow a game down than it is to speed one up and let’s be clear — Duke has no chance in a shootout. The Blue Devils are going to do everything in their power to muck this up.
PICK: Under 54.5 points scored by both teams combined
No. 13 Indiana (-7.5, O/U 53) @ Michigan State
Let me start with a disclaimer. I haven’t bet against Indiana one time this season. I love that Hooisers team, their coach and their quarterback … but there’s a time and place for everything. This line…
