Utah (+4.5) at Arizona State, 11 p.m., Fox Sports 1

 

Had a wonderful week betting: 8-teamer, 4-teamer, 3-teamer, 2-teamer, straight bet. The most harrowing was the 4-teamer. Central Florida (-7), Arizona-Wazzu over, and LSU (+4) covered, which left Bama-Tennessee. Bama was trying to run out the clock but one of the tailbacks busted free for a 20-yarder and was headed for the end zone -- then fumbled at the 1! The +20 Vols recover and don't do anything but the game ended, but had Bama scored it would've been 41-20 with just a few minutes to play and I doubt the Vols score a TD, and I would've lost. Sometimes you get lucky.

Is Pereira catching on to a SEC conspiracy or is he nuts?

 

Good luck trying to set an over-under on TCU-WVU.

 

Saban makes $7 million a year.

In 2013, Alabama boosters bought his house for $3.1 million, and he lives there rent-free. They pick up property taxes too.

This is where Starman stops by to tell us it's a sign Saban is getting ready to take another job just like he's done the last 6 offseasons.

 

A property tax bill of just over $10,000 on a house selling for $3 million+? That's the best real estate deal in history.

 

Penn State v Maryland. PSU is 35-1-1 versus Maryland

 

Not really. The catch is you have to be in Alabama.

 

Of course the boosters are paying the property taxes. They bought the house from Saban and own it. Rovell and others have tweeted this story like the booster paid off the mortgage and it's wrong.

 

This one is going to test the sweeping-under-the-rug powers of Tallahassee PD -- RB Karlos Williams suspected of domestic assault involving his live-in girfriend, who is pregnant with their second child.

It's unclear what his status for the rest of the season will be, but he did just move up 20 spots on the 49ers' draft board.

 

When Jimbo was asked about the case on Friday, he acted outraged as usual.
