Notre Dame's last chance to lose, right?

Nebraska only getting 21, on the road at a pretty good Wisconsin team?
Yes, please.

I'd feel better about that Miami line if it was in the 7-8 point range. Probably a stay away.
I like LSU at 3 or 3 1/2.
The Alabama line might be a bit high for an SEC game, regardless of how bad Arkansas is, but I'm probably going to go all in on the first half line if it's in the 20-25 point range.
Auburn only giving three to Mississippi State seems like another one that's too good to be true.

Remaining schedule:

at Va Tech
Pittsburgh
at Navy
Northwestern
Florida State
Syracuse
at USC

I don't think that game at USC will be a gimme, but Va Tech is certanly their toughest game until then.

Mmmm, this makes it all the more delicious when the Irish randomly trip over their dicks in one of those. NW feels like a decent one for some reason, maybe an FSU pulls it together game.

Don't sleep on Syracuse.

Alabama (-34)

I fail to see how my Razorbacks manage even a field goal this week. I agree with your pick.

Your Razorbacks are **** right now. Give Morris a year or two.........and you'll still be ****.
I like Morris, but he stepped into the big boy pool, and it won't end well for him.

 

[playthrough]

Kentucky's got something cooking. I'd take +6 at A&M, who didn't come close to covering in beating the **** Razorbacks last week.

I'd actually consider taking +21 and **** Nebraska. Wisconsin has Michigan next week, and Nebraska's not going to roll over every week ... or maybe they are.

Give me your money.
This is going to be a blood-letting.

We should change the title on this to "Weak 6 College Football Thread".

One thing I'm learning about betting college football is that there's money to be made in games involving bad teams playing good teams, especially if the number isn't too high. This is one of those games.
So is Arkansas-Alabama.
Hell, this might be a good time to drop some extra cash on a two-game, multi-level parlay — the first-half and final spreads of both games, as well as the over/unders.

Taking 11.5 points against Sparty is quite tempting, but it’s hard to trust Northwestern’s offense to put up 13ish points and keep it that close.

 

[tapintoamerica]

Bryce Love is hurt again? He's great when healthy and I hope he has a long NFL career, but I'm guessing the NFL may be wary at this point.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

It was the quite justified fear of Rob Gronkowski's injury risks that allowed a Hall of Fame player fall to Belichick in the second round. Someone will take a flyer on Love in the first two rounds in the hope lightning strikes twice. (Note: Gronk still gets hurt a lot. Pats seem willing to put up with it).

The StartleGram has learned that Baylor has received a notice of allegations from the NCAA relating to the Art Briles years, including “failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance” and “lack of institutional control.”

Pitt could probably get Matt Rhule so cheap right now.

I miss the days when geniuses like Mike DuBose were patrolling the SEC sidelines.
