College Football Week 10 Picks
By Colin Dixon, October 30th 2019 Picture Via @OregonFootball Twitter Welp last week was a tough one and I went .500. To start Oklahoma did not just fail to cover but they lost as well, UCLA smacked ASU, LSU was close to covering all game and then they could not hold on to it, SMU did not cover but we will get to them later, and last but not least I called out Rutgers for being awful and then they won... That is okay cause 5-5 is not a losing record. Anyways this week has a much better slate and I am very excited. Here are my top 10 picks of this week: GAME 1: Georgia Southern +15.5 @ #20 Appalachian State Well last time I had no idea where App State was even located but either way they are still located in the Top 25 and are still unbeaten. This will be some fun Halloween football and I am excited for it. I do not see anyone in the Sun Belt beating them even though it is spooky season. App State is legit and they will even have a chance at a New Years 6 bowl, but before we get...
College Football Week 9 Picks
By Colin Dixon, October 23rd 2019 Picture Via @SMU_Football Twitter As we move into another week of college football I have now gone two weeks in a row with a 6-4 record on my picks of the week. My four losses come from a meltdown from Stanford on Thursday Night, a crazy and awesome win by the Beavers (how come the one week I pick against them they do well but when I bet on them they lose), a big victory by SMU who I thought would be tested by Temple and then a solid game by Penn State who was covering all game until late in the 4th quarter. It was a fun weekend none the less and we will look to have another solid week of betting. Here are my week 9 set 7 picks: GAME 1: #16 SMU -14.0 @ Houston Well, last week I thought the high powered Mustangs would slow down and they proved me wrong and when I look at the opponent they face this week I do not see any signs of them slowing down this time. The Mustangs are loving their transfer quarterback Shane Buchelle where on the other side...
College Football Week 8 Picks (6th Set)
By Colin Dixon, October 16th 2019 Picture Via @GatorFB Welp last week was a great week to start where I was 5-1 in my first 6 games, but from there it all dropped off. I went 6-4 in total last week with a couple big wins and then a couple brutal losses. Clemson covered easily but Oregon State got obliterated. An again Virginia decided to fail me and I vow to never bet on Virginia again in my life. Anyways here is to an exciting week 8 and here are my picks: GAME 1: UCLA +7.0 @ Stanford A little Thursday Night College Football for the soul in this matchup, and honestly this game should be an easy bet. UCLA is coming off a bye and before that a brutal loss to Oregon State 2 weeks ago where on the other side Stanford is off a bye too but they just upset Washington. Stanford sits at 3-3 and UCLA is 1-5 and this matchup may look like it could be a good game, but Stanford will win by more than 7 and maybe even 20. MY PICK: STANFORD -7.0 GAME 2: #9 Florida -5.0 @ South Carolina We...
Week 7 College Football Picks (5th Set)
By Colin Dixon, October 9th 2019 Welp last week I ended up over .500 on my picks. I went 5-3-2 with the two pushes of Penn State and Texas but we will take that. Now if those two did not push and scored 1 more point each I would be sitting at 7-3 but that will come soon enough (hopefully). Now we will be getting into week 7 with a bunch of big games that I am excited about! My week 7 picks: GAME 1: #20 Virginia +2 @ Miami Welp I have constantly bagged on Virginia ever since they lost me $10 a couple weeks back and since I have won both bets against them but this week is different. Virginia is traveling down to Miami to play the hurricanes who are 2-3 and are coming off a tough loss where they almost came back from down 28-0. Anyways, this game will be different for the Hurricanes as they will be without their starting Quarterback Jarren Williams which forces N'Kosi Perry to start. Both these teams are almost identical when looking at average points and points given up as both...
Week 6 College Football Picks (My 4th Set of Picks)
By Colin Dixon, October 2nd 2019 So last week sucked. I truly thought I would be better. I was actually worse than last week. I went 3-7 and it does not feel great. So with that being said I am going to just jump right in and try my best to give you solid betting advice. So here we go: GAME 1: Utah State +27.5 @ #5 LSU LSU continues to be a great team led by QB Joe Burrow and they continue to turn heads all around college football. The Tigers are 4-0 and they have a 3-1 Utah State Aggies heading into Baton Rouge this weekend hoping to knock off the 5th ranked Tigers. This spread is a lot higher than I expected, and I am in no way doubting LSU's talent or that they will win this game but the Aggies have a great team and they will go in and keep the game within 4 touchdowns. It is so hard to win by 28 in football and I just do not see the tigers winning by more than 27.5 this weekend. MY PICK: UTAH STATE +27.5 GAME 2: Purdue +28 @ #12 Penn State Well this game is i...
