College Football Championship Week Picks

Image
By Colin Dixon, December 4th 2019 Picture Via @OhioStateFB Twitter The time has finally came, it is Championship Week and I cannot be more ready to go. This may or may not be the last set of picks for the year based on what my schedule is upcoming with me moving around and going to my new home. Anyways this upcoming week is filled with a great slate of football with teams battling out for the conference championships. But before we get into I need to give my update on how I did last week. I ended up getting back to my old ways and going 6-4. My four losses were because Illinois could not handle the hype and actually lost to Northwestern, then Minnesota as well could not handle any sort of hype and lost to Wisconsin as Dawgs, then Tennessee did not fail like the other teams but they just did not cover, and then lastly the Arizona State Sun Devils won their game by 10 and not 14 but thats okay another positive week in the books. My Championship Week picks are below but there are onl...

What Is Going On With The Rams?

Image
By Colin Dixon, November 29th 2019 Picture Via @RamsNFL Twitter It has been a while since I wrote about my Rams but the time has finally come. This year has been a mess and I am truly at a loss for words on what is going on. They sit at 6-5 entering week 13 and they are coming off as brutal of a loss as possible when they lost to the Ravens 45-6. A couple weeks ago, maybe even just a couple days ago I would have told you the Rams only problem was their QB Jared Goff who has been awful but their defense was just exposed in ways they have never been before. Entering Monday Night they had statistically been the best defense in November but they gave up double what they had given up all month on Monday Night. I get it Lamar Jackson is the MVP and not many teams have had an answer to stopping him, but 45 points in unacceptable. Jackson threw 5 touchdowns and he is supposed to just be a running QB and I get it he has been amazing throwing this year but the have a top 5 corner in Jal...

College Football week #14 Picks

Image
By Colin Dixon, November 28th 2019 Picture Via @IlliniFootball Twitter Rivalry week is here and I am so excited! One of the best weeks of college football every year with all the emotion and all the battles that go down in history. This set of picks comes a day later and on the great holiday of Thanksgiving and one of the things I am very thankful for is football. Last week was another great week of betting for myself and I went 7-2-1 in the picks last week. Oklahoma State won by 7 and their line was 7 so that was my push, then Fresno State blew their 14 point lead, and lastly in the Hawaii vs SDSU game it was 14-10 and the O/U was 49 so that sucked. Either way only 2 losses is great! Here is my rivalry week picks below: GAME 1: #3 Clemson -27.5 @ South Carolina I do not have much to say besides this means war and my Tigers will not back down from their rival that they have blasted in the past and will continue to do it this Saturday. GO TIGERS!! MY PICK: ALL IN -27.5  G...

College Football Week #13 Picks

Image
By Colin Dixon, November 20th 2019 Picture via @CowboyFB Twitter After another very fun weekend of football where we took a step in the right direction and I went 7-3 and I am loving the progress. Just a great weekend of football leading into a week where there is one big game and besides that it will be a slow week leading into an action packed rivalry week in week 14. But we're in week 13 and we are ready to go. Looking back at week 12 I went 7-3 and my losses came from Minnesota who was an extra point away from pushing but they shanked it when looking to come back in their upset loss to Iowa, Oklahoma came back from down 28-3 and won but they did not cover the -10.0 spread and lastly UCLA got ran by Utah and failed me there. Below are my week 13 picks and wow 13 weeks in thats crazy: GAME 1: #8 Penn State +18.0 @ #2 Ohio State I take Penn State any time they are on this blog, and the only couple times Ohio State appeared I picked them as well. This game is tough and I so...

College Football Week #12 Picks

Image
By Colin Dixon, November 13th 2019 Picture Via @AlabamaFTBL Twitter Another week another 6-4 record after another great weekend slate of football. This weekend was much better than last weekend for my personal bets but we enjoy sitting at 6-4 again after these top 10 picks. My four losses were tough, Oregon State blew their cover after making a late comeback, Penn State was dismantled by Minnesota and their high powered offense, West Virginia was an awful underdog to pick where they got blown out at home, and lastly my under between Wisconsin and Iowa was hitting and was looking great until the fourth quarter and both teams decided to score some points. A great weekend with a lot of bigs games, but this weekend is just the same and I am ready for it with these picks below: GAME 1: #5 Alabama -19.0 @ Mississippi State Alabama suffered their first loss of the season after a tough battle against LSU but Alabama has a huge bounce back game ahead of them. Miss State is sitting at 4-...
