College Football Bettors Guide.

There's only 16 games overall this entire week how exciting. It is however, championship week in some teams' cases. For the sake of niggaitis there's no true need to explain myself in most of these games.

Last week: 9-5 straight up; 5-8-1 against the spread.

Past month: 47-19 straight up; 31-33-1 against the spread.

Tonight-
Middle Tennessee State @ Louisiana-Lafayette (-5): Both teams are going in opposite directions. MTSU has won 3 straight while ULL has lost 3 straight. ULL was in the hunt for the Sun Belt title prior to their slide. The winner here becomes bowl eligible with their 6th win. I'm gonna go with the home team. Louisiana-Lafayette 28 Middle Tennessee State 20

Tommorrow-
Louisville (+10) @ Rutgers (730pm-ESPN): It feels so long ago but 2 years ago this game was what put Rutgers into national prominence when they beat then #3 Louisville in a Thursday night thriller. What's at stake here this time though? Not much, except for Rutgers maybe a better bowl bid? Louisville pisses me off spreadwise yet it's like an ex that you get good dome from- you keep comin back. But they play each other fairly close usually. Rutgers 31 Louisville 24

Friday-
#12 Ball State (-15) vs. Buffalo (8pm-ESPN): The MAC title game. Ball State is undefeated and figures to steamroll past the pesky Bulls who have made themselves notorious for winning in the last minute/OT. There will be no OT. Ball State will stomp on their throats and not let go, unlike some of UB's other opponents. And for the sake of Central Michigan/Western Michigan Ball State can ill afford to give Buffalo an automatic berth. Ball State 42 Buffalo 21

Saturday-
Army vs. Navy (-11) (Noon-CBS): As usual, Navy's goin bowlin and Army's goin nowhere but that's usually the furthest thing from your mind when these two power running teams play each other. Navy is the much better team though. Navy 34 Army 17

#23 Pittsburgh (+3) @ Connecticut (Noon): Pitt for the 2nd year in a row won the Backyard Brawl with rival West Virginia and looks to continue to put a stamp on finally a season where they reached expectations. There's not much on the line for either team except for momentum heading into their bowl game. UConn's favored bc they're at home. Don't buy it. Pittsburgh 23 Connecticut 20

East Carolina @ Tulsa (-13) (Noon-ESPN): The C-USA championship game. But it's being played in Tulsa, where Tulsa is impregnable straight up and ATS. Lately they've been able to be slowed down which is true. Just not at home. Remember when people were tabbing ECU as the next big BCS buster and they moved up to #13 in the rankings after 2 weeks? Yeah, me either. The Tulsa Show successfully defends their title. Tulsa 45 East Carolina 28

#17 Boston College (PK) vs. #25 Virginia Tech (1pm- ABC): Va Tech in case yall didn't know are the defending ACC champs. And this is actually a rematch of last year's snoozer in which Va Tech won. It's only fitting that it's a pick'em game. Boston College 20 Virginia Tech 14

Washington (+35.5) @ California (3pm): I would like to think that Washington after having 2 weeks to think about how they somehow lost to the Wazzu Horror Show would at least TRY to make Ty Willingham come out a winner against the spread at the VERY LEAST. Please? California 45 Washington 10

#1 Alabama vs. #4 Florida (-9.5) (4pm-CBS): Florida=spread covering machines. This will be their toughest challenge to date no doubt. But hey, until it breaks, don't try to fix what you've been doin. Florida 31 Alabama 17

#5 USC (-33) @ UCLA (430pm- ABC): We'll see you back in Pasadena on January 1st USC. USC 38 UCLA 3

Arkansas State (+11) @ Troy (7pm): This is the defacto Sun Belt title game I suppose. I don't know anythin about numbers though. Troy 34 Arkansas State 24

South Florida (+7.5) @ West Virginia (8pm): Zzzzzz no drama zzzzzzz. Zzzzz..ohh wait, USF has beat WVU 2 straight years. Make it three for these 2 schizo as fuck disappointments. South Florida 21 West Virginia 17

Arizona State @ Arizona (-11) (8pm): I can't take a team seriously that even though they won 34-9 did so with 4 DEFENSIVE TDs and only had 112 yards of total offense. Nor can I take a team seriously that lost to UNLV. Arizona 35 Arizona State 14

#20 Missouri vs. #2 Oklahoma (-17) (8pm-ABC): The Big 12 title game. Mizzou is lookin for the Twist of Fate (in other words- they want to KO Oklahoma from the NC game the same way OU did to them last year). God Bless Chase Daniel and company but their firepower is nothing compared to Sam Bradford. Yeah yeah yeah stranger things have happened...umm how about no. Oklahoma 49 Mizzou 28

#13 Cincinnati @ Hawaii (+7.5) (1130pm- ESPN2): Aww the last regular season game of the year. You gotta envy Cincy, they won their conference the day before playing their game. That game was against Syracuse for Christ sakes. Then they get to go to Hawaii in the fun and the sun knowing they're the Big East champs. And then they go to the Orange Bowl after that. Receipe for an upset. Hawaii 24 Cincinnati 21.

And so on.
