Last Week 2-5

Disclaimer: I’m not an expert. I’m just a fan who likes to watch football and gamble on games. No one is actually good at this. Bet responsibly.

Arkansas +3.5

This is the ultimate letdown for LSU. They could not be riding any higher right now after beating Alabama at home. Here is the secret though, is that that this Alabama team is not the same as the Alabama teams we have seen in the past. It’s a good win but it’s not as good as everyone thinks. Now LSU has to play a decent Arkansas team who is going to be out for blood after getting embarrassed last week. This has trouble all over it.

Purdue +6.5

This is going against Illinois more than going for Purdue. It feels like a little bit of this Illinois run has been right place right time. They got hot at the right time when teams like Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota were at their worst. The game against Michigan State felt like reality coming back to Illinois. I think Purdue bounces back this week and gives Illinois trouble.

Tulane ML

Tulane is hosting the biggest game of recent memory in New Orleans. I rust what Coach Hall has going on at Tulane. They have impressive wins on their schedule, and this feels like a game they are destined to win.

Baylor -2.5

Kansas State has collapsed since their hot start in Big 12 play. They are slowing down and Baylor is speeding up and getting better. Going down to Waco this is a bad spot for them.

Texas -7

Now is finally the time it feels like TCU comes back to reality. I know they are #4 right now and they should be based on what has happened to this point. But if watch the other teams in the top 10 play, and then watch TCU, it is obvious they are not on the same level. Texas is a good team that has been waiting for its moment this season and this feel like the time for them to make a statement. 7 is big, but I think Texas fires all cannons on TCU this weekend.

Wake Forrest -4

Despite the back-to-back embarrassing losses, I still believe in Wake Forrest. Lucky for them, they also play potentially the worst one-loss team in the country in North Carolina. Hosting a beatable team at home seems like what Wake Forrest needs to get back on track for the rest of the season.

Auburn ML

Auburn and Texas A&M both being 3 win teams in November feels weird, but this is the reality that we live in. This game will be ugly, it will be sad, and it will be an Auburn win simply because they are the home team.

Syracuse +7

Syracuse has fallen from the top since their impressive start. The Orange have lost three straight and now have a tough opponent in Florida State coming to the dome. I think this is a good spot for Syracuse to make this game interesting. 7 is a lot of points for a home game. Syracuse has the talent to compete in ACC play and I think they will show up saturday.

Navy +15.5

Notre Dame is coming off the biggest win of the season over Clemson. Now they have to travel to Annapolis to play a disappointing Navy team. It feels like this happens every year where Navy plays an opponent as huge underdogs and is able to keep it close just because of the triple option. THere offense chews up so much time off the clock, if Navy and score once or twice in the first half it’s hard to pull away from them. It will take a lot for the midshipmen to win this game, but I think there undervalued in this situation.
