It’s the biggest game of the year. scUM comes to our grass in yet another attempt to beat a Dantonio led squad. The results for the scUMbags so far have been pretty miserable.
The gang is coming over to the Doofus Deck to watch the game along with other more mundane games. Bruce will want to watch Northwestern, Mr. H will find out again that Harvard is not televised while Dan will be watching his navel. He likes his navel.
They will all be consuming various beverages from my whiskey and bourbon closet, chowing down on food lovingly prepared by Mrs Doofus.
No bets on the game nor analysis. You can get much better insight from the Spartanmag and other sites. I’m just going to four fingers of some Jameson’s Caskmates by my side and hope history repeats itself. “He has trouble with the snap!”

I will make predictions on other games though in preparation for GO JUMBO.
First, I’m going to ratchet back laying double digit points on road favorites. That strategy really backfired last weekend.
Here are this week's quatloo bets:
UNLV +10.0- vs Air Force – Air Force laying double digits on the road. I’m a sceptic.
Virginia +7.0 @ Duke – The Cav’s out turnover chained Miami(FL) last week and kept them out of the end zone for 57 minutes. The Cavs can keep the game within a TD.
Houston -11.5 @ Navy – Conversely, Houston can lay double digits. Navy’s defense is sunk.
Cincinnati +3.0 @ Temple – The BearCat defense has been tight all year long allowing a mere 14 points per game. Now the offense is joining the fun averaging 40 points per game over the last three. Temple may be looking ahead to UCF. With a week off, Cincinnati wins the game outright.

Syracuse -9.0 vs North Carolina – Syracuse let Clemson beat them twice when the lost to Pitt. Now they have had week off to recover. It’s the Heels turn to have a hangover with coming off a last second loss to Va Tech last week.
Coastal Carolina +3.5 @ UMass – The Minutemen score a ton of points but the defense lets up just a few more. The wrong team is favored.
Georgia Southern -11.5 @ New Mexico State – Another game where I can’t help myself and will lay double digits on the road. Ga Southern has one of the best ground games going. NMSU has the worst run defense. Could get ugly in Las Cruces.
Buffalo PK @ Toledo – Toledo’s defense lets up so many points that the offense can’t keep up. The Bulls are balanced and rolling. Rockets explode on take off.

UL Lafayette +25.5 @ Appalachian State – App State’s near miss at Penn State was no fluke. The Mountaineers are good, real good. Just not 25.5 points good.
I'll go with a Mini Mega on:
Hawaii -3.0 vs Nevada – The Rainbows have six wins but need another to get to a bowl and snag that swag bag.
Hawaii can throw it all over the yard and play lights out on the Island. Nevada sucks no matter where they are. The Pack pass defense is 105th overall.
Everyone but Joe (and maybe me depending on adult beverage consumption) will be in bed and miss what should be a fantastic shoot out.
And I'll go with a couple Mega Bets starting with:

Army -8.0 vs Miami (OH) – Army -8.0 vs Miami (OH) – Dwink's been crowing about Army for weeks. I’m on the bandwagon after the forced OT on Oklahoma and then crushed Buffalo and San Jose State the last two weeks.
Buffalo and Miami (OH) are about equal in the MAC. Buffalo might be slightly better. Army crushed the Bulls 42-13 in Buffalo. The Redskins are playing in West Point.
The Army keeps Rolling Along!
This one's on you Dwink. You better come through.

NC State +17.5 @ Clemson - NC State is Clemson Lite. They have solid lines and a slightly better QB. They play Clemson tight, the scores the last three years have been 38-31, 24-18 and 56-41 all Clemson wins. The Pack is not afraid of Death Valley.
The Pack's OL will keep QB Ryan Finley upright and will challenge the Tiger defense. The D will do just enought to contain Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence.
The game will be close and nowhere near 17.5 points

In the pros, no Mega Bets, they have been truly awful. I will go with a quatloo bet on
Washington -2.0 vs Dallas – The line is an overreaction to Dallas’ blow out of Jacksonville last week. The Jags were sleep walking in that one. Washington is the better team and won’t be sleepwalking in this rivalry game.
And a couple Mini Megas on:
Baltimore -2.5 vs New Orleans – The fabulous Drew Brees was spectacular last week in setting the NFL passing record. But that was at home. He struggles outdoors. Brees returns to earth as the Ravens will shut him down.
Kansas City -6.0 vs Cincinnati – Kansas City will bounce back from the tough loss to New England last week. But they return home where they play at a whole ‘nother level. Cincinnati’s offense hasn’t been the same since losing Tyler Eifert. They won’t keep up.

The Sheriff got back to his winning ways last week and hopes to keep a good thing going with these picks:
UCLA (-7.5) vs Arizona - UCLA pounded Cal 37-7 last week, but the signs of improvement were there the week before when the Bruins gave Washington all it could handle at the Rose Bowl. Khalil Tate is out with an injury so RichRod’s son Rhett will be starting at QB. UCLA should roll.
Utah (-6.5) vs USC- The two best teams in the PAC-12 South go at it Saturday night in Utah. The Utes beat Stanford two weeks ago in Palo Alto and seem to be hitting their stride.
Oregon (+3) vs Wazzu - GAMEDAY will be in Pullman for the first time ever on Saturday, but no matter what headgear Lee Corso dons, this game will be epic. Hard to bet against the Cougs at home, but the Sheriff likes Justin Herbert and the Ducks to pull off the upset.
