Sobriety is just around the corner. After an alcohol infused GO JUMBO weekend the Doofus is just about dried out. Haven’t had much chance to look at this weekend’s game so the picks are sure to take a hit.
The SEC is pretty much taking the weekend off by scheduling cupcakes before their rivalry games. And the SEC is not the only conference with blow outs on tap. There are a ton of big spreads this week
In Top 25 action
Colorado +32.0 @ 2. Oregon – Ducks get a layup on their way to the playoffs. Too many points for me though. I’ll take the Buffs
Boston College +17.5 @ 3. Florida State – Let down scenario for the Noles after last weeks big comeback over the Canes. The Eagles will keep this one close. I’m taking BC
Vanderbilt +30.0 @ 4. Mississippi State – The Bulldogs could be looking ahead to the Egg Bowl against Ole Miss. Vandy is bad but showing slight improvement lately. I’ll take the massive points.
Indiana +35.0 @ 6. Ohio State – Another look ahead situation for the BuckNuts. The Hoosiers have been a disaster all year but should be able to keep this within 5 TDs
Oklahoma State +30.0 @ 7. Baylor – Revenge game for the Bears after the Pokes blew out Baylor 49-17 last year. But too many points for me. I’ll take OSU

8. Ole Miss -3.5 @ Arkansas – One of the best games of the weekend. The Rebs could still make the SEC championship game if they win this and next week against the other MSU and Auburn beats Bama. Ole Miss is coming off a bye while the Hogs are coming off a huge win over LSU. The hook at home looks real tempting. I’ll take Bielema’s boys
19. USC +4.0 @ 9. UCLA – Huge rivalry game! These two teams are about equal and the spread is about right. The Sheriff likes UCLA but he’s betting with his heart. I’ll take the Trojans and the points.
Rutgers +22.0 @ 11. Michigan State – Tons of points but I always take the Spartans. Dobby’s boys will get destroyed.
Washington State +16.0 @ 13. Arizona State - Rebound game for the Forks after huge gaffe against Oregon State last week. Washington State is a mess. I’ll lay the points.
15. Arizona +4.5 @ 17. Utah – Another interesting matchup. But Zona is overrated. Utah leads the nation in sacks and is devastating at home. I’ll lay the points.

16. Wisconsin -10.0 @ Iowa – Melvin Gordon secured a place at the Heisman presentation by ripping off 409 yards last week. But can the Badgers keep up the intensity they had against Nebraska? This one is a tough call. But when in doubt take the points. I’ll take the Hawkeyes at Kinnock
20. Missouri +3.5 @ Tennessee - If the Tigers win this game and next week against Arkansas they are in the SEC championship. Mizzou is at full strength with the return of WR Darius White. The Vols have settled on a QB and are on a two game win streak. Another tough call so I’ll take the Tigers and the points.
Kansas +26.0 @ 21. Oklahoma – What has gotten into Kansas lately? They beat Iowa State and then nearly upset TCU last week. The answer - good coaching after firing Ol’ Front Butt at the beginning of the season. Oklahoma will be missing QB Trevor Knight (neck) and WR Sterling Shepard (groin). I’ll take the improving Jayhawks and the points.
25. Minnesota +10.0 @ 23.Nebraska – Good matchup. Two teams needing a rebound. Minnesota coming off crushing near miss against OSU. Nebraska just got plain old crushed by Wisconsin. Huskers are much better at home but I’ll take the Goofers and the points.

24. Louisville +3.0 @ Notre Dame – Domers in free fall after losses to Arizona State and Northwestern. Mark put out calls for prayers for the ND defense which is getting shredded. But Louisville is starting a freshman QB after starter Will Gardner went down last week. BBofG says take the away team when the spread is 3.0 or less. Cardinals it is
Since there is still some Irish whiskey flowing around the capillaries I’ll pass on Mega Bets but I will take some Mini Megas on
Boston College +17.5 @ Florida State
Utah -4.0 vs Arizona
La Tech -12.0 @ Old Dominion – La Tech is churning out the points. Old Dominion’s defense is pathetic letting up 50 TDs over 10 weeks. Bulldogs are coming off a bye. I’ll lay the points in what should be a blow out.
I’ll also do a Point Whore Parlay on
Minnesota +10.0 @ Nebraska
Kansas +26.0 @ Oklahoma
New Mexico +22.0 @ Colorado State

And the Sheriff will try to rebound from a disappointing week last week with
Cal (+5.5) over Stanford. Both of these teams are 5-5 and needing a win for Bowl eligibility. Cal, however, was 1-11 last year and would consider any Bowl game a miraculous event. Stanford has been to 4 consecutive BCS games (including the last 2 Rose Bowls), and seen its high hopes for this season dissolve into ashes. I think Cal is going to want this game more than “Furd”, and it’s in Berkeley, too. Cactus Bowl * here we come!
Doofus: The Doofus' heart bet won big last week. Let's see if it works for the Sheriff
UCLA (-3.5) over USC. After being left for dead a month ago after consecutive losses to Utah and Oregon, UCLA’s hopes for a PAC-12 Championship are alive again. If UCLA wins out, it will play Oregon in the PAC-12 Championship game. If USC wins and Arizona State loses one game, USC wins the PAC-12 South. Both teams have been playing well lately, but I think Brett Hundley’s ability to run will make the difference here (Hundley has averaged 88 yards rushing per game over the last 5 games). Should be a great game.
Doofus: Great rivalry game. I'll take the points.
Utah (-4) over Arizona. The toughest, best-coached team in the PAC-12 just keeps rolling along even though they have had one of the toughest stretches in college football the last month (at Stanford, Oregon, at Arizona State, USC). RichRod’s team, on the other hand, BARELY hung on to beat Washington and looks to be trending downward as the season progresses. I think Utah will win this game handily at home.
Doofus: I like this pick. Utah at Rice-Eggles is a force unless they drop the ball before getting into the endzone
