Rare is the Saturday that you take Vegas’ lunch money, but last weekend Abby did just that.

Rare was the steak that she bought and devoured enjoying her doggone good picking prowess.  That pushed her performance season to date to 18 wins and 11 losses, 28 bones won versus only 15 lost, and a still perfect 5-0 hunch bet result.

Even rarer would be doing it two weeks in a row.  Safety first is her motto this week as she doesn’t like chasing parked cars.

1.  Arizona St -13 v Stanford and Washington St +3 1/2 v Oregon St. — Our west coast parlay pairs an odd couple.  Do the Sun Devils deserve to be favored by double digits over a team that beat Oregon last week? No.  Oregon St is playing solid football and has won four in a row.  Washington St?  Not so much. The west coast has a lot of odd couples.   One bone to win three bones.
2.  Georgia at Auburn over 47 —  Georgia has not allowed a point in two straight weeks and only 23 in five games!  Auburn’s D bends but does not break.   Therefore, forty-seven seems high.  Both are due for a defensive letdown.  One bone.
3.  LSU +3 1/2 at Kentucky — Fire Ed Orgeron!  The offensive line is offensive!  The playcalling stinks!  Kentucky is undefeated.  They are at home.  They just whooped Florida.  This is their year.  You get the one-sided picture.  Abby loves a good zig when others zag as you may have heard before.  Two bones.
4.  Wisconsin -11 at Illinois —  In most games, Wisconsin doesn’t even score 11 points.  But, Abby thinks the Badgers are angry and we know the Fighting Illini have little fight.  Two bones.
5.  Oklahoma -3 1/2 v Texas — Two future SEC teams renew their annual Dallas dogfight.   The Longhorns have been playing better of late, while the Sooners have been stumbling around.  That trend reverses itself Saturday.  One bone.
6.  Michigan at Nebraska +3 1/2 — These two fan bases have a love-hate relationship with their head coaches.  Harbaugh is going to hate it, and Frost is going to love it when Nebraska kicks a last-second field goal to win this one straight up. One bone.

Alabama takes their talents to College Station tomorrow to face a reeling Aggie group.  Abby sees a close Bama cover but likes the under 51 1/2 on a hunch.

Woof!!
