Above the fold
Abby Picks, Year 4 Week 8
Skunked! Well not totally, but Abby’s picks stunk at a minimum last week.
The only thing you can do when a dog gets skunked is to wash her down with some tomato juice and hope that it doesn’t happen again.
Luckily she has a lot of padding on her paws to cushion the 2-6 performance last week. Overall she’s 24-18 in the won/loss column, 37-26 in bones, and the hunch bet won to bring that year long to a solid 6-1.
Moving along.
- Memphis -2 at UCF — In a Friday night coin flip game take the better team on the road and hope they can win at the very end of what will be a back and forth game. One bone.
- Texas St at Georgia St -10 1/2 and Colorado at California – 8 — Two lines caught Abby’s eyes this week that looked like weird outliers v the teams’ performance to date. Georgia St and California have no business being big favorites in these games. So, Abby says take them in a parlay. One bone to win three bones.
- Oregon +1 at UCLA — Abby’s going with the better team on the road again in another coin flip game. Cristobal is an under-the-radar, underrated coach. One bone.
- Mississippi St at Vanderbilt +21 — Vandy is not good and that’s being polite. If Miss St loses this game Mike Leach will be called not good and that’s being polite. He won’t, but the Bulldogs won’t cover either. One bone.
- LSU ML at Ole Miss — Who knows if LSU will play for themselves or come out dead flat with the Coach O news this week? Abby doesn’t love LSU to win but loves the value in the bet. One bone to win three bones.
- USC at Notre Dame -6 1/2 — For the third time the bet is the better team but this time ND is the home team. Expect it close for three quarters then the Irish pour it on. One bone.
Six bones to win ten, four chalks, three dogs, and one big can of tomato juice.
Woof!
Comment section
I see Ole Miss as an 8 point favorite at this moment. I think they win by 11. I also see that Oregon score and double down. Super Mario will make a QB change and smoke the baby bears.
The Baby Bears didn’t get smoked but Mario did get them all the way back from 14-0 to cover. Nice call on OM. O’s team looked very disinterested after a strong start.
