For the third time in ten weeks Abby had to pay the man. When you lose 6 bones ($66) and win 4 ($40) you slowly run out of money unless you are the US government.
Luckily for Abby the year-to-date totals still look good, so she doesn’t need a paw out (aka handout). Ten weeks deep her won-loss record is 37-27, the bones won are 55 v 38 surrendered.
We must give a special shoutout on her hunch bet. She took Army v Air Force under the thirty-seven points total. The game went to overtime and the under still won the day. The hunch stands tall like the soldiers that competed at 8-1 for the season.
- West Virginia at Kansas St -6 –K St at home is a significantly better team than on the road. WV on the road is a significantly worse team than at home. One bone.
- Michigan at Penn St under 49 — This feels like a game that a late field goal wins it somewhere in the 20-17 range.
Woody Hayes didn’t like either of these teams but would like the three yards and a pile of dirt scrum. One bone. - Notre Dame -5 1/2 at Virginia — ND has had some closes finishes. This one covers late, however. Two bones.
- Oklahoma at Baylor under 62 — Abby’ll bite. This one almost seems too good. Aranda will have them ready to defend the Okla O. One bone.
- NC State at Wake Forest -1 — Will Wake be hungover from the sting of the Tarheel come from behind victory? Maybe for a series or two. That O can go. One bone.
- Stanford + 12 at Oregon St — Abby’ll bite again. This line seems so out of whack that normally she would take the zig. But 12 points and the Cardinal seems too juicy. One bone.
- Mississippi St at Auburn -5 — Auburn went to College Station and got stuffed. We smell an angry rebound and a close cover. One bone.
- Texas A&M -2 at Ole Miss — A road favorite after a big home win in the SEC is dangerous. A&M is a better team in the trenches than Ole Miss and the Black Bears (formerly Rebels) are banged up. Two bones.
Arkansas travels to Death Valley to face LSU. We’re sending one of our staff members to cover the game. LSU is going to play two QB’s. Arkansas likes to run the ball. The total at 59 looks way too high. The under seems like a sure bet. Abby will take the over on another crazy hunch.
Woof!
