Home Forums Skybox Sports Bar Selections Central Pipe’s Picks

Last week’s results were brutal. Texas up 34-10 in the 3rd pushed, Gunner Stockton takes a knee at the one walking in to cover, cal throws a pick 6 late. That’s how the ball bounces sometimes. Looking to pull out of the hole today.

NCAAF 21-24-3 (-21.6 units)

4 units UGA@Miss st over 56

Last time these two met the result was a 41-31 Uga win late. Miss st has one of the fastest receiving corps in the Sec, and has been in several shootouts already. Georgia’s struggles in the secondary are widely known. The fact that UGA is one of the worse teams in the country rushing the passer doesn’t help either. On the flip side Miss st’s defense will be exploited my this Georgia running game. Give me over 56 points.

3 units Mizzou +7 vs Tex AM

The Aggies are undefeated, and on paper the better team. Yes that’s right Mizzou is starting a true freshman at QB. I don’t care…Mizzou has its back against the wall at home, and can lean on their defense and run game get the job done. I expect the Aggies to have to fight hard to escape this one with a narrow 3 point win. Give me Mizzou +7

5 units Iowa +7 vs Oregon

Bad situation and matchup for the ducks. On the road in a tough environment with terrible weather conditions. Iowa is going to Iowa, and wants to pull Oregon out in the deep end. Can the Lamborghini run on unleaded gas? No, I don’t think it can. Although Oregon has some great physical players and talent, I don’t think their team as a whole will thrive in this style of game. I think Iowa has a chance to win this straight. Take Iowa +7 buying the half.

4 units James Madison -13.5 @ Marshall

James Madison continues to be one of the most complete teams in the Group of Five — efficient on offense, elite against the run, and well-coached. The Dukes have dominated inferior opponents all season, covering big spreads with ease thanks to a defense that ranks near the top nationally in yards per play allowed. Marshall, meanwhile, has been trending the opposite direction. The Herd’s offense has struggled to sustain drives, and their defense has been gashed in recent weeks, giving up over 35 points per game in their last four.play James Madison -13.5

3 units Hawaii +7 vs slam deigo st

Hawaii has quietly been improving week by week, especially on offense. Quarterback Brayden Schager has found a rhythm in the passing game, and the Warriors’ tempo and spacing create real problems for a San Diego State defense that’s struggled against spread attacks.San Diego State, on the other hand, hasn’t shown much offensive consistency. The Aztecs rank near the bottom of the FBS in passing efficiency and have averaged under 20 points per game over the last month. Play Hawaii +7

NCAAF 26-30-3 (-24.8 units)

4* Mizzou/sooners first half under 21.5

Expecting a sleepy start in this 11:00 am local kick. Both teams lead by defense…This is not a good match up for the tigers vs one of the best defensive minds in the game. We just need to fade a pick 6 or multiple turnovers to stay under early.

5* Florida +4 vs Tennessee

Rivalry game and the Vols have not won in the swamp since the early 2000s. Strength on strength game where Gators will match up well on the lines of scrimmage. I see this one coming down to a fg

5* Oregon -6 first half vs USC

This is a bad matchup for USC. On the road vs a big play offense, and Ore needs a top 25 win in the worst way. I see the ducks jumping up early and cruising.

4* Nebraska +7.5 @ Penn st

I expect this to be a rock fight in classic big 10 fashion. I do not see either of these teams getting to far away from the other.

4* BYU -3 @ cinci

This is a bad matchup on the lines of scrimmage for cinci. Their wheels have fallen off, and I expect the cougars to lean on them and pull away in the second half.
