Predicting the games and who covers the spread. Covering multiple sports and leagues.
CFB: Penn State @ Ohio State -18.5
There has only been 7 top 10 match ups in 40 years where there has been a spread this big. The record: 5-2 for favorite winning. I don’t feel comfortable making this pick but I’m betting the numbers, not the team. OSU -18.5
CFB: SMU @ Navy -3.5
Anytime a non-ranked team is favored over a ranked team, take the un-ranked team. Navy -3.5
CFB: Memphis @ USF O/U 60
Memphis is averaging 41.4 points per game. USF is averaging 23.3 PPG. I like the over here. Memphis has one of the most explosive offenses in football.
CFB: Minnesota -13.5 @ Northwestern
Northwestern has scored an average of 6 points against current ranked teams. Minnesota has scored over 30 in all Big 10 games except a great Iowa Defense. Going with Minnesota -13.5
CFB: UCLA @ USC -13.5
USC looked really good last game. I expect their best for this rivalry. USC -13.5
NBA: Lakers -7.5 @ Grizzlies
I’m a Grizz fan, but we suck. Lakers are good. That’s it. Lakers -7.5
BONUS: CFB: Harvard @ Yale -7.5
I couldn’t leave this off. I know nothing about these teams other than Harvard is 4-5 and Yale is 8-1. Seems like it should be a bigger spread since it’s at Yale. Again, I know nothing about this game. Yale -7.5
