Year To Date: 17-23-1 (-7.4 units)

We’ve officially reached the end of the road for this college football regular season. What was once a hot start has taken a complete nosedive as we find ourselves down a good bit of money. So because of this there’s only one thing left to do, go balls to the wall for Conference Championship Week. I will be making a pick for every game in a last ditch effort before Bowl Season to get back to a respectable record. Fair warning, these picks will not be backed by analytics or crazy stats, simply vibes. This process has worked for us in the past, so let’s pray luck is on our side again.

Jacksonville State -4.5 vs Western Kentucky

Tyler Huff has proven to be a game changer on the ground this season

Rich Rodriguez’s team comes into this one still stewing over their loss to the Hilltoppers to end the regular season. Look for Jacksonville State to rely heavily on the run game highlighted by star running back Tre Stewart (1400 rush yards, 20 TD) and a very mobile quarterback in Tyler Huff (1176 rush yards, 13 TD).

Army +5 vs Tulane

Another team with a run heavy script, I expect Army to control the ball and the game clock in this one. Tulane has a bad run defense, and if Army can make a few stops on the defensive end I don’t see this game becoming a blowout by any stretch of the imagination.

UNLV +4.5 vs Boise State

For one final time this regular season, we take a trip to the Hajj-Mahal

Everyone and their mothers know how much I love this UNLV team, it’s no secret. The Rebels have a real chance at pulling off the outright upset in this one to practically clinch a spot in the College Football Playoffs, but they face one of the best players in the entire country on the other sideline. Ashton Jeanty doesn’t look like he’s going to bring home a Heisman Trophy, but look for him to play with a chip on his shoulder to prove the doubters wrong. These two matched up earlier in the season in a game that ended up being a one score final, I think this one is going to be much of the same. A ssomeone who has a future on UNLV to make the playoffs (not to brag) I will be fully rooting on the Rebels here in a true win or go home game.

Miami (OH) -2 vs Ohio

Not much to think about in this one. Miami (OH) starting quarterback Brett Gabbert is the younger brother of former NFL QB Blaine Gabbert. Enough for me.

Arizona State Moneyline vs Iowa State

Cam Skattebo has become a star during Arizona State’s surprising season

The ultimate vibes team this season. I’ll be backing Kenny Dillingham’s Sun Devils as they look to ride star running back Cam Skattebo until the wheels fall off. Iowa State aren’t slouches, expect this one to be back and forth, but how can you not back the team that was projected to finish dead last in their conference heading into the season?

Texas-Georgia Under 49.5

At different points in the season both Texas and Georgia looked like they could be the best team in the country. Both will be making the playoffs, but both squads have shown that they have some warts. While either side can put up points in a hurry, they have also proved that their units have a bit of Jekyll and Hyde to them. The level of talent the Longhorns and Bulldogs have on the defensive side of the ball also makes me feel safe picking this number, I just don’t see either side going for broke when they both know they already have playoff spots wrapped up.

Marshall +5.5 vs Louisiana

The Thundering Herd are 11-1 this season against the spread, that’s all I need to hear. We back Marshall in this household.

Clemson-SMU over 55.5

Expect Kevin Jennings to light up the scoreboard for the Mustangs

While it probably shouldn’t be the case, this may end up being another win or go home game. SMU should make the playoffs regardless of outcome here, but we all know how these committee’s operate. The Mustangs need to win this one or face the real threat of another SEC team stealing their bid to the big dance. Clemson is on the outside looking in, so you know they are going to leave it all out there in an attempt to sneak into one of those first four seeds. I expect Kevin Jennings and Cade Klubnik to use both their arms and legs to put up big numbers, neother side has an outstanding defensive unit so their might be an opportunity to expose some weak points.

Penn State +3.5 vs Oregon

*This is a complete homer take, be warned* Oregon is not going to win the Big 10 in their first season in the conference, I simply will not allow it. Penn State has not had a true test this year besides playing in a close game against Ohio State, a game in which they should have realistically won. Not only do I think Penn State covers, I think they pose a real threat of winning outright. WE ARE.
