Welcome back to the money back guarantee friends. Last week was a humbling. It’s nice to get a reality check every now and again.

Let’s face it, last week I was square as they get.

I saw this tweet Saturday morning and immediately had a pit in my stomach. As it turns out rightly so, I got my teeth kicked in

Five most-bet Top 25 college football sides (by total wagers) at @BetMGM, as of Saturday morning:

2. Alabama -14
3. Notre Dame -3
4. Clemson -4
5. Syracuse +13.5

But for every minor setback there is a major comeback and let’s start that this week. The season record now sits at 4-5 -1.42 units. Best bets are 2-0 +1.86 units. Long may that continue. Now for the picks…

Troy at Clemson -31.5 O/U 51.5

Last week was about as bad as it could have been for Clemson. A loss at home to Brian Kelly’s LSU Tigers when expectations were sky high. Now there’s no room for error for the Tigers. Dabo Klubnik and Co. right the ship this week give me the Tigers -31.5 -110.

Central Michigan at Pitt -21.5 O/U 50.5

Pitt went out and hung it on Duquesne week 1. They pulled Holstein early and the offense still did its thing. I think the Panthers take care of business and hang it on Central Michigan. Panthers -21.5 -110.

Bowling Green at Cincinnati -22.5 O/U 46.5

With all due respect to him this is a fade Drew Pyne pick. Cincy was competitive last week against Nebraska I think they’ll hang it on Bowling Green. Cincinnati -22.5 -110.

Baylor at SMU -2.5 O/U 62.5

Tough loss for Baylor week 1 they just couldn’t contain the Auburn ground game and lost the line of scrimmage. But the world is not ending in Waco. I think the Baylor passing attack flashed plenty in week 1 to make me believe in the Bears here. Michael Trigg, remember the name. Baylor +2.5 -110.

Best Bet

Georgia Southern at USC -28.5 O/U 60.5

I don’t think anyone in the country is holding more USC Trojan stock than me. They absolutely hung it on Missouri State. Riley pulled the starters after the first half and they still hung 73 on Missouri State. Georgia Southern is a step up in competition for sure but I love USC -28.5 -115 and the Trojans team total over 44.5 -130.
