Good morning bettors. Wish nothing but cha ching for you today and always. Hope these picks contribute to that. Here we go.
Indiana @ Michigan State (IU -7/52) Noon
10th ranked Hoosiers in action today and plenty of value in this game. The Hooisers are averaging a whooping 37 points per game while the Spartans are allowing that exact same figure. Sparty got destroyed at Iowa last weekend, only scoring one TD in a 49-7 beat down. They had scored 27 in each of their 2 games prior. Back at home, they should be able to get things going on offense. The Hoosiers have allowed over 25 points a game. IU games have gone 3-0 to the Over, while the Spartans have gone 2-1 to the Over, with the Under being against their rival Michigan which nearly missed the Over by 1 point. The Hoosiers may get to this number by themselves, so I’m big on the Over in this matchup.
Final Score Prediction: IU 42 Michigan State 20
Bet: Over 52
Penn State @ Nebraska (PSU -3/56.5) Noon
The battle of the disappointing unbeatens square off in Lincoln today. However, these two teams are not 3 points a part, despite the disappointing start by the Nittany Lions. They should have one win against the top 10 Hoosiers, but scoring a late touchdown came to bite them in the ass. They kept up with the Buckeyes as much as they could, despite narrowly not covering a 10 point spread, and yes, they got destroyed by a Maryland team that’s actually playing decent football at the moment. Hopefully that will wake them up to beat the Cornhuskers today, who have had their own problems. They’ve scored 15 points per game in their two games this season, and against the lone common opponent, they got destroyed 52-17 by the Buckeyes. At the beginning of the season, Penn State would have been a 2 TD favorite. They should be a 1 TD favorite. They’re a FG favorite. That’s called value.
Final Score Prediction: Penn State 27 Nebraska 16
Bet: Penn State -3
SMU @ Tulsa (pk, 65.5) 7 PM
SMU ranks 7th in the country in yards per game. That should be accentuated by Tulsa’s 118th rank in penalties per game. The Mustangs have scored 39.1 points per game this season, and have scored 47 or more 4 times, including in each of the past two weeks. Defensively, they’re allowing over 32 points per game over the past 5 weeks. Tulsa’s offense may not be the same as the Mustangs, but they are scoring 36.7 points per game over their last 3 games. This should be a shootout all night long. Take the Over, which I’ll be bold, and say it hits by the start of the 4th quarter.
Final Score Prediction: SMU 52 Tulsa 49
Bet: Over 65.5
