Armageddon

Tonight is probably the biggest college game of the year so far with Alabama visiting LSU, but more on that later.  We're in 8th place going into today's action and we have a good list of games.

Mississippi State, Florida, and Oregon State all lost for the first time last week so we're picking against them.  Out of all these matchups we especially like Texas A&M and we got it early in the week at -6.

Notre Dame should be looking for some style points today against Pitt and 3 Pitt players got into some legal trouble this week so that made it an easy pick.  Some Idaho players got dismissed from the team as well so they should get smashed also.

We took Oregon early in the week because we think they're much better than USC.  This is a pretty big game too, but definitely overshadowed by Alabama-LSU.  In the big game we like LSU because they were embarrassed in the national championship game 21-0 and they didn't gain 100 yards offensively, they barely crossed the 50 yard line.  So they should be ultra focused playing a home game at night in Death Valley and coming off a bye week.

Update
We're kicking ourselves for not getting in on LSU earlier when it was 9.5.  Why did we wait?  Greed.  We wanted 10, but should have realized the line was soft.  Most of the money has been coming in on Alabama, allegedly, yet the line went down to 7.5, so if you believe that there's only one possibly explanation.  Sportsbooks are hedging their bets because they know that LSU us the right side.  Nobody knows more about each side of a game than oddsmakers.  Nobody.  It's their job to know everything.  When a line looks off - it's you that doesn't know everything.  I'm still confident in the 7.5 but wish we had 2 more points.  We were not sharp on this one.  Square, very square.

We're also taking Indiana.  Free pick from a trusted associate that we trust, blindly.
