This week’s reason I should be the next Commissioner of the Big Ten …
My business acumen came through for friends and family who like me a whole lot better than they did last week at this time.
I said to put down a smallish flier – always, always, ALWAYS invest the exact amount on every game, and never, ever, EVER deviate from that number – on the money line for Louisiana +340 against Iowa State, Arkansas State +310 vs. Kansas State, and – oops – Syracuse +750 vs. North Carolina. Hitting 2-of-3 is a nice day.
In this season of all seasons, keep on pumping the money line, because the upsets are going to continue.
I needed to do something right to make up for this …
The sure-thing, 100%, rock-solid lock, sell the house, sell the kids, no doubt about it picks of the century for this week
PICK SO FAR: 5-2 SU, 3-5 ATS
Round Two of, I Gave You Louisiana Last Week And For It, Did I Get A Delightful Tray Of Fine Cheeses And Biscuits? Nooooooo.
However, let’s just cheerfully forget the misfires on Syracuse +22, Kansas -7 and Florida State -12 in a 1-3 ATS Week 2, shall we?
Fortunately, all these picks are correct.
– Syracuse +21 at Pitt (Pitt straight up … YOU OWE ME, Orange)
– Navy +8.5 at Tulane (Tulane straight up … no way Navy is that soft two games in a row)
– Over on the Oklahoma State at Tulsa 65.5 total
– Appalachian State -3.5 at Marshall
Bet on any of all these games at BetMGM. Please.

After this total train wreck of a column …
