We have some things to cover including the game tonight.
Upset Alert -- Dave and I have reanalyzed the game with the Packers and Falcons in Atlanta. Falcons are 6 point dogs so we are moving our money to that side of the line instead of the Packers. A few reasons here, Matty Ice is incredible at home, the Packers secondary is not very good and still beat up, although they had a scare the Falcons got on track last week in Seattle. Traveling across country and winning a road game is tough to do no matter who you are playing. I definitely like the points here but to be honest I think Atlanta wins this game outright!
I am also looking at changing my OK State pick, I think I will take Oklahoma State to absolutely knock KU out. OK State can do about anything on offense and KU can't stop anybody, see the Georgia Tech game. KU gets it handed to them here, I initially thought it was going to be about a 25, 26 point blowout, but I have changed my mind and I think OK State rolls!
Boise State @ Fresno State -- Boise by 21 as road favorites. Vince is on Boise here, a Friday night spotlight game where they need to roll! Everybody is talking about OU, LSU, Alabama, and I feel this is where Boise is at their best, under the radar. Boise needs to come out tonight and get themselves back in the talk about who is the best team in the country. Boise can score and play decent defense, so I really look for them to roll tonight. Fresno is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games, and 2-4 in its last 6 games ATS. Boise comes into Fresno and gets up early and doesn't look back! Dave on the other hand thinks that Fresno gives Boise a run for their money. Fresno's offense is capable of putting up 30th a night and they are 51st in the country in scoring. Boise State's best years are behind them. We are split here so flip a coin and hope! Dave says 41-30 Vince says 45-20.
Bonus Game -- Colorado @ Stanford Stanford -29. Has anybody watched Colorado play a game this year? If so I am sorry because it is tough to watch. They are not a good football team at all, why do you think the Big 12 was happy to let them go? The Pac 12 wants to give them back but can't, this team is not good and they are going up against a Stanford team that just rolls everybody. They have covered every game this year and I look for that trend to continue. It is almost like Stanford knows the spread, scoring a TD with about a minute left to play last week to cover. And it was a pass it wasn't like they were trying to run out the clock or anything. Stanford is 7th in scoring and 6th in points allowed. Colorado is 89th in both scoring offense and scoring defense, which doesn't bode well for them in this game. If there was ever a mismatch this is one of them, lay the points and take Stanford! Honestly I think Stanford could spot them about 40 and still win this game.
