After looking over more than 40 spreads, I settled on 8 that I would actually take the plunge and put my hard-earned money on.
I got the ball rolling with Syracuse at home -5 on Friday night vs UConn. I was a little worried, considering I read an article about how only 3% of lines end up sitting at 5. That random stat didn't throw off the fact Ryan Nassib was playing QB for Syracuse. Getting that win started off the weekend on a high note.
Then came, $aturday. I had action on 7 games throughout the day. Naturally, I was up late on Friday night looking at the lines and locked in on a few that shifted in my favor by kickoff.
The first game of the day was a good example. I was able to lock Wisconsin -16 and by kickoff some books were offering -18. Minnesota was rolling out a kid who had never taken a snap in a college game. That was almost a no-brainer for me. Wisconsin jumped around and we covered.
We moved on with Rutgers. The Knights were playing Temple. Rutgers only needed to cover 4 points. They are ranked and it's Temple. Enough said. Rutgers covered by 21.5. We move to 3-0.
Next up to start off the afternoon slate was BYU +13 @ ND. I haven't seen much offense from ND and 13 is about all they can score. Plus, BYU is not a joke. Notre Dame barely held on to win the game straight up, 17-14. BYU covered easily. We are now rolling 4 straight!
Florida -3.5 at home against The Old Ball Coach and South Carolina was our next selection. Lattimore is banged up. Florida is at home. Florida has more talent. Florida won by 33. Check, please. That's 5 in a row.
Next came one of my favorite teams this year, University of Louisiana-Monroe. They came into the game 5-1 ATS this season. I have been loving them. However, they were playing Western Kentucky, the Kings of Covers. Western Kentucky had covered 14 straight games. Amazing. I still rolled with Kolton Browning and ULM +3.5. I had a chance to buy a point and did so to keep the push alive at 4.
ULM won SU by 1 point. Another classic cover by ULM this year.
We move to 6-0 for the weekend.
The night games started and Miami took the stage +21 at home against Florida State. I've been watching this rivalry for as long as I can remember. 21 just seemed disrespectful to this game. After some research I decided to roll with the Canes. Miami held on to cover by 1 point, losing by 20. We slide to 7-0 heading into our final pick.
Oregon State -10 was last up to close the door on our perfect college football weekend. Oregon State is benefiting from the spillover effect of the Oregon Ducks being so deep. I thought they would try to make a statement at home. They have their QB in the lineup again. They just crushed BYU. I thought 10 was a good bet. The Beavers had to hold off a couple garbage time drives by Utah trying to come in the back door and ruin my perfect day. Oregon State shut it down and we covered for a perfect weekend.
8-0. 7-0 on Saturday. Perfect College Football Weekend.
