Alabama / Mississippi State Over (59.5) - Alabama comes in with the #2 ranked offense in College Football averaging 47.8 points per game. They scored 41 last week against #1 LSU. Bama is typically known for having a good defense but like we mentioned in last week’s over, that defense isn’t the same this year. The average looks good at 18.7 points per game but if you take a closer look, this defense has given up points to SEC teams - 46 to LSU, 28 to Texas A&M, 31 to Ole Miss, & 23 to South Carolina. Mississippi State usually has a solid defense but not this year, they have allowed 30.2 points per game. They allowed 56 to Auburn, 49 to Texas A&M, & 36 to LSU. I think Bama will score in the 40s so that leaves us less than 20 points that Bama has to give up. The track record points to the over in this one! ROLL DAMN TIDE!

Parlay:
Florida ML / Wisconsin ML / Oklahoma ML (+103) - The Gators bounces back with a BIG win last week 56-0 over Vandy and they will take on a Missouri team that has lost three straight including a 21-14 to the same Vandy team that Florida demolished last week. Next up is Wisconsin who also had a bounce back game last week by beating #18 Iowa after losing to Ohio State the week before. Nebraska is 4-5 on the season and they have only played one ranked opponent. The Badgers should take this one. To close it out we have Oklahoma going on the road to take on undefeated Baylor. We had Baylor in last week’s three overtime thriller but as soon as that game was over I knew we would be taking Oklahoma against them this week. Baylor has not played a ranked opponent this season and they have been put to the test in recent weeks. Oklahoma has more fire power and they should win this game tonight.
3:30 EST
Georgia (-3) - Georgia moves up to #4 in the rankings so they are playing with a purpose today. They will go on the road to take on #12 Auburn. One common opponent to look at in this one is Florida. Florida handled Auburn 24-13 while Georgia beat Florida 24-17. Georgia enters today’s matchup leading the SEC in points per game at 33.7 and yards per play at 6.7. They have already shown that they can beat a good SEC defense. The Georgia offensive line is one of the best in College Football and have only allowed 5 sacks all season. The Georgia defense has held opponents to 10.1 points per game this season and the Auburn offense has already struggled with two Top 10 defenses this season and I think they will struggle again today. Auburn QB Bo Nix only three for 157 yards against LSU and 145 yards against Florida. Georgia’s pass defense ranks higher than both of them so look for him to struggle again today. Despite this game being on the road, Georgia is the better team and they have more to play for. Go Dawgs 🐶
4:00 EST
Minnesota (+135) - Minnesota just beat #4 Penn State last week and don’t expect a let down game for them today. They are 9-0 and ranked #8 in the country! Last week was their only game against a ranked opponent this year but that win shows that they are the real deal. Iowa has played Top 20 opponents tough but they are 0-3 against those teams this season. The Hawkeyes lost to that same Penn State team that Minnesota beat last week. The Golden Gophers offense has been balanced averaging 237.7 passing yards and 195.2 rushing yards per game. That balanced offense has averaged 37.6 points per game. They won’t score that against Iowa’s tough defense today but I think they will get the job done for us. Let’s go Golden Gophers!!

NBA:
7:00 EST
Bucks (-5.5) - The Pacers played their first team with a winning record last night and even though they competed, they ended up losing 111-102. They will have a tall task to keep up with the high scoring Bucks tonight. The Bucks have won 4 of their last 5 and they are 5-2 on the road this season. The Bucks are averaging 120.3 points per game to the Pacers 108.8. Let’s Go Bucks!
🚨UPDATE 1:14 EST - Russell Westbrook is not playing tonight. Stay away if you didn’t already bet it.🚨
8:00 EST
Rockets (-1.5) - The Rockets got it done for us last night and we are hopping on again tonight despite the back to back for them. They will be on the road taking on the TWolves who are just 1-3 against teams with winning records and lost those 3 games by an average of 17.6 points. The Rockets are taking off for the moon and there is no sign of them slowing down, they have won 6 in a row and are 9-3 on the season. James Harden has 30+ in 9 of 12 games this season and 2 of the games he didn’t drop 30 he dropped 29. Give me the Rockets!
