Jake’s Gambling Pit: Week 8

YTD: 28-19-1

Week 8

We have a HUGE card this week. Follow me as we enter another wild week of College Football. 

Friday

Oregon at Purdue +27.5   O/U 60.6

Let’s get one thing straight, Purde is a bad football team. However, they may have found a quarterback in Ryan Browne last week. The Ducks are better in every facet but are primed for a hangover game, on a short week, with a “Black Out” crowd under the lights of Ross-Ade. I’m not calling for a full “Spoilermaker” win, but they cover.

Purdue +27.5

Saturday

Miami at Louisville +5   O/U 61.5

Miami has had two close calls already. Louisville has been solid and will be getting the Hurricanes at home. These are the games that Jeff Brohm reminds the country he has a few tricks up his sleeves. I anticipate Miami having rust coming off the bye, and the Cardinals keep it under a touchdown. If you are feeling extra frisky sprinkle the Moneyline.

Louisville +5 

Nebraska at Indiana -6.5   O/U 50.5

No one can take away the job Curt Cignetti has done at Indiana. The offense is exciting and the defense is doing its job. Nebraska has surprisingly been under the radar for being 5-1. The “Blackshirts” will give the Hoosier offense its largest task by far, and might test the defense as well. It is the biggest game in Bloomington in 40 years, and all the attention leads to a letdown. Not sure if the Huskers win, but covering is the safe bet.

Nebraska +6.5

Notre Dame at Georgia Tech +11 O/U 49.5

Besides last weeks blowout against Stanford, Notre Dame always seems to play in close games. Why should this one be any different? Especially on the road. 11 points seems like a safe number. Look for the 3 headed monster of the “Haynes Backfield” and Rutherford, to keep this within double digits.

Georgia Tech +11

LSU at Arkansas +3   O/U 55.5

The Razorbacks are lined up for their second home upset of the year. LSU has a hangover game while traveling to Arkansas. Sam Pittman’s offense is one of the best in the SEC when it doesn’t turn it over. With LSU’s shaky defense, this has the makings of a high-scoring affair, and the “Heart Attack Hogs” putting another feather in their cap. But take the points to be safe.

Arkansas +3   Over 55.5

Colorado at Arizona -3  O/U 58.5

I see this one being similar to last week for the Buffaloes. The Cats have struggled as of late, but they return home with a less physical team up front. Colorado has the athletes to make big plays, but Arizona is more well-rounded. The Wildcats win and cover at home. 

Arizona -3
