Jake’s Gambling Pit: Week 11
YTD: 35-30-1
Week 11
Back in the green, and looking to add to the stack!
Miami at Georgia Tech +11 O/U 63.5
It’s no secret that Miami has shown weakness on the defensive side of the ball. Georgia Tech’s offense isn’t high-profile but should still have success. Brent Key’s defense should contain Cam Ward and the Canes. With a power struggle in the first half, the Yellow Jackets should keep this close.
Georgia Tech +11
Michigan at Indiana -14 O/U 48.5
If you don’t want to tail me here I understand. I know it looks like I’m always chasing the Indiana loss, but I feel this is their perfect letdown spot. First time being included in the College Football Playoff ranking, and they are taking on one of the best defenses in the country. The Wolverines have had their trouble on offense but they are a proud bunch. Michigan covers…… ML if you are feeling frisky.
Michigan +14
Iowa State at Kansas +3 O/U 50
Iowa State is coming off a loss and is looking for the traditional “bounce back” game. However, I can’t help but notice that this line is pretty low. The Jayhawks are 2-6 but have lost 5 of their games by one score. If Iowa State is not careful they could very well lose this one. The Jayhawks are due, and this looks like the perfect spot while they have a low spread and are at home.
Kansas +3
Georgia at Ole Miss +2.5 O/U 55
Ole Miss’s defensive front should keep them in this game, but this line is a “fugazi”. It is meant to trick “sharps” to take the underdog. If I have learned one thing the last 3 years its “you don’t make money betting against Georgia”. To add it doesn’t look like star receiver Tre Harris is going to play for the Rebels
Georgia -2.5
BYU at Utah +3.5 O/U 40.5
BYU is an undefeated program and the talk of College Football, as a projected bye in the playoff. They traveled to Salt Lake City during the Holy War. The Utes struggle on offense but these are the games that Kyle Whittingham gets his players up for. The Ute defense will get after Jake Retzlaff, and will make him feel uncomfortable, something he hasn’t felt much of this year. Thinking Utah will control this game on the defensive side of the ball, I’m also leaning under, but my official bet is Utah.
Utah +3.5
