A tradition unlike any other, we have early week Group of 5 action returning in Mid Tuesday. We absolutely need it this week. After a dreadful 11-14-2 in Volume 6, including a 1-8-1 derail after the sun went down, I couldn't wait for another week; especially a weekend that means so much in my family. The Volume 6 (Week 6) results keep us in the green in the years, as we're still up $70 on the year. 59-52-3 is still a decent track.
Tuesday Football has already occurred at the time of this Volume's post. Hope y'all were able to enjoy Happy Appalachy take on Arkansas St at 8pm on the Deuce. I'm sure the winner of this ballgame take's one step closer to becoming a candidate considered on the Inside Carolina's Premium Football boards.
THURSDAY NIGHT
We'll spend our Thursday evening focused on the Lone Star State with matchups between GA Southern (-17.5) at Texas State (730 on the U) and bounce back games for Texas Tech (+7) at TCU (730 on the Mothership). I'm liking both squads on the road this Thursday night. Texas Tech has that offense hummin and looks to inch closer towards a bowl bid while in Texas State has already mailed it in and is looking ahead to a new year and *whispers*.... coaching staff.
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
Friday evening delivers us a trio of ballgames worth your time and money:
Main Event: South Florida (-7) at Tulsa - 7pm on the Mothership I'm expecting South Florida to boat race the Golden Hurricane. Bowl eligibility on the line for Charlie Strong.
Next Up: Air Force at SDSU (-11) - 9pm on CBSSN - Air Force has had what many would consider an off year for their standard. It won't get any better for Air Force Friday night.
Late Night: Zona (+13.5) at Utah - 10pm on the Mothership After meh starts for both programs, Zona and Utha are on the upswing. Winner stays alive in the quest for the PAC12 south.
FOOTBALL SATURDAY
Another Football Saturday and this one's even better consider because I have rooting interest for the first time in 16 days. IT ALL STARTS AT NOON
High Nooners
Main Event: Duke at Georgia Tech (-3) - ACC Net at 1220 If you're reading this, you've probably realized that the college football world is set for a relatively dull High Nooner time slot this upcoming Saturday. This one is worth your attention simply for the fact it's a coastal elimination game.
Next Up: Florida (-7) at Vandy - High Noon on the Mothership Vandy is just one of those squads you want to believe in, but doesnt always deliver. Florida is trending upward and should continue that trend Saturday.
Last Up: Iowa (-5) at Indiana - The Deuce at High Noon All aboard the Ferentz hype train who should have his squad one game away from bowl eligibility in mid October.
It's Football: (+16.5) Tennessee at Auburn - SEC Net Noon; Row The Boat (+30) at Ohio State - B1G Noon
Mid-Afternooners
The Main Event (of the day) - UGA at LSU (+8) - 330 on CBS SEC on CBS with Kirby's debut in Death Valleu. The crowd in Baton Rouge will be plenty drunk and pissed becuase this one ain't a night game. Coach O covers.
A Great Option: Washington (-3) at Oregon - 330 on ABC/TheDeuce Combo - Many expect the Ducks to blank a beaten up Husky squad. This one however smells of your typically big game coach em up from ole Washington HBC, Chris Pederson.
Another Great Option: A&M (-2) at Sakerlina - 330 on SEC Net Muschamp vs Jimbo. Almost sounds like a Rasslin' Match on a regional wrestling circuit. Expect a similar outcome on the field as well.
PITT, THE TOP 5 KRYPTONITE (+21) at Notre Dame 230 on NBC - SB Nation already outlined Pitt's dominance over highly ranked teams. Yours truly has seen it twice in person.
Sneaky: UCF at Memphis (+4.5) - 330 on the ABC/Deuce Combo - Memphis finna snap the streak.
Other: Penn State vs Sparty (+13.5) at 330 on B1G; Baylor (+14) at Texas at 330 on the Mothership
Night Games
The Main EVent: Wisky at Michigan (-8.5) - 730 on ABC Wisky's been so hot and cold this year. Add a couple key injuries in the last couple of weeks and a Michigan team's that's played lights out of late... you have a recipe for a Michigan crock pottin'.
A Good Option: The U (-6.5) at UVA - 7pm on the Deuce The Cavalier Crowd is sky high right now in all points in the Commonwealth. This weekend nice slice of humble pie for the ole wahoo faithful.
My Option: Carolina hosts Virginia Tech My family's biggest game of the year. My prediction comes later. Virginia Tech is currently a 6 point favorite in Chapel Hill.
More Football: West Virginia (-6.5) at Iowa State - 7pm on FS1 (Free Money); Mizzou (+28.5) at Bama - 7pm on the Mothership
Late Night
Main Event: Colorado (+7) at Southern Cal - 1030 on FS1 For the first time in what feel like forever we have a great ballgame to look forward to in the Late Night slot. Colorado is heavy dogs against a Southern Cal squad that hasn't shown much. Gotta roll with the Buffalo here.
It's Football: (+11.5) Hawaii at BYU at 10-15 on the Deuce; Wymoing at Fresno (-18) on the U at 1030; Surfs at Nevada (+17) 1030 on CBSSN
Enjoy the weekend, y'all. I know I will.
