We're back online, ready to drop our cheeks in seats and throw down some cash on 'ball games.Absolutely dreadful Week 8 for yours truly. The gap has narrowed after a 7-14 week.— W.F.Patterson (@FootbawFrat) October 22, 2018
81-77-3 on the year for #WFPPicks https://t.co/aRQ09iIF42
It all starts with a LOADED THURSDAY
THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
The Main Event - GiT at Virginia Tech (-3) - 730 on the Mothership
I'm leaning in heavy into the Hokies on this one. While Paul Johnson's bunch has knocked off the Hokies in consecutive season, I'm fully dipped in the Hokies edging this one out in Blacksburg. 12 Days rest allowed a banged up VT unit get right.
A LIT Option - App State (-8.5) at Georgia Southern - 730 on the U
Once referred to as the best rivalry in Double A Ball, both squads have taken massive steps forward since their moves to the FBS. App State HBC Scott Satterfield looks to add another W to his resume as his casting call for a P5 job continues traject upward. GIVE ME THE NATIVE SON FROM HILLSBOROUGH TO COME HOME TO ORANGE COUNTY (NC).
Another Option: Baylor (+14) at West "By God" Virginia - 7pm on FS1
Red Bull and Gambling Anonymous are on high alert after Holgo laid an egg in Ames. Does self proclaimed Heisman Candidate Billy Greer bounce back in Morganhole? Barely.
It's Football: Toledo at WMU (-6.5) - 7pm on the Deuce; Ball State at Ohio (-11) - 7pm on CBSSN
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
2 time slots this Friday night. Yea Buddy.
Night Games
The Main Event: Miami at Boston College (+4) - ESPN
Miami lays eggs on the road on weird football nights. I repeat, Miami lays eggs on the road on weird football nights.
A fine option: La Tech at FAU (-3.5) - 630pm on CBSSN
Lane in Boca on a Friday Night is always a strong bet.
Football: Hoosiers at Row the Boat, Gophers (+2.5) - 8pm on FS1
Gotta think the luck's gonna turn for PJ Flck here shortly.
Late Night
Main Event: Utah (-10.5) at UCLA - 1030 on the Mothership
This one aint in the cards for Chip the Ripper.
Football: Wyoming (+2) vs Colorado State - 10pm on CBSSN
FOOTBALL SATURDAY
This Saturday we're in fact, most blessed to have 3 ranked vs ranked match ups ahead of us. I'll be braving the elements in Charlottesville for the High Nooner time slot, but you best believe I'll be making my way to Boyland Heights or a similar establishment to catch the remainder of Saturday.
High Nooners
MY GAME: Carolina (+9) at UVA
Carolina's covered two weeks in a row. Time for number three.
The Main Event: Wisky (-7) at Northwestern - High Noon on Fox
These two have been some of the ugliest winners in 2018. Expect another gut it out man ball special between both squads with Wisky displaying too much talent in the second half.
A Great Option: Purdue at Sparty (-2) - High Noon on the Mothership
I really think the world is over valuing Purdue's win last week, much like Iowa's thumping of Urbs in 2017.
A fine option: Texas Tech (-3.5) at Iowa State - 12 on the Deuce
Another overvalued recency biased line. Texas Tech can throw up point in a hurry and Iowa State is woefully inconsistent.
Won't be close: Clemson (-16.5) at FSU - ABC at High Noon
Worth a Look: Arkansas (+1.5) at Vandy - High Noon on SEC Net
Mid-Afternooners
The Main Event: THE WORLDS LARGEST OUTDOOR COCKTAIL PARTY
It feels like the first time in forever that this game has national implications with both UGA and Florida (+7) in the SEC (and potentially) national title picture. This games always insanely weird, so your safe bet is the (under)dawg in the fight. 330, CBS with the Ghost of Broadcast Verne watching over us.
A Great Option: Penn State vs Iowa (+6.5) - 330 on the Mothership
Penn State appears to be trending downward, while Kirk Ferentz keeps doing Kirk Ferentz things. Do the Hawkeyes have enough to pull of the upset in Happy Valley?
Group of 5 Option - South Florida at Houston(-7.5) - 300 ABC/The Deuce Combo
Ed Oliver uber alles.
ACC Option: Duke (-2.5) at Pitt - 330 on ACC Net
Just because Pitt nearly pulled off the upset against Notre Dame doesn't mean they're a hot team.... it just means they've exhausted all super powers until their next ranked opponent.
SEC Option: Kentucky (+7) at Mizzou: 4pm on SEC Net
No clue why Vegas loves Mizzou in this one? I'll picking the Wildcats straight up. Benny Snell for Heisman.
Football: Zona State (+6.5) at So Cal - 330 ABC/Deuce; K State at Oklahoma (-24.5) - 330 on Fox
Night Games
The Main Event A - Wazzu (+3) at Stanford - PAC 12 7pm
This game could be known as Stanford's last stand after injuries to mainstays have limited their upward trajectory this season. Mike Leach looks to keep his *gasp* College Football Playoff chances alive as a road dawg.
The Main Event B - OK State (+3.5) vs Texas - 8pm on ABC
Stillwater at night with Mike Gundy as a home dawg. *UPSET ALERT*
SEC's ESPN Saturday Night Presentation: A&M (+2.5) at Miss State - 7pm on the Mothership
Calling it now: either this is a squeaker by A&M or this turns into a Miss State Buzzsaw. Starkville on a Saturday night is something else, y'all.
ACC Saturday Night Presentation: Cuse Beats NC State - The Deuce at 7pm
The Carrier Dome is a House of Horrors as NC State continues their *expected* free fall.
It's Football: Notre Dame vs Navy (+24.5) in San Diego on CBS at 8; The SMurfs (-9) at Air Force 7pm on CBSSN; UTenn (-7.5) at Sakerlina 730 on SEC Net - Why would anyone ever take Muschamp as a 7pt fave?!
Late Night
There's no main event for this one as most will likely become blowouts. Just enjoy #drunjfoosball.
Oregon (-10) at Zona - The Mothership at 1030
Drunk Football featuring a cratering Wildcat team vs a Oregon squad that plays defense? Gimme the Quack.
SDSU (-2.5) at Nevada - The U at 1030
Rocky Long's Man Ball gets me all hot and bothered.
Fresno (-24) vs Hawaii - The Deuce at 1030
It's impossible to pick the Warriors unless the GAWD is on the call.
