This year "Smooth Jimmy" and I (the Shark) will be providing our readers with free gambling advice. Each week on Friday at noon we will post our picks for the week. Admittedly I am a much better college football prognosticator than I am NFL. With that in mind, let's see how you guys can make some money. We will keep a running tally for the year.
The Shark:
Georgia -6.5 vs. Boise St: This line has been fluctuating between 6.5 and 8 all week. Either way, I feel safe with the Bulldogs. I guarantee that they have all been warned about not taking this game lightly. Boise State was a great story last year, and they are the underdog that you want to pull for, but I just can't see a way that they can stand toe to toe with a premier SEC team. Georgia returns all 5 starting lineman and let's face it, Boise State isn't known for their defensive prowess. Take Georgia give the 6.5 to 8 and feel good about it.
West Virginia +1.5 vs. Syracuse: I am breaking every major gambling rule with this pick. Betting with my heart, betting on my team, not staying objective. I still like the pick though. West Virginia dominates Syracuse, especially at the Carrier Dome. Syracuse is rebuilding, new A.D. and new coach means new offensive schemes and a tough opening round match. WVU has a solid defense, with some amazing running back including true Freshmen Jason Gwaltney. Take the 'Eers plus the 1.5.
N.C. State + 5.5 vs. Virginia Tech: N.C. State possess the best defensive line in the country. That should be enough to keep Marcus " the other" Vick in check. The game is in Raleigh, so take the Wolfpack and the 5.5 points.
It looks like Smooth Jimmy is taking the week off, so we will officially start our tally next week. we can call this pre-season. Good luck and let the games begin!
