NCAA Winning Picks Week 7


I hope you jumped all over the winning picks last week as The Truth showcased his truthiness going 5-1. We're still yo-yoing through the season at 18-14. The road picks seem to be a sweet spot and shot probably stick to that format, but too many great games to pass up this week under that format. The Truth is bringing 8 games your way this week and one lock of the week special. Should be a great weekend for games.

Texas +7 vs. Oklahoma (in Dallas): Both teams are 5-0 heading into the Red River Rivalry. And both teams are perfect ATS this year. I like OU to win, but not by 7.

Kentucky +3 vs. South Carolina: I actually like UK as a 1 TD favorite here. I think it's actually a good thing that they didn't almost beat Bama at Bama last week. It will leave them hungry and shouldn't have a let down against the Gamecocks.

Mizzou -14 vs. Oklahoma State: What is it with the Big 12 and 5-0 teams? Two more undefeated teams that score points in bunches. Why is the spread so large? OSU is a pretender and Mizzou should expose them as such come Saturday. The line is where it should be so you'll probably see money split pretty evenly between these teams.

Georgia -12.5 vs. Tennessee: I like UGA by 2 TDs here with the Vols a dismal 1-4 ATS this year. Not only are the Vols not good this year, they just can't score. They squeaked out a win at home against Northern Illionois last week 13-9. At least with them not scoring, it cuts down on the times their band plays the God awful "Rocky Top."

Arizona State +28 vs. USC: Sanchez is banged up for the Trojans. But it shouldn't keep them from beating down on the Sun Devils. I just don't think it is 28 points worth of beat down.

Penn State -6 @ Wisconsin: Another undefeated team in Penn State who is 6-0. Not sure about this line. I like PSU by alot more. Wisconsin is 0-2 in the Big Ten. Where is the Joe Pa love? Penn State averages over 500 yards a game and gives up 250 yards.

LSU +6 @ Florida: Okay - if you want to avoid one of The Truth's picks, this is probably it. LSU is 1-2 ATS this year and 4-12 ATS against conference opponents the past 3 years. Florida is 2-0 ATS the past three years. This one is just a hunch.

LOCK OF THE WEEK
Vanderbilt -2 @ Mississippi State: Where is the love people? My Commodores are undefeated and leading the SEC East standings. This is the best sub-conference in America. They just beat Auburn for the first time since the Eisenhower administration so I get the "fluke" references. But they're playing MSU. Come on! I don't care that the Bulldogs put up a good fight against LSU last week. I'm saying Vandy by 50! Lay two units here. And no, there is no room on the Vandy Fanwagon, you haters.
