NCAA Football Winning Picks: Week 3

Time for this week's NCAA football picks. For the season we are 7-3 and up 309.05 units – doubling up in only two weeks. If you’ve been listening to FTT, like you should, you’re playing with house money now. Tips are accepted.

Big game this week – Notre Dame and Michigan. Who gets to start 0-3? FTT will be staying away from this game as there is already a show called “The Biggest Loser.” Oh, and check out the newly launched NDSPN site to read up on everything Irish. As always, first four picks are laying 50 units and the lock of the week is laying 100 units.

Vanderbilt -5 at home over Ole Miss. Major props to the Vandy Athletic Department for scheduling 8 home games versus only 4 road games this season. I guess the kid majoring in Humanities that runs the intramural program knows what he’s doing. Ole Miss played Mizzou tough so Vandy is going to have to put up some points here.

Virginia Tech -17.5 at home over Ohio. Va Tech is coming off a major beat down by LSU in Death Valley. They need to demolish Ohio, and they’ll do so.

Louisville -5.5 at Kentucky. This is going to be a shootout. Don’t believe me? The Over/Under is 77! But in the end, I don’t think the Cats have the D to stay in this one for 4 quarters.

Iowa at Iowa State Over 39.5. I’m not big on either of these two schools this year. But this match up usually puts some points on the board. Can these teams muster 5 TDs and 2 FGs between them? Yes.

LOCK OF THE WEEK

USC -9.5 at Nebraska. This spread is actually going down! I love all the Nebraska suckers out there. NU barely beat Wake Forest (and that’s not the same Wake team as last year) who was using a backup QB. This one won’t be close at all. USC by 3 TDs.

UPDATE: FTT goes 3-2 and nails the Lock of the Week again. Up 81.80 units for the week and 390.85 units for the season.

NCAA Football Winning Picks: Week 2

Time for this weeks NCAA football picks. For the season we are 3-2 and up 81.80 "tokens." Apart from knowing that Michigan and Notre Dame both suck (wow, looking forward to that match up next week. I think it comes on at snooze thirty) the experts here at FTT have learned much from last week’s results. As always, first four picks are laying 50 tokens and the lock of the week is laying 100 tokens.

Rutgers -16 at home over Navy. Rutgers got zero respect in all of the preseason polls and they’re pissed. Time to beat up on another cupcake.

Penn St. -17.5 at home over Notre Dame. Now I have to be honest here, this one scares me. But from what I saw from ND last week, I don’t have any hope for their winning anytime soon. And Claussen will start his first game in front of over 100,000 loud PSU fans. Good luck Jimmy. Make sure you show the Penn State D Line all of those rings you won in high school. I would take the Over here – only 43.5, but I’m not sure if Notre Dame can score.

Georgia -3.5 at home over South Carolina. Look for the Dawgs to hang another loss on the Ol’ Ball Coach. Georgia beat USC 18-0 at USC last year – and they’re even better this year. I like UGA by 10-14 in this one.

Tennessee -10.5 at home over Southern Miss. After the Beatdown in Berkeley last week (the Vols gave up 45 points) look for a quick start from the Vols. Coach Fulmer will want to prime the tanks with Florida and Georgia both coming up in the next three weeks. Tennessee wins this easily.

LOCK OF THE WEEK

Mizzou -6 at Ole Miss. I’m going to keep riding the Mizzou gravy train until the odds makers come to their senses. Mizzou can put up a lot of points – it comes down to their defense. If they can stop the run on Saturday, they’ll win by 2 touchdowns.

RESULTS UPDATE:

4-1 for the weekend, 7-3 for the year. Brings in 227.25 tokens and up 309.05 for the year. Doubles up in two weeks.
