Week 9: The picks are in! The picks are in!

Get to the closest casino or BoDog account while you're watching tonight's Game 7 because there are a bunch of good games to bet on this weekend. There's a battle for SEC East title contention, a pair of throwdowns in the B1G and a top 10 battle in Big 12 land. Let's get to it.

Marcus says...

Nebraska -4 vs. Michigan State
The line hasn’t moved on this game, but the anticipation is growing. The key to a Sparty win is going to be containing Martinez and Burkhead. MSU’s defense bottled up the Michigan ground game, but struggled against Wisconsin. Tough call and should be a good game but I believe in Sparty. Take MSU and the points.

Ohio State +7 vs. Wisconsin
Boom Herron has returned for the Buckeyes and has made a big impact so far. Wisconsin is coming off a tough loss in East Lansing. Expect Russell Wilson and the Badgers to show up ready to play. Wiscy covers.

Western Michigan -11.5 vs. Ball State
Money is coming in on the Broncos as the line has moved. Earlier in the week I was down on WMU, but am hearing good things out of Kalamazoo. WMU wins by 2 TDs and covers the spread.

Georgia Tech +3 vs. Clemson
Clemson’s dream season rides in the balance while the Yellow Jackets are picking themselves up off the mat. Money is coming in Georgia Tech as the line has moved from 4 to 3. I see a high scoring game with Tech coming out on top. Take GT and the points.


Kyle says...

Oklahoma -14 @ Kansas St.
The Sooners are licking some wounds as they head into a matchup with No. 8, undefeated K-State. Look for the Sooners to lower the Boom on coach Snyder’s option attack and make a statement after last week’s humiliation against the Raider Rash. Take OU and the points.

Georgia -3 @ Florida

It's the world's largest cocktail party, and even with both teams down, it should be one hell of a show in the Swamp this weekend. I'm looking for Ugga to come out on top with the points, because Coach Mark Richt is playing for his job and Will Musschamp is playing with a very shaky QB situation.

South Carolina -4 @ Tennessee

SC limps into Rocky Top with first-year starter Connor Shaw and without Marcus Lattimore. That said, Tennessee's offense is rickety and the Gamecocks have a solid offensive line. I'm going with the chalk again, SC covers.

Navy @ Notre Dame -21.5

Navy has been a pesky, if not downright better opponent than the Irish over the past few years. The Middies don't really stand a chance this year, but Notre dame has been adept at beating itself and if there's one thing the service academies are damned good at, it's taking advantage of your mistakes. I like Navy to beat the spread, but they don't win the game.
