NCAAF Week 14 Picks
The Regular Season Concludes...
While every team that is currently in the playoff picture plays this weekend, there are only a few games that can conceivably throw a wrench into the predictions machine before Conference Championship Week.
Michigan at Ohio St, Texas at Texas A&M, and South Carolina at Clemson are the obvious ones and it feels a little gratuitous including Michigan in here. If Texas loses, does that open the door enough for the Aggies to squeeze into the playoffs? Or if Clemson loses, which team moves into their spot, currently just outside the top 12?
There are other contests that aren’t expected to go sideways, but could make for real drama if they did. Some contenders in that category could be Cal at SMU, Arizona St at Arizona, Georgia Tech at Georgia, and Tennessee at Vanderbilt.
Oh, and one last thing. Check out our podcast Single Leg Parlay, available on your podcast platform of choice. We discussed our Thanksgiving plans and our drinking over/unders including first half lines (by halftime of the Lions game) and full day lines. We also gave some day drinking tips and cocktail recommendations so have a listen. It’s a treat. And Happy Thanksgiving!
Picks Recap
Last week we went 18-21. Andy split his plays down the middle going 15-15. I’ll take the blame there, as I cooled his totals which had been hitting over 60% for over a month. They went 3-6 this week. I won’t tail again, so you, dear reader, can be the one who profits.
I went 3-4, and Danny’s plays both lost. At least no one’s destitute this holiday season. Here’s hoping we can get back in the win column this week.
