Gambling picks for this weekend

[RPOdawg]

Who do y’all like this weekend? Georgia -9 is free money isn’t it? Also, the chiefs -8 1/2 against the browns looks nice. Thoughts?

NFL is never free money. UGA should handle UK. UK having zero threat of a passing game and facing elite talent across the board will due them in.

Having said that, UGA could get caught in a defensive slug fest, but if it's not a slug fest early, I could see UGA pulling away early and easily.

Is it as free as MSU over 8.5 wins? There was no way this team could mess that up.

KC looks like an easy pick but the premium is built in now so its a gamble.

At some point we’re going to have to bite the bullet and start calling Kentucky good. Their D is nasty, honestly it’s probably better than UGA’s.

Theyre an OT loss at A&M away from being in the playoff discussion tonight.

They remind me of our 2010 team.

Over 8.5 Will cost me 660 if we don’t win out.

I’m a bit nervous *

There is no “probably” about it. UK’s defense is better beyond question than UGA’s. They are 2nd in the country in scoring defense behind only Clemson. UGA is 12th. What’s even more impressive is that they are doing all that despite being 99th in total offense (by comparison UGA is 27th), meaning their D is on the field a hell of a lot every game, and facing way more possessions than most other defenses. Given all that, it’s not a stretch at all to say they might be the best D in the country...pound for pound.

FYI, we are currently 4th at 13.5 ppg, and 5th in Total Defense.

Gambling Picks

Take La Tech and the points (22.5). Moorhead takes a deep breath after a big win. Fans will take this game off, and I expect the players to do something similar. La Tech isn't a pushover either.

UGA (-9.5) this feels like the classic "Put Kentucky back in their place" type of game. UK defense is good, but UGA is well coached and will be motivated. The talent gap is too wide as well.

I think Bama covers the 14.5. I think the only thing keeping the line this close is LSU being at home and the name on their jersey. Tiger Stadium will be rocking, but Bama will come out and shell shock LSU in the first quarter. Also Saban >>> O

I think Kentucky is good, but I think when they play elite teams across the board like Bama and UGA they will look like we did against them.

i agree with you on Kentucky getting put back in their place. They aren’t that good imho. They’re fools gold. Similar to our 2012 team. I took Georgia -9. I think the dawgs win by 21 plus.

I would not touch the UGA game. Biggest game for UK in history...good defense that can be opportunistic at times.


Chiefs game...it's on the road in the NFL which is always difficult. The Browns just fired their HC and OC...look for the Browns players to have an extra pep in their step. Always happens in those situations.

In my opinion, I wouldn't touch those two games.



Take GA Tech -5 vs UNC. Can UNC stop GA Tech triple-option and their new QB who runs it well? Can UNC keep up the scoring?
Put the money on the Yellow Jackets.

UK having zero threat of a passing game

Wilson is top 5 in the SEC in completion @ 65%. UK just doesn't call many passing plays. Wilson passing attempts 153, Fitz 178, TN guy 174 are the lowest attempts in the SEC throwing out Tua @ 152 because he's a part time footballer.

What about his yards per attempt which is an abysmal 6.46yds. He does't even have 1,000yds passing yet. 5 TD and 6 INT. Yeah man he's really good***

Also, Fitz has 732 rush yards, 5.3ypc and 9TDs. Passing his 1009yds 6TD and 7int 5.97 yds/a. Fitz has played: UK, UF, Aub, LSU and TAMU (zero slouches)

Wilson has 406 rush yards, 54.6ypc, 3TDs. Passing 988yds, 65.4%, 5 TD and 6int. By the way that's against SEC Ds: UF, MSST, TAMU, Vandy and Mizz.

Give me Fitz over Wilson. By the way...... Fitz beat TAMU. Fitz also out played Wilson straight up.

O/U on Bama/LSU is 53.5. I'd lean taking the under. I think Saban keeps it conservative and grinds out something like a 23-7 win. Thoughts?

Bama's defense isn't nearly as good as it usually is.....I'd be surprised if they hold LSU to 7. And based on what I've seen, I don't think anyone has a defense that is going to hold Bama's offense to 23.....but LSU will be the best defense they've faced by a long shot, so I'm interested to see whether or not that is the case.

 

[ShrubDog]

The problem with UK is they don’t have any offense. Mizz shut them down until a miracle happened. It will be a major accomplishment if UK can score 17.
