My new profession?

This week college football calls (games I would put money on)

Florida Gators 45 Arkansas Razorbacks 17 (Gators -25.5)

Nevada Wolfpack 52 Idaho Vandals 16 (Wolfpack -24)

TCU Horned Frogs 48 San Diego St Aztecs 12 (Horned Frogs -24.5)

Arizona Wildcats 47 Washington Huskies 17 (Wildcats -22.5)


And then there are calls (teams in Green) I would like to make but will not necessarily put money on... 'cos I have no guts...

Oklahoma @ Baylor (Okla - 24.5)

Stanford @ ND (ND -6.5) Stanford sucks real bad, but I hate ND. And ND is at home...

Illinois @ Michigan (Michigan -2.5) One of the more interesting games of the week. I don't think Michigan is going to win. They are really not that good. But they are at home and that makes a big difference. But, I still think Illini by 4.

Auburn @ Vanderbilt (Auburn -3.5) Going out on a limb. Vanderbilt has a slightly more effective offense than Auburn. They both play very effective defense. Vandy at home. I pick Vandy to win (not just cover the spread). Vandy by 3. Extremely low scoring game. Under on the O/U 37.

Most interesting game of the week:
Ohio St @ Wisconsin (OSU -1, fallen from -2.5) I'm still not buying. I think Badgers win this one 27-24.

And lastly, this game should be a slam dunk...
Washington St @ UCLA (UCLA -17) EXCEPT that it is UCLA. Everyone has covered their spread against WSU this year. WSU is the doormat for the Pac-10 and possibly everyone else that plays them. But we are talking UCLA, the team that laid a goose egg @BYU and then ALMOST beat Fresno St last week. I would like to pick UCLA but... not with confidence.
