It's my favorite day of the week during my favorite part of the year.
Today's Red River Rivalry marks what really is the midpoint of the season for a lot of college football teams. While it's a monster game, it seems like every week, we've had a match up of meaningful, epic proportions.
Think about this for a second, we have Texas-Oklahoma, Florida-LSU, Wisconsin-Penn State and Oklahoma State-Missouri all in the same day. I haven't even mentioned at least five or six other games that are going to go a long way in deciding who plays where this post season.
I know I probably surprised most of you by making Texas-Oklahoma one of my newsletter picks, though I didn't say it ahead of time.
If you read this post early enough, there's still time to get my more of my Free picks in the Free newsletter for week 7. If not, you can sign up anytime and you'll be added to next week's which will include the password you'll need to get into the password protected forum to play in our weekly free picking contest.
So you get a free newsletter, a free weekly picking contest with real prizes (good ones which I'll be announcing shortly), and a free copy of my ebook/report. Not a bad deal.
In any event, I don't think I'm good at the hard sell, and since I'm not selling anything, I'm probably worse at it. But let's get back to college football and talk some more about this week's games. I've done plenty of picking (25 games total), so I'm going to talk about the line moves. Who knows what we'll find?
The line in the East Carolina at Virginia game has gone from ECU -4 to ECU -6 1/2. While I didn't pick this game, a few of my readers posted in the forums and comments that they liked Virginia, several of them outright.
I've also received emails on this and it's popular on the message boards I frequent as well. I always like a good money line play, so thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts, though of course it won't count in my weekly picks either way.
The line hasn't moved much on the Utah-Wyoming game, and I picked Utah, but they are calling for some major weather in this game. I'll stay on the Utes but for those of you that follow the totals this one moved up to 46 1/2 and I've seen it dropping to 43 1/2, that's a pretty big move.
The line in the Syracuse at West Virginia game is at WVU -23 1/2, down from 25. Everyone knows I picked WVU (because I posted it) so less is more. If the Mountaineers are going to start looking like a good team today is a great day to start at home against a weak opponent.
Kentucky is now +3 vs. South Carolina after opening at pick and then moving to Kentucky -1. Obviously, there is a lot of money on the state of South Carolina as that line move to Clemson on Thursday night was gigantic, though it didn't help Tommy Bowden become a better coach all of the sudden.
