Gambling On The Games: NCAA Football Week Five

The real gambling with the future lies with the die cast in Washington, D.C. backrooms and Wall Street offices but while our future is pattered and played with by the Masters of the Universe we shall endeavour to persevere as best we can.

And that means rollin dem bones to feed dat jones. In times like these everythings a gamble...

Last Week + 7 Going in from the campaign.

Penn States Uncle Junior Joe Paterno whacked old buddy Al's temple Owls. PSU + 1 unit

Rutgers lacks heart. Navy has lots.  Rutgers - 1 unit

Ohio State looks lackluster and let the men of Troy hang.  Ohio State - 1 unit

West Virginia and Colorado was an easy mile high under. Under + 1 unit

Navy and Rutgers lingered under ...Under + 1 Unit

LSU and Auburn had a large over surge. Over + 1 Unit

Thats plus 2 for the week. Plus 9 for the year. Not too shabby.

Lets start the Fall right.

Pittsburgh Panthers - 15 at Syracuse Orange

Syracuse is 0-3 vs the spread. Coach Robinson is a lame duck. The team is terrible. Hate taking Dave Wannstedt but must bet the Orange fade.

Pitt 52 Syracuse 12 for 1 unit

Northwestern Wildcats plus 8 at Iowa Hawkeyes

Is Iowa 8 points better then anyone? Northwestern hangs for the cover

Iowa 27 Northwestern 22  for 1 Unit

Virginia Cavilers + 7 at Duke Blue Devils

Is Duke 7 points better then anyone? Again a stab with the points.

Duke 28 Virginia 26 for 1 Unit

Purdue Boilermakers + 1 1/2 at Notre Dame Fighting irish

Notre Dame should be 0-3. They are just not a good team but the public still drives their lines up.

Purdue 33 Notre Dame 21 for 1 Unit

Virginia Tech Hokies + 7 at Nebraska Cornhuskers

Like the live Turkey Birds to play the Huskers close and steal one from the not quite back yet Blackshirts.

VA Tech 26 Nebraska 24 for 1 Unit

Alabama Crimson Tide + 7 at Georgia Bulldogs

The Tide looks alive. They handled high rated Clemson easily and whipped Arkansas. I'll take a stab with the Tide to cover and maybe win outright.

Alabama 24 Georgia 23 for 1 Unit

Colorado Buffalo's + 5 at Florida State Seminoles

Tired Bobby Bowden looks like he's ready for the Golf links. The Seminole talent base. has severely dwindled. The Buffs look lively beating the Mountaineers

Colorado 21 Florida State 17 

And as you watch the football games, and watch the National financial banking games, unfold remember at least a football wager is an honest bet. Then think of them old boys and girls in DC dealing us Three Card Monte.

Follow the Queen...Follow the lady...don't let your eyes leave the lady...follow the Queen..."

Then ponder the word of the week....
