The Clemson defense looked beatable last week against Washington, but without QB Anthony Brown it is unlikely that BC will be able to duplicate Huskies success. The public is jumping in on the visiting Golden Eagles with the big -34 spread line, but is that the right side of the line to be on?
The Jags got their third win on the campaign last week beating the winless Bengals and now face the one-win Jets who are playing on a short week. So, the Jags favored by less than a touchdown is the easy call here? Not according to Loot. Get Levinson’s take on the game and why he thinks the dog is the play in this match.
The Cal Golden Bears are in trouble this weekend vs. Pac 12 foe Utah. Scoring a total of 41 points over your last three games isn’t a position you want to be in heading into Utah, which is a VERY tough home field advantage for the Utes. As expected, we get a big point spread of -19.5 here in a game where Utah should dominate from box to wire.
A mid season Super BOWEL! Both these teams have looked like steamy garbage as of late. Philip Rivers age is starting to catch up to him and Trubisky is looking like he can’t read NFL defenses. While Loot is predicting a cover here, it might not be a bad idea to skip betting the point spread and take a look at betting the under in a game where both teams may struggle at moving the ball.
The Cardinals have won three in a row, albeit vs. weak teams (Cin, Atl, NYG). Despite this success, the books aren’t buying that they’re good as evidenced by them being +9 dogs. Drew Brees is expected back from injury. If this happens, he’ll surely have timing issues as even an old pro can’t step in and maintain his level of play. Alvin Kamara sat out last week and will be dinged up at best as well. Arizona looks to be a live underdog wager here.
The winless Cincinnati Bengals head east to London to take on the Los Angeles Rams who smoked the Falcons last week. This game opened with the Rams being favored by -10.5 and as been bet up to -13.5 at most sportsbooks at time of print. If you made the Bungles a +13 underdog in each of their games this season they’d be 5-2 ATS. If you made the LAR a -13.5 favorite in each of their games this season they’d only have covered two of seven games. With the game being played in a neutral location. Cincinnati looks to be a live underdog!
Betting -16 favorites will send you to the poorhouse. With this game being the featured as Week 8’s TNF game, all people will be thinking about is how good Minnesota has been and how the Skins got shut out in Week 7. Washington isn’t going to just roll over. A ton has to go right for the Vikes to cover 3 scores. Nice value here with betting on Washington!
The sportsbooks are giving us a free pick of their own as the NYG are only favored by -3. The Cardinals defense is putrid and despite the Giants being banged up, they present us with one of the best bets of Week 7 NFL. Saquon Barkley is practicing in full and has a dream matchup!
The Bookmakers continue to undervalue a Boise State Broncos team that remains undefeated. BYU is usually a tough place to go into and steal a win, but this ain’t your Daddy’s Cougar team! Loot gives his prediction and analysis on this somewhat confusing matchup.
If this isn’t the fishy point spread of the week, I don’t know what is! This is a major trap game for the Quack Attack of Oregon, however, I can’t get past the Huskies losing by 10 at home to Cal and losing by 10 at Stanford. Washington is a plus team, but very inconsistent. The Ducks have beaten up some creampuffs and spent the majority of their season at Autzen Stadium, one of the best home field advantages in college football. The best bet on this game is to pass, but Loot gives prediction with analysis anyway!
