Picks Trying Not to Suck: Week 10
BH is riding a hot streak after a 4-1 week, but you know how that goes.
Let’s see what the Brothers Kenney have for us this week.
BLATANT HOMERISM--Week 10
(Last week: 4-1; Overall: 24-19-2)
Oklahoma State at Baylor (+7.5)
I wrote about this game for Athlon. I’m putting the Pokes on upset alert.
The pick: Bears straight up.
Georgia Southern at Louisiana-Monroe (+7)
Eagles and Warhawks – perfect for a little afternoon bird-watching in Northern Louisiana. Ga. Southern is facing a letdown spot against the Warhawks, who had an open date to prepare for the option.
The pick: Take the points.
Iowa State (-14.5) at Kansas
The Jayhawks will take wins any way they can get them, but you don’t get much flukier than their victory over TCU last week. A butt fumble kept the Horned Frogs out of the end zone deep in the fourth quarter, contributing to KU’s plus-two advantage in turnover margin. TCU also outgained KU by nearly 200 yards.
You could say the opposite for the Cyclones last week. Texas Tech scored 14 points on a blocked punt return and an ISU fumble in its own end zone.
The pick: ‘Clones roll.
Missouri at Florida (-6)
Not much too this pick: I think this line is light a field goal.
The pick: Gators comfortably.
Navy at Cincinnati (-13.5)
The Bearcats saw a similar option game against Tulane a few weeks ago. They beat the Green Wave down.
Speaking of which, the Midshipmen are all sorts of beaten up at the moment.
The pick: This could get ugly. UC by about 21.
THE SKINNY--Week 10
(Last week: 2-3; Overall: 20-25)
Oklahoma State at Baylor (+7.5)
Georgia at Kentucky (+9)
Air Force at Army (-6.5)
Duke (+9.5) at Miami
Texas A&M (+3.5) at Auburn
