Here are this week's football picks. I am sorry they are late and I'm about to go to bed so I can get up early and go catch the drunks downstairs, so the writeup will be a little bit brief. All of the lines below are the Venetian lines (where we're staying) as of tonight.

College:

Missouri -1.5 at TEXAS A&M
I am all over the tigers here.

WISCONSIN -9.5 vs Minnesota
Wisconsin is playing great right now and rolling along.

Army +5.5 at CONNECTICUT
I just have a feeling that UConn is being given too much credit here.

Iowa State +19.5 at OKLAHOMA
I think ISU will score 17 points here, I don't see the Sooners scoring more than 35 to cover. In fact, I think Iowa State can win this game, so it's consistent with my #1 betting rule of college football wagering.

PENN STATE +7 vs Michigan
I think Penn State wins this game outright.

Pro:
Tennnessee +9.5 at WASHINGTON
Vince Young is getting better every week and the Titans are due for a win. I think they win this one outright, too.

ST LOUIS +3.5 vs Seattle
I am starting to be a believer in the Rams. Are you?

ATLANTA -3 vs NEW YORK GIANTS
I like Atlanta after the bye week. The Giants have not been good away from home.

DETROIT +1 vs Buffalo
I think Detroit gets win #1 this weekend, Roy Williams status notwithstanding. Why? Because Kevin Jones will be the difference here, just like the Bears running game last week.

DALLAS -13.5 vs Houston
Carr will get his yards and TD's in the 4th quarter when the Cowboys are up by 28.

(One aside: since I am in Vegas this weekend and can make more bets than the usual point spread on the whole game, I really like betting against the JETS (vs the Dolphins) in the first half. The Jets have not scored AT ALL in the first quarter all year. )

I'd take Army to the bank.

Those college picks didn't do so well.

I am back and will post a followup later today or tomorrow. The only ones of these college picks that I actually wagered on were Mizzou (loss) and Wisconsin (big win), plus I played Army in a 6 team parlay that lost. That said, I also bet on a LOT more games than just the ones mentioned here and managed to hit nearly every single one of them. I was also up big (relatively speaking) playing $4-8 limit all weekend, didn't play no limit once and didn't really miss it. Probably my best Vegas trip ever, as far as winning money. More details to come.
