Happy Thursday gypsies!
LockCitySports.com is finally getting its first pube with this post (site will be finished by end of day). I don’t know what it is, but after a horrific 1-4 start during the first week of college football, I’ve gone 17-4-1, which even I’m impressed with. But I don’t splurge on every game. No. Gotta bet smart, and while their are some games that look sexy as hell to bet, don’t do it. I only bet games that I know the outcome before it even happens. Miss Cleo status. Got three absolute locks going for this Saturday:
1. Georgia Tech -8 at Virginia
First off I shouldn’t have to tell you why this is a lock. But I’ll do it anyway. Georgia Tech literally has the most explosive offense in college football. They put up more points than an Asian woman on her drivers license. It’s really going to come down to who gets the most consistant play from the QB position. GTech’s QB has 10 Td and 2 ints. Virginias has 2 Td and 7 ints. Thats a joke. You have to be a whole different brand of loser to go 2-7 as a college QB. Most importantly (at least to some of you) GTech is 4-1-1 ATS this year and Virginia is 1-4. I really think 8 points is ridiculous and I would take Georgia Tech if the spread was -16.5. Lay the points and collect that paper.
GEORGIA TECH -8
2. Florida -1.5 at Auburn
I know that Auburn is #23 in the country and at home and getting points and Floridas QB is hurt and blah blah blah. Don’t care. Florida is a much better team at almost every single position. But most importantly, they CRUSH Auburn when it comes down to speed. Rainey and Demps are the two fastest runners in the country and are going to be the difference makers in this one. Brantley is still out for Florida which sucks but at the end of the day, I really can see Brissett having a really big game on the road this week. He faces Alabama and LSU back to back weeks and got rocked. Would have happened to anyone. Those are 2 NFL defenses. Auburn’s D isn’t even CLOSE in talent level as those two previous defenses are. Having said that, Brissett could really elevate his game against this defense, considering all he has seen so far are the 2 best to get him ready for this week. Auburn is 2-4 ATS this year while Florida is 4-2.
FLORIDA -1.5
3. Clemson -7.5 at Maryland
Hate to do it. Hate to. Especially since I will be at this game to cheer on the Terps at homecoming, but sorry guys. Clemson is going to demolish Maryland. For hours I’ve been thinking about how Maryland will be able to stop Clemson. Hours. Can’t think of one legit way that the shaky D of Maryland, that gave up 4,o00 points to TEMPLE, will be able to stop one of those most explosive offenses in college football. Not to mention WR Sammy Watkins has looked like a top 3 pick in the upcoming draft thus far. Maryland fans might argue, “We have Danny O’Brien! He is going to light it up!” Ok well lets compare quarterbacks this year. Danny O’ has 4 TD, 6 INT, 930 yards. Eh. On the other hand, Tajh Boyd has 15 TD, 2 INT, 1742 yards. There goes THAT argument. “But it’s Maryland homecoming! The fans will be amped for this one!” Uhh, not really. For sure not. If there is one thing that Maryland is not, its intimidating. Not a hard place to play at all. Fans are barely into it, and most of them are just freshman that live in dorms adjacent to the stadium. Also I read that theres a chance it might rain. If that is the case then forget about it. Stadium will be at 50% capacity. Maybe. I can’t see Maryland losing by less than 2 touchdowns on Saturday. Sorry. If you go to the game on Saturday, find me, I’ll be the guy decked out in Maryland gear rooting for Clemson. I’m an asshole I know.
CLEMSON -7.5
