Ohio State football: Picking against the spread week 7
The Ohio State football team failed to cover the spread against the Indiana Hoosiers which kept me from having a winning week picking against the spread.
After a 5-5 record last week I am now 26-18-1 picking against the spread for the season. If the Ohio State football team would have covered the spread last week like I predicted them to I would have been over 60 percent with my season picks.
I did take Florida and the points and put out an upset alert. The Texas upset over Oklahoma helped me out too because I took the Longhorns and the points.
Now for a look at picks against the spread for games involving top 10 teams in week 7. Point spreads by Bovada.
Alabama (1) by 29 over Missouri: I don’t like this spread. Missouri’s two losses were by 14 points to Georgia and by 2 to South Carolina. I’ll take the Tigers and the points.

Georgia (2) by 7 over LSU (13): This is a tough one. Winning in Baton Rouge is always difficult and LSU is coming off a tough loss. I’ll take the Tigers and the points.
Ohio State (3) by 31 over Minnesota: I don’t think Minnesota has the firepower to score many points and won’t be able to slow down the high-powered Ohio State offense. I pick the Buckeyes to cover.
Notre Dame (5) by 22 over Pittsburgh: I like Notre Dame but not the spread so I’ll take Pittsburgh and the points.
West Virginia (6) by 7 over Iowa State: The Cyclones are better than some may think and are playing at home. I’ll take Iowa State and the points.
Washington (7) by 3 over Oregon (17): I don’t know who wins this game so I’ll take Oregon and the points.
Penn State (8) by 13.5 over Michigan State: I think this may be a battle so I’ll take the Spartans and the points.
Texas (9) by 14 over Baylor: I don’t think Texas will have a letdown after the big win last week. I think the Longhorns will roll and cover.
Central Florida (10) by 6 over Memphis: The Knights will want to prove they belong in the top 10 and cover easily.

I picked a lot of underdogs this week which sometimes is the case as the season progresses. I hope I was correct in doing so and can get back on the winning track.
