I picked last week’s Ohio State football game wrong which should come as no surprise but it sure wasn’t the only game I missed on.

Last week I felt good about my picks against the spread but finished 2-6. My record this season now stands at 37-35-2.

Let’s see if I can do better this week. Point spreads are from Bovada.

Alabama (1) by 23 over Mississippi State:  I am almost at the point if Alabama was favored by 50 over a ranked team I would lay the points. I’ll take the Tide and do just that this week.

Clemson (2) by 18 over Boston College:  I am a Clemson believer but I don’t feel good about this game. I will take BC and the points.

Notre Dame (3) by 17 over Florida State:  Florida State isn’t very good but I don’t like this spread. I’ll take the Seminoles and the points.

Michigan (4) by 39 over Rutgers:  My gut says Michigan covers but 39 points is a lot to give so I’ll take Rutgers and the points.

Georgia (5) by 14 over Auburn:  I don’t think this game will be close so I’ll take Georgia to cover.

Oklahoma (6) by 21 over Oklahoma State:  Too many points for an in-state rivalry game so I’ll take Oklahoma State and the points.

LSU (7) by 13 over Arkansas:  LSU is overrated but Arkansas stinks. I’ll Take the Tigers and lay the points.

Washington State (8) by 7 over Colorado:  Am I missing something here? Shouldn’t Washington State be favored by 20? I’ll take the Cougars to cover.

West Virginia (9) by 14 over TCU:  I will take the Mountaineers to cover simply because they are at home.

Ohio State (10) by 4.5 over Michigan State:  I have missed on Ohio State football games five times in a row by picking them to cover. Not this week because I think this game will be decided by a field goal so I’ll take Michigan State and the points.

Next. Predictions for week 11 game vs. Michigan State. dark

There you have it, my picks against the spread of games involving top ten teams. Let’s see if I can’t get back on the winning track this week.
