South Carolina Game Cocks

Current Profit/Loss: +0.3 units. The season is still early and we are still are on the plus side.

OLE MISS VS SOUTH CAROLINA OVER 53

I really think there has been a change in the SEC this year. It seems as though the offensives are much better than the defenses this year. QB’s are really taking aim at weaker secondaries and the scores have been evident of that fact. Just look at some of the scores with SEC teams involved from Week 3:

1) Georgia 52 Arkansas 41

2) Auburn 41 WVU 30

3) UK 31 Loui 27

4) Ole Miss 52 SE Loui 6

Week 2:

1) Auburn 49 Miss St 24

2) Georgia 41 SC 37

This is just few examples. Remember this is a conference that has been historically filled with power/defensive-minded teams. Therefore, the books really haven’t adjusted these totals yet and I think that will come in the next few weeks, a major adjustment in the totals. However, tonight’s number is way too low. I think it should be set closer to 57. So take the over as these teams should put 60+ points tonight.

THE PLAY: OLE MISS/SC OVER 53 for 1 unit

Good Luck.…

I’m going to throw out some quick week 7 college picks against the spread (HOME TEAMS IN CAPS). I like the Vanderbilt and BYU picks the most and I would give some consideration to Kentucky.

Vanderbilt -3 OVER MISSISSIPPI STATE

I like this game a lot. Vanderbilt is rolling with their 5-0 record and they’re 5-0 ATS to boot. Mississippi State is a dismal 1-4 (2-2 ATS) with their sole win over Southeastern Louisiana. They were manhandeled by Georgia Tech, but in their defense, they hung with LSU losing that one by a score of 34-24. Vandy has impressive wins over Auburn, Ole Miss, and South Carolina. Vanderbilt is also manufacturing turnovers. Their 26.6 PPG is better than Miss St.’s 16.2 and Vandy is only allowing 16.2 PPG compared to Miss. St.’s 21.4.

KENTUCKY -1 OVER South Carolina

This should be a good one. Kentrucky is 4-1 and S. Carolina is 4-2. Kentucky is scoring more points than the Game Cocks, are allowing less points, and have the advantage being at home. Kentucky is 3-0 at home this year (albiet, against teams they should crush) compared to S. Carolina’s 1-1 road record. S. Carolina dropped one last week to Ole Miss, while Kentucky lost by only 3 on the road to an outstanding Alabama team.

Iowa -5 OVER INDIANA

Indiana doesn’t play much defense and Iowa does. Iowa’s dropped 3 straight, but they’ve faced very good teams (Michigan State, Northwester, Pittsburgh). Indiana lost by 13 to Michigan State at home, 42-29. Iowa lost to MSU on the road 16-13. They held a team with a Heisman hopeful RB to 16 points: that’s very good. I like Iowa’s defense to dominate this game and Indiana’s defense should give up points.

LSU …
