My first full week of wild guesses in our new conference was on par with my Pac-12 wild guesses. I went 9-7, bringing my season total to 10-8. Here's last week: https://bearinsider.com/forums/2/topics/121880
Same drill as always, odds are for the home team, my pick in italics.
Cal @ Auburn -13: Banged up team vs. SEC opponent in southern heat and humidity. Perfect recipe for Cal to surprise and beat the spread. My rationale: none whatsoever, but why not?
BYU @ SMU -10.5: Early season holy war, Mormons vs. Methodists. SMU will probably win but not cover.
Duke @ Northwestern -2.5: Hang tight Duke fans, basketball isn't that far off. Northwestern to cover.
Georgia Tech @ Syracuse +3: This should be a pretty good game. Tech covers.
Pitt @ Cincinnati -2: Should be a close game. Taking our new ACC brethren to beat the spread.
Jacksonville State @ Louisville -28: Louisville has the firepower to cover.
Charlotte @ North Carolina -22: Hoping someone is going to curb stomp Mack Brown, but it won't be Charlotte. NC covers.
Marshall @ Virginia Tech -19.5: VT finds a way to cover, probably by the old fashioned way of scoring enough points.
Virginia @ Wake Forest -1.5: Should be another close game. WF shows more demon than deacon to cover.
Tennessee @ NC State +8: This will be a fun game to watch. In the end, the Volunteers cover.
Appalachian State @ Clemson -17.5: Appalachian hangs around long enough to beat the spread.
No line for the following:
Duquesne @ Boston College
Florida A&M @ Miami
Cal Poly @ Furd
Florida State has a Bye week to contemplate whether they are not spending their NIL money wisely.
