College Football Free Picks Week 10
October 31, 2008
Total Pro Sports - Last week we went 2-1 which moves the overall record to 7-8. We got trapped playing a funny looking line when the over/under for the Georgia/LSU game was sitting at 50 points. It was almost like they wanted people to play that under hard and as if they knew that both defences wouldn't show up. This week we will not make the same mistake by avoiding the odd looking lines and sticking to what we know best.
There are some interesting games again this week so let take a look at this weeks College Football Free Picks for week 10, and who we will be laying money on.
1. Florida Gators (-6.5, O/U 56.5) @ Georgia Bulldogs
Pick: Florida Gators -6.5 - This line is way too big for a game of this calibre, played on a neutral site. That is why you should take the largely favored Gators, because if a line looks too good to be true then it probably is. The Gators are rolling right now and not to say that Georgia isn't playing well because they are, however they are coming off an emotional win at LSU last week and I expect them to have a let down this week. Take the favored Gators and don't make the mistake of taking the bait.
