[ad_1] The Notre Dame tax is getting ridiculous.

And that’s coming from somebody who guess the Preventing Irish in opposition to Boise State, USC and Navy, and has them because the fourth-best group within the nation.

Extra on that recreation in a second.

I’ve bought six soccer bets this weekend. Bear in mind, this isn’t the place for "locks" or five-team parlays. These are the video games I like essentially the most.

Let’s go to work.

No. 9 Notre Dame (-12.5, O/U 54) @ No. 22 Pittsburgh

Las Vegas bookmakers maintain opening Notre Dame video games excessive, and the market retains driving them up. Final Saturday’s recreation closed -31 in opposition to Navy. Circa Sports activities opened the Irish -10 right here, and now we’re sitting -12.5 all over the place. I believe Pitt QB Mason Heintschel can transfer the ball in opposition to ND’s protection, but it surely really comes all the way down to the quantity for me. It seems like too many factors.

PICK: Pittsburgh (+12.5) to lose by fewer than 12.5 factors or win outright

No. 10 Texas @ No. 5 Georgia (-6.5, O/U 49.5)

The Longhorns are so disrespected right here it hurts. It’s uncommon to get a group with this a lot expertise and velocity catching virtually a landing, but right here we're. Georgia’s offense has gotten again on monitor, largely by way of the working recreation. And that performs straight into the energy of the Texas protection. If Arch Manning could make performs, don’t be shocked if this one is tied late.

PICK: Texas (+6.5) to lose by fewer than 6.5 factors or win outright

Florida @ No. 7 Ole Miss (-11.5, O/U 53.5)

This recreation has seen insane line motion all through the week. Revered cash guess Ole Miss from -13.5 to -17 final Sunday. Florida backers slowly pushed again at +17 and +16 and bought us to +13.5 by Thursday afternoon. Now we’re at +11.5?! Maintain the telephone. Florida fully give up final week in opposition to Kentucky and there are whispers about a number of gamers opting out. I would wish north of two touchdowns to again the Gators.

PICK: Ole Miss (-11.5) to win by greater than 11.5 factors

Mississippi State @ Missouri (-7, O/U 51.5)

It’s too unhealthy that Tigers QB Beau Pribula bought harm in opposition to Vanderbilt as a result of Missouri’s offense appears rudderless with out him. Positive, Mississippi State bought drilled by Georgia final week, however Missouri’s offense is a piece in progress with freshman Matt Zollers working the present. That is a kind of plug-your-nose-and-play-the-ugly-'canine spots that make you squeamish till kickoff.

PICK: Mississippi State (+7) to lose by fewer than 7 factors or win outright

Bears @ Vikings (-2.5, O/U 48)

The luckbox Bears discovered one other horseshoe out final week as a result of Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart was knocked out with a concussion. Now Ben Johnson’s bunch heads to Minnesota to face J.J. McCarthy and an offensive line that’s getting more healthy. I consider the Vikings can run the ball on Chicago’s protection and may’t wait to see Brian Flores in opposition to Caleb Williams.

PICK: Vikings (-2.5) to win by greater than 2.5 factors

Packers (-7, O/U 42.5) @ Giants

The Giants fired their head coach and made a change at quarterback. Right here we go. Former St. Rita Mustang Mike Kafka replaces Brian Daboll and Jameis Winston will get the Sunday begin in opposition to Inexperienced Bay. Jameis’ first begins have been magical over time — simply ask the Ravens final yr. Then actuality kicks in after a few video games. Let’s journey the change and take factors.

PICK: Giants (+7) to lose by fewer than 7 factors or win outright
