$$$Jetro's Power Picks-Week 8$$$

[jetro315]

Most people on here don't know me but I observe this site alot, just don't post much. I have some picks that I feel pretty good about so you should play them since I can see into the future. lol I will try to put it in order of how i like the games but this could easily change by gametime:

4 Stars
Arizona +2-vs-Cal
Cal isn't as good as they appear and Arizona is really strong at home. This is a good spot for Ari and a bad one for Cal. I see Zona winning pretty convincingly.
Ari 31 Cal 21

Mich St +4-vs-Ohio St
I bought it up to 4 when it opened at 3.5 b/c i knew it would go down. It's already down to 3. Ohio St is overrated and have their biggest game of the year next week against Penn St. Mich St is well coached and tough at home. Ringer is a horse and will get the ball 30+ times if he needs to. I think we may see Ohio St get exposed and Mich St wins SU.
Mich St 24 Ohio St 14

3 Stars
Purdue +4 @NW
I love this spot for Purdue. I think NW is overrated and they are playing a Purdue team who is ready to break out. Purdue has had a tough schedule and have looked horrible. This is a perfect spot for them to show what they're made of. Painter is not as bad as he's looked and Sheets is solid. Sheets will have a big day and Purdue spoils NW's homecoming.
Pur 30 NW 24

Navy +4-vs-Pitt
Navy coming off a bye as is Pitt but for some reason i think Navy will be more prepared. Prob b/c Wanstache is a horrendous coach. As a former Dolphins fan i can tell you that first hand. Pitt does have an explosive back though in McCoy, he should give Navy fits. But Navy did a pretty good job stopping Air Force on the ground which isn't an easy task. You know they spent the whole week trying to find ways to stop McCoy and I don't see Stull beating them. He's gutsy but not too talented right now. Navy can play with the big boys and have proved it already this year beating Wake,Rutgers and AFA. None of those teams are top 10 material but Navy beat Wake and AFA on the road. Now they come home and play an overrated Pitt team who are poorly coached. I like Navy to win on the field.
Navy 21 Pitt 13


Other leans/ possible plays:

TCU -pk-vs-BYU (crazy line movement already. I like the tough D at home over the explosive O)
TCU 24 BYU 20

Rut +2-vs-Uconn(Rutg playing better,Uconn struggling w/out QB. This would be the win of the year for Rutg. They will pull out all the stops)
Rut 20 UConn 14

Vir +6-vs-UNC(Vir on fire at home, UNC w/out best player on O. UNC is for real though but Vir has to be feeling as good as any team right now)
UNC 21 Vir 20

Kentucky -9-vs-Ark(Kentucky has been playing well but losing to good teams, this week they win pretty easy after Ark pulled off an upset last week against a mess of an Auburn team. Hate to see D.Lyons out though)
Ken 31 Ark 10

Buf -12-vs-Army(Buf lost a heartbreaker last week and are home against an Army team who have played over their heads. They will be out for blood)
Buf 34 Army 3

SC +4 -vs-LSU(should be low scoring and i think SC covers but not sure if they win. Don't know if i'm brave enough to play this yet, but usually when i'm nervous about a play is when i win)
SC 17 LSU 14

Ten-7-vs-Miss St(Ten finally plays a great game this week. They have been looking better lately and Miss State coming off of their best win of the season. They are due for a major letdown)
Ten 27 Miss St 13


These are possibilites right now but not definate. I will watch everything closely to see how they look as we get closer. I like these alot as of now and have a few more plays that I might add. Will eliminate a few games as we move closer though. Opinions appreciated.

I can see Mich St beating Ohio St this week and losing to Michigan team they should beat on the road. College football is too crazy, but you gotta love it.

The more i think about it the more i like Buffalo and Kentucky. These should be blowouts. Maybe Tennessee too, but i don't know if i trust that team. They are due for a big week though.

Thanks for all the responses.

I don't like the Buffalo play. Army has turned a bit of a corner and I think they can stay fairly close here.

Army has been playing better, that's for sure. They are coming off 2 wins in a row. They went to Tulane and crushed them in an impressive win and then squeaked by a pretty weak Eastern Michigan team by 4 pts at home last week. Those 2 teams have a combined record of 4-8. They also played Tex A&M tough the week before Tulane at their place. They lost by only 5 pts. That's impressive even though A&M are nothing what they usually are this year. Army due to come back down to Earth and i think this will be the week on the road.

Buffalo is coming off an absolutely disaster of a game last week against a very tough Western Michigan team who is 6-1. They had a huge lead late on W.Mich and collapsed for a very tough loss. Buffalo is 2-4 but look at their opponents. They lost to Pitt, Mizzou, C.Mich & W.Mich who have a combined record of 19-5. The most they lost by was 21 to Mizz but they played them tough all game and put up 21 pts on them at their place. They lost by 9 to Pitt in a tough game and lost to C.Mich & W.Mich by a combined 8 pts. They are going to come out strong this week take it to the bank. This might actually be my play of the week b/c the more i look into the more i love it. Turner Gill has those boys playing some good football and they have had some bad breaks but this week they are going to ROLL Army.

Note- Army lost to New Hampshire 28-10 at home Week 2. They are not even D-1A

These are my plays so far:

Haw-Boise St under 53 (in progress)

Mich St +4 (bought half pt early when it was at 3.5) 3 units

Pur +4.5 (bought half pt) 3 units

Maryland+3.5(bought half) 2 units

Duke +4.5(half) 2 units

Ole Miss +13 (bought 1 pt) 2 units

Buffalo -10 (bought 1) 2 units

Virginia-4.5 (half) 2 units

Rutgers pk (could've had it at 2.5 yesterday but crazy line movement makes me like Rutg more) 2 units

I know it's alot of plays, I normally don't like this many but i like them alot. I will be playing some night games too when i see the results of these bad boys.


Most likely these are the games i will play:

Arizona(definate)

S.Car(not sure yet)

Tex(originally liked Mizz but shifted towards the Horns, not sure yet though, i have to feel it in my gut right near kickoff)

Illinois(not sure yet but i like it. their lack of D worries me)

That's all i got for now. Lets do ths!
