The Gift That Keeps Giving: Macswain's Picks

Macswain's Season Record: 28-17-2.



Here's this week's picks:

Florida State goes to Gainesville to face in-state rival Florida. The Gators are favored by 3.5 at home. Both teams are struggling late, but FSU's ongoing implosion has been the worst. Take the Gators and give up the points.

The Georgia Bulldogs are favored by 4 as they travel a short way down the road to face Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs'll win by a field goal. Take the points and the Yellowjackets. As a second bet, the over/under is set at a vey low 40. Yet, the teams' defenses are better than their offenses --- take the Under.

It struck me as odd to see Oklahoma favored by 19.5 over Oklahoma State, even though the Sooners are at home. The big question is which Cowboy team will show up - the one that beat Texas Tech two weeks ago or the one that lost to Baylor last week. I say the emotions of a big in-state rivalry will spur on Ok.State. Take the Cowboys and the huge point spread.

In another big spread game, Notre Dame is favored by 16.5 at Stanford. The Irish want to send a message that they deserve to be in a BCS bowl. Bet on the Irish.

Here are this week's spreads.
