ozz's pick for the late games

South Carolina vs. Vanderbilt

 

Pick: South Carolina -12.5

Logic: Gamecocks are superior in all 3 facets of the game: offense, defense & special teams.  Add in HF advantage and Spurrier and this one could get ugly quick. 

BOL as always

ozz's two picks for the 5 pm games

Though I've been an avid member of covers, I'm not one for write-ups...

Santa Clara -1 over SD        

Wake Forrest +7 over NC

I'm simply going with the two home teams I think will get the SU win!!

I look for Santa Clara to snap their 3 game winning streak and for Wake to put up a hellacious fight!!!

Risking $100 (2U)

Stanford / Arizona pick

Stanford -180

Going with the Cardinals to win straight up in this match-up.  After watching Arizona in their game vs. UAB, I think that Stanford has the interior depth to rebound after an embarrassing loss and come away with a much needed-confidence boosting W.

Dal / Van pick 1-4-09

Vancouver -180


I like the Nucks at home here to get the win.  Not much time for a write-up, I just believe Dallas will struggle on the road with the rash of injuries they have... I have been hot in NHL, so GL guys.

ozz's two college football picks

I've been having success in Big 10 betting, so I'm going with two favorites today. Good luck with your plays.

Ohio St -9.5 (risking $150 to win $150)

Ohio St has completely dominated my expectations as far as how well they could play on the road.  I expect at least a 2 TD victory from the Buckeyes vs. a very OVER-hyped, UNDER-achieving Illini squad.

Michigan ML -170 (risking $170 to win $100)

I got burnt pretty big time when I took Michigan -3 to open the season vs. Utah.  I'm trying to get some of that $$ BACK since the Wolverines are finally catching their stride and the Wildcats are sliding downwards.

I'm going to Las Vegas Sunday, so I'm hoping that these two picks will give me a little extra spending money!!!

Best of luck to everyone and input IS definitely appreciated

ozz's MNF 11-10

Arizona -9.5

Sticking with the team who has some semblance of offensive cohesiveness.  Arizona has won something like 9 or more games straight at home and I don't see that trend ending today.

I took San Fran -5 two weeks ago at home vs. the Seahawks.  Let's just say that They got routed by about 20 points and since that day I've vowed to never bet on their sorry asses again. 

Mike Singletary is going to have a tough time stopping the juggernaut 'Zone offense while I expect the '49er's seriously struggle to punch it into the end zone.  I'm going with the superior team, with the superior offense at home on the Monday Night Platform.

Arizona -9.5 to the bank.

BOL Everyone, let's finish this awesome weekend up with another well-needed "W". 

ozz's Saturday NCAAF Pick of the Year

Alabama -3

My logic here is simple: 'Bama is deserving of their #1 ranking and for reasons unbeknown to me the line is MONEY.

I literally only choose one POY, with last years being LSU in the Nat'l Title game -4.  For it to be a POY for me it has to meet very strict criterion: only ONE play this strong per YEAR per sport.  I'm so confident in these RARE plays that I tell all of my betting friends about it, give my logic why, and encourage them to bet on it.

Alabama's defense is brutal this year, stepping it up in a way I didn't really think was possible. 

Defensive Edge: 'Bama

Offensively JPW is so much superior to LSU's inexperienced QB(s) that it's not even funny.  JPW protects the football and very rarely makes idiotic decisions.  Unlike LSU, I doubt on the very first play from the line of scrimmage he'll start the game with a pick-6 (LSU/Georgia anyone???)

Offensive Edge: 'Bama

Intangibles worthy of mention are the coaching advantage of Saban.  Simply put, he is one of the finest college football coaches to ever grace the sport and is on a mission to prove that they're worthy of their #1 ranking.
