This Is Why People Don't Make Money On Sports Gambling

Shocking the world with these picks this week.  Two Thursday games going against top 25 teams and a favorite?  What is going on here?  Guess I'm bucking the trend.  Also, I'm unofficially taking credit for all four of my non-official winners last week (anti Utah St., NC St. +5.5, Alabama -8.5, and Ohio St. -17).  It's my blog, I can do whatever I want.

Here are your 2016 NCAA Week 11/NFL Week 10 Picks!  Nov 8 - Nov 14 WINNERS! (cue Trombone Shorty music)

North Carolina @ Duke +11.5  WIN

Utah @ Arizona St. +6  LOSS

Penn St. @ Indiana +7.5  LOSS

Tulsa +1 @ Navy  LOSS

Vanderbilt @ Missouri -3.5  WIN

Here's what last week looked like:

• Texas A&M @ Mississippi St. +12 WIN 28 - 35 (Margin -7)  Hope you enjoyed your time at the #4 ranked spot TAMU, it was fun while it lasted.


• TCU +8.5 @ Baylor WIN 62 - 22 (Margin -40)  Keep the straight up winners coming!


• Missouri +6.5 @ South Carolina LOSS 21 - 31 (Margin +10)  After keeping it close and tying the game early in the 3rd quarter, the Cocks scored a TD and tacked on a FG, while the Tigers failed to score again (2 missed FGs and 2 interceptions).


• Arizona +17  @ Washington St. LOSS 7 - 69 (Margin +62)  Loss is an understatement.  This annihilates my point differential for the week.  Was looking good after games 1 and 2.


• Georgia @ Kentucky +2.5 LOSS 27 - 24 (Margin +3)  Lost on a last second FG.  Dumb.
