Week 3 (aka Ricky Proctor Week) Picks

After a monster week 2, we have a week devoid of marquee match ups. I don’t have a great feel for most of these games, and expect to come down after a monster week 2 (6-1, 11-5-1 overall). Ricky Proctor has to be the only person superjacked for this week because the Gators and Clemson are involved in the biggest games. I will be in Clearwater Beach for a wedding so I won’t be putting up my notes from Saturday. On to the picks…..

NC State to Cover (getting 1, o/u 55.5) at home against Cincy
Home underdog on Thursday night. Carter Finley will be rocking and the Bearcats have not enjoyed a smooth transition to Butch from BK. More importantly, Forky is doing a seafood tailgate with salmon, shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops, steamed oysters, and catfish.

Arkansas to Cover (getting 2.5, o/u 54) between the Hedges against Georgia
AJ Green’s ridiculous suspension continues…..Dawgs lose. I would feel better about this pick if I could name a Razorback RB, but Mallet should be able to engineer enough scoring drives.

BYU to Cover (getting 10, o/u 60) in Tallahassee against the Noles
I love the Mountain West and hate the ACC. BYU, even without an experienced QB, should be able to throw down the field. Landry Jones showed the nation that is how to beat the Noles.

Florida to Cover (giving 14, o/u 46) in Knoxville against the Vols
The Vols are very bad and have a lot of quit in them. Even without notorious stalker Chris Rainey the Gators should be able to break enough big plays to make this one a laugher by the middle of the 3rd quarter.

ALLBarn to Cover (giving 7.5, o/u 55) at home against Clemson
The ACC is terrible and the crowd in Auburn should be insane. I think the line is a little high, but Cam Newton should give the Tiger D fits and Gus Malzahn and the ALLBarn O will want to improve on their 17 point output against Miss State.

Sparty to Cover (giving 3.5, o/u 51.5) at home against the Irish
Sparty always beats the Irish and Dayne Crist’s blurry vision isn’t instilling much confidence in the Irish’s chances.

Arizona to Cover (getting 1.5, o/u 42.5) at home against Iowa
Iowa always blows an early season game and in Tuscon against Nick Foles is a good of an opportunity as any.
