Default unranked teams favored over ranked teams???

anyone know how they did against the spread last year

this week we got

#18 Utah +4 @oregon
#23 georgia +1 @arkansas
and maybe #17 cincinnati which opened at +1.5 @oregon state (game now pick

did i miss any?


seems like taking the ranked teams and the points seems like the square thing to do...

Sometimes college football and rankings don't make much sense.

Rankings are biased opinions of people who aren't putting their money on the table.
I wont decide 'till gameday, I rarely do, but I'm leaning toward taking Arkansas and Oregon. No opinion on Cincinnati-Oregon State.

Darrell Catchings might be back for the Beavers and could be a nice boost for them.

Cincy can score and they showed against Rutgers that they are ready to play some pysical defense as well.

Default a few picks.

not saying this is a good bet but these are my picks for the week...MLs i can pretty much assume 2 of these picks are gonna lose. the trick is figuring out which two.

college pick of the week cincinatti -120

nfl pick of the week- 4 team parlay: bills, colts and titans on the moneyline before these odds move to where you consider them ridiculous....and with cinci

He leads the nation in carries this year(56 carries for 250 yds.). If he can not play Eddie Wide will play (14 carries for 70yds.)

Unranked Home Team Favored over a ranked team has done very well over the last few years, Saturday has;

Oregon St-1 over Cincinnati, Oregon St. is not ranked in the AP but is in the Coaches Poll, so I don't know that this one counts, but wanted to get a thread going to keep track of these, if you see one that I miss please post it.

Florida state should never be an underdog (+8.5 and +290) to BYU even if they do have that 7 in front of them... child please
