Boom!!! Goes The Dynamite

First things first.  San Diego has the worst airport in America to be delayed at.  There is only one "restaurant" in the Southwest terminal (that's Terminal 1 for the uninitiated), and it's a dump.  But it did have the final game of this weekend on display and cold beer so things could have been worse.  When I finally boarded my plane, Seattle was covering (-4.5) and I came very close to learning all about Sky Law as they clung to a 14-9 lead during our descent and I was reluctant to power down my portable device.  We all know it's a scam.  

Important Thing We Learned - Seattle will play to its competition and is terrifying to gamble on.  We kinda knew this, but the Arizona game made us temporarily forget.  

Other Stuff We Learned - Aside from San Diego being a terrible airport, we learned that Chiefs might be showing signs of being vulnerable.  Cincinnati, Miami, New York Jets, Philadelphia, Dallas, NYG and New England are super unpredictable.  Detroit is percolating up.  Minnesota might be the best terrible team in the league.  The Raiders continue to be a home pick.  We still don't trust that Green Bay is any good.  San Francisco has gotten its swagger back.  Jacksonville is a terrible, horrible, very bad, no good football team.  Denver will beat bad teams badly.  Washington is one of those teams.  New Orleans might be real deal, but I'm not sure I'll take them on the road at Carolina.  Pittsburgh = Meh.  

So with a perfect weekend - 3 for 3 on teases, we have made up for last weekend's debacle and are looking at the following games:

College Games We Really Like:

Miami at Florida State (-22).  Yes, please!  Miami might be the worst undefeated team left in college, and Florida State might be best.  42-0 in just over 26 minutes of work, and it wasn't even that close.  I doubt Jimbo will rest the starters in the second half with the entire nation watching.

Tennessee at Missouri (-12.5).  We are not down on Missouri despite their loss.  South Carolina's QB dressed as bald, white, Willis Reed and rallied them back against a team playing a prevent defense.  By that time, it was too late for Missouri to get hot again.  Also, as we previously discussed, this happened.

Ohio State (-30.5) at Purdue.  Make no mistake, Urban Meyer is every bit as ruthless as Nick Saban.  He knows that unless he runs the table, puts up insane numbers and gets some help, OSU has no shot at the BCS title game.  I expect them to roll the train drivers.

Michigan at Michigan State (-4.5).  Instate rivalry game, blah, blah, blah.  Over the last few weeks, Michigan has looked pedestrian at best.  Meanwhile, MSU has gone from a defensive team that suffered its offense to a complete team that OSU is not looking forward to meeting in the Big 10-12 championship.  

Other Games That Look Really Good But We Might Not Have The Stones To Bet Them:

OKST (+2.5) at TX Tech.  The "I'm a man, I'm 40's" could easily take this against The Notebooks.

Minn (+10) at Indiana.  Ever since the Gopher's coach stepped away to address his health issues, they've won.  Indiana, which we liked early in the season is looking suspect.  

Early NFL Games:

Teasing BUF up at home against KC.  This might be the weekend KC turns into a pumpkin.

PIT (+7) at NE.  I don't trust the Pats, and PIT might just pound Le'Veon Bell for 30 carriers into that decimated defense.  I already hate this game, and we're staying away.

Pilly at OAK (+3).  We like the Raiders at home with a Halloween crowd.

Colts (-2.5) at HOU.  This is based on nothing but a day of travel and a couple of bourbons, but Reggie Wayne's injury might be final piece to Luck completing the transformation into THE FRANCHISE and going on a tear.  Does anyone else remember the debate about who's better - Luck or RGIII?  And who'd have thought Dan Snyder would have picked incorreclty?  Well, other than this guy.

Has there been a 6-2 team that you trust less than Cincy?  Oh, that's right.  The Pats.
