Two lukewarm weeks so far, but never fear -- it will catch up with me soon. I'm due for a truly brutal weekend, so here are my Week 8 selections to fade:
Ohio State -18.5 vs. Purdue: The Buckeyes gave up half a hundred last week -- and still won -- while Purdue was exposed as a pretender for the second consecutive week. You'd think that the Boilermakers would show up at some point, but we'll say "not yet."
LSU -4 at Texas A&M: I hear that I'm going against several "sharp" plays here, but that's never stopped me before! Betting "old SEC" teams over "new SEC" teams like the Aggies and Missouri has been good to be so far.
Iowa State +14 at Oklahoma State: No numbers to back this up, but when it comes to supposed "revenge games," I always like the underdog who will supposedly be getting drilled. Some may say it was a fluke that the Cyclones upset the Cowboys last year in Ames, but sometimes, it's just a matter of matchups or clash of styles. We're going with it.
BYU +14 at Notre Dame: Really thought the Cougars were a good play last week at home as a 5.5-point favorite against Oregon State -- WRONG! However, you're always getting extra points fading the Golden Domers, so let's bet that this is Letdown Week in South Bend.
Navy -3 vs. Indiana: The Hoosiers have played their collective balls off the last two games, just coming up short in bids to upset Michigan State and Ohio State. Now, Indiana steps out of the Big Ten to play a lesser-name foe ... supposedly.
TCU +2 vs. Texas Tech: Horned Frogs showed they were vastly under-rated with their backup QB at the controls, but for me, this is simply about fading the Red Raiders after their big win over West Virginia.
Colorado +41 at Southern California: Because I hear that if you blindly play every underdog of 40 points or more you win at a rate of 56 percent. I heard it, so it must be gold, right?
