Vegas Martin’s Week 6 NFL Picks
Brandon Phillip’s Week 7 College Football Picks — The dude’s still hot, 7-4 this week.
To the video:
…
Brandon had a solid week with his picks. He ended up in positive territory with a 7-4 record. My college football picks were 3-4-1. My top 5 got banged up going 1-4 and my bonus picks were 2-0-1.
USC was in the money most of the game, but came out with a 7-point win so they didn’t cover the 10. Wake Forest was blown up by Clemson, Kansas was shockingly upset by Colorado, and Ohio State was upset by Purdue. We finally see the upsets occurring. That’s why you really have to be careful betting against the home underdogs, especially in college football. I was also somewhat surprised by the Virginia Tech loss to Georgia Tech, but GT is a solid football team and it shows you again just how valuable home field is in college football.
I really liked the Boston College pick at a mere -2 at home, but read too much into things since NCS has been able to put up offense and has been solid against the run. They are just unable to win games. I knew BC was the much better football team, but talked myself out of putting it in the top 5 plays due to those reasons.
The South Carolina +18 was another solid call, but I found it hard to bet against a hot team like Alabama, especially when they’re 4-1 ATS and have covered high spreads all season long, but with a quality team like South Carolina, I knew the 18 points was just way too high.
The only game I played in college football was Kansas since I figured they would light up the scoreboard on a bad defense, but Colorado finally put up a solid performance out of nowhere. …
Question: Week 7 RB advice?
Who should I start, Matt Forte or Jonathan Stewart? Stewart is playing Buffalo and Forte is playing the Bengals.
Best answer:
I would go with Stewart. He’s got a favorable matchup and should look good against the Bills defense this week.
Give your answer to this question below!…
I’ve posted my picks for the Friday Rutgers/Pitt game and the big Red River Rivalry, but like I said in those picks, those games are not worth betting on. They’re more of just “publicity” posts in order to get more readership to the site since a lot of football fans are searching for information on those games.
In this post, I’ll highlight what I think are the strongest plays to make this Saturday. As always, home teams in caps (you should know this by now). Remember to check THE PASS RUSH prior to kick off prior to Saturday and Sunday if there’s any late-breaking information on games or spreads.
VEGAS MARTIN’S TOP 5 PICKS RANKED BY STRENGTH:
1.) Kansas -9.5 over COLORADO: (L) Colorado is really bad at 1-5 and they’re up against the 15th ranked Kansas Jayhawks. Kansas is scoring 40.5 PPG and Colorado is giving up 30 PPG. Kansas’s Todd Reesing is completing 70% of his passes and has a 13/3 TD/INT ration. This looks like an easy domination by Kansas.
2.) Ohio State -13 over PURDUE: (L) Ohio State is incredible and Purdue is 1-5. Purdue lost by 15 to Minnesota last week and lost by 6 to a mediocre Northwestern team the week before. I don’t think Ohio State has any problems blowing this team out. This is one of the stronger plays of the week. There are no major injuries to be worried about except that RB Herron is doubtful, but they can dominate the game even if he can’t play. Take Ohio State. Prediction: Ohio State 31 – Purdue 10.
3.) Wake Forest +7.5 over CLEMSON: (L) I don’t understand why Clemson is such a heavy favorite. Wake Forest has a much better QB …
Tomorrow is the Red River Rivalry, which means that Texas and Oklahoma gear up for their battle at high noon. This is one of my favorite football games of the year. There’s just something about this rivalry that gets me all geeked up. At THE PASS RUSH, I like to explore these big college matchups to give new visitors a sneak peak at the free football betting services that we provide. Let’s turn to the action.
NO. 3 TEXAS LONGHORNS (5-0, 2-0) -3 VS. NO. 20 OKLAHOMA SOONERS (3-2, 1-0)
Date: Saturday, October 17 — Noon (ABC)
First, the Red River Rivalry takes place on a neutral field. It takes place at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, so you don’t have to worry about how home-field will effect this game, although it’s more of a home game for Texas.
You also have to look into the Sooners record. You see 3-2 and may assume they’re a weaker team this year, but you have to look into that since Oklahoma could easily be 5-0 if Bradford didn’t get injured. OU has faced two tough losses. The first loss was in week one to a quality BYU team who beat them by a mere point, 14-13. Their second loss of the season came from a stellar Miami team in another one-point loss, 21-20.
Sam Bradford was injured in the first week of the season and didn’t make a comeback until last week when he played outstanding, defeating Baylor 33-7. How about these stats. 27/49, 389 yards, 1 TD, 0 INTs. Although he completed only 55% of his passes, those are quality numbers. The Sooners running game is also legit, but Texas isn’t far behind. Oklahoma ran for 203 yards on Baylor.
Texas …
PITTSBURGH PANTHERS (5-1) -6 @ RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS (4-1)
Tonight’s college football action features a pretty decent game for a Friday night. Pittsburgh will be traveling to take on the Rutgers. After Rutgers was embarrassed in week one by Cincinnati, a lot of people wrote off Rutgers as a terrible team, but we didn’t realize just how good of a team Cincinnati truly is. Despite rattling off four straight wins, Rutgers hasn’t beaten anyone impressive. They destroyed Texas Southern last week 42-0 and beat Maryland 34-13 the week before.
Pittsburgh is coming off a last-minute win against UCONN at home last week. Pittsburgh has an edge at the QB position. Bill Stull is completing 67% of his passes, has passed for 13 TDs with just 3 INTs, and has 1256 yards. That’s almost double Rutgers’ QB Tom Savage’s output, who is only completing 55% of his passes.
What’s impressed me with Rutgers lately is their defense and play against the run. In Rutger’s last 3 games, they’ve completely shut down the run, allowing just 0.6 yards per attempt. On the year, they’re allowing just 2.3 yards per attempt. In all other stats, these teams match up pretty well. Both score an average of 31-34 points while the defenses allow 16-18 points.
With Pittsburgh’s QB, that gives Pittsburgh a tremendous edge, but I’m really impressed with how Rutgers has been able to completely shut down the run the last few games.
10/16 experts like Pittsburgh to cover the spread and Pittsburgh has 67% of the consensus vote. I’m going against the grain here. I think Pittsburgh may have done a little too much partying last week after the UCONN win and comes out with a lack of focus.
I’ll take the …
What’s up my peeps. Vegas Martin is back and ready to give his NFL Week 6 picks against the spread. It’s no secret that THE PASS RUSH has absolutely given the books the spanking this past week in both the NFL and College Football. I don’t want to get too cocky here since there is no such thing as a lock and I will also advise you to do your own due diligence on each game you pick, but let’s take a look at the spreads and see if we can spot any easy money this week. Again, I ranked my top 5 spreads of the week at the bottom of this article. Enjoy! Thanks for all the comments lately — keep it up and thanks for contributing to THE PASS RUSH.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS -6
I’ve been saying for the last few weeks that the Redskins are a horrible team to bet on. They have a very poor offense, but their defense gives them the chance to win every week. I also love picking against “NFL retards,” one of which includes the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs were able to hang with the Cowboys, but they’re a completely different team when they’re on the road compared to being at home. For the sake of picking this game, I’ll say the Redskins cover and win by a TD, but would I be surprised with a mere 3-point win by the Redskins? No. Avoid this game.
Prediction: Redskins 20 – Chiefs 13
Free Pick: Redskins -6 (Confidence: 2/5) (L)
HOUSTON TEXANS @ CINCINNATI BENGALS -4.5
The Bengals are 4-1, can you believe it? I can’t! With a poor Texans defense and potent offense, I think the over 46 …
