Grinder - Week 12 CFB (writeups)

Back for Week 12 NCAA Football.  Another small winning session last weekend, and if I can’t hit both 5 star plays, then I’ll just revert back to one this week.  I felt bad all day laying that many points with Notre Dame, but that was my #2 play on my card all week.  Live and Learn.  You won’t fool me again Irish.  Back to the plays, it’s been seven straight weeks of winning for the MemphisGrinder.  I like my card this weekend, and will be playing (2) mid-week games this week which is a rare thing for the Grinder.  Good Luck everyone, and appreciate the feedback.

** 5 Star Play **  Northwestern +7.5
They just keep losing the games, but covering the number.  Becoming one of my favorite teams in America.  Every week I play these guys and they are always catching over a TD, and every time I see the scoreboard, they are winning by a TD.   However, they somehow manage to lose the game.  Doesn’t matter to me, because they keep rolling in the benjamins.  This week they finally get the job done.  They play an Overrated Mich State team that really has nothing left to play for.  NW is a stunning (9-1) ATS this year, and Mich State a dismall (3-7).  Bet on this like it’s already been played.

** 3 Star Play ** Clemson -17
Talk about a team that can make the scoreboard click.  Clemson has scored 37 pts or more in every game but 1 this year, and they only mustered 26 in that one.  They are (8-2) ATS this year, and have been padding the fans pockets.  NC State a decent 6-4 SU, but not so good ATS at 3-6.  I just don’t think NC State has the horses to keep up in this game.  Clemson by 3 TDs+

** 3 Star Play ** Ball State -6.5       ** Wednesday Night **
Ball State is just playing awesome football right now.  They are 8-2 ATS and look to take it out on an Ohio Team that got showed it’s role last night in the MAC.  You have to trust me on this one, as I am the MAC King this year.  Get on your man early this week, and pad that bankroll before the weekend gets here.

** 3 Star Play ** Florida Atlantic -2     ** Friday Night **
I’ve faded Florida Intl several times this year, and Friday night will be another fade.  The Pancakes are just not that good, and Atlantic is balling this past few weeks.  I have to think this is a rivalry of some sort in Flordia, but one thing I do know is stats.  Atlantic is 8-2 ATS this year, and that is a friend of mine.  Gimme the Ocean over the Restaurant.  Pre-weekend Bankroll Builder Game of the Year.

Arkansas +7
If I know one thing, I know my MSU Dawgs.  Arkansas is our thorn in the side that we struggle with every year.  We could be 10-0 and playing for a shot at the BCS and they would take us to the wire.  Arkansas has been pathetic ATS this year, but So have we the last 3 weeks.  I have this game at a toss up, so the 7 points here are just a bonus.  Free money in Starkville on Saturday.

Oregon - 20
Wow, we finally get to bet Oregon under 3 TD’s.  This has usually been the 1st half line that I have been getting the past few weeks.   Lots of offense vs. a little of offense.  Easy choice.  Oregon to the bank.

New Mexico +10.5
Nevada got their dreams shattered by Fresno last week and I don’t see them showing up for this game.   Nevada a putrid (2-8) ATS this season and New Mexico plays well at home.  Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner.

Kansas St -12
Talk about a team that looked locked in at the prize on Saturday.  After the Tide fell against Johnny Football, I didn’t think TCU was ever gonna get past midfield.  Baylor can’t beat TCU, and TCU couldn’t stay within 12 points.  Easy math folks.  Baylor’s defense equivalent to hot butter.  Calvin Klein goes big in this one.  4 TD win for Wildcats.

Utah St -3
One thing I learned in my years of gambling is to believe in the streak #bits.  Utah State has cashed every game this year.  Until they quit cashing, I don’t quit betting them.  Utah State wins with the better defense in this one.
