Thank you to all (any?) of the listeners of Take the Points over the past four years. We've had a lot of fun talking college football and general nonsense while being able to make a few bucks betting on Saturdays (or on a Monday betting the Clemson ML).
It's Year Five, so we decided to post some picks on Covers. We'll post a Lock, Trap and Total of the week as well as some last minute panic / degenerate picks.
I'd like to make it clear that we are NOT a bunch of jagoffs who charge money for picks or to listen to a podcast!
Now it's time for some picks...
YTD 0-0
Lock of the Week: Alabama -7.
Returning too much offensively. We've seen this script so many times with Alabama steamrolling someone early in the season out of conference. FSU bettors probably took McGreggor too...
Trap of the Week: NMSU +22.5.
Last meeting was in 1999 as #20 ranked Arizona State (-27.5) lost OUTRIGHT to New Mexico State. NMSU returns their QB, RB (one of the most underrated in country) and 7 of the 8 top TE/WR's. Arizona State continues to struggle defensively and NMSU will score. Also ASU will be unveiling a new Pat Tillman statue tonight and a new scoreboard. It'd be so fitting to watch ASU choke this game away given the extra excitement in the crowd. Also, it will be extremely hot tonight and NMSU is one of the few teams who can handle this August Arizona heat. Keep in mind Arizona SHOULD have lost to Grambling last year. Maybe it's Arizona State's turn for a scare in 2017?
Total of the Week: Tulsa / Ok State O 69.5
GUNDY. MASON. JAMES. 80 degrees and sunny at kickoff.
Good Luck to everyone in 2017!!!!!!!!
