Results So Far ATS: 2-3
It’s value time with high risk and high reward, but without being totally insane. Go 1-4, and you’re happy. Go 2-3, and you’re really happy. Go 3-2 or better, and your week is made.
This is more about helping to confirm or deny what you already believe, and it’s all about value, so …
5. Georgia Southern at Louisiana
Money Line: Louisiana -475, Georgia Southern +365
PICK: Georgia Southern
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
Desperately begging for all forgiveness here for being so crass in the time of a global pandemic, but how much will the COVID issues on the Ragin’ Cajuns matter?
Georgia Southern went through problems of its own a few weeks ago, and it’s just now starting to get its team back. However, Louisiana struggled last week just to get by Georgia State in overtime and now it’s missing star RB Elijah Mitchell, among others. If the team is struggling with the Eagle option, and if the timing isn’t there, +365 could be a gift.

4. NC State at Virginia Tech
Money Line: Virginia Tech -250, NC State +200
PICK: NC State
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
How sure are you that Virginia Tech is going to be ready to rumble right out of the gate?
NC State needed way too much to get by Wake Forest in its opener, but the offense worked and the defense got a game under its belt. As we’ve seen so far in 2020, conditioning is everything, and that one game might make a difference.
Virginia Tech is good enough to play for the ACC Championship if everything breaks right, and NC State hasn’t won in this series since 2004, but if you’re a believer that the Pack is getting back to pre-2019 form, +200 is a decent number.

3. Georgia Tech at Syracuse
Money Line: Georgia Tech -295, Syracuse +235
PICK: Syracuse
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
Syracuse was the shot for the starts last week at a +1000 against Pitt, and while it didn’t come close to working out, at least the Orange didn’t embarrass themselves – they at least covered.
Georgia Tech beat Florida State in a weird clunker of an opener, and hung around with UCF for just over a half, but it’s the home opener for Syracuse against a team its own size. Pitt is good this year and North Carolina is great – the Orange should be a whole lot better this week.
They’re a better play as an underdog – +8 if you can get it – but a +235 in a relatively even game is great.

2. Kentucky at Auburn
Money Line: Auburn -265, Kentucky +215
PICK: Kentucky
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
18-to-23-year-old young adults barely care about what happened two hours ago much less back in 2015, but that was the last time Kentucky and Auburn played. Auburn won by three.
The time before that was 2010 – Auburn won by three.
Kentucky won in 2009, and it was a whole lot of ugly before that, but for the most part, the relatively recent history of this matchup has been close. Again, anything that happened 11 years ago really and truly has no bearing on right now, unless you’re a believer in streaks and long-term trends.
Sorry for all of that. To get this thing back on the rails …
Auburn is solid, but Kentucky has a strong enough team returning to pull off the upset. The Cats should be able to make the Tigers bog down and play the type of grinding tempo needed to make this close.
If you like the idea that the underdogs are the smart play in this weirdest of all years – and it has been – then UK +215 is a good shot at something big.

1. Army at Cincinnati
Money Line: Cincinnati -550, Army +400
PICK: Army
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
Cincinnati is the better team, it’s the stronger team, and it’s the team that should win this game if it plays its best game and is able to control the game and the clock and grind it out.
But Army has been flawless.
The Knights allowed one second quarter touchdown drive to ULM in a 37-7 win. That’s been it for the scoring for two games in two utterly dominant performances.
If you really believe that Army is the real deal – and it’s given zero indication so far that it’s not – getting +400 as an upset flier isn’t bad.
