So this is what winning feels like
This is what they call being on a roll, isn't it? I'd forgotten what it feels like. Pitt's big, easy win tonight over Central Florida puts me on a 3-game winning streak. I like it. Let's hope it continues Saturday

For today, my contra-Steve, love-the-dog strategy makes me take:
Washington State + 8 against Cal.
I'm OK with that but I sure don't like…
Kansas State + 8.5 against Nebraska. Rules are rules, though, so I'm stuck cheering for a terrible Ks St team.
You can go ahead and start spending your winnings on the "over 48" on Texas-Baylor. What a no-brainer.
If I were gambling today, my two dogs to cheer on would be:
Syracuse + 25 against West Virginia. W. Va is terribly overrated and Syracuse is improving.
Tx A&M + 2 against Missouri. How can 5-1 A&M give up points to a team that has been a joke for decades? At home! Mo's only "quality win" was against a Texas Tech team that failed to score a touchdown against a TCU team with two losses.

You know, I think Texas covers that 48-point Over by themselves.
Mizzou's not that bad. They're being way overrated and overhyped across the country right now — I don't think they'll even win the Big 12 North — but they're good enough to beat A&M (and their head coach Dennis Franchionovic). Whether they have the consistency to do it this week, I don't know. That's why I laid off that game.
