Good teams win, great teams cover Part VI

By Joe Smeltzer
The boys are back. I am off this week, so lets see what the rest of our crew has to say about the spread.

Brad
College
Washington State (-10) over Cal
The Cougars' only loss was by three on the road at USC.  They've beaten ranked teams the past two weeks and should get the win against a Bears team on the verge of a letdown.

UAB (-22) over UTSA
 UAB is undefeated in conference play and has a stout defense.  UTSA offense has struggled, while it's defense can't stop a nosebleed.  That's not a good recipe.

Clemson (-40) over Louisville
Yeah, I'm taking Clemson in this one.

UVA (-7.5) over Pitt
 I like UVA in this one.  Pitt has been decent this year, but UVA has been great (for them).  Cavs by 11.

Update: Brad was wrong

NFL

KC (-8) over Cleveland
I think the Chiefs are the best team in the NFL.  That doesn't set up well for the Browns who just fired their head coach and OC.

San Francisco (-3) over Oakland
The Niners aren't good.  Neither are the Raiders.  Give me the home team in this one.

Update: Brad was right

Falcons (+1.5) over Washington 
Atlanta is heating up having won two in a row.  I think it'll win straight up.

Falcons (+1.5) over Washington

The Falcons are heating up having won two in a row.  I think they'll win straight up.

Jeff 
College
Michigan vs. Penn State (+12)
Both of these coaches suck. Both teams will be playing to lose so it will be a close a game. For that, I’ll take Penn State +12.

Kentucky(+9) vs. Georgia
I think the Wildcats are better than people think and pull off an upset vs. Georgia.

West Virginia (+2) vs. Texas
This is a steal. WVU, led by Will Grier, is clearly the better team and will get a big win in Austin.

Alabama(-14.5) vs. LSU 
The Crimson tide will clearly show they are the best team in the country with an absolute slashing of LSU.

NFL
Bears(-10) vs. Bills
Buffalo isn't good, and the Bears are very talented. Easy pick.

Steelers(+3) vs. Ravens
Another steal. Pittsburgh is on a roll, while Baltimore is banged up. Easy money.

Rams (-1.5) vs. Saints
The Rams will win this one by a field goal

Patriots(-5.5) vs. Packers
New England is going to dominate this game and win by 21.


NFL
Bears(-10) vs. Bills- 
Buffalo isn't good, and the Bears are very talented. Easy pick.

Steelers(+3) vs. Ravens- Another steal. Pittsburgh is on a roll, while Baltimore is banged up. Easy money.

Rams (-1.5) vs. Saints- The Rams will win this one by a field goal

Patriots(-5.5) vs. Packers- New England is going to dominate this game and win by 21.

Rutz
College
Virginia Tech (+2) over Boston College

Georgia Tech (-6) over North Carolina
The Tar Heels are utter trash

UGA +9.5 over Kentucky
Georgia should win by 20.

Penn State (+12) over Michigan
Expect a tight Wolverine win


NFL
Seattle -2 over LA
Love the Seahawks at home. They will be the one in 8-1.


Redskins -1.5 over Falcons
Because I'm superstitious

Chiefs -8.5 over Browns
Because the Chiefs are good and the Browns are not good

Titans +6 over Cowboys
Dallas is inconsistent and when in doubt take the points
