Ca-ChiNgCAA bets and NFL locks to make you some cash this weekend.

Back on the wagon this week with some picks of interest for you Hassler Nation. As my Brother of the Books, Dr. Tom, can attest - it’s been a rough start to the football season for us. So probably a good thing no blogs have been put out there on the internet for everyone to mock and tell us how much coin they’ve lost following along. Internet integrity still somewhat in tact, we’re back with a vengeance currently riding a bit of a heater. And just to jinx us I’m throwing out some of the favorite lines of the weekend with action starting tonight. Buckle up, pour yourself a beer (preferably something from Front Street), and hopefully make like a duck and get this bread.

Everyone always says if you have to take points on a tease, you really don’t know how to bet on a particular game. I say give me some extra cushion for a smaller pour of juice every week. If the singles all cash, obviously so does the tease. If you miss one or two calls hopefully it’s not by much and the teaser can help soften any blow to the books. I like the security blanket the tease provides.

This Penn State team has proven its beatable, even at home. Iowa is still very much in the hunt for a Big Ten Championship appearance and at the very least keeps this close. The homer in me is taking them ML as well.

Coming off a beat down in Baton Rouge Georgia looks to get back on track against a somewhat surprising Florida squad. Georgia handles their business at home and makes a statement to the playoff committee that they still belong.

This Cincy team possesses a well balanced offense and a stingy defense that’s barely allowing 15 points per game. Expect the Bearcats to roll in this one and cover even the -10 some sites have them at this weekend.

NC State (-1.5, -110)NC State got absolutely throttled on national television by Clemson last week to the tune of 41-7. This Wolfpack team isn’t as bad as that loss (the first of their season) might indicate. Especially their defense. Despite losing to players to the draft last year (Bradley Chubb and PJ Hill) this NC State defensive unit is still a formidable bunch. Syracuse has gone into OT the last two games and I expect they’re a little taxed coming into this matchup. An angry Wolfpack team takes advantage and cover a close, sneaky good to watch game.
