NFL and College football for 11/15-11/18 Coop’s college plays
1. Georgia Bulldogs -2.5 vs Auburn Tigers
Georgia has just recently been promoted to the top 4 of the playoff rankings. Now they face an Auburn team that is very young across the board. Jr WB Jake Fromm is ready to take his moment and take his team to the college football playoff. Winning this game is just a stepping stone but it must be taken to get to the ultimate goal. Take the Bulldogs and watch as they cover this game for you!!!!
2. Notre Dame -7.5 vs Navy
Navy has cracked the top 25, it always amazes me when army or navy get in the top 25. They run a very unique style of offense and a team of Notre Dames caliber should handle them no problem. They take this game easy in South Bend and continue the heater on I am!!
3. Iowa Hawkeyes vs Minnesota under 44.5
Both of these teams know how to play in cold weather conditions, this game will be in freezing temperatures at kickoff and will slow down the game by a lot. We see this as a close game with a lot of punts. Take the under and LFG!!!
4. Appalachian State -16.5 vs Georgia State
Appalachian state is a team that is known for their historic victory but they come into this game as a top dog especially in their conference. Georgia
state knows how to score but they have no defense, after a while they will make mistakes on offense and App State will take advantage and cover the spread!!
5. Alabama vs Mississippi state over 61
Alabama’s offense is a force to be wrecked with. They are 3rd in college football in points per game and they are looking to take that nearly 50 points per game average and crushing this over on Saturday LFG, take the over and watch as this game hits it with ease.
The Mechanics plays Raiders -10.5 v. Bengals
The Bengals have shown no interest in winning recently, just last week losing by
36 points at home! On the road, I doubt they will show up against a resurgent
Raiders team that are now in a playoff hunt. Carr and company are looking like
they’re on the same page now and the defense is starting to show some
cohesion. With Bengals’ sights now firmly set on the number one draft pick, I
expect a lackluster performance from the only winless team in the NFL. I know
It’s a lot of points, but I don’t think it will be close. Chiefs v. Chargers Over 52
Both teams can put up a lot of points and both can give up a lot. The Chiefs
were in a 67 point shootout last week, giving up 35 to a mediocre Titans team.
The Chargers still have hopes of making the playoffs and Rivers is always
capable of lighting up the scoreboard. Same goes for the Chiefs; especially if
Mahomes plays. Both teams have been inconsistent, which is why I not picking
either one to win, but I believe there is a good chance this is a high scoring affair.
Cowboys -3.5 v. Lions
The Cowboys lost at home last week in a game they should have won. Some
bad play calling was to blame and against a Lions team that couldn’t beat a bad
Bears team last week, the Boys should get back on the winning track. After a
stinker versus the Jets, Dallas bounced back to easily beat the Eagles and Giants.
I see a similar effort this Sunday and think they win this one going away. Texans v Ravens Over 49.5
I see both offenses putting up a lot of points. Both teams can score at will but
they both often give up a lot. They are also both on top of their divisions
and
will have no chance of not putting up points to stay there. Only question is
which defense will show up. Only if they both do could this not be an over.
Dolphins +6 v. Bills
The Dolphins have covered 5 in a row after a miserable start to the season.
Getting 10 last week on the road they beat the Colts outright. The disrespect
from Vegas continues with them getting almost a touchdown at home against a
division rival. I am going to continue to ride the Fish until they give me a reason
to stop. The Bills have come back to earth and lost to the Browns last week.
Last month, the Fish covered the points in Buffalo and I look for them to keep
this close Sunday in Miami. The Professors picks
