Week 14: Here we go

Overall record: 30-31-3 

It's not been good... but I feel a good week coming up before conference championship games.  We're gonna knock this one out.

1. Florida (+7.5) @ Florida St
Saturday 2:30pm CT  |  ESPN
 

Florida St just can't put teams away, and Florida just looks like a much more confident team with Harris at QB.  Not to mention, this is Coach Boom's last game, and these kids would love nothing more than to send him out a winner.  I don't know that they'll win, but after watching FSU struggle against Boston College last week.. and basically everybody before that, I like this one to stay within a touchdown.

2. Colorado St (-7) @ Air Force
Friday 2:30pm CT  |  CBSSN

Jim McElwain has this thing just absolutely rolling at Colorado St.  They are 10-1 on the year so far, and if they can get Boise beat, they would win the MWC outright.  They've still got a shot at one of the big bowls in the CFP pecking order, so I don't look for them to slow down here.  Air Force has been good, but they got rolled at San Diego St last week 30-14, and I think Colo St is better than SDSU.  I look for about a 10 point win here.  34-24ish

3. TCU @ Texas (+7)

Thursday 6:30pm CT  |  FS1

TCU looked baaaaad against Kansas. And Texas looks good.  The game's in Austin, on Thanksgiving, and I think the pressure of the playoff is getting to TCU.  Texas has been a lot better recently, and I think they could pull this one out.


4. Arkansas @ Missouri (+105)

Friday 1:30pm CT  |  CBS


Arkansas has been killin folks 3 of the last 4 games - 45-17 over an improved UAB, a 17-10 loss at Mississippi St, a 17-0 win over LSU, and a 30-0 win over Ole Miss.  However, Missouri finds a way to win football games and, while I don't want to bet against the Hogs, this game is in Mizzou, and if the Tigers win, they're going to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game.  I think Gary Pinkel will have his kids ready to play, and they'll find a way to make the right play at the right time to win this game at the end.

Here are my last 2 weeks' bets.  Absolutely putrid.
