COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 8 GAMES – WITH POSSIBLE LOOK AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK 9 OPPONENT
TEAMS TO BE WARY THIS WEEK OF A POSSIBLE “LOOK AHEAD” TO NEXT WEEK’S GAME
Note: Teams this week playing weaker opponents (at times big Pointspread Favorites) with a huge game on deck next week. You must always be careful as many won’t show their full arsenal of plays saving them for the bigger game ahead. This week though is one of the lightest ones in terms of teams possibly peaking ahead to next week’s game and possible taking an opponent this week too lightly.
DATE. OCT. 19, 2022
1). CINCI BEARCATS: They do not have an easy game this week vs. SMU, but SMU is not playing well and next week they face Central Florida in a game that could decide the Conference Title (Regular Season).
2). NOTRE DAME: Huge (25) point Favorites this week vs. injury riddled UNLV team and at Home so easily distracted and on deck next week a very big game vs. a solid Syracuse team on the Road. It would be fully expected to not leave starters in late if up 3 TD’s and also normal not to show their hand with some possible “trick plays” they might use next week.
3). OHIO STATE: Laying just shy 30 points vs. an Iowa team that can’t score with Penn State on deck next week could cause a letdown in this spot as they will win at any score really they want if that was their full mission. Iowa does have the (#7) Defense in the nation so little dicey asking the Buckeyes to win by 30 or more with such a big road game next week.
NFL WEEK 7 GAMES – WITH POSSIBLE LOOK AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK 8 OPPONENT
1). BALTIMORE: Almost TD favorite this week but has Tampa Bay on deck and on Thursday night so could try to save the legs a little in this one vs. Cleveland.
2). GREEN BAY: Although not a TD favorite this week (still -4 1/2) vs. a lousy Commanders team and next week a gigantic game vs. Buffalo Bills/Josh Allen. This is as big a flat spot as you can get.
3). SAN FRAN NINERS: This add to this section was hard since they play @ KC on Sunday and you surely can’t look past the Chiefs. But it’s worth noting next week on deck sits their hated rival LA Rams.
4). CINCI BENGALS: Cinci here this week basically a TD favorite at Home vs. a weak Falcons team and next week on deck is a huge rivalry/needed Division game win vs. Cleveland.
