Fithian's Fab Five: College And NFL Best Bets
College Best Bets
Wisconsin +7 @ Ohio State: Buckeyes defense allows enough big plays to keep Badgers close.
Prediction Ohio State 30 Wisconsin 24
UConn +1 @ Buffalo: Huskies looked pretty good on National TV last week but the line has move in favor of Buffalo. I'll jump on the bandwagon.
Prediction Buffalo 35 UConn 28
Mississippi +16 @ Alabama: Ole Miss just enough offense to keep this one within the number.
Prediction Alabama 35 Ole Miss 21
NFL
Detroit -3 vs Chicago: Home field & offensive/defensive line play favors Lions. Creating turnovers and special teams goes to the visitors. This game looks like a push (can I buy a half point?) with the line.
Prediction Detroit 31 Chicago 30
Cleveland +4 vs Cincinnati: A wise man once said, "Take the home dog in the battle of the Ohio every single time you can."
Prediction: Cincinnati 21 Cleveland 20
Tennessee -3.5 vs Jets: Titans with too many play makers at home for the Jets to handle.
Prediction Tennessee 28 NY Jets 13
Season totals against the spread: Picking Michigan 4-0, Michigan State 2-2, Lions 2-1
College football best bets 2-3, NFL best bets 3-3
