What @EdgySam Gave His #Cleeps: Bonus #Pick for 8:00p.m.

Here are the Thanksgiving and Black Friday picks given to my cleeps:

TCU over Texas: Longhorns got their bowl eligibility prior week. Not as pumped as Horned Frogs
TCU under: Didn't see game, but, was told a dead under game. Oh well.
LSU over A&M: Tigers and Miles good in road fav role, and thought they'd come back from 2 consecutive losses.
LSU game over: A&M D horrible on defense, good on offense. Thought it was good combo. Not!

Missouri over Arkansas: Higher rated team getting points. Had to take Tigers for that reason.

Arizona over ASU: Again much higher rated team under my College Edge ratings only a 1-,2- pt. favorite. Also, liked the revenge and home factors.

UCLA over Stanford: Just didn't feel Cardinal had enough to keep up with Bruins.

CSU 1/2 unit over Air Force: QB Pearson out for Air Force and thought CSU would run successfully vs. the Falcons.

Virginia vs. Virginia Tech under: Both starting QBs playing sub-par vs. very strong defenses. Neither running attack, in my opinion, can make up any kind of difference in ineptness of pass offenses..

@EdgySam: #Ohio @ #MiamiOhio, #ThePick!

While researching tonight's Ohio - Miami contest, I was impressed with the fact Redhawks have not seemed to give up on the season. They only have 2 wins,  but, they have hung in there on almost every loss, and that includes games vs. Marshall, Cincinnati and every MAC opponent.
The main reasons are probably the seemingly good job new coach Chuck Martin has turned in, and the play of Notre Dame transfer, and the #12 rated QB of his HS class, Andrew Hendrix.
Look Ohio needs this game to become bowl eligible, but, I have Miami as the higher rated team in this MAC rivalry game. In other words, the higher rated team under my College Edge rating system is getting points. I can't pass up that opportunity.
I gave out the Miami Redhawks to my loyal cleeps.

Still time to sign up for my regular season offer, and, it includes my second favorite college football day of the year, Black Friday. You can sign up right on this page.

If you'd rather wait for my College Bowl Offer, it's one of the fairest you will ever see. It includes a refund if I don't hit a certain percentage of my plays. Thank You.

@EdgySam: #SanJoseState vs. #UtahState, #The(Bonus)Picks

#SanJoseState goes into this game with a question at QB. With QB Gray, the Spartans will have a tough night vs. one of the most formidable defenses in the country in Utah St. Without Gray, and total inexperience at the QB position, I don't see how SJSU moves the ball at all tonight.
Offensively, Utah St. is by no means a juggernaut, even though they've been getting decent QB play from their 4th string QB. The Spartans play pretty good defense.In fact, the strongest unit on the field for the road team is probably the pass defense.

I don't see how SJSU can keep up tonight offensively vs. a very good defensive squad, and, it doesn't hurt that the Spartans are traveling to a cold weather site.
Take Utah St.

Don't see how SJSU will score with a hurting QB position. Considering Spartans plays decent defense, take the under in the same game.

You still have time to sign up for my regular season offer. It's only $40.00 and will include my second favorite college football day of the year, Black Friday, and all of the upcoming conference tournament games.

Also, stay tuned for my very unique College Bowl Offer. It involves an almost 100% refund if I don't hit a very fair percentage of my bowl picks.

@EdgySam: #KSU vs #WestVirginia, My #Pick Was...

I'm going against one of my favorite coaches of all time, but, my College Edge ratings tell me West Virginia should be around a 7-pt. favorite in the game. Except for the letdown loss to Texas, Mountaineers have played everyone on the schedule tough, particularly Baylor and TCU.
I like WVa QB Trickett, I like that the Mountaineers are home, and, I totally expect the home team to respond to their recent losses.
I gave out West Virginia to my cleeps.

@EdgySam:#BowlingGreen vs.#Toledo, #TheBonusPick

#BowlingGreen has the better defense in their MAC battle with Toledo. The Mud Hens have injury problems at QB. Toledo does have a strong running game and is playing home, but, in my opinion, the spread in this game is too high.
Take Bowling Green.

If you'd like to sign up for the rest of the regular season, what the heck, I'm only charging $40.00! That's less than what reputable handicappers like those at the Gold Sheet charge for one stinking day. And, I'd measure my results with anyone from the Gold Sheet or any other service.

If you'd like to wait for my Bowl Offer, know that it's one of the most unique offer of its kind. I offer an almost 100% refund if I don't hit a certain percentage. Stay tuned. Hope you'll use this page to sign up.

Thanks. Sam

@EdgySam Reviews His Saturday Picks for his #Cleeps

Here are the picks I gave to my cleeps this past Saturday. It was a nice day. I went 7-3.

North Carolina - Pitt over: TarHeels have horrible defense, but, very good offense. Nice combo for over.

South Carolina - Florida over: Gamecocks defense has been surprisingly bad this year. Their offense has still been pretty good. Nice combo for over. Not in this game.

Air Force - Nevada over: Recent history of high scoring games here. Figured Falcons would move their option vs. Nevada. Figured QB Fajardo would move ball vs. the Force.

Northwestern: Disappointing team, but, their returning starters made them dangerous, and thought spread was too high.

Arizona - Washington game over: just thought defenses weren't up to task vs. good offenses.

Mississippi State: I had them rated higher than Alabama under my college edge ratings. I think Bulldogs might be able to beat Crimson Tide on neutral field.

Georgia: Let down on Auburn's part, and, still feel Bulldogs are a very dangerous team.

Missouri: I had them rated them higher than Texas A&M under my college edge ratings.

Miami: I had Hurricanes rated higher than FSU under my college edge ratings. Oh well. Blown 16-pt lead.

Texas - Oklahoma St.: two sub-par, starting quarterbacks playing against decent to good defenses.

Still time to sign up for the balance of my regular season offer. Yo, it's only $40.00 and will include my second favorite college football day of the year: Black Friday!

If you can't bring yourself to sign up for the regular season, please consider signing up for my unique College Bowl Offer. It may be the fairest one you will ever read.

@EdgySam: #ThePicks So Far Today. Four More Coming!

Here are the plays I gave to my cleeps: North Carolina game over; South Carolina over; Air Force game over; Northwestern; Arizona game over; Mississippi State.

I will have 4 plays for my cleeps tonight.

If you'd like to sign up for the balance of the regular season, crap, I only charge $40.00. I hope you'll consider it. I feel good. Join me.

If you want to wait for my Bowl Offer, it is one of the fairest you will ever see. Stay tuned! Stay tuned! Thanks.

@EdgySam: #EastCarolina vs #Cincy & #California vs #USC, #THEPICKS

I had Cincy rated higher than East Carolina and they came into their AAC home game as an underdog.
I gave out Cincy to my loyal cleeps.

I gave out USC over Cal to my cleeps. I like Cal's offense, but, have big questions about their defense. I think the Trojans are well balanced on both offense and defense. It doesn't hurt that USC is the home team and comes off a bye.

@EdgySam: #KentState vs.#BowlingGreen & #BallState vs.#UMass

Ball St has played the tougher MAC schedule to date as compared to UMass; I have the Falcons rated higher than UMass under one of my rating sysyems; HC Lembo has been very good in road dog spots(8-3 coming into '14).
I gave out Ball St to my cleeps.
In the other MAC game tonight(have I written how much I like these weekday MAC games?), I'm counting on Bowling Green needing this game to stay in contention in the Eastern division of the conference, while also counting on Kent St. not having enough weapons to keep up. It doesn't hurt that the Falcons are home for this important matchup.
I gave out Bowling Green to my cleeps.

If you'd like, there is still time to sign up for my regular season offer. I'd be grateful if you did so.
If not, stay tuned for what I consider to be one of the fairest Bowl Season offers you will ever see.

@EdgySam: #Akron/ #Buffalo & #Toledo/ #NoIllinois, #THEPICKS

I had the #Buffalo #Bulls rated almost even with Akron in tonight's MAC contest. I would normally have given out the New York team tonight, but, after last week's sorry-a-- performance vs. Ohio, there is no way I could give out the Bulls. Their HC of five years, Jeff Quinn, was fired in mid-season, and the question has to be asked: why should Buffalo show up in tonight's game vs. Akron?

In the Toledo vs. Northern Illinois game, I asked my cleeps to tune in for the very start of airing of this ESPN contest. My instructions were as follows: if Toledo's QB Woodside, the 2nd stringer who took over after the injury of starter Ely, was out with an injury, take Northern Illinois in a 1/2 unit play.
If Woodside were to play, my instructions were to stay away from the game. It was my opinion that in that circumstance Northern Illinois and Toledo were very evenly matched and not worthy of a recommendation.
It turned out QB Woodside was out for the game, freshman Julian got the start at QB, and I did recommend a 1/2 unit play on Northern Illinois!

@EdgySam: #NotreDame/#ASU, #ThePick for the #Cleeps

I keep going back to the well, but, I continue to think Arizona State is one of the most overrated teams in the country. I am paying for that opinion. I went against them vs. Stanford and Washington, and I lost both times.
I continue to see a Sun Devil team that has a new QB this year, who's played ok, and who has replaced a very good Taylor Kelly(injured early in the year), and a defense that returns a grand total of 1.5 starters from '13.
Ironically, I'm taking a Notre Dame team that I also believe is overrated, but, with the positive play of QB Golson, and an impressive showing on the road vs. FSU, I like the road team in this important matchup( HC Kelly an impressive 15-7 over the years as a road dog).
I gave out Notre Dame in a 1/2 unit play to my cleeps.

@EdgySam: #Memphis at #Temple, #ThePick to my #Cleeps

I won't get into this too deeply because I'm picking against my alma mater.
I gave out to my cleeps the very improved Memphis in a 1-unit play.

@EdgySam: #Clemson vs. #WakeForest, #THEPICK

How the heck did Clemson vs. Wake Forest get prime time on ESPN?
In the preseason, I wrote that the Demon Deacons might be the worst team of any of the major conferences. I'm not sure I feel any differently tonight. They can't rush the ball. They can't pass the ball. They don't play good defense vs. the run. They have, on occasion, played decent pass defense.
I wanted to give out Clemson as a recommendation to my cleeps, but, the Tiger offense hasn't been much to write about either, and I was hesitant about giving 21 points on the road.
I don't see Wake Forest scoring more than 7-10 points tonight, but, I still was fearful that the 42 point total for the game was a little low, considering how bad the Demon Deacons defense could be.
For my cleeps, I recommended having fun with the game and invest small amounts on Clemson and the under in the game.
If you haven't signed up for the balance of the regular season, I'd be grateful if you considered doing so. You can sign up right here at my blogging address.
If not, follow me, learn a little about how I try to conduct my business and consider joining up for my Bowl Offer. It's different than most other offers you'll see. Thanks

@EdgySam: #Buffalo vs #Ohio; #NorthernIllinois vs #BallSt, #ThePicks

Like #Akron last night, not sure why #Ohio is favored by this much tonight. They've lost to C.Mich, B.Green and Western Mich by scores of 10-28, 13-31, and 21-42, respectively, and beat Akron by the slin score of 23-20.
Buffalo has the better QB by far in Licata, an emerging MAC star in RB Taylor and the all-important, experienced O-line(4.5 starters back from '13).
Gave out Buffalo to my cleeps as a 1-unit play.

In the other MAC game, EdgySam just doesn't see the offensive weapons for either Northern Illinois or Ball St to warrant this high as totals line for this contest.
Gave out the under to my cleeps in this as a 1/2 unit play.

@EdgySam: #BowlingGreen vs #Akron/ #Toledo vs #KentSt, #ThePicks

Not sure why totals in #BowlingGreen vs. #Akron game is so high. The Zips cannot be described as dynamic offensively, and Bowling Green is without its stellar QB from '13, Matt Johnson( he's out for year with an injury). Both defenses are good, if not stellar, so just think present totals too high.
EdgySam gave out the under in Bowling Green vs. Akron contest.

In the Toledo vs. Kent St. contest, another situation where I just don't see how KSU can keep up with the Rockets pretty high-powered offense. They've shown little offensive ability in moving the ball either on the ground or through the air. EdgySam gave out Toledo to his cleeps.

I also recommended a fun, non-recommendation parlay on Bowling Green and the over in the Toledo/KSU game.

If you didn't sign up for the rest of the regular season, feel free to do so at any time. Also, follow me the rest of the way. Maybe you'll be impressed by how I conduct my business and consider signing up for my Bowl Season Offer. It's a very different kind of Bowl Offer!
