Where Griff was WRONG in Week 6:
South Carolina at Florida -12.5 – “This number is too low. South Carolina is in crisis mode…Florida wins this one with ease.” – South Carolina won 38-19.
Illinois at Michigan State UNDER 47.5 – “This game is going to SUCK. Do not watch. Just bet and win.” – Illinois won 38-37 in OT.
Where Griff was RIGHT in Week 7:
Charlotte at North Texas -28.5 – “Charlotte can’t score (11 ppg vs FBS opponents) and they lost to The Citadel. Remember that team you would play Week 1 in Dynasty Mode of any CFB game growing up? Charlotte lost to that team. North Texas averages 46 ppg vs teams not named Indiana University. They beat Charlotte last year by 34 points.” – North Texas won 50-10.
UCLA 1Q +3.5 at Oregon – “I think this is similar to Indiana-Ohio State in 2024. OSU is 10x better than Oregon in this scenario, but the vibes are the same...Maybe they pull off an upset. Maybe they flounder in the second half. But they will keep it close in Q1.” – Oregon lead 6-3 after Q1. JMUCLA won 17-15.
BONUS: Georgia 2H +1.5 at Alabama – “How psychotic is this? In the three games between these two schools with Kirby and Kalen coaching, Georgia has outscored Bama 48-18 in the second half. They’ve won the 2H moneyline each game.” – UGA won the second half 10-3.
Last week: 12-5 / 2026 record: 52-42-1 / Since 2022: 422-396-11
Dominic Toretto’s “Take it or leave it” Pick of the Week (2026: 3-4 / Overall: 25-27-1): Washington State at Oregon State -18.5 – We’re betting on the Beavers until further notice. 6-0 ATS. Washington State’s offense isn’t good enough to keep up (111 points in six (6) games and 48 of those were against Duquesne).
Northwestern -7.5 at Michigan State – I just think Vegas is begging us to take MSU with this line. Revenge game for Pat Fitzgerald. At home on a Friday night. Northwestern has looked almost too good. This line is way too good to be true.
Florida at Texas -10.5 – I hate this pick because I don’t trust Arch. But I think Florida is who we think they are (frauds) and Texas is who we know they are (not legit contenders but head-and-shoulders better than Florida). UF has given up no less than 28 points to their four (4) P4 opponents, including 83 the last two (2) weeks while scoring only 36 points vs Mizzou and South Carolina. The running back Baugh for Florida only has 72 yards his last two (2) games. I think they peaked vs Ole Miss.
Georgia State at James Madison UNDER 58.5 – Georgia State has not given up more than 17 points to a non-P4 school (they lost 44-30 at UCF). They’re also 5-0 ATS. JMU is 5-1 ATS and they’re giving up 15 ppg. This is an important conference game. Both teams are really good (respectively) and I think they do whatever they can to win, even if it means extending drives and playing more conservative.
UC at West Virginia OVER 63.5 – Fellas (and Mrs. Prifti), we’re betting WVU OVERs. It’s as simple as that. Mountaineers are 6-0 to the OVER this year.
Florida Atlantic at Army -2.5 – Army should not be favored, so that’s why we’re picking them. FAU is 4-1 ATS and SU. They’ve already beaten Navy this year (38-30). Army is just 1-3-1 ATS. They’ve had a hard time scoring (64th in the nation). They’re begging us to take FAU. Don’t do it.
Rutgers +6 at Maryland – There’s just no reason for Maryland to be favored by this much. Yes, Rutgers is bad (1-4 SU/2-3 ATS). Maryland (2-4 SU/3-3 ATS) may be worse. This should be -3 just cause Maryland is the home team. Rutgers is at least coming off a bye.
Alabama -8.5 at Tennessee – I’m just using my common sense for this one. Bama has consistently looked like one of the best teams in the country, and still showed it vs Georgia. Tennessee only beat Auburn by 10 and Arkansas by 7 (scored the GW TD with two (2) minutes left in the game). They’re on their second string QB. I just know that Bama is the much better team.
Penn State at Michigan UNDER 42.5 – Again, we know who these teams are. Michigan is averaging 16 ppg vs teams not named UTEP. PSU is averaging 19 ppg in B1G games. This will be a close game, not a fun one.
Mizzou at Ole Miss -6 – Let’s keep using our brains to the fullest capacity. Mizzou being ranked #13 is blasphemous. We have been bamboozled, hoodwinked, and led astray by the Tigers. They beat the hell out of Florida (frauds) and Texas A&M (coach is fighting with the media). They’ve also beaten Troy, Kansas and Arkansas Pine Bluff. Ole Miss’ only miscue came in the most obvious letdown spot at Florida. They had a bye then came back and beat the crap out of Vandy. Kewan Lacy played last week. The defense may give up some points, but don’t overthink who will win this game.
Florida State at Miami (FL) OVER 56.5 – We know what Miami can do on offense but the best team they’ve played is Wake Forest (33-20 W for Miami). The Canes are coming off a bye week. FSU can score (31 ppg). Florida State is not a good team, so I think we should be fine here.
Nevada at North Dakota State UNDER 42.5 – We caught onto the NDSU UNDERs last week and we’re back at it. They are 5-1 to the UNDERs this season (all five (5) of those games did not eclipse 42 total points). Their defense is 1st in the nation in passing yards allowed, 2nd in points allowed and 7th in yards per play. Nevada’s offense is 124th in passing yards, 78th in points scored and 75th in yards per play.
TCU at Baylor -5.5 – People will look to TCU’s defense as a reason to take the points (13 ppg allowed). But they haven’t played many good offenses (BYU w/o LJ Martin, Arkasnas St, Grambling and North Carolina in Week 1). Baylor has won four (4) straight since losing on the failed 2pt conversion against Auburn in the opener. They’re averaging 40 ppg in that span.
Notre Dame -10.5 at BYU – BYU is the obvious pick here with the spread that high. This isn’t my first rodeo, though. Without LJ Martin, Bear Bachmeier is the offense. ND’s defense is good enough to know that and limit him. I hope this is a good game, but I know it won’t be.
Wisconsin at UCLA UNDER 42.5 – When the Badgers have 14 days of rest under Fickell (since 2023), their games are 4-1 to the UNDER. Those five (5) games average on O/U of 46 points. The game should be close with a spread of 2.5. UCLA will lean on Wayne Knight with Nico out for the year. Fickell maybe has his groove back and has been studying tape for two (2) weeks.
Kentucky +6.5 at Oklahoma – I just don’t trust John Mateer. This could be a good UNDER game (43.5) but I’ve taken too many UNDERs already.
Oklahoma State at Houston OVER 62.5 – OSU has gone OVER this total in three (3) games. The other two (2) were Week 1 and a 59-0 win against Murray State. Houston is 4-2 to the OVER this year. Mestemake vs Weigman. I think we got a shootout on our hands.
Utah -15.5 at Colorado – The writing is on the wall for Coach Prime. Just 27 total points of offense the last three (3) games. 1-4 ATS. Utah is 5-0 ATS. The Utes are clearly the better team.

*the following is verbatim*
Mouth Watering Pick of the Week (2026: 2-4 / Overall: 22-25-1): Kentucky at Oklahoma -6.5 – Nobody is higher on Will Stein than I am but I think Oklahoma is too talented. Let’s be honest, LSU and Texas A&M stink. Think the bye came at the perfect time for Oklahoma. I think they will play better football the rest of the way in.
Auburn at Georgia -21 – Belt to ass. Georgia rolls and claims the title of Alabama state champs.
Alabama at Tennessee +7.5 – Tough place to play. Tide are banged up. Big rivalry. I like this one to stay close.

Fulham v. Hull Over 2.5 (-138)
Just need to get back on track. Hull started the season hot but has cooled off lately, and Fulham loves giving away late goals. My stat for this one: Fulham has put up close to 7 expected goals over their last 3 home games, and the over has hit in Hull’s last 3 (thanks AI?). If Fulham can actually FINISH, this over should hit easily.
