00:00Alright, so last week I was 4-2, I am 50-38-1 on the season.
00:07My shooting the boot has been below par, 7-9 in the year of shooting the boot.
00:10However, my NFL record, pretty freaking stellar at 30-14-1 if I may say so myself.
00:18These games of course are against the spread.
00:19I will start with college football.
00:22USC and Texas A&M are going to do battle in the Las Vegas Bowl.
00:27USC is getting points, they're getting three against the Aggies.
00:31I don't know why I'm doing this, this is more hunched than anything else.
00:34I know that USC has lost some players, but they've moved on as well.
00:39And last year they did the same thing and Miller Moss emerged as this great quarterback
00:43guy that they had, he threw for like 400 yards in their bowl game last year.
00:49I think the same thing can happen this year with Miller Moss moving on, somebody else
00:52steps in.
00:54USC plus the three against Texas A&M, also Big Ten versus SEC matchups, I like that.
01:01North Carolina giving up two and a half points against UConn in the Fenway Bowl.
01:07UConn has perennially been one of the worst teams in college football, however they actually
01:11got themselves bowl eligible here and they're taking on North Carolina.
01:16I still like Carolina, there's a lot of buzz with Bill Belichick taking over the program,
01:20though he's not going to take over the team for this game, but the minus two and a half
01:24points I think is manageable for North Carolina, I think they're better than what the record
01:28showed this year, although look, there's plenty of players that are going to opt out, plenty
01:32of players have decided to stay though because of Bill Belichick, I like North Carolina minus
01:36two and a half against UConn.
01:38College football outside of the college football playoff games is awfully hard to predict because
01:43you don't know who's going to play.
01:45And that takes us to Colorado and BYU and the Alamo Bowl.
01:49I mentioned earlier, Colorado took out insurance policies for star players, Shadur Sanders,
01:55the quarterback and Travis Hunter, the two-way player who won the Heisman Trophy.
02:02And they're only giving up three and a half points in this battle against BYU.
02:06BYU is a pretty good football team, but I like the fact that these guys are coming back
02:11to play in this bowl game, their final game at Colorado, I think it's going to give them
02:16an inspirational lift.
02:18Colorado minus three and a half, that's my pick.
02:20Shifting gears to the NFL, start off with the Chargers at New England.
02:27Los Angeles is giving up four and a half points to the Patriots.
02:30I recognize this game is being played cross country and that usually plays a role, but
02:35it is New England and with just two games left in the season, I feel like the Patriots
02:39maybe wouldn't mind if they lost the game just to, you know, improve their draft standing.
02:44I like the Chargers minus four and a half in this case.
02:46Same can be said for the Giants who are hosting the Indianapolis Colts, although this one
02:52I like the total.
02:53The over-under set at 40 and a half.
02:57The Colts have been a team that's put up some points and in games they played in the last
03:00five, that total has been well over 40 and a half.
03:04The Giants have a couple of games as well where they've been able to do that.
03:06Combine these two teams together and I think getting to 40 and a half points, I could see
03:11that happening.
03:12I like the over in that game.
03:14And finally, the Atlanta Falcons will take their talents to Washington to take on the
03:20commanders.
03:22Washington is giving up four points in this game.
03:25I like Washington.
03:26I think there's superior in talent, Atlanta, you're going to get your second start from
03:29Michael Penix.
03:30I think the commanders will throw a lot at you.
03:32They've got a pretty good defense and I'm not sure that Penix is ready for that.
03:36It's only four points.
03:37It's not even a touchdown spread.
03:39I like the commanders minus four against Atlanta.
03:42It is my shoot the boot lock of the week.
03:46Take it for what it is.
03:47These are my picks.
03:49I don't feel strongly about the college game again because these aren't the college football
03:53playoff games.
03:54We don't get a chance to do if I bet it, but next week when those games take place, we
03:58will certainly talk about a handicap.
04:00Those games much easier to do because those are defined rosters.
04:03These rosters here, not defined transfer portal hell is what's taking place there.
04:09But the pro games, I like the pro picks.
04:11We'll talk more sports with you next year.
