While most of you are snuggled up with your spouses/slampieces/pets/inflatable Santa fetish dolls, 33% of the Dirty Picks staff is up researching college football bangers to win you some Crimmus money! That's right, college football conference championship week is upon us and I think it's about time DP gets involved in the is playoff debacle. Now don't get me wrong, the college playoff is a great idea. Not only has the top 4 discussion been fun this year, but at the end of the season, we're finally going to end up with a winner! I know what ya'll are thinking, "But there's a winner every year!" NO! That's wrong! Every year we have someone play in the BCS Title game and at the end of the day we crown them as #1, based on polls and votes and some other communist shit. But what was the point of playing all the games? I mean, basically teams played games which we would then allow us to argue about who the better winner was! This year, there is at least a false sense of a rightful champion and I am happy with that. So let's hop into it and make some gambling predictions for Saturday ball.
Iowa St. (+35) @ TCU
I really like TCU! They have an exciting QB, a smart coach and they don't play defense! Plus they have a very original mascot and color scheme! Now this isn't a conference championship game, so let's not get all excited about the big spread. Iowa St. suckz this year due to injuries and just being Iowa St. They are allowing almost 20 more points than they are scoring and really don't have a shot in this game. BUT, the committee voted the Horny Toadz into the title game (ahead of the defending national champs) and for that reason alone, I think the the Thundercatz (that's Iowa St. right?) keep this one super close! What will the committee do if TCU only wins by 5?! That's right, it's way more fun to root for chaos. ROLL IT!
Florida St. (-4) at Georgia Tech
So here's a little issue. The gambling world has expanded with the internet. Now any hack group of super cool friends can get together and start a gambling blog with a questionable name and give out picks. We all can identify "trap games" and other suspicious spreads. Last night, it was the Cavs getting points against the Raptors. When Bobby Catz saw that spread he rolled it immediately! Why? Because of all the reverse psychology in gambling now (I don't know this, we just talked about it). You see, the public is so in tune with gambling and the science of the spread now, that we think we can outsmart Vegas. No, that doesn't work. So while most folks are saying "Cavs getting points? Vegas is tricking us, go the other way" we are saying, "Cavs getting points? Vegas is tricking people into taking the Raps" and BOOOOOOOM! Catz gets another notch on the old NBA belt. Good for him. So today, the Noles are playing G Tech and EVERYONE is on Tech. I mean, Florida St. has sucked all year, barely won, hardly covers just got dropped to 4th in the playoff. Tech covers most of their spreads and could win this outright! Take #1 overall pick Jameis "Bering Sea Bandit" Winston and the best team in the country and you'll be happy.
