Picks: @BrandonKravitz Gives Out His 4 LOCKS of the NFL/CFB Weekend!

Locks of the Week

Record last week: 0-4.

On the year: 10-15

Letโ€™s turn this thing around like Bonnie Taylor (total eclipse reference)

1.Florida vs Georgia (-3.5) live from TIAA Bank

a.That feels like a lot of points for Georgia to give up when their offense is so blah and average. Stetson Bennett is ok, but nothing special. 55% of the bets are coming in on the Gators and I completely get whyโ€ฆpeople like betting on QBโ€™sโ€ฆbut lucky for you, my memory is a steel trap. Georgia has 3 RBโ€™s they use frequently, all averaging over 4.5 yards per carry, and you know what Florida canโ€™t do? Stop the run. Florida has to score early if they want to win this game, and thatโ€™s not easy to do against the top defense in the SEC. Remember, this team held Auburn to just 6 points a couple weeks ago. Florida fails to climb over the mountain once again, GA wins their 4th straight vs the Gatorsโ€ฆand weโ€™ll swallow the points in the process.

2.Ravens (-1.5) @ Colts

a.Are you kidding? No seriously, is this line real? Phillip Rivers and the Colts just put up 41 points on the Lions and the Ravens are coming off a lossโ€ฆover reaction city! Give me Baltimore all day. Both teams come in at 5-2, so on the surface, this looks like an even matchup, itโ€™s not. The Colts have had the easiest schedule in the NFL thus far according to PFF. Maybe outside of linebacker and o-line now that Ronnie Stanley is out, the Ravens are better at just about everything else on the football fieldโ€ฆand theyโ€™re coming off a loss. Lamar Jacksonโ€™s not losing 2 straight, and Rivers wonโ€™t be able to avoid the Ravens blitzโ€ฆtake the birds -1.5

3.Clemson @ Notre Dame (+5)

a.Easy money, DJ Uiagalelei not ready for this spot, he was barely ready for Boston College, and if BC hadnโ€™t looked in the mirror at halftime and realized who they wereโ€ฆthey wouldโ€™ve won that game. Notre Dame has a far superior defense and a QB who wonโ€™t turn the ball over. Ian Book 7 touchdowns, 1 INT on the season. Notre Dame not only covers the 5, they win the game, but weโ€™ll take the points for safe measure.

4.Seahawks @ Bills (+3)

a.The Bills wreak like one of those, โ€˜play to the level of your competitionโ€™ teams. Sleep walk through the Jets game, allow the Pats to hang around, get into a shootout with the Ramsโ€ฆlook, Iโ€™m not a believer in Buffalo, but this is a much bigger game for them than it is for Seattle. This is like their super bowl, and as great as Russell Wilson is, trees donโ€™t grow to the skyโ€ฆat some point this guy is going to have an off gameโ€ฆif it turns into a shootout, Buffalo can hangโ€ฆ67% of the bets are on seattle, the biggest public percentage college or proโ€ฆbuyer beware if you are betting the seahawksโ€ฆitโ€™s a sucker bet. And we are not suckers! Take the Bills, home dawgs, plus 3.

Good luck!
