Gary’s Week 8 Selections
NCAA Selections
Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-11.5) over Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Nebraska Cornhuskers (+6.5) over Indiana Hoosiers – Gary is attending Fox Big Noon’s Game of the Week, live from Bloomington, Indiana! Like the Dutch Lion and son, Gary thinks the ‘Huskers can rise up and upset the 16th ranked Hoosiers, giving Nebraska it’s first win against a ranked opponent in 26 tries, dating all the way back to 2016 (Oregon). Just stupid when you analyze it. PICK: Nebraska
James Madison Dukes (-9.5) over Georgia Southern Eagles
Texas Tech Red Raiders (-6.5) over Baylor Bears
SMU Mustangs (-14.5) over Stanford Cardinal
Tennessee Volunteers (+2.5) over Alabama Crimson Tide
Gary’s “Pick 6” NFL Selections
Detroit Lions (+2.5) over Minnesota Vikings – The Vikes are not THIS good….are they? PICK: Detroit
Houston Texans (+2.5) over Green Bay Packers
Philadelphia Eagles (-3) over N.Y. Giants – Like last week, we’re going with Marc Lawrence’s preseason pick from his “Playbook” Magazine. Agreed with Marc! PICK: Philadelphia
N.Y. Jets (+1.5) over Pittsburgh Steelers – The Jets are too good to be struggling. They have talent. Now that HC Saleh is gone, maybe they will be refreshed. PICK: Jets
San Francisco 49ers (-1) over Kansas City Chiefs – The Chiefs have “scraped by” to an undefeated record. It all ends here. PICK: San Francisco
Buffalo Bills (-8) over Tennessee Titans
Thank you once again to Marc Lawrence’s Playbook Magazine for expert advice. Gary loves Marc, except for his cover choice this year, a boogery Andy Reid.
