Gary “The Gut” Goombah’s Week 4 Selections
Howard Bison (+43.5) over Rutgers Scarlet Knights – Rutgers is so bad. Gary can’t see them beating anyone by 44 points. He’s been wrong on these type of underdogs before though. Remember the Virginia Tech wipeout of VMI back in Week 1? Pick: Howard

Indiana Hoosiers (-21) over Northwestern Wildcats
Texas Longhorns (-5.5) over Tennessee Volunteers
UCLA (-1.5) over Maryland Terrapins
Alabama Crimson Tide (-12.5) over South Carolina Gamecocks
Arizona Wildcats (-10) over Washington St. Cougars
Game of the Week: USC Trojans (+3) over Oregon Ducks – This is a Marc Lawrence special. We’ve referenced Marc Lawrence over the years. This guy is a gambling Hall of Famer. He publishes a football preview magazine each season, with all the data, the numbers, the trends, and his gambling advice. Gary believes in Marc. Marc clearly told us to “Play On vs Oregon if they are an underdog”. Gary agrees. PICK: USC
