Gary “The Gut” Goombah’s Week 7 Selections
NCAA Selections (All selections are ATS. All point spreads are from Friday’s Chicago Sun-Times)
Game of the Week: Ohio State Buckeyes (-3.5) over Indiana Hoosiers – The Buckeyes want revenge. They should get it on Saturday in Bloomington, IN. The Hoosiers are simply not as good as they were last year. So far, they’ve been hanging on to their undefeated status, yet the Bucks come into town with another outstanding team. PICK: Ohio St.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-10.5) over BYU Cougars – Is Brigham Young as good as it seems?! They might be. However, the Irish are as good as anyone. Gary feels that ND will come out and dominate the Cougs. PICK: Notre Dame
West Virginia Mountaineers (-1.5) over Cincinnati Bearcats
LSU Tigers (-15.5) over Mississippi St. Bulldogs – The line has really gone up since Miss St.’s QB Kamario Taylor started looking more and more doubtful to play as the week has progressed. If you can get a good spread, Gary says hit on LSU at home. PICK: LSU
Texas Tech Red Raiders (-15.5) over Arizona St. Sun Devils – I’ve watched ASU a bunch this season and I don’t think they’re very good. Gary agrees, so he’s taking my advice and selecting T-Tech this week. PICK: Texas Tech
Missouri Tigers (+5.5) over Ole Miss Rebels
Oklahoma Sooners (-6.5) over Kentucky Wildcats
Alabama Crimson Tide (-7.5) over Tennessee Volunteers
Gary’s Lucky NFL Selections
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+2.5) over Pittsburgh Steelers
Houston Texans (+2.5) over Jacksonville Jaguars
Kansas City Chiefs (-7.5) over Los Angeles Chargers
San Francisco 49ers (-7.5) over Washington Redskins/Football Team/Commanders
Last week’s 7-4 record was an awesome performance. Can Gary do it again? “The Gut” has 12 selections for us this weekend (8 college, 4 pro). So take his advice and go big! ….. or go home.
