NCAA Football: Betting locks for week 8

Well thank God that I publish this on Friday and I didn’t have a chance to encourage you to bet the farm on Coastal over App State. Cause I definitely didn’t do that. And by bet the farm I mean that I bet $9 instead of my usual $5.

2021 Records

GopherNation’s Lock of the week

Moving on to this week’s locks.

Texas Tech even over Kansas State

Truthfully, I know very little about these teams. Both are relatively even in terms of record and SOS so I’ll take the home team in an coin-flip game. Ultimately it comes down to the fact that Texas Tech is a productive passing offense while Kansas State ranks 8th in the Big 12 in passing defense.

Oregon +1 over UCLA

I’ve been hesitant the last couple weeks to take road teams but I’ll take the #10 Ducks to win this game. I’m not buying the Bruins quite yet.

UStreet’s Lock of the week

Cincinnati (-29.5) at Navy

The Bearcats have to play like a top ranked team. Navy is awful. Pick Cincy to cover.
