Snade’s Sicko Picks of the Week (10/12/23)

In order to break-even in sports betting you only have to win 42.5% of your bets (assuming all bets use the same units). The Gameday Journal crew is all collectively at 42.6% or higher! If you ain’t been tailing, then what are you waiting for!? Into the Sicko Picks we go!

JMU -5.5 (-112) vs. Georgia Southern

There are A LOT of great games this weekend in the college football world! JMU is the most disrespected team in the FBS and it is a damn shame that NCAA is screwing them over because they would very likely be the G5 rep in the NY6 this year and could have been last year too; or at least the Sun Belt champs. They’ll cover.

Troy -4.5 (-104) @ Army

This could be such a slugfest or a snoozefest. I think no matter how it goes though, Troy’s defense will make enough stops to cover this game.

Ohio -6.5 @ NIU

Ohio is one of the three actual good teams in the MAC. NIU is not. For most MAC games I like to not think about it too much… unless it is MACtion then that’s a different ball game. This isn’t though, so I think we’ll be okay.

Wyoming +10.5 (-115) @ Air Force

Wyoming is a team that you rebuild in NCAA 14 and turn them into a 5x national champ in dynasty mode. We should all be riding with Wyoming. I almost like them at +300 ML for the culture, but I do think this game will be very close.

Marshall -102 ML @ Georgia State

I just think Marshall is the more complete team. This game will be close but at a 1.5-point spread you might as well just take the ML for the value. I think RB Rasheen Ali has a chance to just crush the souls of the Panthers.

San Diego State @ Hawaii U53.5

SDSU is the Iowa of the G5. They like to win games ugly behind a stellar defense. I do not know who will win but the first one to 24 wins this game.
