College and NFL Predictions

A little mix and match after a (1-2) week in the pros. Radio station WFAN’s Mike Francesa went (2-1) and is (11-6-1) for the year.

For the second straight week, the featured game on ABC/ESPN/Disney involves defending college champion Ohio State as a three touchdown or more favorite.

Last week Ohio State (7-0) and (2-5) vs the spread, broke a “spread” losing streak, by exceeding it as a three touchdown plus favorite vs Penn State.

This week viewers will be more likely to stay tuned. Ohio State 38 Rutgers 24.

Two pro picks, thefirst against my norm, a favorite, the underachieving Buffalo Bills to get it together overseas in London, England, winning (20-6) vs the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The (4-2) Arizona Cardinals are 8 and a half point favorites vs the Baltimore Ravens. I predict the game will end in a tie, not because I think it will (there is incredibly low probability that a tie will occur) but because the Ravens are a solid pick here to play the Cardinals to a standstill, and perhaps win.
