Want To Lose Some Money This Weekend? (In Other Words, Who Will TheBostonInsider Be Betting On This Weekend)

Considering that so far on the season my gambling losses are under $100 dollars, the time has come for me to dispense some "advice" to you fellas who are losing money every weekend on college football, the NFL or both. In NCAA action, a few games stand out. First off, I like a three-team tease (getting 9 points per team) with Notre Dame, Nebraska and Indiana. That would make the Irish -- a 3-point underdog at Purdue -- a 12-point 'dog, Nebraska would go from a 3.5 favorite in Lincoln versus Iowa State to a 6.5-point underdog and the Hoosiers, getting 17.5 at Wisconsin, would drop to a 26.5 'dog. Put me down for $50. Other NCAA teams I like are Bowling Green (+28) at home against hapless Temple, Utah (-3.5) at North Carolina, Maryland (-3.5) at home facing Virginia and Pittsburgh (-1) over Rutgers in New Jersey in what will be the showcase of bad college football this fall. As for the professionals, take the Patriots (+6) at home against San Diego. The Chargers are coming cross-country and will be facing the wounded Pats who are always at their best when things look their worst. Tennessee, getting 7-points at home, will upset Indianapolis. San Francisco (-3) will take Arizona on the ESPN Sunday Night game, played in Mexico City. Finally, in a two-team tease (getting 6-points per team), take the visiting Eagles from -2.5 to -8.5 against the Chiefs and Baltimore from +7 at home to +1 over the struggling Jets. (Remember that I am not a successful gambler while making your picks.)
