College football week 3 best bets part 1

Welcome to week 3 of college football.  Last week our picks went 6-6 leaving us juiced for the weekend.  Our season total is 14-11 which is 56% so we’ve still made some money but not as much after last weekend.  This week we have an exciting allotment of games on deck.  Below are our 2 picks for the Thursday/Friday games.  On Friday we will post our picks for the weekend games.

Thursday night:
North Texas -3 (buy the hook) home against Louisiana Tech.  This is the 3rd straight road game for LA Tech, which has to start having some kind of toll on this team.  North Texas is home for the 2nd week in a row, so advantage NT.  Last year North Texas won 28-13 on the road, although the game stats were closer than the score.  LA Tech is 0-4 in its last 4 Thursday games.  Meanwhile North Texas is 8-2 in last 10, 5-1 last 6 Thursday games, 6-1 last 7 conference and 8-1 last 9 at home. 

Friday Night:
Baylor -34.5 @ Buffalo.  Baylor offense is really really good, but we all know that.  Buffalo defense is really bad.  In last week’s blog we advised to take Army against Buffalo and backed that on the fact that Buffalo allowed 28 points to Duquesne, whom has only given scholarships to players for 2 years.  We were right on that as Army scored 47 points against Buffalo.  Read that again, Army scored 47 points!  Last year Baylor beat Buffalo 70-13 (starters pulled after 1 series in 3rd quarter), although that game was at home, that Buffalo team was better than this one.  Buffalo is 0-4 in last 4, 0-5-1 in last 6 Friday games and 1-5 in last 6 non-conference games.  Baylor is 6-1 in last 7 non-conference games and 24-8 in last 32 overall.  Baylor wins big.
