So Iβm too afraid to go back and look but over the last two weeks, the picks Iβve given out have to be like 1-15 in this newsletter. Now, a lot of that is by design with longshot parlays. But even the βthis has to hitβ plays are losing because Penn State canβt gain three yards in seven tries against Illinois and their backup quarterback.
Me, drinking a lemonade Truly, watching that madness for 45 minutes:
The good news is Carter has been hitting at a decent rate. I guess miracles happen. As he would say, βIβm differentβ. Hereβs a grainy picture to commemorate his winning week:
But now we move on. Shooters shoot, bettors bet. I need to see the ball go through the net this week, but you better believe Iβm coming out gunning.
Expect a Carter Elliott edition of Catβs Picks before the weekend.

These are LOCKS but good luck finding them at a book.
Saturday:
Michigan State +4.5 vs. Michigan
Iβm sprinkling ML here too, just think itβs ridiculously good value. The home team getting 4 points when I think this is a total toss up. Not saying theyβll win, but itβs just way too good of odds not to bet it at home.
Iowa +3 at Wisconsin
Iβm sticking with my agenda that Wisconsin stinks. Iowa, despite the slip up to Purdue, should win that division. They have to win this game to do that.
Florida State +10.5 at Clemson
Clemson could be playing Lansing Catholic High School this week and Iβd take the 10.5 points. Too much drama, not enough good football. FSU can hang with teams (see them beating North Carolina by three scores).
