"Ain't gonna lie", I'm not playing What's My Line this week. Speaking of. "Ain't gonna lie" is what Indy QB Anthony Richardson said after another Dolts loss, after another atrocious performance by Richardson, after he subbed himself out for a play because, "Tired...I didn't think I was gonna be able to do the next play."
I said it then (you can look it up), I say it now, Anthony Richardson cannot play at the NFL level. It was a wasted draft pick.
With that diversion out of the way, I just took the lines in on the top 25 games like the MET director of acquisitions did with potential art buys, and these are the games where my eyes paused:
Paterno-Sandusky (3) vs Ohio (4) -4.5. Oh hardy har har. The Snits are going to win that game...But this is eye-pause, not D-Day. *Updated: I completely forgot (investors shouldn't do that) that Drew Allar got hurt against the Boogers. James said Allar "could be a game-time decision", which "could" work in PSU's favor, keeping Ohio prepping for two different QBs after all, but the injury is legit and it's to the knee and on a QB that's about the worst thing. Even if Allar plays, if he is not 100% that's a beeg problem for PSU.
East Lansing Spartak vs Indiana (13) -7.5. OH HARDY HAR HAR! The Hewwzeers have not trailed for one second of one game this season and have yet to beat an opponent by less than 14 points, and AGAIN House, as you did last week, you're installing them as basically a one-TD fave? Get the fuck outta here...But not yet.
SMU (20) -7-5 vs Pitt (18). Biggest rodeo the Ponies have ridden in in about fawty yeers, I bet. I don't bet on my team. Never have. Might make an exception here.
Illinoise (6-2) (24) vs Minnheehaha (5-3) MINUS TWO. Wtf is up with that line?
