The Degenerate Digest v.128

Undefeated lifetime in public #PremiumMemberTickleTeaser’s. Congrats to all who chose that adventure. 5-3 record ain’t too shabby either, but plenty of work to be done.

The lineup this week is certainly not loaded. That’s not gonna stop us from getting loaded and taking any game we can. Have to build up the holiday season bankroll. All the food, booze, and toys for little Timmy and Sally ain’t gonna pay for themselves.

There’s been a ton of movement on lines this week. Even now as I write this, almost every single one of my picks has changed since my first dumparoski this morning. I could get in my head and follow the money. But instead of a Reverse Line Movement Saturday, I would like to approach today’s slate with a different theme. 

Thank you, Oprah. So true. Trust Your Gut Saturday. This also plays in part to the Friendsgiving I will be attending this afternoon. Perhaps leading to many more dumparoski’s. Trust Your Gut. Week 13!

Wisconsin @ Nebraska: Over 41.5

Can I really hit back to back Big Ten over’s? Wild move by me, but that’s what my gut says. Two sub par offenses, two sub par defenses. I don’t expect a blowout by either side here. So something’s gotta give. I see more tit for tit offensively then a complete lockdown by both defenses.

Final Score: Wisconsin 24, Nebraska 20

Texas Tech @ Oklahoma State: Texas Tech -4.5

Texas Tech might not be having a great season, but they stay in games even if they are outmatched - scoring an average of 35.5 points this season. Oklahoma State is not a team that should outmatch the Red Raiders. Apparent in their 27.8 average points on the season, and more importantly, 21.4 over their last 7 games.

Final Score: Texas Tech 34, Oklahoma State 27

Pittsburgh @ Louisville: Louisville -8.5

Pittsburgh has followed suit with the change of the seasons, turning into a pumpkin just in time to ruin their hot 7-0 start to the year. Louisville has held their own against opponents such as Notre Dame, Miami, and an outright win against Clemson. Do I think this line is too much? That’s what my brain says. But I’m not living in my head this week. I’m living in my gut. Give me the Cardinals. 

Final Score: Louisville 34, Pittsburgh 24

Missouri @ Mississippi State: Missouri -7.5

Missouri almost took it from the Gamecocks last week. They almost had it. Mississippi State has been a disgrace this season, finding themselves at the bottom of the SEC and without a conference win. Don’t overthink it, Trust Your Gut.

Final Score: Missouri 28, Mississippi State 17

Baylor @ Houston: Baylor Team Total O29.5

Baylor has been better than their record shows, averaging 35.1 points on the season, and 40.8 in their last 5 games. Houston’s defense has been decent, but giving up 27 to Arizona last week isn’t exactly promising. Gut trust on the upward trend the Bears have seen on offense recently.

Final Score: Baylor 31, Houston 20

(15) Texas A&M @ Auburn: Texas A&M -2.5

Uhhhh, the ultimate gut check. Might I turn back the page to Week 10 when I thought the Auburn line was a trap and they were a sure fire lock on the day? This line also makes no sense. But I’m not getting wrapped up in the ‘why’ of it all. I’m getting wrapped up in the fact that Auburn fucking sucks, and Texas A&M is just straight up a better team.

Final Score: Texas A&M 27, Auburn 21

But Joey Digest, why no locks for Indiana/OSU? What about Army/Notre Dame?? How am I going to survive!? Relax, guy. I’ll provide your fix. DM’s are open for the #PremiumMemberTickleTeaser
