Ever so quickly Abby Roux has a pack of watchdogs now watching her like a dog.   Those canines have been hired by all of the big sports betting books in Vegas.  They’re trying to get on to her like fleas.   “Smart” money books, as they call themselves, are now adjusting lines when Abby offers her bone-i-fied opinion on the week’s college games.

And, why shouldn’t they?  She’s hotter than some of the sponsors that she has picked up.  Abby is a documented 6 up and 4 down in the win column.   She is an even better bones bettor,  burying 17 of the 25 bones that she was willing to risk.  That’s 68%!  Take that Mandalay Bay.  Her hunch bets are a smooth 2-0.  That’s some nice scratch overall.

This week Abby spent some long hours howling about trends she always likes.  But those trends don’t show up too well in this week’s contests.  She’s again urging caution, offering fewer bones to pick than last week.  The bets follow.

Washington -3 at Oregon -Abby feels that there is only one team that has a shot at coming out of the PAC 10.   It’s the Huskies of course.  This is a must win for them.  Plus Abby hunts Ducks when she isn’t picking games.  Three bones.

Wisconsin +9  at Michigan – Wisconsin has underwhelmed thus far.   Michigan’s only blemish is to an ND team that looks better by the week.  Abby can’t think of many reasons to have faith in this near double-digit dog.  Sometimes that’s plenty reason enough.  Remember Abby likes to zig when others zag.   Winner looks towards an eventual match up with THE OSU.   The loser is done in any final four discussion.  Two bones.

LSU +7.5 v Georgia -Three weeks ago LSU was outplayed in the trenches by Southeastern.  Yep SELA.  There was no way they would go into Auburn and win.  But, they did.  Barely.  There is no way they can beat Georgia after Florida worked them in the trenches.  But.  Abby sez Georgia, with a late touchdown, wins 27-22.  UGA goes wild.  One bone.

Iowa St +6.5 v West Virginia -“Want to be” champions that want to be on a short list of real playoff contenders have to win games like this in conference and on the road.  WVa did that against Texas Tech a couple of weeks back.  They likely will do it again Saturday.  But, Abby likes home dogs as you might have heard.  So, a back door cover might get us there.  Two bones.

Baylor +14.5 at Texas -This is a bet against the Longhorns not a bet for the Bears.  Tom Herman got his first signature win last week beating Oklahoma when a freshman snapped the ball to a freshman who held the ball for a freshman who nailed a 40 yarder with only nine ticks (not those kind Abby says) on the clock left.  Baylor has no D.  Abby hopes that a road dog can catch a big steer napping.  One bone.

Virgina Tech -5 at North Carolina – If the good Virginia Tech team shows up UNC fans will start marking the days till Tar Heel basketball.  If the team that lost to Old Dominion shows up, never mind.   Abby thinks the Hokies bounce back from a home thrashing at the hands of a good ND team.  She also would like to know what the heck a Hokie is.  Two bones.

On a hunch take Mississippi -7 to out score Arkansas roughly 51-37.

That’s 6 games and 4 dogs for a measly 11 bones.  Don’t empty out what’s left in your 401k.  Vegas might show its teeth this weekend.

Woof.
