Abby provided another treat for our loyal subscribers last week. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?  It’s Halloween and she’s expecting more of the same- treats, not tricks that is.  Hopefully, those darn kids ringing the doorbell won’t disturb her too much while watching the games.

For the season the w/l record is 14-11 with one tie.  She suffered a half-point bad beat on a parlay, yet the bones are running at a fine 60% win rate, 24 up, 16 down.  The hunch got crunched falling to 1-3.

1.  Coastal Carolina v Georgia St +3 – Quick, name one player on either team.  No worries, neither can Abby.  That said she loves her some home dogs and Georgia St. has its best team in many (howling at the) moons.  One bone.
2. Texas + 3 1/2 at Oklahoma St. – The Cowboys control their Big 12 destiny and are home.  Texas has been wobbly from week one.   But the Longhorns aren’t ready to be roped in just yet.  Two bones.
3. Georgia at Kentucky +17 1/2 –  Spot is a great dog name.  This spot is a great one for a home dog.  Kentucky fell flat on its jowls last week. Georgia wins, but the Wildcats scare them for three quarters.  One bone.
4. Kansas St at West Va -3 1/2 – Every week there is a line or two that makes no doggone sense to Abby.  This is one.  She thinks the wrong team is favored here.  Does Vegas have a flashlight to see what others in the dark night cannot?  We think so, so we’ll zig when others zag.  Two bones.
5. UCF at Houston +2 1/2 – Dana Holgerson, skeletons in the closet aside, gets his biggest win as the Cougar’s head coach.  Expect more than a point a minute in this ping pong match, but watch the Cougars get a stop late.  One bone.

The hunch bet needs to get out of the dungeon.  It’s not too early to throw a Hail Mary.  Take Virginia + 7 1/2 over North Carolina, Iowa – 2 1/2 over Northwestern, and TCU/Baylor over 48 in a three-team parlay for a one to win six return.

Abby has a question.   “If candy corn is so good, why is it only for Halloween?” she growls.

Woof!
