This week’s college football pick of the week is up.

But first it’s our comp winner from Matt Rivers for Saturday is on Kentucky.

I played Kentucky last week to the max with that 500,000* and it won as the Wildcats lost by only three in the cover at home against Auburn. I really do like them today once again as KU is my second favorite play on the board and at home I will gladly roll with them in this once again home dog spot.

Not having Derrick Locke isn’t great as the guy is a total stud but Randall Cobb and Mike Hartline still lead a potent and dangerous offense for us and if this game, after beating Alabama, doesn’t wreak letdown for Steve Spurrier’s Gamecocks than I don’t know what does.

South Carolina is definitely the better defensive team and overall stouter group on the field today but this is the perfect spot for them to not come all guns a blazing. They just upset top ranked Alabama at home and cannot keep up the insane intensity here on the road in Lexington, no how no way. You see this situation arise a lot in college sports, not only football, where team A has a phenomenal win and looks to be on the right track and ready to explode in a positive way. Then they leave home and lay the stinkiest of eggs against an inferior opponent. It happens in football, it happens in basketball, it happens in baseball it happens all over the college ranks in almost all sports with these 18, 19, 20 and 21 year olds.

I like the talent on Spurrier’s team but let’s face it Stephen Garcia has had a very up and down career and I can see the down rear its ugly head today. The kid had the game of his life last week in leading the ‘Cocks to the surprise victory but Garcia is going to be very susceptible to a poor effort today and a potential outright loss. The one motto that I go by regularly in life is how history repeats itself and that would fit brilliantly here in this spot for Garcia and his team as a whole as teams that have great wins like South Carolina just did generally fall flat in that next game suffering a tremendous letdown and get smacked around a bit. Kentucky has enough offensive firepower to play that underdog role to perfection today.

All in all I do believe that SC is the best they’ve been with Spurrier at the helm. Marcus Lattimore is a really good running back and Alshon Jeffrey is no joke himself. But these kids are still kids and the spot is ripe for the Kentucky picking. Look for the Wildcats to make plays and very possibly steal the outright shaking up the SEC once again.

The pick: Kentucky +5 against South Carolina

It’s mortal lock time again and as you probably know I released this thing on Thursday I loved it so much. You hardly ever see me bring out the big gun 500,000* from my arsenal but today is one of those rare times. 500,000* Kentucky cashed the ticket last week and today I have another super rare mortal lock in this game between Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. The number is right around a field goal and I absolutely spit on that in a major major way. You want the Lock of my Life? Well you got it. One play today as nothing else at all is needed, period!
