Burgerbets is back this week coming to you live from the airport! Yes, yes, yes the burgerboy expanded the budget this week and sprung for a flight to send old burgerbets to scout out the colorado-kansas game in boulder! If you think that game isn’t in my picks you’re either or nuts or haven’t had your fill of burgers for the day! And yes, I am using all exclamation points this week because I killed it last night taking Cincy and am gunna continue to dominate vegas all weekend! One thing I must warn against, the Cowgirls are not playing this week and therefore we are without the “guaranteed at least 1 win bc were betting against Dallas” disclaimer that we’ve had in recent weeks. Here we go, as always home team in caps.
NCAA picks:
COLORADO +9.5 vs Kansas. Oh yes, BurgerBets will be at this game. And oh yes the Buffs will cover! Kansas is overrated and the Buffs are pesky. I would put your burger money on this asap bc I am going to lay such a big wad of cash on this before the game that this line will be 7 by gametime! And yes I will affect the outcome of this game! Go Buffs!
Texas -3 vs Oklahoma. Red river rivalry alert. As much as I miss the days of the 66-10 Oklahoma blowouts and misery of LobstersClaw (see below post of puffy dude eating burger in Cowgirls hat), this line isn’t high enough. Texas has more to play for and its Sam Bradford’s first game back. Sometimes its this easy. Let’s bet on Texas, collect the cash money, and pray Colt McCoy tears his ACL on a meaningless play after the outcome has been decided.
WISCONSIN -2.5 vs Iowa. Am I still bitter about Iowa taking it to Penn State? Maybe. Do I think Wisconsin will cover regardless? Definitely! I have news for you. Any school that produced Sean Considine is NOT going undefeated. End of story.
NFL picks:
Baltimore +3 @ MINNESOTA. The honeymoon is over Brett. Ray Lewis is going to have these Ravens so fired up coming off 2 losses that you are BURGER MEAT BRETT! I compare the end of Brett Favre’s career to LobstersClaw’s collegiate career. He keeps coming back, he’s not as sick as he thinks he is, and it does NOT end well. Consider this the start of it.
Philly -14 @ OAKLAND BurgerBets rule of thumb: when the coach of a team may be in jail before gametime because he broke the jaw of an asst coach, bet on the other team. Oakland can’t score, period. They suck. How they have a win is beyond me. Birds 34 Raiders 13.
HOTLANTA -3 vs Chicago. This line should be 4 or 5. Am I the only one who KNOWS Atlanta is the better team? And I love Jay Cutler. I have a weird but confident read on this game. I don’t think Atlanta will blow away this spread, but I casually KNOW they’ll cover it. When you see my score prediction you’re going to think I have burgers on the brain. I don’t care. I know Atlanta will cover the 3. Falcons 27 Bears 23.
By the way, as usual after below .500 weeks, I am guaranteeing 4-2 minimum this week! 5-2 if there was a way to bet against Dallas in their bye week. Go Buffs!

Hey BurgerBets – you incompetent fool, why don’t you take some time off of being the fraud that you are and pay some attention to college sports. Go back and look at the boxscore of the OU v Baylor game last week. Take your time….see it? It’s pretty damn obvious isn’t? Ohhhh, Sammy Bradford played in that game didn’t he, making this Red River Shootout his SECOND game back. Clean it up and talk to me when you actually win people some money
