Week 7 picks: Looking for the situational spots at the midway point of the season

We have inched above .500. Can we keep the good times going?

Will the Nittany Lion be celebrating yet another cover Saturday?

We are back over .500!

And we are never playing a Northern Illinois game again. We’ll put the Huskies in the “ACC Coastal” box, as we have always had a personal rule here for never betting on a game in a division that is made of pure chaos. (And make no mistake about it, after last week’s Georgia Tech-Miami finish, Coastal Chaos is alive and well, even if the ACC no longer has divisions.)

This week we turn to the Mountain West for two games, along with a Northeast tilt that has little implications beyond, well, the purposes of this column.

Away we go!

Fresno State -0.5 1Q at Utah State (BetMGM/DraftKings). I’ll get straight to the point: My man Colby Marchio presented this play during his “Colby Challenge” segment on our Thursday episode of “Live On The Line,” and I have to say: It’s flawless.
