Gameday Ditch: Christian's Colorado Picks
Train at altitude. Find yourself in the winning column.
Last week, the Ducks won as road underdogs for the second time this season, and that’s because they’re a good fricken football team.
Victory was the result on the field, but we’ll refer to our friends in Vegas as we look back at Christian’s week-in-review:
Official Picks:
Ducks ML - Winner
Season Record: (4-4) + Leans: (6-4)
That’s how you get back to .500 folks. Let that be a lesson. Never be afraid to get a little boring (read: safe) in order to get ahead.
Oregon heads into Halloweekend as a 24-point favorite—which is a spooky number even for the Colorado game.
What’s really scary is that the line initially opened at something like Oregon -28, and the bettors have since been hammering Colorado so much that it’s shifted the line by four points.
But Christian STILL likes the Buffs to cover:
“I like the under. Think we won’t show much and we’ll play good defense.”
“And the +24.”
“Even though we need to start winning in style.”
First of all, let me be clear that the official Ditch Rich policy position is that the term “style points” is BANNED until December, but I’ll allow it since Vitale has tenure.
But Christian thinks that the Ducks will score less than I predicted they would in my article yesterday, and that’s probably because he is realistic, and I’m just full of dumb, simple hope.
And as my Dad says: “Hope is not a strategy.”
So Vitale says to take the Under 49 and that the Buffs will probably cover +24.
(I might even tell you to spriiiinkle that Oregon moneyline but don’t listen to me unless your heart really compels you to do so)
Also, in case you missed it earlier this week, read about how De’Anthony Thomas tried to get me involved in his Instagram pyramid scheme.
Go Ducks.
