Matty Mulas Record

2022: +6.2 Units

Last night started with Carolina losing in overtime to lose a plus-side money line bet. Followed by Flordia A&M winning but missing the spread by one point. Then we got to the main event of the evening, Kansas at Texas; we picked up a win with the Longhorns holding court at home. Alright, enough of me bitching and complaining. Let's get into today's games; it will be all NCCAB. I was not too fond of anything in the NHL or NBA so we will stay away from that.

Auburn @ Arkansas

We start in the SEC, where number one ranked Auburn heads to Arkansas to take on the red hot Razorbacks. Auburn comes into this game after limping by a sub-par Georgia team but still supporting a nineteen-game win streak. Arkansas comes in, repping an eight-game win streak and finally looks like the team people were picking to win the SEC Championship. I believe this will be Auburn's most challenging road game to date, and they are due for a loss. The sharp money is also all over Arkansas, with 92% of the funds backing the Razorbacks. I think Arkansas comes out super hard, and Auburn won't make up for it.

Pick: Arkansas FH +0.5 (1 Unit)

Utah State @ Wyoming

Next, we head over to the Mountain West, where Utah State heads to conference hierarchy in Wyoming. I believe Wyoming is the best team in the Mountain West, and their resume shows that. This line feels like it should be five, six or maybe even seven. This scares me a little, but I will believe in the better team; give me Wyoming at home!

Pick: Wyoming -1.5 (1 Unit)

Michigan @ Penn State (+2)

Finally, we end up in the Big Ten, where a disappointing Michigan team heads to Penn State to take on a pesky Nitty Lions squad. Michigan comes into this game after a close loss to Purdue, where they looked pretty good. Penn State comes in after a close loss at Wisco, an excellent example of their year so far. They do not possess the most talent, but they play so hard. That said, at some point, Michigan will have to go on a run to sneak into the bubble talk. I understand why this line is so short, but I'm going to take the bait. Give me

Pick: Michigan -2
