Over the past few weeks I am even amazing myself on how solid my picks have been. Including my premium picks, I am running at an insane .763 clip over the past 3 weeks!!!! The Hammer is definitely in mid season form, and making a strong push towards the finish line. My goal is to finish over .700 for the entire year, which would make it a top 5 finish in my 18 seasons of handicapping.
Colorado at Iowa State (+4) - Hammer’s pick COLORADO
Don’t fall for the hype over the Cyclones’ fluke win last week over Kansas State. Colorado is a legit Big 12 team again, and Iowa State is still the Baylor of the Big 12 North.
Texas A&M at Missouri (-19) – Hammer’s pick MISSOURI
Word leaked this week that Fran is out as head coach when the year is over, and the players hear the same rumors we do. Expect a Nebraska like performance this week from the Aggies as they get destroyed by Missouri.
Kansas State at Nebraska (+7.5) – Hammer’s pick KANSAS STATE
The Nebraska team and their coach quit about 4 weeks ago. Expect much of the same this week as Kansas State blows out the Cornhuskers.
Texas Tech at Texas (-6.5) – Hammer’s pick TEXAS
Tech always chokes against top talent, and they always collapse down the stretch when they have a chance to make a move in the standings. Texas will roll easily in the battle for state supremacy.
Baylor at Oklahoma (-38) – Hammer’s pick OKLAHOMA
We might see the lights flicker on the scoreboard when OU puts up triple digits this week against Baylor. I have bet against Baylor every week this year, and they have yet to cover. Easy money.
Kansas at Oklahoma Sate (+6) – Hammer’s pick KANSAS
Kansas can smell a BCS bid, and the kids on this team are too focused to overlook a tough OSU team. Kansas should be able to get out of Stillwater with a double-digit win.
