Bet ✓: NCAAF Pick$

 Raise your Cuban mojito if you thought Manny Diaz would still be the head coach of the Miami Hurricanes, just a few days before Halloween? You liar! 

You're either, already high on Skittles, after stealing your 8-year-old's backpack, or spilling your Cuban mojito all over the bar at your favorite Coral Gables hideout as the barkeeper you've been after for six months gives you dirty looks. 

But keep trying because if the Hurricanes (3-4 SU, 2-4 ATS), who appear to be rising (*competitive) from the dead after a slow start to the season, are still live for a 🎳 game heading into Pittsburgh as +9 road underdogs on Saturday, anything is definitely possible. So, clean up your mess and take a look at the Bet ✓ board. (Note: I stand at 37-27-1 overall, including 19-15-1 in college football.)

Georgia vs. Florida (+14.5)/U51: Somehow, the Gators, coming off an awful SU loss to LSU, rack up a solid number when it comes to yards per play on offense. And better than any team Georgia has played so far. Florida is also healthy. Georgia is not. Take the points - and the under total - in a big rivalry game about to take over Jacksonville, Florida.

Ole Miss @ Auburn, U66: Pretty even matchup here - especially when you equate the home-field advantage. Auburn, coming off a bye week, is catching Ole Miss on their fifth straight conference game. And the Rebels, still aching at several key positions, including starting QB, didn't exactly light up an LSU team on the verge of giving up last week.

Just enough: Can the Gators cover +14.5 as significant underdogs vs. No. 1 Georgia?

Penn State (+18.5) @ Ohio State: Penn State is relatively healthy, including QB Sean Clifford, despite suffering a crippling defeat last week. This number seems a bit high -- no matter how much the Buckeyes have improved in recent weeks. Besides .. this is Penn State's last chance to get back into the Big 10 race.

Michigan @ Michigan State, U50.5: Michigan, back in the national title landscape, had played a better schedule and should cover the (-4) number going away. But look for the Wolverines to get there very slowly .. in a hard-hitting and low-scoring contest.

Miami (+10) @ Pittsburgh: Really? So, the Panthers handle Clemson and get double-digit love ?? Really?! I'll bet the Hurricanes, playing their second road game in three weeks, stay very close to the number as they continue to try to save Manny Diaz from himself - while in front of microphone. 

Eat Skittles and Crunch bars, too.
