–I’m off to a solid start in Week 10, cashing a pair of easy winners on Thursday and Friday. I had the ‘over’ (51) for Louisville-FSU that saw 73 combined points scored. I also backed Cincinnati as a single-digit favorite last night when the Bearcats cruised to a 38-14 win at Tulane. I have seven picks going tonight.

–Since 1989, Georgia has beaten Florida by a double-digit margin only twice. In 1997, Robert Edwards exploded to lead UGA to a 37-17 victory. In 2007, the game in which Mark Richt elected to send his entire team on the field to celebrate UGA’s first touchdown (and then paid for it the next two years in pimpslaps by scores of 49-10 and 41-17), the Bulldogs beat UF by a 42-30 count behind brilliant performances from Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno.
