Big Picks Energy: Best Bets for Week 8


OK, we’re officially done with teasers. For real this time. The picks finished below .500 again last week, thanks in part to a John Mateer pick-six that pushed Kentucky’s team total over 17.5 points. Because apparently losing bets the normal way isn’t enough. 

However, the good news is that the Lock of the Week continues to be outstanding. It went 2-0 last week, improving to 10-1 on the season. The lone miss? South Carolina’s one-point overtime loss to Kentucky.

This week should be another great one, and I’m feeling lucky. It’s my wedding week, so how could we possibly miss?
