Arizona State Pulls It Off In OT; Saturday's Take Em To The Bank Picks!

#20 Arizona State Upends #24 Missouri In OT; Friday Take Em To The Bank Covers

#20 Arizona State 37   #24 Missouri 30 OT





My Friday Take Em To The Bank goes 1-1 as Missouri covers the 9.5 but doesn't win in a thrilling 37-30 OT loss to Arizona State. Arizona State QB Brock Oswiler went 24/32/353/3/0. WR Aaron Pflugrad set a career high catching 8 passes for 180 yards and 2TDs. Jamal Miles added 6 catches for 50 yards and 2 TDs. Miles also threw a 35 yard pass for a TD. 
Next up for the 2-0 Arizona State is at a tough test at Illinois and 1-1 Missouri is at home vs Western Illinois.

Thursday Night Take Em To The Bank 2-0; Two Top 25 Teams Face Off Tonight!

Thursday Night Take Em To The Bank 2-0

# 7 Oklahoma State 37  Arizona 14




I told you it wouldn't be close as JR WR standout Justin Blackmon caught 2 TDs, RB Joseph Randle ran for 121 yards and QB Brandon Weeden threw for 397 yards as #7 Oklahoma State smashed Arizona 37-14, easily covering the 14 spoint spread.
Arizona QB Nick Foles threw for 398 but the Cowboys stuffed their running game, holding the Wildcats to only 41 yards.
Next up for Oklahoma State is a winnable game at Tulsa, setting up a possible meeting of undefeates in Week 4 vs. Texas A/M. Arizona will prepare to take on the air attack of Stanford at home.


Friday Night Take Em To the Bank

#24 Missouri (1-0)  +9.5 at #20 Arizona State (1-0)



I'm 0-1 with my Friday night picks after taking TCU to cover against Baylor.
Missouri looked sluggish last week vs Miami (OH) only managing 17 points. Arizona State easily handled UC Davis. Although I think Arizona State wins this game, 9.5 points is too much.


Missouri +9.5 Take Em To The Bank!
