Minty Bets: It's week nine of college football and we're here to give you our favorite bets on the board. Let's start with the winner of last week, Mr. Matt Gothard. What is your favorite bet on the board this week?

Matt Gothard: 6 and 0 in the last six weeks. Let's keep it going. Got to-- got to tout it when it's good, right? You know, I'm going-- I'm going back to the well. I'm taking a road favorite. I know everybody says that's square, but it's been hitting lately. I like North Carolina minus 6 and 1/2 against Virginia on the road. Virginia has trailed by at least 14 points in every single game they've lost. North Carolina, they've got a really solid offense. I don't think Virginia can hold on with them. 6 and 1/2 is a great number here but I also would take it at seven.

Minty Bets: OK, simple enough. Jared what's your pick?

Jared Quay: Oh, Gothard, he's too hot. I'm picking North Carolina. No. I'm betting-- I want to bet against a bad team that's cost me money before. There's no way Georgia Tech keeps it close against Notre Dame here. It's a 19 and 1/2 point line. And I've been losing by half a points a lot, but I still think that Georgia Tech's defense is just really, really bad. And I like Ian Book. He looked a lot better last game. They put up 37 points, and obviously blocked a punt, against Pittsburgh's defense. They're going to destroy Georgia Tech's defense. Let's go! I'm taking the Fighting Irish.

Minty Bets: OK. I also like a double digit favorite here. I'm going with Texas A&M at minus 10 and 1/2 over Arkansas. Now, they're both coming off bye weeks, so they're both going to be well rested. But the Aggies here, they do an exceptional job at protecting Kellen Mond. They run the ball really well. And their rush defense is pretty solid, especially going up against Arkansas, who relies on the ground game heavily. So give me the Texas A&M Aggies minus 10 and 1/2.

Matt Gothard: I love it. Jared, fade Georgia Tech at all costs.

Jared Quay: I'll take a minus 50. I'll tell-- [LAUGHS].
