We have passed the halfway mark in college football, as Week 8 is upon us. This is a terrific week for college football with a plethora of games with big and small spreads on the card, making it a fun one for bettors at Barstool Sportsbook.
Each week on the “Barstool Pick ‘Em” podcast, Dave Portnoy, Big Cat, and Rico Bosco talk about the weekend to come in college football. They give their favorite betting picks, mortal locks, and some insight on the biggest games of the weekend. The mortal lock parlay is a combination of each player’s lock, which can be found in the podcast as well.
In this article, we take a look at all the Barstool betting picks for Week 8 in college football. Find picks from Dave Portnoy, Big Cat, Rico Bosco, MeganMakinMoney, and KellyinVegas. As always, all picks and odds are courtesy of Barstool Sportsbook.
What are Barstool’s Mortal Locks for Week 8?
What is a mortal lock? We know a lock is a pick that a handicapper is confident in, but a mortal lock takes this one step further. This is a bet that a handicapper is incredibly confident in and it is one of the best lines you could get, per this analyst. Of course with the satirical nature of Barstool sometimes, this goes overboard. The hosts of the Barstool Pick ‘Em podcast aren’t necessarily the sharpest, so their mortal locks aren’t exactly the definition of the word. With that said, they are provided each week in one of the most popular segments of the show.
Without further ado, here are the Week 8 mortal locks for college football.
Portnoy’s Mortal Lock
- Texas A&M -21 vs. South Carolina
Big Cat’s Mortal Lock
- Pittsburgh -3 vs. Clemson
Rico Bosco’s Mortal Lock
- Cincinnati -27.5 vs. Navy
