  "account": "Oxford, Mississippi - September 12: The Mississippi Rebels suffered another bad beat in their weekly picks, falling to 7-9 on the year. After going 2-3 in the previous week, it seems new talent may be needed to improve their performance. As a reporter, I sat down at a local Mexican restaurant with a Dos Equis Amber and a steaming molcajete, asking my waiter to certify these locks. He obliged, and I began covering the week four College Football Betting Picks.\n\nThe first pick is South Alabama (-20.5) against Kentucky. The Wildcats have proven difficult to beat this season, with Will Stein leading them to victory in year one. The Rebels should capitalize on this opportunity for a money-making pick.\n\nNext up is Notre Dame at Purdue, with the Irish listed at +27.5. The Boilermakers have struggled this year, while Notre Dame has shown little vulnerability against inferior teams. Betting on the Irish to cover seems like a solid choice, despite the game being away and the predicted score likely being a blowout of 52-28 or greater.\n\nThe next bet is on Oklahoma at Georgia (-13.5). The Sooners have not been performing well lately, and a road trip to Georgia could prove disastrous. With Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs seemingly untouchable at home, a UGA win with a margin of over two touchdowns seems more probable.\n\nFinally, Ole Miss is against Florida (O/U 59.5). Both teams are expected to play aggressively, with explosive offensive players on both sides. The coaches know each other well, and it appears Ole Miss will be looking for a big win to close out the first third of the season. The OVER should be a safe bet after missing last week.",
