So Far So Good.....College Picks

I did pretty good last week going 7-3 against the spread and also went 6-4 with my over/under picks. Combine that with the week before and I am 12-8 against the spread.

Keep these picks in mind when you call your bookie or visit the casino.


[home teams in all caps]

STANFORD------30-----54.5------Washington St.

Stanford as a 30 point favorite?!?! Really? I know Wazzou is bad but that bad....I don't think so. Stanford will win but it WON'T be by 30. Take Wazzou and the points. Also take the under as I don't think these teams score 55 points.

MISSISSIPPI ST----3----38.5------Kentucky

Kentucky is good....when they are healthy and they aren't really all that healthy right now. Plus the game is in Starkville. Take Mississippi State to cover but take the under as these offenses are pretty bad.

OKLAHOMA-----22-------72------Nebraska

Oklahoma hasn't really helped me yet in these picks since I can't seem to nail them down. I can't imagine they stop Nebraska completely but will they win by 22? I am not convinced. Nebraska actually has a decent pass defense. Oklahoma will win but take Nebraska and the points. Oh and take the under too.

ILLINOIS------2.5-------49.5------Iowa

Illinois is a favorite which should raise flags no matter what. They are only 4-4 this season and haven't looked very good in weeks. Iowa might be looking ahead a little towards Penn State next weekend but I still like the Hawkeyes. Take Iowa to win outright and it will be higher scoring than you think...take the over.

BOSTON COLLEGE----4.5-----40.5----Clemson

Clemson doesn't seem to be playing with any sense of passion right now. And now they have to go on the road to play a good team. I don't think they can hang with BC. Take the Eagles to win and cover but take the under cause defense will rule this game.

ALABAMA-------23-------46------Arkansas State

This game should be an easy win for Bama. Arkansas St isn't bad but they can't hang with the Tide, can they? The only thing Bama should be scared of is LSU next weekend. And that is the main reason why I say this take Arkansas St and the points as well as the over. They will hang in against an over rated Bama team.

INDIANA------2.5------55.5------Central Michigan

Indiana got lucky last week against Northwestern when the Cats had some injury problems. CMU is a very good offense and the Hoosiers defense isn't very tough. Take the Chippewas to win outright and take the over.

MICHIGAN ST-----4.5-----47.5-----Wisconsin

Wisconsin finally showed up for a game last weekend and beat Illinois. But we already said that Illinois isn't very good which doesn't help Wiscy. Sparty on the other hand is solid and will win by a touchdown at home. Take State as they will cover but take the under in this one.

Florida--------5.5-------56--------Georgia

Neither team is really at home here since the game is in Jacksonville. First of all take the under. But just barely. I have the final score 34-21 so it will be close to the line. But who wins? Well Florida is playing good right now and that matters more than preseason hype. Take Florida to win AND cover.

Texas--------4-------75.5--------TEXAS TECH

The lone home underdog on my board this week. Can the Red Raiders pull off the upset? Yes they can....anyone can. But will they? Texas is playing great right now after winning 3 straight games (2 at home) against tough teams. But have they really been tested? Not sure. I think their confidence gets in the way and they struggle on the road. Take Tech to win outright. I am torn about the over under though. I will say take the under as this will probably be more defensive than you think.


There you have it. Now I understand you don't really trust me yet since I am only 12-8 after 2 weeks so its okay if you don't go out and bet this week but you can set your account up for next week. Cause when I go 10-0 this week you are going to be looking for my picks next week so you too can make some money!
