Well, 2-6 last week brings me to 14-17 on the year. A bad week last week to say the least. That is unless you take my advice and bet against me. This weeks slate of games is a good one and I love a lot of games this week. Let's get started.
Favorites are in bold
Northwestern Wildcats vs Minnesota Golden Gophers in Evanston, Ryan Field
Spread: 2
Pick: Northwestern Wildcats
Northwestern stumbled last week versus the 'Cuse, but that may have been just what the doctor ordered for Pat Fitzgerald to rally the troops. Minnesota goes on the road for the first time in the Big 10 and is gonna take its lumps. NW is going to score some points in this game and cover 42-36.
Alabama Crimson Tide vs Arkansas Razorbacks in Tuscaloosa, Bryant Denny Field
O/U: 57
Pick: Over
Bobby Petrino has this offense humming. Now if he could only teach them how to play defense. Arkansas is going to become just like Louisville when Petrino was with the Cardinals, bet the over and laugh as you watch them cover it in the first half. Kind of like the Razorbacks to cover in this game, but after last week, I will just take the over. Roll Tide, 52-40.
Stanford Cardinal vs Washington Huskies in Stanford, Stanford Stadium
Spread: 7
Pick: Stanford Cardinal
I always like to see USC lose. That being said, all the celebrating in Seattle will be tempered as they go to Stanford and get worked. Jim Harbaugh will have the Cardinal ready and the hangover will be too much for the Huskies. Stanford beats UW, 35-17.
Kansas Jayhawks vs Southern Miss Golden Eagles in Lawrence, Memorial Stadium - KS
Spread: 13
Pick: Kansas Jayhawks
Kansas has been flying under the radar so far this year. While they are 3-0 versus some weak opponents, they are also 3-0 versus the number. Look for CFB's greatest coach, Mark "I'll pass on the salad" Mangino to continue to put up points this week. Rock, Chalk wins easily 54-14.
Cincinnati Bearcats vs Fresno State Bulldogs in Cincinnati, Nippert Stadium
Spread: 16
Pick: Cincinnati Bearcats
UC is ridiculous this year. The Buckeyes are lucky they are not playing these guys this year because they may be the best team in Ohio. They are going to put up an ungodly number of points this week versus a porous Fresno D that is being put through the wringer with travel plans. Bearcats huge, 63-21.
Michigan Wolverines vs Indiana Hoosiers in Ann Arbor, Michigan Stadium
Spread: 21
Pick: Michigan Wolverines
Indiana is terrible. Michigan has an offense. UM works Indiana. Simple equation. Go Blow wins 49-10.
Clemson Tigers vs TCU Horned Frogs in Clemson, Clemson Memorial Stadium
Spread: 2.5
Pick: TCU Horned Frogs
I love TCU. There travel schedule has been a little brutal, but they have the athletes to match up on defense with Clemson. I think TCU wins this game outright. Take the points, but the Horned Frogs win 31-28.
North Carolina State Wolfpack vs Pittsburgh Panthers in Raleigh, Carter Finley Stadium
Spread: pk
Pick: Pittsburgh Panthers
Pitt is another team under the radar that has been playing pretty well. They lost LeSean McCoy but that seems to have improved their offense because they have opened it up. NC State is simply not a good team. The Panthers go on the road and get a big win, 28-23.
And the degenerate pick of the week...
Bowling Green Falcons vs Boise State Broncos in Bowling Green, Perry Stadium
Spread: 17
Pick: Bowling Green Falcons
I have been waiting for this game since Boise beat Oregon. Watch out Broncos, if you are not ready, you may get beat this weekend. BGSU has beaten a decent Troy team, lost a heartbreaker at Mizzou, and then fell into a trap at Marshall last week and lost. Boise State will be without starting RB DJ Harper who tore his ACL last week. After a couple early big games (at Fresno and Oregon at home), this game may spell trouble if Boise doesn't show up. Boise may escape, but not by as much as people think. Upset alert Boise, but the Broncos pull it out 42-40.
