CFB Picks

ASU has under achieved so far this season with a lot of talent within this group.  They breakout big time this week against a hapless Lobos bunch.  I expect a big effort in all phases as ASU puts up a big number to cover a sizeable number tonight. 10-34 Score  

Bears have the opportunity to prove they are up and coming. Texas has an open AD position - and lots of alumni demanding pride back in the program.   This is just a tough game to spot. The line has swung almost 11 points - and that is exactly the type...

Mississippi State won its home opener at Southern Miss 34-6 but didn't cover and was under. May be their QB Dak Prescott just got a slow start but this may be the best he can play. LSU may be coming in at a disadvantage since their opener with McNeese St...

Fresno State didn't show well at Abilene Christian last week allowing 13 points in a 34-13 win. Ole Miss is the best team they'll face all year. Since 1992, Fresno State as an underdog of 21.5 to 31 points has lost all 9 of those games, going 6-3 ATS. The...

This game is really being played in the Hawkeye State but just in the rival universe of Cyclone State. To Iowans at Iowa State, this is a huge game. Both teams are ground game oriented but Iowa State defended the rush better last week (41-126 ) to Iowa's (28-35 ). Total...

Arizona had an unimpressive game last week posting 4.3 ave yards rushing and 6.4 passing. Defense gave up 32 points at home. But they didn't have much to play for in the opener. Nevada posted better numbers (5.9 rushing/7.1 ave passing) but Cal Davis isn't the caliber of Arizona. Like Arizona,...

A lot can be said for going down the roster to find value plays - and looking into the Sun Belt has that feel. This is the first season Georgia Southern is bowl eligible after coming off a 9-3 record its first year in the Sun Belt. While in the Big...

We are Marshall is coming off its best season in years with a 13-1 record. Junior Gunnar Holcombe is taking control as QB with big shoes to fill following Rakeem Cato. What Darrell Hazell did for Kent State is not repeating at Purdue. In the last 6 years, Purdue has...

Penn State is a name brand team with a potential top draft QB in Christian Hackenberg. The O line is looking promising this season but test day is Saturday. Temple hasn't beaten Penn State over the last 31 games - since 1941. The Owls come to their home field with 11...
