CFB Picks

It was wonderful last season, as Ole Miss ended 10 years of frustration in knocking off Alabama 23-17 as four-point underdogs. Can they do that again this year?   Ole Miss is ranked #11 in the Coaches Poll and #15 in the AP - telling that the experts aren't even sure...

Trojans go off tonight -5.5. That could be tough. Stanford had their number last week and ASU has a similar scheme. Add back in Ballage and they can get physical. Like that they've blitzed 72% of the time and will be a fun game to watch. Like ASU and the points.

Like the Tarheels today +7.5 pts.

Take Bama -3.5 here.  Bama D playing lights out last few weeks will shut down Aggies run game, forcing too many passes.  This will be a defensive, physical game with Bama on top 20 - 13.

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...

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...

Taking Nevada -6 over a bad UNLV team.

Like the under 37 pts.  BC D will hold Clemson in check and both will struggle to score today.

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...

Taking La Tech +13 here.  Miss St. with a lot of young players this year plus this game means a lot more to La Tech out to prove they can play with the big bad SEC.
