Weekly Picks

Thursday Night

Cincinati 36, NCSt 27 - The Bearcats will win, put there will be some ugly spots in this game. O'Brien's sketchy punt calls and some serious Cincy interceptions. Somehow there will still be a lot touchdowns scored, though.

Friday Night

BYU 20, UCF 17 - These teams are both coming off serious disappointments, especially the Cougs who coughed up the ball 7 times en route to a 10-54 thrashing at the hands of Utah. I think this will be relatively boring with BYU pulling out the win.

Saturday

Michigan 33, SDSU 23 - This summer, I picked SDSU to upset the Wolverines in the Big House. I AM NOT standing by that. Watch for the Aztecs to make some noise, but they won't be able to compete athletically. I'll take Shoelace to secure the victory.


Georgia Tech 34, UNC 21 - Why not? The Jacket offense is ROLLING right now and I don't see a depleted Tarheel D stopping them.

Notre Dame 27, Pitt 24 - The Irish getting back on track with two-in-a-row.

Georgia 31, Ole Miss 17 - CMR needs to win this one. I'm being a little conservative with the points; I think the Dawgs could score way more. Me thinks I smell a dumpster aflame in Oxford...

Alabama 33, Arkansas 20 - I have a feeling that the Tide will be clicking on all cylinders this Saturday. Arkansas will be a scrappy team, led by their offense, but they won't be anywhere near enough.

Texas A&M 41, OKSt. 37 - This could honestly go either way. If the Aggies can't find an answer to Blackmon, the Pokes could very easily take the W.

Clemson 26, FSU 23 - As far as we know, Manuel' s still out. For me, that's enough to pick a Tiger team that's surging over a 'Noles squad that's slumping.

South Carolina 30, Vanderbilt 20 - This will be a boring game.

Oklahoma 41, Missouri 23 - Sooners roll.

LSU 30, West Virginia 13 - Things could get crazy in Morgantown: Holgo, Les Miles, that nasty Tiger D, and these two fan bases lubed up on stadium beer. Right now, this pick is all about LSU's defensive play. I don't see the 'Neers being the team to find a way through it. 

Oregon 44, Arizona 17 - The Ducks will quietly roll to 11-1 and the PAC-12 championship.

Arizona State 27, USC 26 - Take the Vontaze and the points!

Vontaze likes Skittles...and quarterback rib particulate.
