College Football: Week Four Picks Against the Spread

September 22, 2018

There are a lot of quality plays this week. Here are my picks. Penn State at Illinois (+28, 59.5): Penn State has been an awesome play the last two weeks but that was at home. Things could be different on the road against an improved Illini team primed for an upset. I’m taking Illinois as a home dog. Washington State at USC (-3.5, 53): True freshmen quarterback J.T Daniels has struggled the past two weeks but…

Here are some thoughts on the week that was in college football. 1. Alabama is a machine. Period! They absolutely pounded a good Ole Miss team 62-7. 2. I can’t say I’m surprised that Wisconsin lost to BYU. You could see it coming when they fell behind. Wisconsin is not built to come from behind. 3.

College Football: Week 3 Top Picks vs. The Spread

September 15, 2018

Oklahoma at Iowa State (+17.5, 55): Oklahoma rolled through Florida Atlantic and UCLA but something tells me they’ll have a hard time beating an Iowa State team in Ames by more than 14 points. I know the Sooners have revenge on their minds after losing to the Cyclones last season in Norman, but that won’t matter. Miami (Fla.) at Toledo (+10, 57.5): I cant believe Miami is traveling to Toledo. It makes zero sense to…
