College Football Picks

I'm 7-6 on the year in college football, so i need a big week this week. Let's get to it.

Wisconsin +3 over Illinois
Yeah, i had to check that line as well. The #5 team in the country GETTING three points against Illinois. Umm, when did we switch to bizarro world? This is the same Wisconsin team that's won 14 in a row right? Bet this, and bet it hard.

Michigan St. -16.5 over Northwestern
This Spartan team can put up points (34 against Wisconsin last week), and Northwestern isn't that good.

Texas +13 over Oklahoma
I don't get the line on this one. Both teams are 4-1, both are coming off a loss last week, both are ranked in the top 20, and the game is at a neutral site. How is this 13 points? Especially when Texas has the more experienced quarterback, Colt McCoy, who is a sophomore with 18 games under his belt, over Sam Bradford who will be starting just his fifth game. I don't buy 13 points, so i'm taking Texas.

Georgia -1.5 over Tennessee
Consider me puzzled on this line as well. Georgia is the 12th ranked team in the country, and Tennessee is 2-2 on the year. It's in Tennessee, but with the 3 points for home field, they're saying Georgia is only 1.5 points better than the Volunteers. I don't buy this either.

Virginia Tech +6 over Clemson
Ok seriously, what is going on this week?! Va. Tech is ranked 15, Clemson 22. They are both 4-1. How is Clemson favored by 6? I don't care if it's in Clemson, it's just weird. Something is going on this week, and now i'm getting nervous...

LSU -7 over Florida
LSU has become the Patriots of College Football. It doesn't matter who they're playing and what the line is, i'm taking them. They are too good. If you bet the spread on LSU every week this year, you will more money than you lose...

And finally, i can't take the line because it's too high, but i really hope Notre Dame continues to lose and look bad doing it this week against UCLA...
