College Football Picks

Time to get after it again. I've been struggling all year long, and need to buckle down this week. Overall record is 14-15. Here we go:

Notre Dame +18 over USC
Don't get me wrong: I still hate ND, and i don't think they're winning this game. But i think they will keep it close. USC's sophomore qb Sanchez is starting again, they have no receivers, and their flight into South Bend was a bit, shall we say, harrowing. Plus, USC never plays well at Notre Dame.

Michigan St. +19 over Ohio St.
Yeah, it's in the Horseshoe in Columbus, but i just don't see Ohio St. blowing the Spartans out. Again, i think the Buckeye's win, but i think Michigan St. covers.

Florida -7 over Kentucky
Kentucky had their big win last week over LSU, and Florida is looking for some redemption on the season. Has all the makings of a let-down game for the Wildcats.

Colorado +4 over Kansas
Call me the king of the underdogs this week, but maybe i'm just coming around. Kansas has no business being 6-0, and Colorado has been frisky at home (beating Oklahoma).

Michigan -1 over Illinois (ED. note: I changed this pick saturday morning...) (Ed. note: Mike Hart was a scratch. All bets are off...)
Illinois is returning home after a disappointing loss to Iowa, and Michigan comes in on a roll. But Michigan has had all it's problems this year against spread offenses, which is exactly what Illinois employs. However, i still think the Wolverines get it done on the road.


UConn +3.5 over Louisville (Friday Night)
UConn has a better record and is at home, but is getting 3.5 points? Plus, has any defense in the country looked as bad as Louisville's?

Arkansas -5.5 over Mississippi
Mississippi screwed me last week by losing but covering. Thanks a lot. This week i think they lose and don't cover. I hope.

Well, that's all i got. May be back later with a line on the Cal-UCLA game, but so far there is no line on it...
