Last week I hit exactly 50% in my picks, but I emphasized only 2 games and I hope you took those. This week I have 5 college picks, all of which I love. The first game is very familiar, the second not many people will like to see. But here they are...
1 Colorado -3 Over Texas A&M - Back to back weeks the Buffs are my top pick of the weekend. They are a better team than A&M, A&M is not good on the road, and it is tough going into that home field of CU, especially with that altitude. CU showed just how good they were last week, and I truly don't understand this line. If the line was 8 I would still love CU as my top pick. At 3 I love it even more. I said it last week and I'll say it again, as they are my favorite game of the day. BET THIS GAME!
2 TEXAS TECH -4 Over Nebraska - Sorry. I'm a huge Husker fan, but reality takes precedent. I will absolutely be cheering my ass off to lose money in this one, but here is my take. The only weak spot on the NU defense is the secondary, which has not been tested this season. Last week ISU passed for over 300, and that was a bad pass offense. TT has a great pass offense. NU has 3 decent cover DB's. Well, what will happen when TT goes 5 wide and our 5th DB has to go man to man? Getting a pass rush on TT is tough, and though we have some of the best pass rushers in the country, the coverage by the DB's will not be good enough so there won't be much pressure. I see TT scoring a lot of points, winning this one 48-30. Hate saying it, but that's how I see it.
3 Air Force +1` Over Navy - Navy has won the last few games against AF and have the home field. However Navy has struggled somewhat this season, losing most of their good players from last year, and haven't found the key components yet. AF has been tested all year and has been very solid, but very underrated. The talent differential is huge here leaning towards AF, and they will be hungry to beat another Military Academy, especially since they haven't in a few years, winning this one by 10.
4 SDSU -9` Over UNLV - UNLV has one of the worst teams in the country this year. Their defense is terrible, offense terrible, special teams terrible. SDSU has very few weaknesses, has played one of the toughest schedules in the country (and competed well), with an outstanding defense and balanced offense. SDSU is one of the most underrated teams in the country and should put up 40 points easily, and despite laying almost 10 on the road, I love this game.
5 Missouri -5` over Oklahoma St - I told you last week how bad OSU is, and I think you believe me after that game. OSU has no offense at all, which bodes well because Mizzou's defense is weak. However, Mizzou's offense has been very good, and with Brad Smith going from a Texas defense last week to an OSU defense this week, I see them bouncing back in a big way, winning this game by 2 TD's.
Those are my picks. There are other games I really like - Wyoming, Kansas St, Washington St, Pitt, Louisville, and Tulsa to name a few. Keep an eye out for Sunday. As of right now there is only one game I really like but have my eye on a few others and will decide on them Sunday morning.
Good Luck!!!

50%. . . I guess you want your readers to lose money every week. I think you will need to start a system of assigning "stars" to your picks. This way the reader knows the confidence you have in each on of your picks. I have a pet monkey that has made better picks than you! I wish I was your bookie!!
