College Picks for Saturday, 11/5

I promised everyone a big pick today. Actually I am calling the top pick a very big pick, and my last 4 I really love as well. So just like last week (though the games only went 2-2-1), I put a big BET THIS GAME on all 5. Here they are...

1 North Carolina +5 Over BC - This is my favorite Handicapper's Game Of The Year. And I already loved this game. North Carolina played well last week, and are probably the best 3-4 team in the country. I expect a straight up win.

2 Arkansas -4 Over South Carolina - South Carolina won AT Tennessee last week. Arkansas has the top rushing offense in the country, and SC's defense is very average. SC winning at UT last week gives us great line value, and I see a big let down after that huge win.

3 Miami (FL) +6` Over Virginia Tech - This is a huge game for both teams, and probably the biggest game of the year nationally at this point in the season. VT needs a win to stay unbeaten, Miami needs a win to take control in the ACC. This should be a hard fought battle, and I see Miami pulling the upset.

4 NC St +12` Over Florida St - FSU is way overrated this season. NC St was my big pick last week, and they disappointed despite completely dominating the game. NC St always plays great as an underdog, and I expect the same here. NC St goes on the road and hangs in, possibly even winning this game.

5 Penn St -11 Over Wisconsin - The battle for Big 10 supremacy in this game. Unfortunately for Wisky they have no defense. Penn St has one of the top D's in the country. Penn St has been unstoppable on offense and amazing on defense all year, and I expect a minimum of a 3 TD victory.

GOOD LUCK!
