Well, my friends, the college season is winding down and much too soon, as there are only 14 games to choose from this Saturday. So I only have a few picks, with a little luck they will all be winners.

I think, one of the best bets on the card is Houston on the road giving East Carolina 2 ½ points in the CUSA Championship game. Houston is just on a mission this year and I think this game is theirs to win or lose. Houston’s QB, Case Keenum has an incredible 38 touchdowns with only 6 interceptions. I just can’t see how East Carolina can compete with that as their QB has 13 TDs and 10 INTs. The line is small but I think the final will be much wider that 2 ½ points, possibly as much as 14.

I also like California on the road at Washington laying 6 ½ points. Cal is a strong 5-1 ATS the last 6 meetings in Washington and are very much the better team here with or without Best. A very interesting stat is the Washington is 0-3 SU losing by an average of 49-9 during the regular season after playing Washington State. Look for Cal to win and cover this game by a comfortable margin.

My last best bet this week is Wisconsin laying 12 ½ points on the road against Hawaii. Last time Wisconsin played Hawaii on the island they won by 17, I see no reason why they can’t do it again. Wisconsin hasn’t played since November 21st when they lost to Northwestern, look for them to come out fresh and just lay the wood to the much smaller Hawaii team. Lay the 12 ½ this should be for fun.

Other games I like as regular plays are Illinois at home giving Fresno State 3.
Rutgers at home giving West Virginia 1 ½. Louisiana Tech at home giving San Jose State 23 ½ . And in some of the big games I like the favorites Texas -14 ½, Florida -5 ½ and Georgia Tech -1. I would take my Boise State Smurfs but they are an incredible 47 ½ point favorite over New Mexico State. How bad is NMS is my question ??

My dogs this week are Arizona on the road at USC getting 7, Florida Atlantic on the road getting 1 ½ from FIU and I like Pittsburgh getting 2 points on the road at Cincinnati.

As for my over/under bets
I already hit with my over 62 in the Oregon State/Oregon game.
Others I like are
the over 57 in the Wisconsin/Hawaii game,
the over 53 ½ in the Ohio/Central Michigan game (FRIDAY),
the over 69 in the Houston/East Carolina game,
and the over 58 in the New Mexico State/Boise State game,

Well, that’s it for another week, I will be back shortly with my pro picks.

As always bet with your head not over it :
