Last week, I set the bar pretty high for my college picks, so hopefully I will be able to continue with winners this week. So here are my picks.

Once again I will start with a Friday night game, and this pick I like as one of my regular plays. I like TCU, laying 17 points, on the road at SMU. Even though this is the first road game of the season for TCU, they are very tough on the road and are on a 4-0 ATS streak as double digit road favorites. TCU is on a mission this year and I don’t see SMU staying with the Frogs. Lay the 17 points and enjoy the game, TCU will win this game by at least 3 TDs.

My first pick this week on Saturday goes to Kansas at home giving New Mexico State 22 ½ points.  This is just a plain old fashion mismatch. Kansas will not take anyone lightly now after the loss at home this year to North Dakota State. Kansas is 4-0 ATS versus WAC opponents, and they are also coming home off a road loss, not good news for the Aggies. Look for Kansas to score on both offense and defense in this game and take no prisoners. This should be a blowout. I will also make this a Best Bet.

My next choice again this week is Utah this time they are home, playing San Jose State and giving them 31 points. I know these point spreads are getting outrageous but the polls not only see if a team wins but by how much and teams like Utah have to score a lot to get a little attention, and so it goes. Utah is currently 3-0-1 ATS their last 4 at home as favorites and this will add 1 to the streak. Utah will win and cover, it’s just a matter of when.

Next pick this week goes to Connecticut (UConn) at home giving Buffalo 20 points. UConn is off a tough loss on the road at Temple and comes home to face a Buffalo team that they can definitely take their frustrations out on. The Huskies haven’t loss to Buffalo since 2001 and since that time are 5-0 ATS and SU. Look for UConn to pull away in this game in the second half and give us the cover. Lay the 20 points, UConn will cover.

Last pick this week goes to Air Force on the road at Wyoming laying 13 ½  points. Wyoming hasn’t beaten Air Force since 2005, and Wyoming is on a 2 game losing streak giving up 85 points and only scoring 13. Air Force is off a heartbreaking loss to Oklahoma, but they ran for 351 yards, against a tough Oklahoma defense. Wyoming gave up over 600 yards of offense last week to Boise State, and if you think about the way Air Force runs the ball Wyoming might only get a few chances to score the whole game. This won’t be a pretty game, Air Force will run the ball on long drives and wear down a very porous Wyoming defense. Air Force will win and cover the number.

Well, I’ve got to tell you once again I find a number of live dogs this week in college. I like Boston College at home getting 4 points from Virginia Tech. I think Georgia will win on the road at Mississippi State getting a point. Believe it or not I think Arkansas will keep the game at home within the 7 points they are getting from Alabama. I like South Carolina on the road at Auburn getting 3 points, this game could go into OT. And finally I like California on the road at Arizona getting 6 ½ points.

I have a few over/unders this week I like – over 55 in the TCU/SMU game. The over 50 ½ in the New Mexico State/Kansas game, the over 42 in the UCLA/Texas game. And finally I like the over 48 ½ in the Kentucky/Florida game.

I have a few leaning towards, South Florida at home giving Western Kentucky 27 points, Indiana at home giving Akron 22 ½ points. I am also leaning towards Texas at home to cover the 15 ½ points against UCLA. I am leaning towards my Smurfs (Boise State) again this week, at home to cover the 18 ½ points against Oregon State. And finally I like Northwestern at home giving Central Michigan 6 ½ points.

I will be back again on Saturday night with my pro picks for Sunday and Monday.

As always bet with your head not over it :)
