College Football Predictions

So Far This Year

Picking Spread: 9-10

Picking Winners: 10-9

This Week

I like nearly all the spreads so most the games are too close to call, but I found two games I feel confident in picking.

-Baylor (3-1) at #19 Oklahoma (2-2): The Sooners will cover the 28 point spread. This year Oklahoma either wins blow outs or loses close games and I don’t see this one being close.

-Michigan (4-1) at #12 Iowa (5-0): Take Iowa to win and cover the eight point spread. Iowa went to Penn State and won by more than eight and Michigan is coming off a tough loss at Michigan State. I expect the Wolverines to come out flat in Iowa.

Games With Meaning:

#1 Florida at #4 LSU: Under the lights in Baton Rouge is never easy, especially when Tim Tebow isn’t healthy and his backup hasn’t started in a game near this big in his life. If anyone can talk a guy into being confident and believing in his self it’s Tebow, but he might not speak much sense with that concussion.

#3 Alabama (5-0) at #20 Mississippi (3-1): Another SEC slaughborknocker. There is no other conference close to the talent and excitement of the SEC.

#17 Auburn (5-0) at Arkansas (2-2): The Tigers face a rough road rivalry match up. Auburn tries not to get burned by the Razorbacks in Arkansas. This will be a close hard hitting game.

#22 Georgia Tech (4-1) at Florida State (2-3): This could be a reeeeaally long year for the Seminoles. Bowden needs this win at home to cool down his critics for at least another week.

#13 Oregon (4-1) at UCLA (3-1): The Ducks are more talented than the Bruins but all bets are off when on the road in college football. The Bruins aren’t too bad themselves, their only loss came at a strong Stanford team last week. This will come down to the wire.
