College Football Predictions

Picking Spread: 9-12

Picking Winners: 12-9

#5Boise State (5-0) at Tulsa (4-1): Sure Tulsa’s 4-1 but the only decent team they played this year was at Oklahoma in a 45-0 whooping. Boise beat #13 Oregon by 11 and won all their other games by double digits so there’s no reason they won’t cover the nine point spread tonight even on the road.

#3 Texas (5-0) vs. #20 Oklahoma (3-2): Texas will handle Oklahoma easily. Bradford’s back for the Sooners but who knows how healthy he is at this point. The Longhorns have a national championship to play for and Oklahoma’s season is a lost cause now that there aren’t any national title hopes. Take Texas by four.

Northwestern (4-2) at Michigan State (3-3): Every game except the first games played for each of these teams has been close. I think Michigan State will win because they’re at home, but they won’t cover the 14 point spread.

#4 Virginia Tech (5-1) at #19 Georgia Tech (5-1): Virginia Tech’s one of the best and complete teams in the nation. Their only loss came in the first game of the year (34-24) against #2 Alabama, who a lot of experts are calling the best team in the nation. Georgia Tech’s defense and passing attack are flawed. This should be a good conference game, but I’d take VT to cover the three point spread and solidify themselves as the best one loss team.

Great Matchups, Too Close To Call

#8Cincinnati (5-0)at #21South Florida(5-0): Someone’s got to lose. USF’s starting quarterback is injured, but they’re at home and the Bulls defense is great. The two best teams in the Big East are in the spot light Thursday night.

#11 Iowa (6-0) at Wisconsin (5-1): Somehow Wisconsin is picked to win by two and a half. Iowa gets no respect, even after beating Penn State.

#6 USC (4-1) at #25 Notre Dame (4-1): Charlie Weis can push that hot seat all the way across the room if the Fighting Irish find a way to win.

Arkansas (3-2) at #1 Florida (5-0): Arkansas offense is one of the best in the country. Alabama beat Arkansas 35-7 at home earlier this year. The way Florida plays on defense and the outcome of this game will determine whether the Gators will remain number one or if Alabama can pass them once the BCS standings come out.
