We've cooled off a little since our hot streak as of late. Unfortunately, i've been getting heat for my picks from the listeners of Richmond Sports radio so improvement is needed.

Temple +8 -- Honestly, i couldn't believe this when i saw it. Granted the Owls are still Temple and don't deserve respect yet but c'mon. Ohio isn't that good to be getting 5 extra points on top of the homefield advantage. Temple could the extra week to implement a nice offensive package for Vaughn Charlton who has a cannon of an arm. The Owls have the best defense in the MAC.

Iowa State +14 -- K-State is so inconsistent. I know that ISU has been putrid but they've played their best ball at home staying close with Oklahoma and beating their rival Iowa. The Cyclone defense is respectable and all i think i need is 10 points from Meyer and Blythe in order to get a cover.

Troy +17 -- Classic case of an emotional win leading to a letdown performance. Troy is a solid squad and has played well at times this season. Georgia's offense is solid and steady but i have a feeling things could stay close with a chance for the cover.

UCF -14 -- The Knights are a different team at home. Marshall is a terrible team on the road. They got their lone win of the season and just won't be able to keep up with UCF. Smith goes of for 4 TD's in the win.

Alabama +7 -- Perriloux's absence may not seem like much but he provided a few things for LSU that Flynn couldn't. I really like the defense of the Tide to keep LSU in check. I smell a 24-21 win for the Tigers. A play on the under may be made as well.

TCU -3.5 -- Blake and Aaron Brown return for the Horned Frogs who will look to get back to the level everyone thought they were capable of. The team has been so inconsistent but i feel Blake's return motivates the D to their best effort of the season.

Toledo -8 -- This offense has exploded lately and will be no match for an EMU team that just can't score. The Rockets have a slight chance at a bowl game as well.

Texas A&M +21 -- Man, I can't figure this out....I mean the Aggies are struggling this year but their offense has a pulse. If they were smart, they'd run Lane 30 times and grind this game out. Unfortunately i have a feeling they won't and i'll be praying for a backdoor cover.
