Well I typed this up once and unfortunately lost it so the wittiness may not be here the 2nd time. Check out my articles on coversexperts.com on USF and Tulsa.
We always start with Temple and it's amazing how the spread in this game has gone down over the years going from 31.5 to 21 to 7.5 this year. I have absolutely no feel in this game. Temple has hung around with Navy lately but I dont know if i feel so confident this year. If the offense picks up, this will be an over and a Temple cover. If the Temple offense continues to suck, it'll be Navy and the under. No pick in this one.
The theme of these picks at least in the beginning is feeling dirty and going against teams and picks i don't like. I'm normally not on Minnesota but they have a juicy matchup against a banged up Northwestern team. No Sutton and most likely no Bacher either. Minnesota has been playing well as of late. Give me Minnesota -6.5.
Tulsa and Arkansas is such an intriguing game this week and was a line i know a lot of us were waiting for. Golden Hurricane -7 o/u 77. This is like playing with fire but give me under 77. Arkansas plays a little bit of defense and it's the most hostile environment Tulsa will play in this year.
Continuing with my backing of teams i cant believe i'd ever do, let's take an Irish team getting a short line against an overrated Pittsburgh squad. Granted Notre Dame is ridiculously inconsistent but with the uncertainty at QB. Irish -5.
Wake Forest is due to explode offensively. The team will welcome Duke with open arms into Winston Salem. The Blue Devils are also capable of putting up some points as well. It's going to be a back and forth game hopefully. Give me over 38
Any chance Tulane had at covering against LSU went out the window when Andre Anderson went out for the season. The only question is how motivated LSU will be for this game. Give me under 55.5 in this one. LSU's offense is so inconsistent that they may not put up 40 in this one.
To me this could be the easiest bet on the board and i'm glad i got on it early. The mediocrity of conference USA produces a ton of points. Southern Miss and UAB are no different. Joe Webb and Damian Fletcher are capable of putting up a couple TD's each. This game will be in the 60's or 70's. Give me Over 58.
Finally, give me the under in the Sunday night....Neither teams are overwhelming on offense and UCF is solid enough on defense. Give me under 51.5 in a game where neither team will hit 30.

Week 9 College Football picks
Week 1: 3-4
Week 2: 4-4
Week 3: 5-2
Week 4: 1-8
Week 5: 2-6
Week 6: 6-1
Week 7: 4-3
Week 8: 3-4
Week 9: 2-0 so far
How bout my Temple owls....we gave you guys the Under and the Owls and granted most of you were already on it but i'd like to stroke my ego a little bit so i can feel worth on this great board...hahah...The MAC east is within our sights....
Cincinnati and UConn are ridiculously inconsistent on offense so far this year. Pike is back for the Bearcats but they weren't exactly juggernauts with him under center this season. The Huskies are one sided with Donald Brown as well. Neither team is that good so i'll take Under 45.
The Big 12 has put up some crooked numbers offensively this year and some of the culprits include Kansas and Texas Tech. Neither team plays a lick of defense and TT has been ripe for the picking lately playing some bad games. The Jayhawks have yet to explode yet this year but i see a ton of points in this one. Over 67
BYU has another stellar offense...UNLV has weapons but i dont need too too much from them. The Cougars need to continue to pound their opponents for the BCS. They may put up 55 themselves. Gimme Over 55 in this one.
Alright, i'll bite...usually the SEC is traditionally an under conference. Death Valley at 3:30 is not quite as intimidating as it is at night. Georgia's offense should provide most of the fire in this game. I'll take under 48.5 in this one which is unusually high for an SEC game.
The only spread i really like this week is Arizona +16. The Wildcats are head and shoulders better at home and have the certain pieces to make this a close game. Willie Tuitama is a damn good quarterback and Antolin is running well in place of Grigsby. The foolish turnovers will have to stop but 16 is ridiculously high for a team who may win outright. Arizona +16.
Finally, the Ga Tech - UVA game is so intriguing to me. When it first came out, I was all over UVA +12 feeling the rush of the Hoos from the homestand. Then as the week continued i leaned more and more towards the Jackets. UVA's road history is hideous and while GT's offense is inconsistent, i feel it overrides the Hoos road history. No pick in this game but feet in the fire i'm takin GT -12.

Week 8 College Football Picks
Week 1: 3-4
Week 2: 4-4
Week 3: 5-2
Week 4: 1-8
Week 5: 2-6
Week 6: 6-1
Week 7: 4-3
Oh man, i can't wait for Tuesday night so the ESPN2 watching nation can watch the Owls in action. Obviously no pick from me yet in this game but i'll say this...with Adam DiMichele at the helm, the Owls are the 3rd best team in the MAC behind Ball State and maybe Central Michigan although we almost beat them with crap at QB. Pick on this game coming on Tuesday.
I'll start with the alma mater and USF this weekend. I'm not convinced the Cuse is gonna win the game but they've played with a pulse lately. USF is a massive favorite and rightfully so. The o/u is 49.5. I like the under....here's why....Cuse will play D but won't score much. USF will play D but will score more. Give me under 49.5
Nebraska...man what a fall they've had lately. This team's defense has been hideous and the offense hasn't been able to keep up. Iowa State has been an up and down team so far this year. Their QB Arnaud has been hot as of late. I like ISU +7 and would even consider a ML play on this. Cyclones are for real.
Staying in the Big 12...Oklahoma State is riding high off their upset of Missouri in their place. They return home with an upstart Baylor team. Baylor's offense is very underrated as is their QB Griffith. Sure in a conference with Bradford, McCoy, Daniel and Z. Robinson, you can get lost. This is going to be a video game score. Take the Over 68.5
For some reason Vegas hasn't learned yet. The Hoos are back! well at least at home....They wrap up a three game homestand with a wounded UNC team. The Heels lost Brandon Tate to an injury and he represented a large piece of their offense. Now Brooks Foster and Hakeem Nicks will need to step up. Give me the Hoos +5 in a game they may win outright.
I'm goin off the board with this one. I like UAB....with all my anger of the o/u loss in their last game, they were impressive. Joe Webb has weapons and while Marshall also has weapons, i'll take the home team. Give me UAB +3
Missouri and Texas go at it in the night game. Couldnt be a bigger contrasting momentum goin into this game. Texas a big win, Missouri a big loss....I'm goin with the loser....I think Missouri bounces back. Texas has the hangover effect and the Tigers will be able to capitalize if the Horns go any longer then a quarter to get it goin. Missou +6
Finally, I'm goin with Arizona. Weird things happen in that stadium and im not completely convinced about California. Willie Tuitama blows up bigtime and i think Zona wins outright. To be safe, give me the 3 points. AU +3

Week 1: 3-4
Week 2: 4-4
Week 3: 5-2
Week 4: 1-8
Week 5: 2-6
Week 6: 6-1
What a difference one week makes...last week i doubted my prowess at picking college football and doubted that Temple would ever win again. Both changed and in a big way. The Owls vaunted (yes i said vaunted) defense stepped up and did more then enough to take care of a weak Miami-Ohio Team.
Next up for the Owls is Central Michigan and the line was bet down from 10 to 7 in some areas. A lot of people have asked me about this game and I have thought hard about it. I just can't back Temple +7...just can't....This team's offense is way too inconsistent and CMU's is way too good. The Owls defense can hold CMU to 30 or so but I can't see the Owls getting to 20. Gimme Under 47.5 in what should be a low-scoring game. If DiMichele was playing, I'd be all over the Owls +7 or so but with Stewart forget it.
UVA continues their 2nd game of a 3 game homestand and now they host ECU. I was not a fan of the Pirates lately because of how they played. It seemed like UVA put it all together against an overrated Maryland team. They finally committed to the run...I think the good times continue in Charlottesville hopefully keeping Al Groh there. Gimme UVA +6.5
Man, i dont know why im backing Indiana again. They've burned me multiple times this year but Iowa is nothing special. They've done most of their damage at home. I feel like the Hoosiers will put it all together and win outright. Indiana +6
Rutgers and Cincinnati arent exactly the best offensively while the Bearcats defense has been nasty this year. I'll take Under 48 in a game that neither team will get to 30 for.
We have yet to see that big explosion from Kansas yet against an opponent with a pulse. Colorado may be that first test for them and i feel like their going to pass with flying colors. Because of this I like Over 54 in this game.
Tennessee has had a lot of issues this season but not on the defensive end. Their QB position has been hideous this year and hasnt been able to help Foster or Hardesty find running room. With that defense of theirs they could hold down Georgia. Under 42 here.
Here's my favorite pick of the week...Southern Mississippi has been an enigma this season losing at home to Marshall and UTEP but not embarrassing themselves against Auburn. Yet for some reason, im backing them at home against Boise. They've won at Oregon and held down Bowling Green. Give me USM +12.

Week 6 College Football Picks
Week 1: 3-4
Week 2: 4-4
Week 3: 5-2
Week 4: 1-8
Week 5: 2-6
Right now, im straight fade material on everything except my feel for the Temple Owls. I dont know what's been going wrong or what gambling god i've pissed off...Unfortunately the two bad weeks won't stop me from rolling along.
We start with the Owls who lost another tough game last week and could have been another win. Imagine if the Owls are 4-1 which they rightfully should be....man, i'd be in heaven. Alas, they are 1-4 but there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. Chester Stewart has been hurt....Vaughn Charlton in at QB for two weeks until the Ohio game when DiMichele is back. Miami-Ohio sucks...terrible terrible team...If DiMichele is at QB, Temple wins outright....with Charlton at QB, they keep it close. Unfortunately the inconsistency on offense prevents me from taking the 7. Gimme Under 41 in a 17-7 Temple loss.
Western Kentucky and Virginia Tech....a rivalry as old as a newborn child. The hokies are riding high off their big win over Nebraska but to be honest, i have no idea how they do it. Their passing attack is consistently one of the worst in the country. They return home to take on a Hilltopper team that hasnt really been that embarrassing this season taking their schedule into account. Gimme WKU +29 in a sleeper kind of game.
FSU and Miami renew acquaintances on Saturday and boy there will be a lot of talent on the field. The canes played one half of great football last week following it up with absolute ugliness as they led UNC win on their turf...BUT THE SWAGGER IS BACK....sorry had to get that out since the announcers had to pound that in my head. FSU has a solid defense. Gimme Under 43
Love the home dog...absolutely love them...especially in the SEC. I have yet to be impressed by Auburn....the spread offense doesnt work with them...they dont have the athletes. Vanderbilt does have the athletes. In what is expected to be a low scoring game, I'll take the home team with the guys who can make plays. Vanderbilt +4
I must be absolutely crazy....those who read my picks know i'm not the biggest UVA supporter...you could say im Colin Cowherd when it comes to the Hoos. They return home to host Maryland who i have no idea about....I correctly called the MTSU upset but thought they'd get pounded by Cal. This is a huge rivalry in the ACC. I can't believe im about to type this but.....Gimme UVA +14. This will be their best performance of the season.
Time to kick a dog while it's down....Washington stinks with Jake Locker....it's FIU-like without him. Arizona's offense revs up to the tune of 60 points on Washington. Gimme Cats -21
I hate Ohio State too....Hate wisconsin too....Being a bitter Michigan fan, Ohio State is gonna cream the Badgers. Wisky doesnt have the athletes to keep up with the Buckeyes. OSU -1.5
