Michigan @ Minnesota
Best Pick = Michigan -9.5
Michigan is going to be in the hunt for the
national title up till their last game vs. Ohio
St. Minnesota seems to be an underachiever this
year and won't be able to hang with the big boys
like Michigan. The Wolverines went in to South
Bend and crushed Notre Dame 47-21. They should
win by 14 or more in their second road contest
of the year.
-------------------------------------------------
Alabama @ Florida
Best Pick = Florida -14
Florida just has way to much firepower for
Alabama to even stay close in this one,
expecially being at the swamp. Kentucky
played Florida semi tough last week, so some
might think Florida is slipping some, but every
team is going to have a below average game once
in awhile. Alabama is coming off a rough 1 point
loss to Arkansas as well, which probably let a
bit of air out of their balloon.
------------------------------------------------
Rutgers @ South Florida
Strong Pick = Rutgers -3.5
Rutgers cracked the top 25 this week and are
starting to get some respect. Led by running back
Ray Rice,they should put up big numbers against an
overated 3-1 team in South Florida. Two of South
Florida's wins were by a combined 8 points against
two lousy teams. Rutgers will also have a bye week
after this one and would love to be 5-0 heading
into it,which would make them the big men on campus
for the next two weeks.
---------------------------------------------------
California @ Oregon St.
Strong Pick = California -9.5
Cal has beaten there last 3 opponents by 26 pts
or more, and that includes last weeks stomping
of No.22 ranked Arizona State. Their only loss
was in the season opener against a really good
Tennessee team. Oregon State (2-1) have beaten
Eastern Washington and Idaho, which isn't
saying much, and when they played a tuffer
opponent in Boise State, they got romped 42-14.
------------------------------------------------
Ohio St. @ Iowa
Strong Pick = Ohio St. -7
Anytime you can get the number 1 team in the
nation and only spot the other team one score,
I think it's worth the risk. Iowa is a good team
who is 4-0, but they have not played anyone tuff
yet. Ohio St. has played 2 ranked opponents thus
far including the defending champion Texas, and
won both games decisevely. They're also coming
off a sub par game against Penn State, and it's
not to often a top 10 team, let alone the number
1 team, has two sub par outings back to back.
-------------------------------------------------
Houston @ Miami
Regular Pick = Miami -16
Miami Will more than likely want to beat up on
someone after getting beat up by Louisville last
week. Houston is 4-0,playing a 1-2 team and
getting 16. That should tell you something right
there. Miami's season will be a major
disapointment if they don't win here on out,and
do it big. Miami's coach is also on the hot seat
with the fans after starting the season 1-2,and
will try to put on a show for the home crowd in
this one.
-------------------------------------------------
USC @ Washington St.
Regular Pick = Washington St. +17
Washington St. bring a 3-1 record into there
biggest game of the year against USC. Washington
is a good team with a good defense who won't be
able to stop USC's offense, but somewhat contain
them. USC WR Dwayne Jarret, won't be playing
because of a shoulder injury. This is a big loss
for the Trojans. Jarret is their biggest playmaker
and will be a first rounder in next years NFL draft.
I look for Washington to hang tuff in this one, and
atleast get a back door win being spotted 17 points.
