CFB Predictions (Week 10)

This is done for the hell of it. If you decide you want to use what I am posting, you are doing so at your own risk.
(ATS w/ $ 11-19 (58%). ATS no $ 14-25 (56%). SU 39-45 (87%).

Games I would (and probably have) put money on (my picks in GREEN):

Temple 12 Navy 28 (Navy -7)

Utah 33 New Mexico  20 (Utah -7.5)

Missouri 48 Baylor 23 (Missouri -21.5)

San Jose St 36 Idaho 17 (SJSU -16.5)

Texas Christian 35 UNLV 17 (TCU -14)



Games I would love to put money on, but have no guts:

Iowa St @ Oklahoma St (-30.5)
The other Oklahoma team that is also doing very well this season. The loss to Texas last week was a heartbreaker. Iowa St is not doing very well and the only question is how much will they lose by. I'm not sure OkSt is going to cover the spread.

Tulsa @ Arkansas (Tulsa -7)
I really like the unbeaten Tulsa and David Johnson, their QB. I think they are going to pull this game off but this is a Conference USA team against a SEC team. Unfortunately, my bias will always be there. 

Tennessee @ South Carolina (SC -6)
Tennessee is looking terrible, they are close to the bottom of the NCAA Div 1 offense ranking. They can hardly move the ball. I think that is all that needs to be said. But, South Carolina has not been consistent and I am picking them but not with a whole lot of confidence.

Nebraska @ Oklahoma (Oklahoma -21.5)
I think OU can do it. The Cornhuskers are not the Cornhuskers of the past BUT, this is a huge rivalry game and in rivalry games, anything can happen. I predict the Sooners are going to win, just not with confidence they can cover the spread.

Washington St @ Stanford (Stanford -30)
As I have written many times this season, and the debate is actually on, this is a extremely horrible Wazzu team. The debate on whether this might actually be the worse Pac 10 team ever is not going to make them any better. The only reason they are not winless like their other in-state brother is they played a Div 1-AA Portland St. Stanford on the other hand is starting to show some signs of life under Jim Harbaugh. They are 2 games away from being bowl eligible for the first time in forever and better pick up this game as the rest of the way (Oregon, USC and Cal) is going to be a much tougher road. Just unsure of the spread.

Washington @ USC (USC -46)
0-7 and no coach. I try to stay away from such high spreads because I don't think college teams try to embarrass each other very much any more. But then again, the Huskies might show up like Wazzu and not even attempt to stop the Trojans. Remember, the Trojans only threw 2 passes all of the second half and still ended the game with 69 points. 


Huge games this weekend:

You know how I would like this one to go. Especially after the Cameron Colvin special last year... Oregon is looking like it's QB problems are behind them, but playing in Berkeley is always a challenge. 

(5)Florida @ (8)Georgia
Is Georgia going to have a huge letdown after that big win at LSU last week? I like Georgia in this game but Florida is looking for revenge from the end zone gimmick and the beating they got from Georgia last year. This will be a great game.

(1)Texas @ (6)texas Tech
This is going to be a shootout. TT is on a 10 game win streak and the Longhorns are on a 9 game win streak. Graham Harrell is playing like a stud but so is Colt McCoy. I would love the Red Raiders to win this game, but I think the Longhorns are just going to pull this one off.
