YOUR WINNING SPORTS PICKS
AS WE HEAD INTO WEEK 3 OF THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON WITH A 8-3 MARK WITH OUR BEST BETS, WE SUBMIT TO YOU A HUGE CARD OF 7 BEST BETS FOR THE WEEKEND ALONG WITH A FEW STRONG OPINIONS. BE SURE TO GET ABOARD FOR ALL THE WINNINGS. BELOW ARE LEANS FOR THE REST OF THE LINEUP.
WEST VIRGINIA (-10) VS. Maryland: This is a down spot for Maryland this week as they come in off a huge upset win over Navy where they got incredibly lucky. The extreme high the team felt last week will allow them to not come into this one with optimum efficiency and the Mountaineers always give a great effort at home. PICK: West Virginia (-10)
NORTH CAROLINA (-1.5) VS. Georgia Tech: North Carolina continues to deal with suspensions which looms over them again this week. That makes handicapping this game almost impossible so we will pass this up here. PICK: PASS
VIRGINIA TECH (-20) VS. East Carolina: THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR BEST BETS FOR THE WEEK AND IS FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY.
Alabama (-23.5) VS. DUKE: Look for Alabama QB Greg McElroy to have a good game here against the very porous Duke pass defense. Duke has actually been pretty decent this season which is something you can say too often about them but there is no way they will be able to deal with all of the weaponry on this Tide offensive unit. PICK: Alabama (-23.5)
FLORIDA STATE (-10) VS. BYU: This is a tough game to call as STATE looked like they couldnt play with the big boys last week against Oklahoma. QB Christian Ponder had a game to forget but he should perk up here against a much friendlier BYU pass defense. Riley Nelson and Jake Heaps have been ordinary for the Cougars behind center so the may not have enough to keep up with Ponder. PICK: Florida State (-10)
AUBURN (-7) VS. Clemson: THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR STRONG OPINIONS FOR THE WEEK AND IS FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY.
STANFORD (-17) VS. Wake Forest: THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR BEST BETS FOR THE WEEK AND IS FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY.
UConn (-6.5) VS. TEMPLE: Bernard Pierce might sit this one out for Temple but they have good depth at RB and should be able to hang with Uconn here at home. Temple is in a good home underdog spot as the qualify for a 21-10-1 ATS angle. I am not crazy about their defense but the situation looks good. PICK: Temple (+6..5)
OREGON STATE (-20) VS. Lousiville: THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR BEST BETS FOR THE WEEK AND IS FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY.
ILLINOIS (-7) VS. Northern Illinois: Northern Illinois has played better since installing Chandler Harnish at QB as the passing game has finally opened up a bit. They are in a letdown spot here however as they qualify for a 34-53-1 ATS angle. The Illini offense has been pretty poor themselves but they should be able to do enough against a bad Northern Illinois defense to get the cover. PICK: Illinois (-7)
PENN STATE (-21) VS. Kent State: Penn State should get back on track this week but Kent State has weapons of their own with a pretty stout defense along with emerging QB Spencer Keith. Penn State QB Robert Bolden is going to be great but he still will have struggling moments due to his inexperience so a close game is more likely than a STATE blowout. PICK: Kent State (+21)
PURDUE (-16.5) VS. Ball State: Ball State is coming off a terrible loss to Liberty and they are among the worst teams in all of college football. Purdue knows this going in and they wont let up from the beginning of the game to the end. Robert Marve has struggled much of the season for Purdue but they have the clear edge on both sides of the ball here. PICK: Purdue (-16.5)
OHIO STATE (-30) VS. Ohio: THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR BEST BETS FOR THE WEEK AND IS FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY.
USC (-11.5) VS. MINNESOTA: THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR BEST BETS FOR THE WEEK AND IS FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY.
WISCONSIN (-14) VS. Arizona State: THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR BEST BETS FOR THE WEEK AND IS FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY.
Indiana (-12) VS. WESTERN KENTUCKY: Indiana is in a bad spot here as they qualify for a 37-63-1 ATS road favorite angle that plays against poor teams like the Hoosiers. Indiana has a terrible run defense and so Western Kentucky is going to have a big advantage here due to their ability running the ball. PICK: Western Kentucky (+12)
Northwestern (-6.5) VS. RICE: Rice has played better than I thought they would and they are in a good home underdog spot here as evidenced by a 45-23-1 ATS angle they apply to. Northwestern has a tremendous running back but Rice has the ability to move the ball also. PICK: Rice (+6.5)
MICHIGAN STATE (-3.5) VS. Notre Dame: THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR STRONG OPINIONS FOR THE WEEK AND IS FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY.
Iowa (-1.5) VS. ARIZONA: Arizona is the clear play here as they qualify for a 28-9-1 ATS home underdog angle and you got to be worried about Iowa going out to the West Coast here. Thats always a bad spot for non-West Coast teams and that is confirmed but the angle here. PICK: Arizona (+1.5)
SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI (-5.5) VS. Kansas: THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR BEST BETS FOR THE WEEK AND IS FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY.
Kansas State (-3.5) VS. Iowa State: This one is being played in a neutral site and it is a very tough game to call based on angles going in both directions. Kansas State grades out slightly better on offense and that is always a good tie-breaker to go with. PICK: Kansas State
COLORADO (-12.5) VS. Hawaii: Hawaii has been very impressive on offense and they gave USC a good game in Week 1. Colorado on the other hand has a poor offense and shouldnt be giving this many points to anyone. Hawaii has some negative trends but they are getting a nice bit of points here. PICK: Hawaii (+12.5)
OKLAHOMA (-16.5) VS. Air Force: Oklahoma looks legit after knocking off Miami last week but they could be in a letdown spot here. You know pretty much that Air Force is going to run all game long but Oklahoma has been pretty good at defending it. The Sooners offense is inconsistent so who knows what type of performance you are going to get. This game is best left alone. PICK: PASS
Nebraska (-3) VS. WASHINGTON: This is another interesting game as Washington is a live home underdog here. They qualify for a 44-23-1 ATS home underdog angle but Nebraska on paper should get it done as they have a major talent edge. This is a game that is best to be avoided. PICK: PASS
TCU (-21.5) VS. Baylor: Baylor have a chance here with QB Robert Griffin looking like a top end starter. TCU is not in vintage form on defense and you know Baylor will be stoked for this gamae against an in-state foe. PICK: Baylor (+21.5)
OKLAHOMA STATE (-6.5) VS. Tulsa: Oklahoma State is in a nice spot here as they qualify for a 55-28-2 ATS home game angle against an in-state foe. Both teamas have battled inconsistency but State has the edge in value. PICK: Oklahoma State (-6.5)
TEXAS A @ M (-2 VS. Florida International: Florida International game Rutgers a decent game and have been better than advertised. The same can be said of a Texas A @ M team that is showing a pretty stout defense. This is a ton of points to lay for an unproven team though. PICK: Florida International (+2
MISSOURI (-14) VS. San Diego State: San Diego State has been solid so far this year but Missouri has the edge on both sides of the ball. Ryan Lindley has been very impressive so far for STATE but their best weapon runs into the Missouri defense's top strength which is their secondary. That should neutralize the Aztek attack and allow Missouri to score a comfortable win. PICK: Missouri (-14)
TEXAS (-3) VS. Texas Tech: Coach Timmy Tubberville has reigned in the Tech passing attack somewhat but the man is a great coach. He will have this team as a big time threat very soon. That could start this week against an overrated Texas team that is living off past performance. The upset possibilities are very real here from a scheme perspective but unfortunately there are no solid trends to back Tech. This game smells like an upset to us though. PICK: Texas Tech (+3)
SMU (-23) VS. Washington State: Washington State has the makings of a good team down the road but they are overmatched here. SMU will be able to run the ball all day against the terrible State defense and that will allow them to dictate play. PICK: SMU (-23)
Troy State (-3.5) VS UAB: Two ugly looking teams. Not interested. PICK: PASS
Middle Tennessee (-4) VS. MEMPHIS: Memphis is trying to find its way under a new coaching staff but they did better last week in losing to East Carolina. I like the fact they are getting more than a field goal at home against a Middle Tennessee State that goes through dry spells on offense. PICK: Memphis (+4)
Central Florida (-7.5) VS BUFFALO: Angles going in both directions in this game. Not worth it. PICK: PASS
Marshall (-3) VS. BOWLING GREEN: This is a big letdown spot for Marshall coming off their game against West Virginia last week. Bowling Green getting points as a home underdog make this an even bettre bet. PICK: Bowling Green (+3)
TEXAS EL PASO (-15.5) VS. New Mexico State: This is a lot of points for El Paso to lay after both teams were destroyed last week. I dont like games that fall under this scenario. PICK: PASS
Houston (-3) VS. UCLA: Dangerous game for Houston who are clearly the superior team but UCLA is always dangerous at home. The Bruins though have been horrid this season and Houston is close enough in location that the travel wont be much of an issue. PICK: Houston (-3)
ARMY (-5.5) VS, North Texas: North Texas has big problems as they have lost QB Nathan Tune for the season. In such a scenario, it usually takes a team at least one game to find their bearings without their leading passer. PICK: Army (-5.5)
Navy (-3) VS. LOUISIANA TECH: Navy will be looking to take out their frustrations from last week's heartbreaker against Maryland on Tech this week and they should get the job accomplished. Tech has a terrible run defense and that goes right into Navy's strength. PICK: Navy (-3)
MICHIGAN STATE (-3.5) VS. Notre Dame: As sure as the sun coming up in the morning, Notre Dame struggles at MSU. This is a trend that has gone back awhile over a few different coaching regimes and should be no different here. The extra half point doesnt allow me to make it a BEST BET but ND will have issues all game dealing with the State pressure. PICK: Michigan State (-3.5)
MIAMI OHIO (-7.5) VS Colorado State: When you get two poor offensive teams meeting, the rule is to always take the points. This is a nice haul of points as Miami Ohio has struggled to score just as much as CSU. PICK: Colorado State (-7.5)
Central Michigan (-10) VS. EASTERN MICHIGAN: THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR STRONG OPINIONS FOR THE WEEK AND IS FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY.
KENTUCKY (-24.5) VS. Akron: Akron is the one in a bad spot here as they qualify for a 34-62-7 ATS angle that plays against road teams. Kentucky looks decent on offense and Akron should be accomodating due to the fact theit defense has been like a sieve. PICK: Kentucky (-24.5)
WESTERN MICHIGAN (-3.5) VS. Toledo: There are angles going both ways in this game so its best to avoid. PICK: PASS
UTAH (-22.5) VS. New Mexico: There is almost no way you can think about taking New Mexico right now as they have been possibly the worst team in college football. Utah on the other hand has shown decent ability on both sides of the ball and they figure to coast here. PICK: Utah (-22.5)
Boise State (-23) VS. WYOMING: Boise State is refreshed after opening the year with a win over Virginia Tech which is not looking as good right now due to the latter's loss to James Madison. Still they are a machine against non-BCS teams and they will get it done here. PICK: Boise State (-23)
