NCAA Football Midseason Spectacular Saturday - FREE Winners Here!!!
October 24, 2009 by Crit Dahippo
Top College football picks for Saturday, October 24th.
HOME TEAM IN CAPS
Iowa PK over MICHIGAN STATE
Iowa has the inside track for the Rose Bowl and they won’t let up this week against the Spartans with 16-13 revenge on their minds from last year. Iowa brings the better run game and better defense against the Spartans.
Minnesota +16 ½ over Ohio State
The Golden Gophers might not score much in this game but they will do just enough to cover the spread against the horrible Buckeye offense. Terelle Pryor might be the worst throwing QB in the BIG 10. As long as Minnesota doesn’t give OSU and bunch of short field opportunities, this should be an easy cover for the Golden Gophers.
Auburn +7 ½ over LSU
LSU coach, Les Miles, is 0-12 as an SEC home favorite so we will go with the trend here and say Auburn will do enough offensively to keep it close, in what should be a very low scoring game. With that being said, we also like UNDER 50 1/2
Tcu -2 ½ over BYU
TCU has giving up 18 points or less in 17 out of the last 18 games. Last year TCU crushed BYU 32-7. Not much has changed this year, so this should be a win and cover for the visiting Horned Frogs with ESPN Gameday live from Provo, Utah. Look for Chris Fowler and the Gameday crew to bring back the no longer politically correct Utah state motto, ‘Be Quiet before I marry the both of you.’
Penn State -4 ½ over MICHIGAN
Michigan just isn’t very good yet and they have the 83rd rated defense in the NCAA. Rich Rodriguez is still trying to get it done with Lloyd Carr’s players and this is just not their time. Penn State should move the ball and control the game.
STANFORD -6 over Arizona State
The Cardinal return home after back to back road losses to face an Arizona State team that has won two in a row. The Cardinal is undefeated at home and have put up big numbers led by RB Toby Gerhart. We see the strong Stanford ground game and scrappy defense controlling this one.
Colorado +4 ½ over KANSAS STATE
Last week Kansas, this week Kansas State. Look for the improved Buffalos to again control this game and dominate the Wildcats especially in the ground game where the Colorado defense is giving up less than 50 yards per game. UPSET SPECIAL, take the Buffs on the $-line.
Some other selections we like:
Notre Dame vs. Boston College TOTAL points: OVER 55
Oklahoma vs. Kansas TOTAL points: OVER 54
Idaho vs. Nevada TOTAL points: OVER 67
