Our picks in BOLD

THURSDAY
Texas @ Texas A&M (+22) 
The Aggies are looking to avenge last years 49-9 thumping by the Longhorns. The Aggies might have what it takes to at least keep this close until halftime. They feature a good ground game, which if used right, can control the clock and keep the ball out of Colt McCoy’s hands. We like getting more than 3 TD’s in this match up.

FRIDAY 
Pittsburgh @ West Virginia (+2)
Let’s face it, we just don’t trust Dave Wannstedt when he has a little prosperity, or at all for that matter. In this year’s edition of the Backyard Brawl, with West Virginia having the home crowd behind them, we see this as a close game throughout. The Mountaineers take control in the 4th quarter however, and win this outright.

Alabama @ Auburn (+11 1/2) 
The Iron Bowl is one of college football’s greatest rivalries. Auburn was shutout last year so we see them with extra motivation this time around to avenge last year. Alabama just doesn’t have enough offense to blow out the Tigers this year. We like the home team getting points.

Illinois @ Cincinnati (-18)
The Bearcats welcome back QB Tony Pike to their Big East leading offense and combine that with one of the best defenses in the nation, we don’t think the Illini stand a chance. This game is the boat race of the day! 

Check back Saturday for more college picks.

NCAA College Football Rivalry Weekend - November 21st, 2009

Here are PICKS4PLAYERS BEST BETS in College Football for November 21st.

 

As we head into the final few weeks of the college football season, your team at Picks4Players is ready to give you an edge as we handicap the games important to the bowl chase and those rivalries which make college football great!  We have gone 10-6 over the past 2 weeks and look to stay on the winning side this week with the following picks.  There is no single game that stands out to us this week so we view these as equal opportunities to fatten your account.

 

Our pick in BOLD

 

Mississippi State @ Arkansas (-11)

The Razorbacks are averaging over 50 points per game at home scoring over 150 points in their last 3 games.  Mississippi State wiill be playing with a let down coming off of the Alabama game.  With the offense clicking on all cylinders, look for Arkansas to use their potent passing attack to run away with this one.

 

Cal @ Stanford (-7)

The is the battle for the Stanford Axe and the Cardinal is playing this in revenge from last year’s drubbing.  Stanford also has everything to play for including a shot at the Rose Bowl while the Golden Bears are just playing out the string. The Stanford offense is the difference in this one.

 

Ohio State (-12) @ Michigan

It doesn’t get much easier than this, the Wolverines defense is horrrrrrible and the Ohio State offense is clicking while the Buckeye defense has been dominant and Michigan’s offense sputters.  This one could be a boat race.

 

LSU @ Mississippi (-4)

Ole Miss is chasing LSU in the standings and should be fired up to play their rivals to the west.  LSU QB Jordan Jefferson is banged up and may not play which will limit an already weak LSU offense.  The Rebels are playing with a cause, scoring over 40 points per game at home this year.

 

Kentucky (+9 1/2) @ Georgia

The Wildcats have won 4 of 5 and are playing some good football as they go “between the hedges” in Athens.  Georgia’s offense will have to find some offense as they will be missing star WR A.J. Green.  Look for this to be a low scoring game with Kentucky hanging close all the way.

 

Oregon @ Arizona OVER 60

Last year these 2 teams scored 100 points in a 55-45 game.  We don’t think much has changed, as both these teams will not be able to stop the other on a fast track in the desert

 

Kansas @ Texas (-27)

Does anyone believe Kansas will be playing this with any emotion?  They are playing to get their coach, ‘PacMan’ Mangino fired for cause, and for eating the team’s offensive coordinator.  Texas QB Colt McCoy turns up the Heisman heat with 5 TD passes in a huge win.
