Its
been up and down as the regular season has gone on,
but this week I'm making up for the Gong Show weeks,
and straight picking money makers left and right. Don't
get left out, these are the hot picks for this week
in the College ranks.
TOP
5 Bets
1.
Boise State
2. Southern Methodist
3. Oregon
4. Texas
5. West Virginia
Texas
A&M Aggies @ Texas Longhorns (-13): 5 out
of the last 6 match-ups between these teams have ended
in a win for the Longhorns of 13 points or more. The
only game that didn't see the Horns hooking the Aggies
by more than 13, an 11 point win by Texas last season.
Look for yet another Longhorn win!
Oregon
Ducks (+3) @ Oregon State Beavers: Just to show
how big of a gong-show the entire Pac-10 is, the Ducks,
who got trounced by the Trojans, will spank the Beavers,
who handed USC their only loss thus far. I think the
Big East is a stronger conference than the Pac-10. Hell,
I know it is! The Ducks walk in this interstate showdown.
Cincinnati
Bearcats (-3.5) @ Connecticut Huskies: UCONN doesn't
have a chance in this game. This is what I'm talking
about, the Big East has a nice group of top level talent.
The Bearcats are one of those top tier teams that will
upset some "major conference" squads in bowl
play. Mark my words. Cinci wins easily here.
Syracuse
Orange (+15) @ Rutgers Scarlet Knights: After finally
seeing their perfect season deteriorate, the Knights
will have a tough one against the Orange. Syracuse won't
win, don't get me wrong, but they will put up a fight
against the Knights.
South
Carolina Gamecoks @ Clemson Tigers (-5): After
a week of Steve Spurrier rumors, the Old Ball Coach
heading to Miami to take over a struggling Hurricane
squad, something tells me the Gamecocks won't play inspired
football. God knows they aren't good enough to play
poorly and win, so expect the Clemson Tigers to take
advantage of that situation and get a big win. Did I
mention that they are the better team? Its true.
South
Florida Bulls @ West Virginia Mountaineers (-21):
The Mounties have dominated at home this season, and
are playing as well as they've played all year. The
Bulls are a formidable opponent, but that won't stop
the Mounties from mounting a dominating win at home.
Pat White and Steve Slaton for president!
Southern
Methodist Mustangs (+4) @ Rice Owls: I fully expect
the Mustangs to win this contest. This will be Rice's
4th home game this season, and they'll look to win one
for their home fans, but SMU is the better team here,
despite the similar record. The Owls have been eeking
out close wins while SMU has been pretty solid. Take
the underdog here!
Louisville
Cardinals (-10.5) @ Pittsburgh Panthers: 4 straight
losses for the Panthers? Make that 5. Yes sir, the Cardinals
are still one of the Nation's best teams, and the Panthers
are still on a 4 game losing streak that doesn't look
to be stopping any time soon. The Panthers have always
been front runners, and God knows what a 4 game tank
job does to front runners. The Cards should cover with
ease on the road in this one.
Oklahoma
Sooners (-5.5) @ Oklahoma State Cowboys: OK State
will get handled in this one. A Sooner team that keeps
getting better each week will come into their biggest
rivals home turf and dominate from kickoff 'till game
over.
Boise
State Broncos (-2.5) @ Nevada Wolfpack: LOL! The
Broncos have had 2 close games all season long. This
one may be close, because Nevada has some talent, but
there is a reason the Broncos are undefeated. I have
a pretty good feeling Boise State will run the table
this year, and that makes betting on this game a given.
Nevada isn't this good.
Notre
Dame Fighting Irish @ USC Trojans (-7): The Irish
have a better team, but I have a feeling they'll come
out flat against USC, something that won't be tolerated,
and won't be taken lightly by the Trojans. An early
lead for USC is almost a guarantee. I hope this game
is closer than I expect it to be.
