The last time I posted picks I went 4-for-4. I don’t expect to go 100% this weekend, but I got a good feeling about these games. Here are my college football and NFL picks for the weekend:
Friday Night:
Illinois goes into Fresno State for either embarrassment or to solidify their bowl hopes. Both teams are going to a bowl, but this game will have a say in how much money they get in their bowl game. Both offenses are potent and will put up points in what should be a shootout.
Take the Over 58 1/2
==============================
The MAC Championship is actually a pretty fun game to watch. No weather issues because the game is in Ford Field Dome. Northern Illinois comes in winners of 9 in-a-row including last weeks 70-3 romp over Eastern Michigan a. NI has averaged 46 points during their winning streak and I don’t think Miami Ohio can stop them considering they give up over 330 yards per game.
Give the 17 1/2 and take Northern Illinois
=====================================
Saturday Games:
Rutgers is horrible and West Virginia is hoping to get into the Orange Bowl as the Big ‘Least’ representative.
Give the 21 pts and take West Virginia
===========================
Boise is pissed and they will take their anger out on Utah State on the Blue Turf.
Give the 39 1/2 pts and take Boise State
============================
Nevada got the big win against Boise last week and now must try and come down from that high against a Louisiana Tech team that can score as well.
Take the 9 1/2 pts and La Tech at home
============================
Sunday NFL action:
KC at home versus a Denver team that got worked at home by Sam Bradford. Easy call.
Give the 9 pts and take KC
========================
Troy Smith versus Aaron Rogers. Umm, no contest in frigid Lambeau.
Give the 10 pts and take Green Bay
========================
Indy can’t stop anyone and they can’t run the ball. Dallas comes in with a new swagger and will get after Peyton so he will have another interception laden game.
Take the 5 1/2 pts and Dallas
