It’s All Hallows Eve and we have a Big East Friday night tilt between West Virginia and South Florida. South Florida has been struggling a bit recently and I expect to see that trend continue tonight.

West Virginia -3

The Tarheels roll into Blacksburg this evening which means trouble is at the foot of Circle K. The Tarheels offense is stagnant generally and the Hokies have one heck of a D. I think this game is going way under!

Heels/Hokies under 43.5

The home team has won EVERY single Tuesday night college football game so far this year, but I think things change tonight. I look for ECU to win and cover the spread.

ECU -3.5

Thursday night football is here again and we have two teams from the ACC that are a bit off the rails currently. Florida State and UNC both had high hopes, but have not fulfilled those hopes one bit. One of these teams will step up tonight and I think that team is Florida State. I’m not going to give you that for my pick, but I think you should consider it strongly. Take the over 49!

Noles/Heels over 49

First of all I would like to apologize for not posting any picks this past weekend or Monday night. Unfortunately I was out of town part of the time and work is kicking my tail. We have an interesting Conference USA matchup tonight between Tulsa and UTEP and all signs point to a offensive show. I want to tell you to take the under, but instead I suggest you settle with UTEP +7.5. Good luck!

UTEP +7.5

Cincinnati is a very good team, but have they played a real stout team yet? Fresno, Miami Ohio, Oregon State, Rutgers and the list goes on. I know the schedule isn’t that much more impressive for the South Florida, but I’m leaning to them due to being at home this evening on national TV.

South Florida +2.5

Overall Record:

Boise State is on a mission for respect and even though Tulsa isn’t ranked they have been a pretty decent team over the last couple of years. The spread is a little high, but I’m going with the Broncos.

Boise State -8.5
Boise State/Tulsa under 53.5

Overall Record:

College Football 25-17 (this year) 130-108-1 (overall)

The weather forecast for tonight’s Sun Belt matchup looks flat out terrible so we are going to ride the under. There is a chance of 1 to 2 inches so it should be sloppy.

La Monroe/Arkansas State under 53.5
La Monroe -2

The Jets are 20-5-2 ATS in the last 27 meetings against the Dolphins and this year New York is 3-1 ATS. I expect the Dolphins to play well tonight at home, but the Jets win out in the end.

Jets -2
