Weekend Picks

The weekends picks...

Clemson (24) at Duke +16

The Tigers are 5-2 ATS against an opponent with a losing record and even though the home team is 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings, Duke is just too beat up defensively in the front four to keep up with Spiller and Davis.

Pick: Clemson -16

Wisconsin (19) at Ohio State (1) -15

This game is always played very tough and the road team is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Wisconsin is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. The Buckeyes defense is stout, but the Wisconsin offense has found its groove in their last couple games, outscoring their opponents 77-6. Take the points.

Pick: Wisconsin +15

Vanderbilt at Florida (17) -14.5

After my Dawgs went down and upset the Gators last week, I can't see anything but an absolute blowout in the Swamp. The Commodores have played teams tough this season, but Florida has too much talent to have lost 3/4 games. Take Tebow and the Gators to rebound from last week and put a hurtin' on Vandy.

Pick: Florida -14.5

Troy at Georgia (10) -16

I don't like Georgia to cover this game at all. Troy is 6-2 ATS this season and the Dawgs are 1-4 ATS in their last five games where they are picked by 10.5 or greater. The Bulldogs will give up some touchdowns to Troys passing attack and Troy comes in with a 6 game winning streak. Don't see the Bulldogs covering.

Pick: Troy +16

San Jose State at Boise State (22) -25.5

Boise has an uncanny way of covering at home and I don't see that trend changing. SJ lost 30-0 to Fresno State last week. Take the blue field.

Pick: Boise State -25.5

Texas (12) at OK State +3

OK State got dismantled by Troy earlier this season and I don't think Texas will have any problem covering 3. The favorite is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings of this group.

Pick: Texas -3 PUSH

LSU (3) at Alabama (18) +7.5

Tuscaloosa is a tough place to play, but the road team is 9-1-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings and Bama is 5-16-2 ATS in their last 23 home games. Take LSU to cover and take over the number 2 spot in the polls after this week.

Pick: LSU -7.5

Quick picks:

USC -15 over Oregon State
Arkansas +5 over South Carolina
Rutgers +1.5 over UCONN
Boston College -6.5 over FSU
Cincinnati +5 over South Florida
Oregon -7.5 over Arizona State
Texas A&M +21 over Oklahoma
Missouri -4 over Colorado
Michigan -4 over Michigan State PUSH

Good luck and good picks...
