  • Week 13 College Football Picks

    Season record: 25-26-2 Last week: 3-3 (Florida -7, Kentucky -10.5, Texas +7, Minnesota +3, Oklahoma -10, Arizona/Oregon over 68.5) I got off to a hot start with Florida and Kentucky covering rather easily. Texas fell in the final seconds, but was able to cover as a seven-point underdog. Minnesota was unable to push thanks to a missed extra point. Oklahoma continues…

  • Week 12 College Football Picks

    Season record: 22-23-2 Last week: 4-1 (Purdue +2.5, Louisville +6.5, Illinois +14.5, LSU +6, Clemson -31.5) How about that? I changed things up, and it paid off. Purdue, Illinois, and LSU all won outright as underdogs. Clemson won big and covered the 31.5 point spread. Unfortunately, Lousville kept me from a perfect weekend. As the season winds down,…

  • Week 11 College Football Picks

    Season record: 18-22-2 Last week: 3-3-1 (Virginia Tech +17.5, Florida +6.5, Washington +3, Indiana -11, SMU +6, SMU/Memphis over 72, USC +4.5) I really thought I was going to turn it around, but some of these teams had other ideas. Virginia Tech got things rolling, and almost came away with an outright win. Florida was…

  • Week 10 College Football Picks

    Season record: 15-19-1 Last week: 2-3 Last week was another stinker. I put too much faith in both Oklahoma and Wisconsin’s defense. The Oklahoma defense reverted back to what it looked like in 2018, while Wisconsin was unable to hold down Ohio State for four quarters. I also picked Arizona over Stanford because of their…

  • Week 9 College Football Picks

    Season record: 13-16-1 Last week: 4-2 (Pittsburgh -3.5, Iowa State/Texas Tech over 55.5, LSU -18.5, Navy -14, Ole Miss +6.5, Penn State -9) Week 8 was my best week so far. Pittsburgh got it started off Friday night, and I was undefeated through the Navy game. Ole Miss fell just short of the number, losing 24-17 in a very competitive…

  • Week 8 College Football Picks

    Season record: 9-14-1 Last week: 2-3 (Michigan -21.5, Oklahoma -10.5, Clemson -27, Michigan State/Wisconsin under 40.5, Missouri -11.5) It was another less than stellar week for me. All the teams I picked won, but did not cover their respective spreads. That is the tricky part of picking favorites. Onward we go…   Pittsburgh Panthers (4-2) @ Syracuse Orange (3-3)…

  • Week 7 College Football Picks

    Season record: 7-11-1 Last week: 1-4 (Oklahoma State/Texas Tech over 63.5, Louisville -6.5, Auburn -3, West Virginia +10.5, SMU -13) Well, an Oklahoma State game finally went over, but that was the extent of my success last week. Hopefully I can bounce back this week.   Michigan Wolverines (4-1) @ Illinois Fighting Illini (2-3) | October 12 |…

  • Week 6 College Football Picks

    Season record: 6-7-1 Last week: 4-1 (Michigan -27.5, Arkansas +23.5, SMU +7.5, Florida State -5.5, Kansas State/Oklahoma State over 60) Now that is more like it. The 4-1 week has me moving in the right direction, but another Oklahoma State game did not go over. I usually give recaps, but I will get right into it. I want winners,…

  • Week 5 College Football Picks

    Season record: 2-6-1 Last week: 2-3 (Tulane -5, Wisconsin -3.5, Texas A&M -3.5, Central Florida -12.5, Texas/Oklahoma State over 73) I was able to get into the win column, but it was not easy. I am still below .500 on the year, so there is plenty of work to be done. It was a wild…

  • SEC Hot Seats Week 4

    Week 3 was probably the most boring week of the college football season in quite some time. With that, we did not see any noteworthy changes in SEC Hot Seats. We are roughly a quarter of the way into the college football season, so I will now take the time to rank the top five…
