Season record: 35-31-2 Last week: 2-2 (Oklahoma -9, LSU -7, Virginia +28, Clemson/Virginia over 55.5) Championship week was nothing to brag about, but I managed to finish the season with a winning record. Bowl season is now upon us. If they are going to play games, I am going to try to pick them. Merry Christmas and Happy New…

Week 15 College Football Picks

Season record: 33-29-2 Last week: 3-3 (Virginia Tech -2.5, Missouri -12, Michigan +8.5, Kentucky -2.5, Oregon State +19, LSU -17) Friday was not good to me as I went 0-2. I picked Virginia Tech because I expected their defense to continue its dominant play, however, Bryce Perkins and the Virginia offense had other ideas. A late field goal put them up…

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

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…

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)…

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 |…
