| 10-12-14 CFB Best Pick Record = 6-1 Strong Pick Record = 7-3 Regular Pick Record = 4-2 ----------------------------------------------------- Minnesota @ Wisconsin Best Pick = Wisconsin -8 Wisconsin is 5-1, their only loss was to Michigan, who is the 3rd best team in the country in my opinion. Their other 5 games they've won easily by 14 points or more. Running back, P.J. Hill has been very productive for the Badgers this season, averaging 141.2 yards per game on the ground, which is 5th in the nation. Minnesota ranks 98th out of 119 teams in rushing defense, surrendering 164.3 yards per game. The Gophers are coming off an overtime loss to Penn State at home, which can not be good for their confidence. If this game were at Minnesota, I'd probably back away from this one, but being in Wisconsin, and the Badger's being a much better team, I like the odds of Wisconsin beating them by double digits in this game. ---------------------------------------------------- California @ Washington State Best Pick = California -8 California has beaten their last 5 opponents by 21 or more, including 11th ranked Oregon last week. This offense could contend with some NFL defenses in my honest opinion. I don't see Washington state staying within 2 Touchdowns in this one, not even at home. -------------------------------------------------- Michigan @ Penn State Strong Pick = Michigan -5.5 The Wolverines are a much better team than Penn State. Although they're without their star WR, Mario Manningham, they should still beat Penn State by atleast a TD. Lions QB, Anthony Morelli, just isn't a big game performer, and seems to struggle down the stretch as well. Penn State will put up a good fight but Michigan's defense will step it up and be the difference in this one. Michigan is also playing for a national title shot, so this game means alot more to them. ---------------------------------------------------- Pittsburgh @ Central Florida Strong Pick = Pittsburgh -10 Pitt has been under the radar all season long, quietly going 5-1 this year. Tyler Palko is putting out Heisman like numbers up with 103 completions, a 70.5 completion percentage, 1,489 Yards, 15 TD, only 3 interceptions, and a rating of 186.0!! These numbers remind me of the first half of the year that Kyle Orton put up at Purdue two years ago, and that was all anyone could talk about. The Panther's also have a good back in Larod Howling, who has 428 yards, and averaging 5.2 per carry. Pitt's defense has only given up 20 total points in their last 3 games. Pitt has Central Florida beat in every aspect of the game in this one. Should be an easy win. ---------------------------------------------------- Florida @ Auburn Strong Pick = OVER 39 points 39 points don't seem much for these two teams to put up. Auburn is coming off a horrible outing against Arkansas, who beat them 27-10. This isn't the type of offense to have two bad outings in a row, even against a really good Gators defense. Florida's offense is also averaging 28.3 points per game, so each team should easily score 3 TD's a piece. ----------------------------------------------------- Virginia Tech @ Boston College Regular Pick = Virginia Tech -2 Virginia Tech is coming off a loss to Georgia Tech, who could possibly beat just about any team in the country. Boston College has a good record but only beat one good team in Clemson by one point. Boston College will also be playing without their kicker, who was suspended. He'll be replaced by a walk-on who has never played in a football game, let alone a Division one game. Against a great defense like the Hokies, a kicking game will be crucial. Virginia Tech is also without WR, Josh Hyman due to suspension. He's listed everywhere as their 2nd leading reciever, but he's only second in catches by one catch. He's 5th on the team in YPC, with no TD's. Don't look to much into him not playing, they have some depth at that position. Virginia Tech bounces back and wins a tuff game in Boston. -------------------------------------------------- Michigan @ Penn State Regular Pick = UNDER 41 points This is going to be a very physical game between two heated rivals. Michigan is without star reciever Mario Manningham, who leads the nation with 9 TD catches. Penn State will have trouble moving the ball against Michigan who have one of the best run defenses in the game. ----------------------------------------------------- |

| Here's one more: California @ Washington State Strong Pick = OvER 55 points California has scored 41 or more points in their 5 games. They should score atleast 34 in this game. Washington has a pretty good offense as well. They have 3 running backs that have over 250 yards this season, and all are averaging over 4.5 per carry. They also have 4 Wide Receivers with 14 or more catches, with 208 yards or more. This seems all likely that they'll be able to play catch up with California this whole game. This game has potential to be in the 70's. ---------------------------------------------------- |
