College and NFL Picks Spread Picks October 2-4

So last week I made 4 picks against the spread in college football, and 4 picks against the spread in the NFL. I went 3-0-1 in college (which according to Kase would make me 4-0), and 3-1 in NFL picks. So I thought I would continue the picks against the spread this week. Certainly I know the NFL spread picks is Kase’s thing. So I’ll keep it simple with a couple of college games, and a couple of NFL games. So here are 5 college picks against the spread, 3 NFL picks against the spread, and one over/under NFL game pick.


College


Oklahoma -4 vs. Texas

I love Oklahoma here. They just seem to be a much more complete team than Texas right now. Garrett Gilbert really hasn’t had one good game so far for Texas at QB. Don’t trust Texas at all. Take OU. Oklahoma -4.

Michigan -12 ½ vs. Indiana

I still am very worried about Michigan’s suspect defense. But this game is too easy to pick. When is the last time Indiana played a close game versus a good Big 10 team? Denard “Shoelace” Robinson will run for 200+ yards and pass for over 150 yards. Michigan wins big here. Michigan -12 ½ .

LSU -14 vs. Tennessee

We all know Tennessee is not very good. But the fact is when they play the SEC games they play tough defense, and will give opponents all they can handle. I don’t trust LSU to beat Tennessee by more than two touchdowns. Take Tennessee here. Tennessee +14.

Notre Dame -3 vs. Boston College

So Boston College last week lost at home against Virginia Tech 19-0. Now this week they are going with a true freshman quarterback for his first ever start. Notre Dame is not playing Stanford this week. They are playing a team much weaker, with a true freshman QB Chase Rettig and I think it will be a long night for him. Notre Dame will bounce back in a big way this week. Notre Dame -3.

Nevada -21 ½ vs. UNLV

I love this Nevada team. Forget Virginia Tech, forget Oregon State, this Nevada team will be the best team that Boise State will play all season. I don’t care if UNLV is home they stink, and Nevada I think might just be one of the 10 best teams in the nation. This will be the Vegas Massacre. Nevada will win big here. Nevada -21 ½ .

Trust me...This Nevada team is damn good!

NFL


Houston -5 ½ vs. Oakland

I love Houston to get the bounce back win here. I think Andre Johnson will return in healthy form and score 2 touchdowns. Take Houston here. Houston -5 ½ .


Eagles -6 ½ vs. Redskins

The Redskins played a classic overlook your opponent game last week against St. Louis. Now everyone is panicked and will put the money on the Eagles. Not so fast my friend. Washington will play much better this week. Donovan McNabb will play well in his return to Philadelphia. And Michael Vick will realize he’s not playing the Lions or Jaguars defense this week. Take Washington here. Washington + 6 ½ .

Giants vs. Bears Under 43 ½

Over/Unders are so hard to come by. But I have a feeling about this game. I see both Jay Cutler and Eli Manning doing their classic two great passes, followed by two horrible passes, with one being picked off. And I see both defenses stepping up to the plate. I can see a 20-17 type of score here. So I will take the under of 43 ½ points on the Giants vs. Bears game.

New England -2 ½ vs. Miami

I love the Patriots here. There is no way I see this team losing and falling to 2-2, even if they game is at Miami where historically the Brady’s have had trouble. And I’m fairly confident if it is a close game they will win by more than 2. So I’m going with the Patriots here. New England -2 ½ .
