College and NFL Spread Picks October 16th-17th
Last week I went 3-1 in picking college football games on the spread, and 2-2 picking NFL games on the spread. On the season I am 9-3-1 in picking college games on the spread, and 9-3 in picking NFL games on the spread. This week I am picking 4 college games and 4 NFL games. These spreads were as of Monday, so I know they are changed. For example Texas went from +11 against Nebraska, to +9 to +9.5 against Nebraska depending on where you look. I'm still going to go with the Monday Lines.
College Games
Iowa – 3 vs. Michigan
I love Denard Shoelace Robinson, but the fact is he cannot continuously do it alone for Michigan against quality opponents. And Iowa might be the best opponent Michigan faces all year. So I’ll take Iowa her. Iowa -3.
Nebraska -11 vs. Texas
Nebraska has looked phenomenal, while Texas has the look of a team rebuilding. I completely understand why this line is at 11. Saying all that I am going to take Texas here. I think they will be ready to give Nebraska a fight. And Nebraska has not really played a quality opponent yet this year, so I think they will have their hands full with Nebraska. Texas +11.
Boise State -40 vs. San Jose State
Boise State is never on the ticket that my dad and I play. Until this week. So as soon as I saw this matchup I jumped on it. Besides the Virginia Tech and Oregon State game Boise has beaten its other opponents by 45, 59, and 43. So I definitely expect Boise to beat San Jose State by at least 40. Boise State -40.
Nevada -8 vs. Hawaii
Hawaii is good, but Nevada is much better. This could be a close 10 point game, but I don’t see Hawaii playing to within one score of Nevada by the end of the game. So I’ll take Nevada with the 8 here. Nevada -8.
NFL Games
Green Bay -1 vs. Miami
I expect Aaron Rodgers and the Packers to bounce back at home against Miami. I know Miami is 2-0 on the road, but I have a gut feeling Green Bay will play much better this week than they did at Washington last week. Green Bay -1.
New York Jets -3 ½ vs. Denver
I love the Jets on the road here. I expect a big day from Mark Sanchez, and even if Darrelle Revis does not play I think the Jets will force Kyle Orton into mistakes. I’ll take the Jets here. New York Jets -3 ½ .
San Francisco -7 vs. Oakland
Until San Francisco proves me wrong and wins I will always pick against them. Oakland is a tough team that gives you everything they got. I can’t say the same thing about San Francisco. Oakland +7.
Indianapolis -4 vs. Washington
Peyton Manning on primetime on NBC = take the Colts. I expect a big night from Peyton Manning and for the Colts to win by more than a touchdown. Indianapolis -4.

Texas will give Nebraska all they can handle on Saturday.

Peyton Manning will dominate on Sunday Night.

College and NFL Spread Picks October 9th-10th
So last week I went 3-2 in my college picks against the spread, and 4-0 in the NFL, including nailing the under in the dreadful Giants vs. Bears game. This week I am picking 4 college and 4 NFL games against the spread.
College
Georgia -13 vs. Tennessee
I looked at this line and was completely baffled. How is Georgia nearly a two touchdown favorite? What have they proved? Yes they have A.J. Green back, but they couldn’t even beat Colorado. I love Tennessee here. They have a good defense, and will make stops on Georgia’s offense. So I’ll take Tennessee here. Tennessee +13.
Notre Dame -7 vs. Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh needs to get that first big win. I think they can do that at South Bend on Saturday, and if they don’t they will lose by closer than a td. The fact is they have more talent than Notre Dame does. Pittsburgh + 7.
Northwestern -10 ½ vs. Purdue
Northwestern is riding high and undefeated. Purdue lost to Notre Dame and Toledo this year. Still I think this line is way too high. Northwestern barely beat a terrible Minnesota team last week. So I’ll like Purdue to make this closer than the experts think. Purdue +10 ½ .
Miami -7 vs. Florida State
Miami could certainly win this game. But since 2002 this game has been decided by less than a TD 7 out of 9 times. So chances are this will be a close game decided by 3-6 points. So I’m telling take Florida State here as a smart business move, not as the diehard Florida State fan I am. Florida State +7.
And yes I realize I am taking four underdogs in college this week. I just did not like any of the favorites and their lines.
NFL
Jacksonville -2 vs. Buffalo
This is too easy. Jacksonville will easily win by 3 points or more. I’ll be shocked out of my mind if Buffalo wins this game. Jacksonville -2.
Houston -3 vs. New York Giants
I’m riding the Texans this year. I am a believer in them. I think right now they are a much more complete team than the Giants, and should win by a td or more. Houston -3.
San Diego -7 vs. Oakland
I love San Diego here. They looked locked and loaded last week against the Cardinals. The Raiders are not that much better than the Cardinals. San Diego wins big at Oakland. San Diego -7.
San Francisco -4 vs. Philadelphia
I’m going against San Francisco here. I don’t trust a team that is lead by Mike Singletary and Alex Smith. And I think Kevin Kolb will play surprisingly well in this game. So I’ll take Philadelphia here. Philadelphia +4.

I'm telling you as a business move go with Florida State and CP7 at +7 on Saturday Night.

I'm not putting my money on a team coached by Mike Singletary.

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 .
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 .

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