Week 13 College Football Picks

Posted by deaconcat08 on November 26, 2009

These spreads are based on the current lines according to the World Sports Exchange, and they are ordered from most confident to least confident.

Pick # 1: Oklahoma State (+8.0) vs. Oklahoma- See analysis for this game in my upset entry below.

Pick # 2: Troy (-9.5) vs. UL-Lafayette- The Trojans have been blowing out everybody in the Sun Belt, and I expect more of the same in this one.

Pick # 3: Navy (-9.5) vs. Hawaii- The Midshipmen are the much more talented squad, and they are not the kind of team that is going to go to Honolulu, party all weekend, and not show up ready to play on Saturday night.

Pick # 4: Kent State (+3.0) vs. Buffalo- See analysis for this game in my upset entry below.

Pick # 5: Wyoming (+3.0) vs. Colorado State- See analysis for this game in my upset entry below.

Pick # 6: Bowling Green (-7.5) vs. Toledo- After a slow start to the season, the Falcons have won five of their last six; meanwhile, Toledo has limped through the homestretch of their season, losing three of their last four.

Pick # 7: Marshall (+1.5) vs. UTEP- See analysis for this game in my upset entry below.

Pick # 8: Nevada (+14.0) vs. Boise State- See analysis for this game in my upset entry below.

Pick # 9: South Carolina (+3.0) vs. Clemson- See analysis for this game in my upset entry below.

Pick # 10: Texas A & M (+21.0) vs. Texas- The Aggies have scored 30 or more points in every home game they’ve played this year and seem to annually give the Longhorns fits in this rivalry game.  This matchup is reminiscent to the game played between these two teams in 2005 when Vince Young’s squad almost had its undefeated season and national title hopes derailed in College Station.  Expect another scare in this one.

Last Week Record: 5-5, Overall Record: 67-53.
