NCAA FB Picks (10/14-10/18) YTD: 49-42, +0.90 units

FCS Picks:


Colgate +6 over Cornell: Two pretty even teams so I will take the points. Colgate's ability to throw against Cornell's weak pass defense will be the difference.

Dayton -9 over Davidson: Dayton has won two in a row after the Duquesne debacle. Their defense will be too much for Davidson who just lost to Valpo:shrug:

Delaware St. -14 North Carolina A&T: NCAT has lost 5 in a row and wasn't competitive in any of them (except for the NC Central game and they suck too). Delaware St. has played a tough schedule and should take NCAT to the woodshed.

Drake -20.5 Campbell-How bad is Campbell for Drake to be laying three TD's? Awful.

Savannah St. +1 MVSU-Savannah St. has been surprisingly competitive this year. MVSU has not because their defense is rotten.

Jackson St. -9 over Texas Southern-Texas Southern has not been close to any FBS or FCS team yet. Their defense is really bad. Jackson St. might only need to score 10 to cover this one.

[Eli Blue]

I like Brown +3 at Princeton quite a bit

Leans:

Improving Columbia stays within the large number at Penn

Yale - the 7 at the Rams

In the Colgate/Cornell tilt, I'll
take CU (that's a joke son)

Go Bruins!

Sparty +3.5 over Ohio St.--I think Sparty will finally win a big game for the first time in a long, long time. The Buckeye's offense is shaky and their defense hasn't been as dominant as expected. Hoyer will need to step up. Even though he is from North Olmsted, I think he can come through.

Michigan +24.5 over PSU--Hold your nose and play this one. Michigan is god-awful on offense and inconsistent on defense. PSU in a possible look-ahead situation even though they owe the Wolverines for almost a decade of losses.

Arkansas St. +3 over ULL--ULL's QB is banged up and I really like Arkansas St. this year. Larson and Leonard provide nice depth at running back and they are third in the nation in turnover margin. Blew the cover last week but should get the outright win this week.

Adding:

BGSU/Miami under 51--Redhawks are really struggling offensively but their defense should slow down BG enough to stay under this number.

Results: 7-5, +1.4 units

Michigan blows the cover by giving up a 70 yard screen for a TD in the last couple of minutes.

Arkansas St. blows the cover by giving up a TD in the last minute of their game.

Savannah St. gives up a TD in the last 5 seconds to lose.

OK, I'm done, I feel better.
