Florida State -2.5 (so which FSU team shows up today? I'm thinking the good twin shows up today and plays well. With no other blockbuster matchup on their schedule until the season finale at Florida, and a bye week following this game, this is FSU's chance to prove that the season doesn't have to be a waste. Meanwhile, Virginia Tech awaits Georgia Tech next week. Tough spot here for the Jackets.) Play: 2 units

Virginia Tech -13.5 (After an emotional game last week, look for a bit of a letdown from BC, while Va Tech should be very motivated at home to show well, since a very lackluster performance at Duke last week) Play: 3 units

Air Force +10.5 (This is arguably their biggest game of the season. With this to be a low scoring game for sure, I think 10.5 points at home are an absolute gift here. I know TCU's defense has shown well this year, but I don't think Air Force will have to score much more than 10 points to cover the number here. My only concern is how they will react to coming off a tough overtime loss to Navy last week, but I think they'll be just fine here. Take the points) Play: 1 unit

Iowa -8 (Big number for the Hawkeyes to cover here, but I like them to do it. With Forcier a bit beat up for Michigan and the Wolverines having to swallow last weeks tough loss, they may have a hard time travelling to Iowa. Iowa is coming off a crappy performance last week too, where the just got by Arkansas State. They'll take care of business at home) Play: 2 units

Good luck with your plays today!

Well, 1-0 going into tonight which is what I hoped for. I'm going to add one more....

Florida -9.5 (With Tebow playing apparently, I'm going to jump in and lay the big points. I realize this is a pretty big stretch, but I really don't like this LSU team. I have no confidence in their offense at all. I realize Death Valley is a tough place to play, but at the end of the day, players still make plays. And I think Florida will win by double digits) Play: 2 units


Best of luck tonight guys

Wow FSU is bad :nono:

Overall though I'm happy with the picks. Never hate seeing a profit, even if it's not huge. See you all next week!
