I posted a 3-4 record last weekend. Missed the Burnett – Martinez blow-up a start to late. That drops the overall record to 16-18-2. Apparently, I’m killing the NFL and getting killed in college football, so…. Take that into consideration when betting these picks.
Wisconsin -10.5 at Indiana. Take the Badgers. Indiana will build on that 4th quarter they played against Iowa, and this game may be over by the end of the first quarter. Wisconsin 38 Indiana 12
Navy +11 at Notre Dame. Take the Midshipmen. They won’t win, but they play there best football against teams they don’t belong on the same field with. Notre Dame 34 Navy 28
Rice at SMU. Over – Under 57.5. Even though Rice’s offense is a bit down, they are playing an offense that would love to put up 60 points. And, the Rice defense is more than capable of giving up 60. SMU 56 Rice 17
Ohio State at Penn St. Over – Under 40. Penn State usually gets out of the gate quick. Ohio State is usually good at coming back from early scores. This has OT written all over it, which is another reason I like the over. Penn St. 31 Ohio State 24 OT
Miami -13.5 at home against Virginia. The real Virginia is back. They will roll over once Miami gets rolling. Miami covers times 2. Miami 37 Virginia 10.
Other picks:
Jacksonville -6.5
Tampa Bay +9.5
Panthers +13
Giants – under 47.5 (bad weather expected)

Gambler 19,
I’m with you on the Wisconsin pick. I was at the Iowa/Indiana game on the Indiana sideline. It was unbelievable to see their scared faces. In their defense, they had the officials with big time money on Iowa!!! I think this loss is very fresh in their minds and will expect to get blown out by a far more superior team.
Also love your Miami pick. That’s the only two of your picks I will comment.
I think you should get your nose in to the Oklahoma game. They are on a roll and right now there is NO BIG RED in Lincoln. One source told me they are two years away from a National Championship.
