Picks Of The Week

PrintI went 3 for 3 last week with SMU coming through late yesterday (+13.5 vs Texas Tech). Also had Utah State +34 vs. OU, and Clemson -23 vs. UNT.
This week I like:
Texas Tech -24 vs. New Mexico is a gimme IMO. UNM is the worst team in D1 football. Their coach will be fired after this year. Tech will improve a little from their first game, and UNM is simply that bad. I believe 54-10 Tech is a reasonable expectation.
FSU +9 vs OU is another line that shocks me. I think FSU is going to win this game. The OU secondary and OL are both very suspect. Jimbo Fisher will get his first signature win at FSU.
tu -29 vs. Wyoming. I know Mack Brown is almost 100 percent during his career at tu to cover after a loss. I am willing to bet he covers the 2nd week of the season almost as often. I am not convinced tu is a great team, but Wyoming will struggle to score in Austin.
If you are looking for action today, Boise State +1.5 vs. Virginia Tech is very tempting. Give the Boise State staff two weeks or more to prepare for a game, and they will win the game. They have had all offseason. I think Boise State beats VTech.

I disagree on OU
It’s games like this and Texas that Stoops goes ape sh*t on his troops. Home field helps, too. I’d be very wary about this game.

Stopps has not been able to motivate his team
to a win in a big game in years. FSU has better QB play. I think FSU is simply the better team.
given the tragedy that just hit the Wyoming program
you have to think they’ll be the sentimental favorite in this game
they’ll either play on emotion and play out of their minds and keep it close, or they’ll get down early, give up, and get blown out
given that Dave Christensen is their head coach, I think they’ll cover 29, but we’ll see
