By the way, the fifth-annual Walter/Joker Annual Challenge is on, as I'll be competing with the Joker's College Picks. We each pick five games and see who does the best each week.

Stanford vs. Wisconsin
Line: Stanford by 6.5.
Jan. 1, 5:00 p.m.

As a disclaimer, don't go nuts with my college football picks. I'm much better at picking NFL games (at least I used to be); I'm just doing these upon request. Follow @walterfootball for updates.

No one expected Stanford to be in the Rose Bowl exhibition game prior to the season. I doubt the Cardinal players expected it. But here they are, ready to take on the Big Ten champs. They'll be up for Wisconsin, a team that just isn't very good. Trust me, I've bet against the Badgers a couple of times this year.

College Football Pick: Stanford -6.5 (1 Unit)

Northern Illinois at Florida State
Line: Florida State by 13.5.
Jan. 1, 8:30 p.m.

Remember when Florida State was undefeated and everyone was talking about the team possibly battling Alabama in the national championship? Well, the Semionles have certainly fallen. Sure. they've been invited to a meaningless BCS bowl (aren't they really just the same as the other ones?) but they have to take on Northern Illinois. Why would they care about stupid Northern Illinois? Meanwhile, the Northern Illinois players have spent the past month listening to why they don't belong in a stupid BCS bowl. They'll be pumped to prove everyone wrong.

College Football Pick: Northern Illinois +13.5 (2 Units)

Oregon vs. Kansas State
Line: Oregon by 8.5.
Jan. 3, 8:30 p.m.

What was that Kansas State loss to Baylor? Seriously, how was an undefeated team embarrassed like that against a mediocre opponent so late in the year? The Ducks are at least legit. They should be able to prevail over Bill Snyder, who has a 4-9 spread record in bowl games.

College Football Pick: Oregon -8.5 (1 Unit)

Kent State vs. Arkansas State
Line: Arkansas State by 3.5.
Jan. 6, 9:00 p.m.

The fourth BCS bowl I'd like to discuss is Kent State versus Arkansas State. This one must be super important because it's being played just one day prior to the national championship.

This may surprise you, but this is Kent State's first bowl appearance since 1972. I was certainly shocked because I assumed the Flashes made it to one when Julian Edelman quarterbacked the team. They'll be pumped to play Arkansas State.

College Football Pick: Kent State +3.5 (2 Units)

Alabama vs. Notre Dame
Line: Alabama by 9.5.
Jan. 7, 8:30 p.m.

Always bet on the SEC team in the BCS championship*. That's what I've learned over the years. Dating back to 2006, the SEC is a perfect 5-0 versus non-SEC competition in the BCS championship.

* - Note that this is not technically the national championship. This is the BCS Championship. The winner wins the BCS, but if the voters should choose to vote, say, Texas A&M No. 1 after this contest, the Aggies would technically split the title with Alabama. Just sayin'.

Alabama has too much defensive power for Notre Dame's offense to handle. In fact, the Tide's speed is just going to be overwhelming. The Irish should be competitive for a while, but Alabama will eventually pull away and win by 14-20 points.

College Football Pick: Alabama -9.5 (1 Unit)

We've been down this road before with Clemson. They're talented enough to beat almost anybody, but as soon as they look like they've turned the corner, they collapse under the weight of expectations. I fully expect that to happen here. FSU had everything go wrong last week, including a sobering moment for the entire team when Shaw went down with the head injury... took all the air outta the stadium, and then after all that they lose their best player (Manuel). The fact that they were still in that game with a chance to knock off the #1 team speaks volumes about their talent and leadership. J.

Who has oklahoma state played to show that they can beat A&M. A&M killed an alright SMU team ok state hasnt played anyone. I go there and believe me the crowd at kyle field is really really taken into consideration, they only beat us by less than a touchdown last year in OK. Now we are ranked 8 and are playing at Kyle field. Not betting on it cause i think itll be too close but Im just giving insight to why the spread is that way. I mean even my girlfriend said wed be picked by 3 last weekend before the spreads came out. anyway GL ?!?!?!?! 09-20-2011 11:32 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.236 (total posts: 2) 15     17 Why is Oklahoma state at +4 cashoutTX 09-20-2011 07:32 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.141 (total posts: 4) 16     18 teased LSU to a pick and Alabama to -5.5 any opinions and feedback will help.

I'm 12-4 in NCAA and 4-3 in NFL. I'm loving ECU this week. They held an overrated VT squad to 17pts. They also put up 37 against an SEC team after giving up 5 turnovers. They do struggle with their rushing attack but I believe they will be fine against a UAB team that has yet to score an offensive TD in thier first 2 games. Getting blown out by Tulane at home is pretty embarassing. UAB is pathetic against the run giving up 562 yards in their first 2 games. Both teams will be looking for their first W of the year and ECU is playing with the home crowd on their side. ECU should win this game by 14+.

Vastely underrated id put money on them weekly to cover jeff cent NJ 09-19-2011 07:42 pm xxx.xxx.xxx7.79 (total posts: 11) 35     15 It was a rough weekend for everyone guys, dont take it so hard! I got worked saturday just like most people and then only lost 2 games sunday(ravens,eagles) but i had atleast one of them in almost every bet/parlay. Not a good start for me overall first two weeks here but lets turn this around. We're all starting to get to know all the teams and there players and how good and consistent they are. Lets make some money this week! dont be afraid to offer up some advice or knowledge just because youve picked a game wrong. everyone follows different teams more than other depending on their geography so lets help each other out and rake it in!! bigri30 09-19-2011 12:42 pm xxx.xxx.xxx0.95 (total posts: 65) 15     14 I love Temple and Duke covering. Thanks Walt for giving me the extra balls to go against everyone, but I saw how they played Stanford and I think they did better than Arizona defensively. bigri30 09-19-2011 12:40 pm xxx.xxx.xxx0.95 (total posts: 65) 15     21 I stunk it up with those 3 teamers. I cant believe Arkansas let up so bad. 1st half simply killing it and in the 2nd half NO FOCUS!!! They they give up that last touchdown which kills my teaser spread. Auburn was due, but had no clue Clemson's offense was so FAST!!! They should dominate the ACC this year, but I think to Auburn's defense and how bad it has been this season. My solid plays for the year are WI, OSU, and Stanford so far. I wdidnt expect WI to simply dominate N.Ill to 7 pts all game. Should've went w/ my horses. I guees soon Vegas will have OSU and WI at -21 at all games like they always do. OSU and A&M O 60 calling it today. Pages: 1 2 ...133 134 135 136137 138 139 ...151 152
