By the way, the fourth-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.


Baylor at Kansas State
Line: Baylor by 3.5.

Saturday, 3:30 p.m.

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

I like Kansas State as an undefeated home dog. I feel like Baylor’s getting a little too much credit.

College Football Pick: Kansas State +3.5 (2 Units) — Correct; +$200







Arizona at USC
Line: USC by 13.5.

Saturday, 3:30 p.m.

I’m so mad at myself that I got off the fade-USC bandwagon last week. Well, I’m back on. The Trojans stink.

College Football Pick: Arizona +13.5 (1 Unit) — Correct; +$100






Clemson at Virginia Tech
Line: Virginia Tech by 7.

Saturday, 6:00 p.m.

Why is this game at 6? And why does everyone keep undervaluing Clemson? The Tigers are a really good football team. I’m taking the points.

College Football Pick: Clemson +7 (3 Units) — Correct; +$300




Florida Atlantic at Louisiana-Lafayette
Line: Louisiana-Lafayette by 9.

Saturday, 7:00 p.m.

This spread is inflated because Louisiana-Lafayette won as a 17-point underdog last week. Well, the Cajuns A) aren’t that good and B) have a tough matchup against Troy next week, so there’s look-ahead potential.

College Football Pick: Florida Atlantic +9 (2 Units) — Correct; +$200






Nebraska at Wisconsin
Line: Wisconsin by 9.

Saturday, 8:00 p.m.

Another undefeated dog. This should be a close game.

College Football Pick: Nebraska +9 (2 Units) — Incorrect; -$220
