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.

South Carolina at Vanderbilt
Line: South Carolina by 6.5.
Thursday, 7:00 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.

This is one of those situations where the nationally televised road favorite is getting tons of action. In fact, South Carolina is getting twice as much money as any other team Thursday night. Vanderbilt is a live home dog with the superior quarterback.

College Football Pick: Vanderbilt +6.5 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200

---

Boise State at Michigan State
Line: Michigan State by 7.
Friday, 8:00 p.m.

Boise State has lost so many starters, including Kellen Moore. I feel like they're just touchdown underdogs based on name recognition. Michigan State is far superior.

College Football Pick: Michigan State -7 (1 Unit) -- Incorrect; -$110

---

Ohio at Penn State
Line: Penn State by 6.
Saturday, 12:00 p.m.

This has an "us against the world" feel about it. The NCAA and media destroyed Penn State this offseason, so the remaining Nittany Lion players may want to prove that they're still a legitimate team with a big victory in this game.

College Football Pick: Penn State -6 (1 Unit) -- Incorrect; -$110

---

Florida International at Duke
Line: Duke by 3.5.
Saturday, 7:00 p.m.

The better team is getting the points in this matchup. Florida International won eight games last season and returns most of its starters. Duke stinks, as always.

College Football Pick: Florida International +3.5 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220

---

Kentucky at Louisville
Line: Louisville by 13.5.
Sunday, 3:30 p.m.

Louisville is a good team, but this is a big rivalry, so I feel like the Cardinals are favored by too much, especially considering that Kentucky is coming out of the vastly superior conference. By the way, the underdog is 8-4 against the spread in this series since 2000.

College Football Pick: Kentucky +13.5 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220

I also wanted to note that UTEP QB Lamaison has a shoulder injury but is expected to play. UTEP also has several other players (dont know how influencial they are) nursing injuries.... bird bird 09-29-2011 05:33 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.143 (total posts: 4) 15     16 Obviously, that is an interesting trend supporting UTEP. However, reading it I dont know if it has strong meaning. HOUSTON team is a scoring machine and I dont know if UTEP can hang with them....I could see this game being a blowout. Maybe I should just stick w/ my OVER pick for this game. What are you thinking JB29??? bird jb29 09-29-2011 05:16 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.205 (total posts: 4) 16     14 which is the situation the cougars are in tonight jb29 09-29-2011 05:15 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.205 (total posts: 4) 15     21 @Bird Flyers means: Houston is recently 0-10 against the spread as road favorites coming off back to back straight up victories. bird 09-29-2011 05:03 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.143 (total posts: 4) 14     16 @FLYERS What does the NCAA HOUSTON TREND you posted earlier mean? Please explain because I was considering taking them. Thanks! bird bird 09-29-2011 04:20 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.143 (total posts: 4) 20     13 Hey guys, went 5-3 on MLB last night for another +$855!!!

It appears to me that USF is a good bet. My local book had them at -2.5 and now it has been moved to -3. Typical movement when the public is on one side BUT my book has pitt at -115 +3. What's the trick here. rizzo 09-29-2011 04:01 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.163 (total posts: 1) 15     13 i agree with walter on that clemson team as well. guys clemsons the real deal, they remind me of auburn last year. taking clemson plus 7 for 3 units. i like wisconsin also giving 9. predictions clemson 27 vt 16. wisconsin 38 neb 20 new guy 09-29-2011 03:59 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.185 (total posts: 21) 19     13 Syracus -1 over Rutgers UTEP +17 over Huston Utah +8 over BYU Any thoughts? @flyers 09-29-2011 03:51 pm xxx.xxx.xxx7.79 (total posts: 11) 14     13 whats bb.. big blowout?

Im liking walts pick on clemson +7 as i agree they are very good and no one really knows it but at the same time they are playing away for the 1st time all year. We will definitely find out how good they are cause va tech is always a diciplined, "good" team with an above average defense. Also like the cornhuskers +9.. i thought this spread woulda been 7ish but wisconsin is very good. Everyones talkin about the key to the game being can taylor martinez throw when wisconsin stacks the box.. i think the key will be more nebraskas defense. There db's are always legit and this is by far the best defense wisconsins played yet. If they cant slow down Russel Wilson, i dunno if there are many defenses that can/will.. Nebraskas getting a few starters back, one an all-conference caliber CB.. Ill post all my college picks tomorrow night or saturday morning... tonights games.. USF -3, Houston -16. straight up and parlayed just to give me somethin to watch Pages: 1 2 ...128 129 130 131132 133 134 ...151 152
