By the way, the third-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.
Oklahoma (3-2) at Texas (5-0)
Line: Texas by 3.5.
Saturday, 12:00 ET
Another bad week, another bad beat. I had Arizona -3 over Washington. The Wildcats were up 33-21 with three minutes left and somehow found a way to lose the game straight up. It’s been like this every week in college football, and I feel like my confidence is gone. That said, I’ll gladly take crappy weeks in college football if my NFL streak can continue.
I like Oklahoma here. Texas has only been able to cover one game this year. They had trouble scoring on Texas Tech and Colorado. I don’t think they’re that good.
The Sooners, meanwhile, just got Sam Bradford back and they look like they’re going to get hot.
Prediction: Oklahoma 24, Texas 20
Oklahoma +3.5 (3 Units) — Correct; +$300
Texas 16, Oklahoma 13
Iowa (6-0) at Wisconsin (5-1)
Line: Wisconsin by 3.
Saturday, 12:00 ET
I feel like Wisconsin was exposed as a fraud last week. Losing to Ohio State could trickle into this game, where Iowa is clearly the better team. The Hawkeyes have the defense, running game and smart quarterback to win on the road.
Prediction: Iowa 20, Wisconsin 10
Iowa +3 (1 Unit) — Correct; +$100
Iowa 20, Wisconsin 10
Wyoming (4-2) at Air Force (3-3)
Line: Air Force by 10.5.
Saturday, 2:00 ET
This is a terrible spot for Air Force. They just battled TCU and lost a heart-breaker. Now, they have to come in as big favorites against Wyoming? You may ask if Wyoming is any good, and the answer is yes. The Cowboys, who earlier beat the spread against Texas, have won and covered their last three games. They’re a hot team with a lot of confidence, and I think they can go on the road and win this game.
Prediction: Wyoming 24, Air Force 20
Wyoming +10.5 (5 Units) — Correct; +$500
Air Force 10, Wyoming 0
Minnesota (4-2) at Penn State (5-1)
Line: Penn State by 16.5.
Saturday, 3:30 ET
I’m a proud Penn State alumnus, but even I can say that this spread is too high. The Nittany Lions’ offense has been inconsistent this year, while the Gophers are fully capable of putting up some points and getting a backdoor cover if they need one.
Prediction: Penn State 27, Minnesota 20
Minnesota +16.5 (3 Units) — Incorrect; -$330
Penn State 20, Minnesota 0
South Carolina (5-1) at Alabama (6-0)
Line: Alabama by 17.
Saturday, 7:45 ET
E-mailer Ravi P. criticized me for laying the points with South Carolina last week. He’s a Gamecocks fan, but warned me that they don’t cover the games they’re supposed to win. Conversely, they play up to their competition (as they did against Georgia and Ole Miss).
This should be a close game between two tough defensive teams.
Prediction: Alabama 24, South Carolina 16
South Carolina +17 (2 Units) — Correct; +$200
Alabama 20, South Carolina 6
