Maryland at Clemson
Line: Clemson by 31.5.
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 (at least I used to be); I’m just doing these upon request. Follow @walterfootball for updates.
Maryland is a mess. The team has endured so many injuries that it’s starting a linebacker at quarterback. I don’t see how they can be competitive with the Tigers, who have blown many teams out this year.
College Football Pick: Clemson -31.5 (3 Units) — Correct; +$300

San Jose State at New Mexico State
Line: San Jose State by 22.5.
Saturday, 3:30 p.m.
Speaking of teams that aren’t competitive, how do you lose by 35 to Auburn? New Mexico State is a disaster. San Jose State is a dominant small-conference team that has taken care of business almost every week.
College Football Pick: San Jose State -22.5 (3 Units) — Correct; +$300

Notre Dame at Boston College
Line: Notre Dame by 18.5.
Saturday, 8:00 p.m.
You know the last time Notre Dame won by more than 18 points? It was Oct. 6. Granted, the Irish have played better opponents than Boston College, but this is a heated rivalry. Plus, Notre Dame is traveling off an overtime victory, which is seldom good.
College Football Pick: Boston College +18.5 (1 Unit) — Correct; +$100

Idaho at BYU
Line: BYU by 38.
Saturday, 10:15 p.m.
Idaho has been getting blown out almost every week. The only team the Vandals have beaten is New Mexico State (big surprise). BYU, meanwhile, is coming off a bye, so the team has had two weeks to prepare.
College Football Pick: BYU -38 (2 Units) — Correct; +$200

Oregon at California
Line: Oregon by 28.
Saturday, 10:30 p.m.
Oregon scores so quickly that it should have this spread covered by halftime. I don’t see how Cal can be competitive without Keenan Allen.
College Football Pick: Oregon -28 (3 Units) — Correct; +$300
