Iowa State at Tulsa.
Line: Tulsa by 2.5.
Thursday, 7:30 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). Follow @walterfootball for updates.
What the hell is Tulsa doing as a favorite? They were blown out by Bowling Green, for crying out loud. Iowa State is 0-2, but was most recently competitive against Iowa. The Cyclones should be able to win this game.
College Football Pick: Iowa State +2.5 (2 Units) — Correct; +$200

Miami of Ohio at Illinois.
Line: Illinois by 25.
Saturday, 12:00 p.m.
I mentioned the following dynamic in this spot last week: “I love betting on very talented teams coming off byes that get to take on far inferior foes. It’s almost always a blowout.” Illinois isn’t a super power, but it dismantled Cincinnati two weeks ago. Miami of Ohio, sitting at 0-3, has lost by 30-plus to Marshall and Kentucky this season.
College Football Pick: Illinois -25 (2 Units) — Correct; +$200

Arizona at Washington.
Line: Washington by 10.5.
Saturday, 7:00 p.m.
Arizona is too good to be getting double digits. I know the Wildcats haven’t had much competition yet, but I think it says a lot that they’ve been blowing out inferior competition. Lots of value with Arizona here.
College Football Pick: Arizona +10.5 (3 Units) — Incorrect; -$330

Stanford at Washington State.
Line: Stanford by 10.
Saturday, 10:00 p.m.
Washington State is another Pac-12 team that isn’t getting the respect it deserves. I think the difference between these two teams is slimmer than 10 points on a neutral field. Like Arizona, the Cougars have been demolishing their competition.
College Football Pick: Washington State +10 (2 Units) — Incorrect; -$220

California at Oregon.
Line: Oregon by 36.
Saturday, 10:30 p.m.
I’m taking Oregon for the same reason I’m betting Illinois. The Ducks have had a week off to prepare for this garbage California squad that barely beat 1-AA Portland State.
College Football Pick: Oregon -36 (3 Units) — Correct; +$300
