Call your bookie. You can thanks us later. Here are our picks:
Michigan vs UMass
For those of you who bet on NFL football or dabble in betting on college football, BIG lines are always the toughest to pick.
Michigan is the biggest favorite of any game this weekend, according to Bovada, being listed as a 46 point advantage over UMass in Saturday's almost sure blowout.
Who has the guys to lay the 46 points? Can Denard and co drop 50+ if the defense gives up a score of two?
Location: Ann Arbor, MI
Line: Michigan -46
Our Pick: Take UMass
Predicted Score: 42 Michigan - 7 UMass
Texas Tech vs. New Mexico
The Texas Tech Red Raiders take on New Mexico in what is surely going to be a route. The Red Raiders possess quite a few elite receivers that are going completely demolish the New Mexico secondary.
In the previous two weeks, Texas Tech has put up a combined 102 point to a mere 16 combined by Northwestern State and Texas State. Look for the Red Raider offense to continue rolling in a trampling of New Mexico.
Location: Lubbock, TX
Line: Texas Tech -33.5
Our Pick: Take Texas Tech
Predicted Score: 54 Texas Tech - 10 New Mexico
LSU vs. Idaho
The LSU Tigers have looked virtually unstoppable so far. Last week the Tigers rolled over the Washington Huskies who are expected to be a competitive team this season.
In two games, the Tigers have given up only 17 points in their first two games at home. Look for the Tigers to continue their hot-streak this weekend and blow past Idaho in what is sure to be a barn burner.
Location: Baton Rougue
Line: LSU -46
Our Pick: Take LSU
Predicted Score: 52 LSU - 0 Idaho
Florida State vs Wake Forest
Under the direction of QB EJ Manuel, the Florida State Seminoles have been outstanding thus far. The Noles have put up 129 points in two games and have only let up 3 points total!
The Noles look excellent on both sides of the ball and are sure to take a lashing to Wake Forest. But do not be surprised if the Demon Deacons put up a fight and make it an interesting game. Wake Forest did just beat a relatively strong UNC team last weekend...
Location: Tallahassee, FL
Line: -28
Our Pick: Take Wake Forest
Predicted Score: 35 FSU - 14 Wake
Boise State vs. Miami (Ohio)
The Boise State Broncos had a bye in week two, but the Broncos looked strong in a week one loss to the Michigan State Spartans. The Broncos played an extremely strong game and only lost by 4 points to a very stout Michigan State team.
Given the Broncos flashes of brilliance in week one, expect the Broncos to come out on fire against a pretty weak Miami Ohio squad. The Broncos should be angry from their loss against the Spartans, and completely take it out on the RedHaws. Expect the Broncos to cruise past the RedHawks in a pretty convincing win.
Location: Boise, ID
Line: -21 Boise State
Our Pick: Take Boise State
Predicted Score: 35 Boise State - 7 Miami
