Thursday 9:00 P.M Stanford (8) vs. Washington
I have to take Stanford here after a impressive win over a talented USC squad. Washington has some young talent but could not put up much of a fight against LSU. They have some potential in a couple years. We think they'll be able to cover the spread. The Spread Pick: Stanford -7 for 3 UNITS
Saturday 12:00 P.M Baylor (25) vs. West Virginia (9)
Baylor has done a good job recruiting after Robert Griffin III has left but had some problems against upset minded Louisiana Monroe and barely got the W. The Mountaineers and Heisman Candidate Geno Smith have a high powered offense that should beat Baylor pretty easily. The Spread Pick: WVU -11 for 3 UNITS
Saturday 3:30 P.M Georgia (5) vs. Tennessee
Georgia has looked might impressive this year, with Aaron Murray finally living up to expectations. But the Volunteers haven't been to shabby themselves, a lone loss coming from a strong Florida team. This will surely be a shoot out but I like Tyler Bray to out throw Murray for an upset win. The Spread Pick: Tennessee +14 for 5 UNITS
Saturday 3:30 P.M Ohio State (16) vs. Michigan State (20)
Braxton Miller has turned out to be a perfect fit for the Urban Meyer offense and just give him a little room, and he is gone. Michigan State has not shown up to play this year, losing to Notre Dame and struggling against Eastern Michigan, which should be an easy win. Miller should put up some Heisman like numbers on the ground and through the air and the Buckeyes should beat out the Spartans, despite being the 2 point underdogs. The Spread Pick: OSU +2 for 5 UNITS
Saturday 7:50 P.M Texas (12) vs. Oklahoma State
O.K State hasn't lost the offensive output since Brandon Weeden left, they are averaging 62 points a game. The problem is on the other side of the ball where they have given up 27 points a game and they will have some problems with David Ash and Jackson Shipley of the Longhorns. This will be a high scoring affair and Texas will come out victorious, and cover the -1 spread. The Spread Pick: Texas -1 for 7 UNITS
Saturday 8:00 P.M Nebraska (22) vs. Wisconsin
Both of these teams have had some troubles against lesser opponents, Wisconsin losing to Oregon State, and Nebraska losing to UCLA. However, people forget that Nebraska was missing several key players in that loss. Although Montee Ball of the Badgers is a versatile and skilled runner, it has shown that the loss of Russel Wilson has really hurt, because Ball is unable to carry his team. The other star running back in this matchup is Rex Burkhead who returned from a sprained left knee last week against Idaho State ran for 119 yards and two touchdowns. When healthy, Nebraska can compete with the best of them. This should be a ground and pound game that Nebraska wins. Nebraska is currently the 12 point favorites. We like them by 2 touchdowns. The Spread Pick: Nebraska -12 for 4 UNITS
Saturday 10:00 P.M Oregon State (18) vs. Arizona
Oregon State has started out the season strong with two solid wins over ranked opponents when Arizona has dropped out of the rankings. If the Beaver's defense can hold up against a stagnant Wildcats offense, then the win should go to Oregon State. The Spread Pick: Oregon St. +3 for 2 UNITS
Saturday 10:30 P.M Oregon (2) vs. Washington State
The Ducks continue to have a constant flow of speedy wide receivers and running backs who spread the field constantly. De'Anthony Thomas will gash the Cougars defense all night and the Ducks should coast to victory to improve their undefeated record. After crushing Arizona by 49, they should cover the spread 31 point spread against a much worse Washington St. team. The Spread Pick: Oregon -31 for 2 UNITS
Saturday 7:00 P.M TCU (15) vs. SMU
The Horned Frogs are entering this contest as the 16.5 point favorites, however don't expect SMU to go down without a fight. Like all bitter rivals in sports, SMU will certainly be amped up for this one. Even though it doesn't hold any extra significance on a computer system, you can bet that both teams will come out a little stronger in this one. TCU's quarterback Casey Pachall has started the year off on a hot note, as he is currently boasting 8 td's to only 1 interception. Meanwhile, SMU's quarterback Garrett Gilbert hasn't had much to celebrate, but this could be the breakout performance that proves that he deserved his #2 QB ranking in the nation coming out of high school. This one will be a dogfight, and in the end I see SMU pulling off a shocker. The Spread Pick: SMU +17.5 for 4 UNITS
Saturday 12:21 P.M Texas A&M vs. Arkansas
It's been a tough year for the Razorbacks thus far, however this game is a chance for them to get back on the right track. QB Tyler Wilson is an elite talent, and should be 100% healthy by now. Texas A&M are the 13.5 point favorites in this one, but this is because Arkansas has yet to display their best football. Look for Tyler Wilson to have a good game, and Arkansas to edge out Texas A&M. The Spread Pick: Arkansas +13.5 for 3 UNITS
Texas Tech vs. Iowa St: Texas Tech has looked fantastic this year, and is off to a scorching 3-0 start, where they haven't been tested. We think they will cover the -1 spread against an overrated Iowa State team, that has struggled all year, despite being 3-0. The Spread Pick: Texas Tech -1 for 3 UNITS
