Todays picks:
"CURE"
New Mexico State +16.5
Far too many points for the Tigers to cover in this one. With Holbrook at QB, second to only Hawaii's Brennan last year, New Mexico will defiantely get their points this week. Auburn's inconsistent offence this year coupled with the fact that both teams are moving in opposite directions, so far this year, there's no way the Tigers can with this game by this sort of margin. I wouldn't be surprisd to see the Aggies score early and often in this one. They just might walk away with a SU win.
LSU -18
LSU is the best defensive team in the nation and South Carolina will struggle, struggle and struggle some more trying to get any sort of offense going. I wouldn't be surprised if South Carolina fails to score a TD in this one. Look for LSU to continue their unmerciless play thus far and destroy the Gamecocks. LSU by at least 35.
"PRESCRIPTION"
Fl. Atlantic/North Texas Over 59.5
Look for plenty of "Air Mles" to be collected this weekend as both teams trade punches all game long. Both of these teams have mediocre defences and their respective offenses are both churning in the right direction. This one will definately be fun for the fans to watch. I wish I could say the same for the coaching staff. This game soars past the 59.5 mark and might reach the 80s when the smoke clears.
"BAND-AID"
San Jose St. +3.5
Well, little can be said about either team that would sound very good. So I'll throw some stats your way. The Spartans are 18-10-1 in the all-time series. San Jose St. took last years game 21-14 at home. Look for similar results this time around as the better defence wins. I expect better things this week for SJST's offence against a very weak Utah State D. This one won't be pretty but SJST wins this SU.
Air Force +11.5
Sure BYU can score some points but the Falcons have proved they can hold their own. Look for a weak Cougar secondary help Air Force keep this one close right until the end. The Falcon's have been great against the run this year and should force BYU into a one-dimensional game. Although BYU holds a decisive advantage in the all-time series I expect this game to come down to the final minutes. Who knows Air Force might leave Provo 4-0.
Florida -22.5
Look for Florida to come out swinging right from the opening whistle. The Gator's believe they should be given greater respect , as national champs. The focus has been on LSU & USC this year and Florida will continue punishing opponents week after week until given the opportunity to prove it first hand against LSU later this year. The Gators go on the road for the first time this year and I think will be jut as dominating. Their smallest margin of victory has been 28 so far this year. Look for that trend to continue as the Gators chew up OLE Miss and spits them out. Florida by too many to count. (35-40)
Wyoming -4
Look for a dominating defensive performance this week from the Cowboys. The Cowboys are eyeing the post-season and they don't want to be left behind again this year. Look for the more talented team to come through and cover this line easily. Wyoming by 3 TDs.
