CFB; 9/30/17

Lock
Texas A&M (-7.5) v. South Carolina 
The Aggies have some momentum after their overtime win against Arkansas. This game is a lock, no analysis needed.

Love
Iowa ML @ Michigan State 
Iowa bounces back from a heart-breaker last weekend with a solid win on the road. MSUs leading rusher is their QB, Brian Lewerke, and Iowa plays too sound of defense to let him beat them with his legs. Iowa by 10.

Minnesota (-13.5) v. Maryland
Maryland is currently on their 4th string QB, who struggled to complete a pass last week when coming in for an injured Kasim Hill. I see more of the same this week especially on the road. On top of that the Gophers seem to have found a rhythm on offense, scoring more than 30 points in their last two contests. Gophers in a blowout.

Wisconsin (-15.5) v. Northwestern 
Wisconsin has only let up 90.7 rush yards per game this season, meaning that the Badgers will neutralize Northwestern's only offensive threat, Justin Jackson. On the other side of the ball, the Badgers have been the definition of efficient. Wisconsin is 5th in the nation in rushing while QB Alex Hornibrook posts a 70 percent completion percentage. Troy Fumagali is the best TE in CFB and will score 2 TDs in this one.

Like
Memphis ML (+175) @ UCF
UCF looked impressive on paper in a win @ Maryland last weekend. But people will forget that Maryland's 3rd string QB got injured and his replacement was thrown into the fire and struggled to move the ball at all. UCF may be legit but Vegas is definitely overestimating them against the Tigers.

SMU (-17) v. Connecticut 
SMU at home will be able to move the ball with ease.

Kansas State (-15) v. Baylor 
Oklahoma struggled last week to put Baylor away early. That wont happen this weekend in Manhattan, K-state by 28.

Upset Special
Texas Tech v. Oklahoma state
Tech is a 10.5 point underdog but they can move the ball on anyone. Will be a crazy site in Lubbock as fireworks light up the sky in this one.

Lock Oklahoma (-28) @ Baylor Home field wont matter at all here as Sooner fans will take over Waco. Baker Mayfield is looking to stay in the Heisman race and the Sooners are looking to impress for the playoff committee, they'll run up the score in this one. Love Auburn (-18) @ Missouri Missouri is letting up 442.7 yards per game, 102nd in the nation. Auburn seemed to struggle last week against Mercer after a valiant effort against Clemson the week prior. Auburn will bounce back and light up the scoreboard, Kamryn Pettway will go for 200+ yards. Iowa (+12.5) v. Penn State  It will be an electric home crowd for the Hawkeyes. Iowa plays sound defense and can slow down Penn State's rushing attack. Nate Stanley has also been a pleasant surprise with 10 TDs and just 1 INT. Iowa will pound the rock with Akrum Wadley and keep this game close. Like Notre Dame (-3.5) @ Michigan State  Notre Dame has looked pretty good this year with their only lose coming by ...

Saturday Smorgasbord

Welcome to the weekly Saturday Smorgasbord, your weekly one stop shop for all things NCAAF, NFL, and MLB. I'll give 4-5 picks each week that I've studied and feel comfortable puting my mortgage on. So here it is...... NCAAF -UCLA(-2.5) This bruins team led by Josh Rosen is just too high powered and talented to not cover this tight spread. The Memphis defense is nothing to forget, but UCLA pulls away late. -Nebraska vs N. Illinois over 56 See Nebraska's defense. Make your money, thank me later. Next..... -Tennessee(+4) It's not that I love this Vols team, but rather a lack of confidence in anything Florida wants to do on Offense. I think it's a tough sledding SEC type game with potentially Florida winning by a FG, take the points. NFL -Atlanta(-2.5) Matt Ryan and Julio have a day picking apart this Green Bay defense. A close game, home field is big in this one with the Falcons being so good at home. MLB Cubs(ML) - Coming off an impressive win on ...
