College Football Picks

Our BYU vs UCF prediction: the No. 2 Cougars lay 6.5 in Orlando against a backup QB and a bye-week Knights team. Here’s why the number still looks short.

Boise has never won in Pullman, and a new Cougars QB just changed the math on a two-touchdown spread. Our Boise State vs Washington State prediction.

USC lays 3 at Camp Randall off a bye, and Wisconsin just threw for 66 yards at UCLA. My USC at Wisconsin pick backs the Trojans on Saturday night.

Iowa vs Minnesota picks for the Floyd of Rosedale: the Hawkeyes own a top-three ground game, and the Gophers can’t run. Here’s our pick and projected score.

RBD fades his best model ever — the NP Under — and takes the Over 58.5 in Saturday’s Rutgers at Northwestern matchup. Full analysis inside.

Two top-10 scoring offenses, a late kick and a Houston pass defense that leaks. My Houston vs Utah prediction is on the Over in Salt Lake City.

Pitt vs Miami prediction: the No. 1 Canes lay 20.5 with a 50.5 total, and Pitt’s QB mess plus a windy forecast shapes our best bet for Saturday.

Indiana vs Michigan picks: the No. 6 Hoosiers lay 7 in Ann Arbor with a 41.5 total as a freshman QB gets the keys for the Wolverines. Our play inside.

Texas Tech vs Cincinnati prediction: the unbeaten Red Raiders lay 10.5 at Nippert with a 56.5 total, and there’s history behind this one. Our best bet.

Two defenses that bleed yards, a turnover-prone freshman QB and a total that looks short. My Vanderbilt vs Kentucky pick is the Over in Lexington.
