College football kicks off tonight! Week 1 of college football is always fun to watch, because everyone has a "chance" to succeed. As usual, I have tweaked my system, and I am ready to bounce back from a terrible 2011-2012 college football season. Should be a lot of fun. Feedback is welcome, and I look forward to interacting as the season progresses. Good luck! Below are tonight's picks:

**2 Unit Picks**
Vanderbilt +6.5

*1 Unit Pick*
Washington State +12

Always good to start in the season in the black. After watching much of the Washington State game last night, I would expect to see some value in their upcoming lines. This is a team that is much better than they played last night, and they have a coach that will not settle for 224 yards of total offense on a weekly basis. Just a thought. As for tonight and the remainder of the weekend, my picks are posted below. Time permitting, I will likely have some writeups coming later today or early tomorrow morning.

Not a terrible start to the College Football season. We are in the black heading into Week 2. This week's card doesn't present a ton of opportunities, but I am looking for it to be a successful week. Tonight, I have just one 2 Unit pick on tap. My system has Utah State losing this game by less than a field goal. Good luck and tomorrow's picks will be posted this evening!

**2 Unit Pick**
Utah State +7

Good luck today! I like Purdue and Wisky, but not OK St, I think Arizona on upset alert!!

[The Knuckleballer]

Good luck akatdrake! I have Oklahoma State winning by 16+ in this matchup. I hate being on the same side as the public, which is why my Oklahoma State pick is just a 1 Unit Pick. Same with Wisconsin, although I think they will likely win by 16+ as well.

Great week! We went 5-2 in Week 2 of College Football, losing just two 1 Unit Picks. That makes two winning weeks in a row to start the season. The "dogs" were barking yesterday, which left us with several questions that will have to be answered over the course of the season. Is Michigan even a Top 25 team? Can Arkansas bounce back, or does the loss to Louisiana Monroe leave them devastated? Will Gene Chizik be on the hot seat if they go 5-7 (or worse)? These questions are what make College Football so great. Good luck and check out my NFL picks!

Week 2 was a lot of fun! I have a solid 3 Unit Pick on tap for Thursday night. According to my system, Rutgers at South Florida should be a pickem. Both teams are 2-0 to start the season. The public is on South Florida, and we are seeing some strong reverse line movement. Don't be suprised if Rutgers pulls off the "upset" on the road tomorrow night. Good luck and gear up for another big week of College Football!

***3 Unit Pick***
Rutgers +8

We are off to a great start, and I am looking to gain momentum as the season progresses. I have 10 picks on tap this Saturday. Of note, Kentucky is on UPSET ALERT this week as they face the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky. My system has Western Kentucky winning by 3+ points at Kentucky. Alabama was too much for the Hilltoppers to handle, but Kentucky provides them with a great opportunity to knock off an SEC team. Enjoy the picks and please post any questions you might have regarding the picks posted below or any other games on the board. Good luck!

What a start to the season! My system is red hot going into Week 4, and we are looking to pick up some more units after three winning weeks in a row. This week's slate of games is very attractive. My favorite matchup is #21 Arizona at #3 Oregon. Per my ratings, Arizona has the 24th most effective defense in the country. Oregon is giving up 24.3 points per game, but they allow teams to convert just 15.6% of their 3rd down attempts. Should be an interesting matchup that has a lot more defense than the experts are predicting. Take Arizona and the under in this game. My system is projecting a final score of Arizona 28-Oregon 40. Good luck!

Kentucky +23
Maryland +25.5

Week 4 College Football Picks Continued

I am adding a late night value play to the card. The Arizona ML is currently at +950. My system gives Arizona a chance at winning this game, especially using just 2012 stats. Thus, it is worth a small 1 Unit Pick. Good luck and enjoy the game!
