College Football Picks Against The Spread Early September 10

Do you want the college football picks for every game? I’m sure a few internet searches could give you what you are looking for. How about against the spread? Now it gets a little tricky. You have several sites that will show you a handful of picks. You have more that will sell them to you. Here you will get every spread for every 1-A vs. 1-A football game. All season long!

I had a rough week in week 1, going just 16-24. I did even worse with my points system, losing 29 points. All of the games are assigned a rank from least confidence (1) to most (5). Look for those at the end of every line to see just how confident I am in each pick. It also makes it easier to get back to even, or to fall even farther.

In case you don’t know what I do here, I pick every college football game of the season. Against the spread. Trust me, it’s not as easy as it sounds! I take the average of the odds from all of the Vegas casinos. I then round to the nearest half. There will be no ties here. Ties are for the other football (soccer).

A large number of the games once again feature games against 1-AA schools. These games will not be picked because it is too hard to get an accurate spread. Most casinos wont post a line on these games anyway.

This is for entertainment purposes only! I cannot be responsible for you losing any of your worldly possessions (or limbs) because of my picks. These are a guideline that you can use to help you with your picks. I am a simple man. I can’t have that on my conscience.

There are 21 early afternoon games in College Football this week. Let’s get to it!

Central Michigan at (22)Oklahoma State(-20.5)(2): I want to see something from Oklahoma State first. The MAC already beat a Big Ten(14) team. The Chippewas usually have a decent team. This line has managed to stay below three touchdowns. I would feel much better about this if it were a point higher. I will go with Central Michigan.

North Carolina State(-5.5) at East Carolina(3): Minnesota transfer Philip Nelson had a really good game for the Pirates in the opener. I still don’t know if the ECU defense can stop Matt Dayes. I will take NC State.

Penn State at Pittsburgh(-4.5)(2): Penn State’s defense is pretty solid, and Saquon Barkley is a very good back. Pitt is a better passing team than Penn State, but I don’t know if James Conner is healthy enough to pull this off. He has made a great comeback, but I don’t think he is there yet. Penn State is the safer pick. Give me the Nittany Lions.

Central Florida at (5)Michigan(-35.5)(2): Dismantling Hawaii is one thing. UCF at least has a pulse. I’m not saying they will come close to winning this game – they wont – but they should keep it within five touchdowns. I’ll take UCF.

Cincinnati(-6.5) at Purdue(4): Cincinnati has a better QB and much better receivers. Anything under a touchdown, even on the road, seems like easy money. Give me the Bearcats.

Rice at Army(-8.5)(2): Army looked very impressive in the first week. You can’t say the same for Rice. I’m rolling with Army at home here.

Boston College(-16.5) at Massachusetts(1): I don’t like lines like this from teams lacking a good offense. BC didn’t even score 17 last week. UMass hung with a good Florida team. Give me the Minutemen at home.

Wyoming at Nebraska(-24.5)(2): Nebraska looked good last week, but so did the Cowboys. Craig Bohl is in his third year at Wyoming. He is turning this program around. A good showing at a place like Nebraska will turn some heads. I think he gets it. Nebraska will still win by around three touchdowns or so, but I think Wyoming hangs around for a while.

Troy at (2)Clemson(-35.5)(2): Auburn’s defense held down a really good Clemson offense. Don’t expect Troy to do the same. I have a feeling that Auburn’s defense is just really good. There is nothing wrong with the Clemson offense. They prove that here. Give me Clemson.

Georgia State at Air Force(-20.5)(1): This looks a little high for two option offenses. I will roll with Georgia State, I guess.

Utah State at USC(-15.5)(2): I think Utah State can hang around for a little while, but USC is going to be too much for them at some point. They aren’t nearly as bad as Alabama made them look. I will take USC.

Ohio at Kansas(-2.5)(1): You don’t see this very often, and I’m not just talking about Kansas being favored. This line opened with Ohio favored by 9.5. That’s an eleven point swing! I would have felt much better about taking this game with Ohio more than a one score favorite. I’m not sure that Kansas has come this far quite yet. I will take Ohio, but I have no confidence in it.

Connecticut at Navy(-4.5)(3): This line has fallen three points, and it shouldn’t have. Navy for anything under a touchdown feels safe, especially at home. Give me the Middies.

Tulsa at (4)Ohio State(-28.5)(2): Tulsa has a good offense, so I think they can hang around for a while. Ohio State has the habit doubting themselves when a team stays close. This is too high. Give me Tulsa.

Wake Forest at Duke(-5.5)(4): Wake’s defense looked good against Tulane, but that was Tulane. Duke has a good offense and a better coach. This has easy money written all over it. Give me Duke.

Old Dominion at Appalachian State(-20.5)(3): Last year, the Monarchs might have been able to hang around. Not this year. Give me Appalachian.

Akron at (10)Wisconsin(-23.5)(2): This one has letdown written all over it. I don’t expect the Badgers to lose, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they make Wisconsin sweat this a little. Give me the Zips.

Nevada at (18)Notre Dame(-28.5)(3): Texas is better than most people thought. Notre Dame is going to come out swinging here. They will have this covered by halftime! Give me the Irish.

Kentucky at Florida(-16.5)(2): I don’t trust the Florida offense. I trust Kentucky even less. Then again, Florida didn’t even cover UMass by that. Give me Kentucky.

Western Kentucky at (1)Alabama(-28.5)(5): Really? The oddmakers feel that little of USC? This is too low. Roll Tide!

SMU at (23)Baylor(-31.5)(1): I don’t trust this. We didn’t learn anything from Baylor against a 1-AA team. SMU played an opponent that wasn’t much better. Give me SMU, I guess.
