College Football picks against the spread November 6-9, 2018
We have another college football week with 61 FBS vs. FBS matchups going on. Six of them happen even before Saturday, so that gives us some places to pad our bankroll for the big weekend with some College Football Picks.

It has been slow going watching games, and that is going to be the theme for the next couple of weeks. We only have six games before Saturday this week, and it is MACtion packed once again. There is some good football there. Enjoy it!
For those of you that are new to this, I pick every college football game every week. Not a top five. Not a top ten. All of them. Big deal, right? Lots of people make picks. Well, I do them all against the spread! I take the odds of each game and average them out at all the Vegas casinos and round to the nearest half. There will be no ties here. Ties are for the other football.
I also assign a point value based on the confidence I have in each pick. 1 means that I have little to no confidence. 5 is one I would place a decent wager on. I keep track of my record and my points from week to week and year to year. I am aiming for 55% this year. It’s harder than it looks!
This is for entertainment purposes only! I cannot be responsible for the loss of money, possessions, spouses, or limbs because of my picks. I can’t have that on my conscious.
Without further delay, here are the early picks for week 11!
Kent State at Buffalo(-21.5)(3): This line opened at -23, and is now off the board in some spots. That’s a true indicator that Vegas has no idea what to do with this line. I don’t care for the half, but Buffalo is more than capable of covering this. I’ll take the Bulls.
Ohio(-3.5) at Miami(OH)(2): Much like last week, I don’t think Miami is just going to lie down and take it. Ohio’s offense is a really good unit, but the defense is not. Still, I’m not sure the Redhawks can keep this within a touchdown, even at home. I’ll take Ohio.
Toledo at Northern Illinois(-2.5)(3): This looks a little low to me. Toledo is a solid, and maybe even strong team, but I really don’t see them going into DeKalb and winning outright. Give me the Huskies.
Wake Forest at (21)North Carolina State(-16.5)(2): If this weren’t a rivalry game, I would be all over NC State to cover this. However, the Wake offense has looked good lately. Good enough to keep this relatively close. I’ll go Wake.
Louisville at (19)Syracuse(-20.5)(5): This is too low. Louisville’s defense is pretty much at rock bottom, and the second string offense for Syracuse is almost as good as the first. This gets out of hand and stays that way. Give me the Orange.
(23)Fresno State(-2.5) at Boise State(3): This is going to be the most Fresno is tested so far this season, and maybe for the entirety of the season. I see a high scoring game here, but honestly, Fresno’s defense has been pretty impressive over the last month or so after a rougher start to the season. I like Fresno here, probably by more than a touchdown.
