Week 8 and we welcome the BIG10 and Mountain West conferences and now we have more games to choose from but except for OSU I am going to wait a week to see what we have.  Anyway below are my picks for this week in college.

My first pick is Ohio State at home giving 26 points to Nebraska.  This Buckeye team has ground to makeup and they will start with the Cornhuskers. Buckeyes to cover this number.

My next pick is Alabama on the road giving 21 points to Tennessee.  This is a Bama team that is on fire offensively with Mac Jones tossing 10 tds and 2 ints the past 3 games. I can't see Vols qb Guarantano even remotely keeping up with Jones.(no pun intended) Saban and the Tide will ROLL.

My next pick is Liberty at home giving 10 points to Southern Mississippi.  This Liberty team has been on my radar now for a few weeks and after watching them beat Cuse on the road by 17, I have finally decided to back them this week. The Flames are on a 5-0 SU and 3-2 ATS. The Golden Eagles have had multiple COVID problems and their interim HC just tested positive, this a team in disarray. I give the nod to Liberty here to take control of this game early and never look back.

My next pick is the Tulsa/South Florida game on Friday night going over 50. I know these 2 teams usually go under the total, but if you look at the Bulls defensively they are allowing almost 40 pts a game and with and o/u of 50 I will call this an over. 

My last pick is West Virginia on the road giving 3 points to Texas Tech. The Mountaineers, I am sure had this game circled as the got beat by the Red Raiders last year on their home turf by 3 tds their first loss SU and ATS to the Red Raiders in 3 years. Look for the WVU to easily cover the 3 points.

Some of the other games on my radar were Iowa State getting 3 points from Okie State, I think they win this game outright just wish it wasn't on the road. I also like Boston College at home giving Georgia Tech 3 points, it's a mystery to me why BC gets no respect. I think Air Force will beat SDSU by at least a td only because this is SDSU's first game. I think KSU can name the score against rival Kansas but 20 is backdoor coverable. I like Wisky on Friday night at home to beat Illinois but maybe 19 points is too much for both of these teams first game. I think my Boise State Smurfs will come out of the gate swinging and without Love, Utah State will not be a big threat but 19 is a lot to spot for both of these teams first game. I think South Carolina could cover and possibly win against LSU but the game is in Baton Rouge and it's at night, but I think the Gamecocks keep it within the 7 points. And finally I think Miami will easily handle Virginia. 

I will be back late Saturday night with my NFL picks.
