Week 9 and the sad news is that Trevore Lawrence is out for Clemson this week and possibly next week with a postive COV19 test. A few more games have been cancelled this week including Wisky/Neb, Marshall/FIU and North Texas/UTEP. So I had a good week last week going 4 out of 5 losing my WVU/TxT game, but very pleased all in all. So below are my picks for this week in college.

My first pick is Tulsa at home on Friday giving 17 points to East Carolina.  I know this line is a little high but believe it or not this is Tulsa's first home game and they will be heading out on the road again next week at Navy. Tulsa is 4-0 ATS the last 4 against the Pirates and you know how I love trends. Give me the Golden Hurricanes to win and cover this hugh number.

My next pick is Minnesota on the road on Friday giving 20 points to Maryland.  It seems that Maryland is still in a rebuilding phase as they only scored 3 points last week against Northwestern while the Gophers managed to score 24 against Michigan. Laying almost 3 tds is scary but it is Halloween weekend so just saying "I ain't afriad of no scary ghosts and goblins. Give me Minny to win and cover.

My next pick is Mississippi on the road giving 16 points to Vanderbilt.  I actually watched Mississippi last week lose the game to Auburn and on a call that should have been reviewed and wasn't and now the SEC is apologizing to the Rebels. However, Lane Kiffin is beyond furious and righfully so and I can see him and his team taking their frustrations out and beating the snot out of Vandy. Give me the angry Rebels.

My next pick is the Iowa State/Kansas game going over 52. Kansas is awful and the Cyclones are pissed about losing last week so I think ISU could go over this total by themselves. So I will call this game to go into the 60s especially if ISU lets the Jayhawks score a td or 2.

My last pick is Georgia on the road giving 16 points to Kentucky. The Bulldogs have had 2 weeks to lick their wounds being beat soundly by Alabama. Kentucky has a decent team but offensively their starting qb this week has passed a grand total of 6 times, so if they are going to have a chance they are going to have to run against the Bulldogs and if I know that you better believe so does Georgia. I like Georgia to rebound here against basically a 1-dimensional team. 

Some of the other games on my radar were Iowa State giving 28 points to Kansa, like ISU to rebound but don't want to get backdoored again by Kansas. I also Cincy to cover the 6 points against Memphis and I also like the over 55 in this game. I like Indiana to cover the 10 points against Rutgers but is this the new Rutgers team or is Mich State that bad. I like Notre Dame to cover the 19 points against Georgia Tech but a little nervous they are looking ahead to the Clemson showdown. I think my Boise State Smurfs will cover the 14 against Air Force but I want to see how they do on the road first. I like the over 59 in the Temple/Tulane game. I like Ohio State at Penn State but I don't like laying 11 1/2 to PSU. I like A&M to cover the 12 points against Arkansas but I can see a possible backdoor cover. I like North Carolina to cover the 6 poinst against Virginia but not one of my top picks. And finally I think BYU and Zack can name the number against WKU but they may sit Zack in the 2nd half and that 28 1/2 number is screaming backdoor cover.

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