Well here we are in week 3 already of the college football season, and I for one am very happy that there is football on almost everyday. A very big game is on tap for this weekend, between Alabama and Texas A&M and I will be very happy if the Crimson Tide knocks Johnny Football down a peg or two, we shall see. Below are my picks for this weekend's college football card. 

My first best bet is on the LOUISVILLE CARDINALS on the road at Kentucky laying 14 points. I would have liked this line to stay under 2 TDs but I think everyone who follows football knows that Louisville's QB Teddy Bridgewater is for real and will be a Heisman contender. Louisville has won and covered the last 2 against Kentucky and I don't see that trend changing. The road team in this matchup is 4-1 ATS and after Saturday it will be 5-1 ATS. I can't see the Cardinals taking their foot off the gas pedal as they try and move up the polls from their 7 spot at the moment. This is definitely one of my stronger BEST BETS, take Louisville in a rout. 

My next best bet is on the STANFORD CARDINAL on the road spotting Army 30 points. My first question about this game is who in the Army football program scheduled Stanford, are you kidding me, really Stanford??? The one and ONLY reason Stanford would not cover this game is because they pulled their 1st, 2nd and 3rd string players and possibly being a west coast team they are playing at noon which for them is 9 o'clock in the morning. However, they are bigger, stronger and faster than Army so I for one think the Cardinal will win this game going away, make Stanford a BEST BET.

My last best bet this weekend is on the FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLES at home giving Nevada 34 1/2 points. I am happy that the line on this game stayed under 5 TDs because maybe by the time the half comes FSU may already have covered this number and pull their starters, but with Bethune Cookman their next game they will definitely be focused on Nevada which is really bad news for the Wolfpack. These 2 teams have never met and I'm guessing after Saturday that Nevada will not schedule FSU again no matter how much money they get. This is my last stong play this weekend and I will make Florida State a BEST BET.

I do have some regular plays that were oh so close to being best bets. They are - Pittsburgh at home spotting New Mexico 22 points, Maryland on the road giving Connecticut 6 1/2 points, Northern Illinois on the road spotting Idaho 28 1/2 points and what I hope is a romp, Alabama on the road at Texas A&M laying 7 points.

As for over/unders I like the over 58 1/2 in the Kansas/Rice game, the over 62 1/2 in the Bowling Green/Indiana game, Western Kentucky/South Alabama over 55, and finally I like the over 62 1/2 in the Louisville/Kentucky game.

Well that's it for this week in college football, and may the best team win in the Alabama/Texas A&M game, and like I always say

Bet with your head and not over it.
