1. North Carolina State +33 vs Clemson: it’s the first cold night game of the year. Temperature will be in the 30’s with some wind. I think Clemson wins but runs the ball in the second half to waste clock and win by 24. Gimme the points.

2. Florida State +2.5 @ Boston College: Taggert out in Tallahassee. The kids will play for Haggins, he’s 2-0 as an interim coach. I think he rallies the Noles and gets them to .500.

3. Notre Dame -7.5 @ Duke: Brian Kelley might be playing for his job with Urban Meyer lurking in the shadows. This wouldn’t be a statement win but if he can have a blowout here and win out he keeps his job.

4. Illinois +15 @ Michigan State: Lovie Smith has the Illini playing good football even beating Wisconsin. I don’t think they’ll win here but I also like getting 2 tds. Michigan State can’t score points. I don’t see how they score enough to get up by two tds. Gimme the points here, easy win.

5. Penn State -6.5 @ Minnesota: Even though this is the biggest college football game in the history of the state of Minnesota, I like the Nittany Lions. I think the Gophers have had a good season but now they are playing a real team who can score and play great defense. Minnesota gets exposed here and Penn State proves they are a level above.

6. Baylor -2.5 @ T.C.U.: No one believes that the Bears are for real. All the money is on the Horned Frogs, I really like the Bears here to win big and shut some critics up here.

7. UMass +34.5 @ Army: It will be cold with possible snow in southern New York. Army will pound the rock all game long and run the clock. I know UMass might be the worst team in the FBS but I don’t see Army covering this large number with the weather and the way they run the ball, gimme the points.

8. Wisconsin -9 vs Iowa: The Hawkeyes can’t score points. It will be close in the first half but I think the Badgers make just enough second half plays to cover win by 2 tds, they are just the better team.

9. West Virginia +2.5 vs Texas Tech: Give me the Mountaineers in a shootout at home. First cold week of the year, give me the home team to win a close game.

10. FIU +10 @ FAU: This is the battle of who is the next coach of F.S.U., with Lane Kiffin at FAU and Butch Davis at FIU. I believe these are the two leading candidates for the Noles job. I think the Owls won but the game is very close the whole time, proving both coaches deserve the bigger program.

Mortal Lock Of The Week: This one has been so hard. (That’s what she said) I have been going back and forth between my head and heart and who I think will win. How can I look at Nick Saban and not pick Bama? But also how can I not pick LSU who has 3 wins over top ten teams? So I have decided to pick with my heart .

Money Line +135 LSU for the Win!!!! Geaux Tigers!!!!
