Stanford is leading the way for us today. They had a very inconsistent game against Kansas State in the opener, and did not play up to their best ability in my opinion. There were certainly signs that Hogan is being missed behind center. But the Cards have McCaffery and he means a heck of a lot. Lets face it, Heltons Trojans flat got embarrassed by Bama in the opener and then they beat a decent Utah State team. USC is too talented to lay another egg and will have its moments in this game. It will be a thriller through three quarters and then the big one from McCaffery on a tired USC defense will break the Trojans.
PICK: Stanford -8
Time for our Saturday over call. Akron at Marshall. These two teams will be throwing the ball a lot in this one. Akron is going to try and hit the long ball all afternoon. and they will connect on a few. However the Akron defense is giving up 75% pass completion to opposing QBS. Expect the Herd and Litton to take advantage of this. Litton throws for 350 5 TD.
Pick: Akron/Marshall over 56
Normally I can be a sucker for the home underdog small school. But not on this one. Appy State had their chance and could not close out a Tennessee team that didn't show up to play. They wont get another chance. Miami has a great one two punch in the backfield with Walton and Yearby each averaging over 8yds a carry. And the Miami defense is first in the nation on run defense. Miami will limit the big plays from the Mountaineers making life rough treading today.
Pick: Miami -4
Bonus Oktoberfest Fest Pick: Michigan State +7
Good Luck
Happy Oktoberfest!!
