College Football Picks Week 3

Northern Illinois Huskies		Illinois Fighting Illini

The Illini gained some confidence last week and that should carry through to this one as NIU has lost too much from recent strong dogs.

Illinois -7

East Carolina Pirates		Virginia Tech Hokies

Solid line value here, VaTech certainly bounces back against defenseless Pirates, not ready for an angry, motivated Tech team at home.

Virginia Tech -19.5

Tulsa Golden Hurricane		Oklahoma State Cowboys

Simple math, neither team can stop anybody.

OVER 69

Louisville Cardinals		Oregon State Beavers

Line just keeps rising in this one but with good reason, Beavers look to be able to score 50+ and this Cardinals team can't keep up.

Oregon St -20

Texas Longhorns		Texas Tech Red Raiders

Too many question marks for Texas, now taking a young team into a tough road game where Tuberville is very ready to make his first big statement.

Texas Tech +3.5

Mississippi State Bulldogs		LSU Tigers

These will battle in a very physical game that stays close throughout. Take the points.

Mississippi St +8

Boise State Broncos		Wyoming Cowboys

Interesting spot for Boise St - sandwich situation and no longer in a MUST get blowout wins scenario. Never easy going to Wyoming and you know the Cowboys would love to dash Broncos dreams - probably can't knock them off but will give them a game.

Wyoming +23.5
