College Football Picks Week 1

TCU Horned Frogs		Baylor Bears

It's an understatement to say these 2 don't like each other. Baylor will be much improved and although the TCU D will be tough again, not sure the offense will be as potent. Home dog looks ready to pull an upset.

Baylor +3.5

Kent State Golden Flashes		Alabama Crimson Tide

Just too big a mismatch, even when the Tide are down to 3rd string. Bama could win by 70 if they wanted to.

Alabama -37

Western Michigan Broncos		Michigan Wolverines

If Michigan takes care of the football the talent difference carries them to a big difference, TO's could wreck that but the Wolverines the far superior team and at home.

Michigan -14

South Florida Bulls		Notre Dame Fighting Irish

We like the Irish for a good solid season this year and it starts by beating a team who is much better at pulling upsets at home. Notre Dame improving quickly and has too many advantages here.

Notre Dame -10

Brigham Young Cougars		Mississippi Rebels

We nearly pulled the trigger on this one as a Power Play, we expect both teams to be better this and although he respect BYU, they are in a tough spot against an SEC team. BYU 2-7 in road openers and Miss 7-0 SU opening at home off missing a bowl game.

Ole Miss +3

Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks		Florida State Seminoles

Florida St will be very tough this season, no question. They want to prove it out of the gate with a big win and they have the depth to do it even when the 1st string has been pulled.

Florida St -29

Florida Atlantic Owls		Florida Gators

It's often tempting to "other" Florida schools against the Gators as their players are generally playing with a chip on their shoulder to UF for not recruiting them. Problem is, there is a reason they didn't recruit them, Florida 7-1 ATS last 8 vs other Florida schools, make it 8-1 after this pick.

Florida -34.5
