College Football – Week Seven

Week Six brought the first major upset of the year down on the plains in Auburn. Arkansas went in and physically dominated Auburn for 4 quarters en route to a shocking 27-10 victory over the Tigers. Florida followed that up by winning rather easily against LSU at the Swamp. The Buckeyes and Michigan held serve, while West Virginia had another easy game. USC was pushed again by the Huskies of Washington. This week features what was looking to be the game of the year in the SEC only last Friday night. Florida leaves the friendly confines of the Swamp to visit Auburn.

Saturday, October 14th, 2006 – 7:45 PM on ESPN

at

(2) Florida (-2) at (11) Auburn

Generally the home team is given a 3 to 3.5 point advantage when the lines are put out. Given that Auburn is a home underdog by 2 points (meaning to cover the spread the Gators need to win by more than 2 points), the odds makers think that Florida is around 5 points better than Auburn. Seeing as Auburn was absolutely dominated last Saturday by Arkansas, I’d say that is a pretty good bet. One development to be aware of college football fans, Auburn was missing one of their better linebackers for the Arkansas game. His return will allow Auburn to put their best defensive lineup in the game against Chris Leak and Tim Tebow. The key is the continued good play of the Florida quarterbacks. If they continue to play mostly error free, the Gators will win easily. Being that this game is at night, at Auburn, with Auburn’s season hanging in the balance, expect the Tigers to play hard. Can Florida stand up to being #2 in the nation? We will see. What’s for sure is that this is a classic trap game for Florida.



Florida 22 – Auburn 19

Thursday October 12th, 2006 (ESPN Thursday Night Game)


(22) Virginia Tech (-3) at Boston College

This is a critical game for both teams in the weakened ACC. The winner stays in the race for the ACC championship game, while the loser is possibly out of the race altogether.

VT 24 – BC 13

Thursday October 12th, 2006 (ESPNU Thursday Night Game)


Temple at (12) Clemson (-45)

Temple is Temple. Clemson usually struggles against teams they should smoke. I think they come out focused and they MIGHT put up 70 in this game.

Clemson 67 – Temple 0

Navy 28 – Rutgers 22

Minnesota at (25) Wisconsin (-8)

Wisconsin 34 – Minnesota 21

BY REQUEST

New Mexico (-3) at UNLV (Mountain West Conference)

UNLV isn’t a good team and New Mexico can climb back into the MWC race with a win. They should win relatively easily.

UNM 21 – UNLV 15

(19) Missouri (-2) at Texas A&M



Missouri is on a roll. They finally beat someone of note last weekend. Texas A&M was 3 bad play calls by Bobby Ross away from being upset by Army. With another heartbreaking loss against Texas Tech, they came out listless against a mediocre Kansas team. Missouri is looking at a showdown with Nebraska coming up, but they shouldn’t overlook Texas A&M.

Mizzou 28 – Texas A&M 13

Overall:

It wasn’t a good week for the home team. My picks weren’t the best and even my normally reliable straight up picks were bad (14-7).

102-21 Straight UP
69-51-3 Against the Spread
