1. Florida @ Georgia (FL -6)
Pick: Florida to cover.
Why: Georgia has not played good defense against any caliber opponent this year. Don't expect them to be able to stop Tebow/Harvin/Dempes and the Florida offense. Florida big here.
2. Texas @ Texas Tech (TX -4)
Pick: Texas Tech with the points.
Why: The Texas defense is vasty overrated. And that is saying a lot considering they play in the worst defensive conference in the country. I like Tech in the possible upset here at home. The throw the ball all over and Texas is weak here.
3. Miami @ Virginia (VA -2)
Pick: Virgina to cover.
Why: UVA has it rolling now. The offense is coming together and they have seen the hardest parts of their season. Playing at home against a very inconsistant Miami offense/defense. UVA wins this one well.
4. Oregon @ California (CA -3)
Pick: Oregon with the points.
Why: Oregon wins this game. They have a better overrall defense and their offense is coming into their own. Cal has too many problems at the QB position to count them as a real threat. Oregon has been playing very well with the issues they have.
5. Nebraska @ Oklahoma (OK -22)
Pick: Nebraska with the points.
Why: Oklahoma has no defense. I don't think Nebraska can win, but their defense is better than Oklahoma and they have shown they can score a bit too.
6. TCU @ UNLV (TCU -14)
Pick: UNLV with the points.
Why: TCU's offense isn't great and UNLV has played surprisingly well. Coach Sanford has these kids playing with some fire. UNLV won't win but they make it close.
7. West Virginia @ Connecticut (WV -4)
Pick: Connecticut with the points.
Why: UConn has played well on defense at times this year and can put up some points. WV is a hot and cold team, I think UConn can win this one at home.
8. Boise State @ New Mexico State (BSU -20)
Pick: New Mexico State with the points.
Why: NM can put points on the board and BSU hasn't shown a ton of defense against teams that spread the ball around. BSU wins, but won't cover.
9. Florida State @ Georgia Tech (GT -2)
Pick: Florida State with the points.
Why: Florida State wins this game. GT is vastly overrated and FSU is playing pretty well this year. FSU's defense will hold this Tech team down.
10. Missouri @ Baylor (MO -20)
Pick: Baylor with the points.
Why: Baylor's young QB can really throw the ball and Mizzou doesn't play defense. Mizzou wins but not by 20.
