@EdgySam: #Utah vs. #OregonState, #THEPICK!

Like #Pitt, #OregonState is the higher rated team over #Utah tonight, but, comes into their home game as an underdog. Like the #Panthers, I just don't have a lot of faith in the Beavers this year. In their only real tough matchup of the year, they got throttled by USC.
I'm taking Oregon State because they are the higher rated team, but, I recommend only a small play on the Beavers.

This will be the last week of the complimentary picks.

@EdgySam: #VirginiaTech vs. #Pitt, #THEPICK

In the #VirginiaTech vs. #Pitt contest, you have two QBs in Voytik and Brewer, respectively, who have played in a sub-par manner.
Virginia Tech has lost its top RB in Edmunds to injury, and another contributor at the RB position in Williams. The Panther rush offense started strong this year, but, has become mediocre in its last three games vs. Virginia, Akron and Iowa.
Both teams have played decently against the pass, not as well against the run. My hope both teams will turn to grind it out offensive attacks.
The under is the play in the Virginia Tech/Pitt contest.

I have Pitt rated higher than the Hokies under my collegeedge ratings, and Pitt is the slight underdog. I just don't like that the Panthers have played progressively worse each game they've played since the FIU win. For that reason, just a small play on Pitt in this game.

This will probably be the last week of complimentary picks.

@EdgySam: #ULL at #TexasSt, #THEPICK!

ULL is the higher rated team tonight in their away game at Texas St, according to my CollegeEdge team ratings. I think they should be favored in the game. They are underdogs.
ULL is well coached by Mike Hudspeth, they have experience at the QB position with senior Broadway, all of their '13 RBs in the fold and 4 starters back in the offensive line. They also have 7 starters back on defense.
Texas St. has decent returnees back on offense, but, I honestly don't think they match the Cajuns' talented offensive weapons. The Bobcats have only 3 starters back on defense after losing their best defensive player, LB Michael Orakpo, for the year to injury.
I do fear the fact Texas St. is home and are coached by a very good coach, Dennis Franchione.
Look for QB Broadway and RBs Harris and McGuire to lead the way tonight.
Take ULL Cajuns.

@EdgySam: #AirForce vs. #UtahState, #THEPICK

#AirForce has beaten #BoiseState and #Navy in consecutive weeks in impressive fashion. They come into this game tonight at Utah State as an uderdog. Despite the Aggies almost inexplicable win over BYU last week, the fact is this Logan, Utah squad has only 4.5 starters back on defense, and 3.5 starters back on offense, which includes the loss of all-star QB Keeton.
The higher rated team under my collegeedge ratings is AirForce, and they come into this game as a sizable underdog.
Take the Falcons.

@EdgySam: #OleMiss @ #TexasAM, #THEPICK!

Gulp: #TexasAM home on a Saturday night? The game starts at 9:15p.m.? I smell bedlam. That's okay. In my opinion, the wrong team is favored in the game, and, yes, I did take into account the Aggies are home on a Saturday night. Mississippi State didn't let down after their big win over Texas A&M last week, and I don't think Ole Miss will let down tonight after their big win last over 'Bama.
Take Mississippi

@EdgySam: #Washington vs. #California, #THEPICK!

Yeah: Always thrilled when the team I like is being bet against by the public. I have Washington as the higher rated team under my collegeedge ratings. The Huskies are getting points in their game vs. California.
Doesn't hurt that in the Stanford game, Washington played  tough in their 13-20 loss.
Take Washington

@EdgySam: #TCU vs.#Baylor & #Auburn vs. #MissSt, #THEPICKS!

Not crazy about the fact the public likes these same two teams, but, here are my two 3:30p.m. plays, both situations where my collegeedge ratings have the wrong team favored: TCU and Mississippi State.
