    Analysis

    Is this a homer pick? Possibly. But after what I saw last week in person against Iowa State, I'm convinced that my Arizona Wildcats are the real deal. This game was a 16-point advance line in August and has moved down to just about a field goal. I have no idea how Texas Tech will respond after being throttled by Cincinnati last week, the same Bearcats team who lost 34-7 to Arizona in Tucson earlier this month. The Wildcats have the second-best passing attack in the Big 12 and a Heisman finalist contender in Noah Fifita. Texas Tech has the third worst pass defense in the Big 12. I smell an upset. Arizona 27, Texas Tech 23.

    Picked: Oct 30 @ 4:50am

    Analysis

    Wanna know how I am a sports nerd? I stay up late/get up early to wait for the FCS lines so I can jump them before anyone gets a sense. True story. So I suppose 50% dedication, 25% smart and 25% Lambda Lambda Lambda. Princeton has looked great in its two home games, and Cornell's only road win in three tries is at Georgetown, which honestly I didn't know had a football team until today. Obviously grew up on the Hoops Hoyas. Ivy League game notes are hilarious. They mention some football stuff but mainly who their parents are and donors. So not much help there. What I'm seeing is generally Princeton by about 3.5 model-wise.

    Spread
    Picked: Oct 30 @ 10:48am

    Analysis

    Consistency is the key in this era of college football and no team exemplifies that more than the Illinois Fighting Illini. I love the way they play ball on both sides of the field, and that consistency will be more than enough for them to travel to Maryland and take care of business against the Terps; who are going through a coaching change.

    Spread
    Picked: Oct 30 @ 10:52am

    Analysis

    One thing that stood out, even in a loss, was QB Colston Joseph of Wisconsin. Luke Fickell has done a solid job of coaching this team and has them ranked in the Top 25. In a game that features two solid defense, trust the offense that can make something happen to get enough to give their team a shot and right now, that's Wisconsin.

    Over/Under
    Picked: Oct 30 @ 11:29am

    Analysis

    The Illini offense has been moving slower lately, and now they're on the road with a true freshman QB making his first road start. They're likely to lean on the ground game even more. Meanwhile, Maryland is playing its first game since firing Mike Locksley and the school is offering free tuition to one lucky student that sticks around for all four quarters. There may be more Illini fans in attendance this Saturday.
