NCAAF Game Picks

Week 8

#17Oklahoma State (6-1) @ Kansas St (5-2)

  Oklahoma State is coming off their first loss and go on the road to face a decent Kansas St team. Decent meaning they wont be able to hang with the Cowboys.

  Oklahoma St 45, Kansas St 17

#15Arizona (6-1) @ Ucla (3-4)

  Ucla hasn't done much since upsetting Texas but all that means is they might be due for a good performance at home against a good Arizona team. I expect Ucla to keep it within striking distnace but fade late.

  Arizona 26, Ucla 16

Florida (4-3) @ Georgia (4-4)

  Rarely does game mean so little in the grand scheme of things but it still has to be played. Florida has more talent and should be better coming off a bye.

  Florida 31, Georgia 23

#6Missouri (7-0) @ #14Nebraska (6-1)

  Missouri looked impressive beating #1Oklahoma last week but i think they suffer their first loss this weekend on the road. It will come down to QB Taylor Martinez making more plays for Nebraska than QB Blaine Gabbert makes for Missouri. 

  Missouri 24, Nebraska 34

#5Michigan St (8-0) @ #18Iowa (5-2)

  Michigan St is undefeated but still comes into this game as Las Vegas underdogs. I think Iowa is too physical for Michigan St and that will be the key to Iowa's victory.

  Michigan St 20, Iowa 28

#1Auburn (8-0) @ Ole Miss (3-4)

  The #1 team in the country has lost three weeks in a row and i see this as being week 4 with that happening. Auburn QB Cam Newton is bound to have a bad game, or atleast average, and it might be this one. Ole Miss QB Jeremiah Masoli will be the absolute key to this game. If he can outperform Newton then Ole Miss will come away with the upset.

  Auburn 30, Ole Miss 34

#2Oregon (7-0) @ USC (5-2)

  This Saturday's primetime game is a good one. Oregon is in a spot they have rarely ever been in program history and USC certainly wants to spoil that. USC QB Matt Barkley has the Trojans offense rolling and the defense seems to be coming along as the Ducks come to town. Oregon's offense is among the best in the nation but their only weakness might be the defense. The key to this game will be which defense can get more stops. I believe that the Ducks defense is much more opportunistic and will come up with big plays. Should be a great game, especially if you're a Duck fan.

  Oregon 47, USC 34

NCAAF Game Picks

Week 8

#7Michigan St. (7-0) @ Northwestern (5-1)

  Michigan St. is in the thick of college football's best teams but they should not take Northwestern lightly. Led by QB Dan Persa, the Wildcats have the ability to hang with Michigan St.

  Mighigan St. 31, Northwestern 23

Mississippi (3-3) @ #23Arkansas (4-2)

  Both teams are coming off road losses to ranked teams but Arkansas has to deal with questions at the quarterback position because of a concussion suffered by starter Ryan Mallet. However, backup Tyler Wilson is more than capable of leading his team to victory. Can Jeremiah Masoli help Ole Miss pull the upset?

  Ole Miss 30, Arkansas 31

#6LSU @ #4Auburn

  The ranking make this game look even but i don't think anybody believes LSU is the 6th best team in the country. While LSU struggles to find an offense, QB Cam Newton of Auburn can move the ball with ease. LSU is finally exposed on the road.

  LSU 23, Auburn 38

#13Wisconsin (6-1) @ #15Iowa (5-1)

  Two 1 loss teams come into this game with the goal of leaving as a legitimate challenger in the Big Ten. Wisconsin is coming off a huge win and will be able to avoid a letdown but not avoid a loss. This game will be a game of tough, old fashioned football but in the end Iowa QB Ricky Stanzi will be the difference.

  Wisconsin 20, Iowa, 24

#16Nebraska (5-1) @ #14Oklahoma St (6-0)

  Nebraska enters this game a a week after a disappointing home loss to Texas as Oklahoma St. enters fresh off  a nice road victory. The problem for Oklahoma St will be stopping QB Taylor Martinez and i don't believe they have to ability to do so.

  Nebraska 38, Oklahoma State 27

#1Oklahoma (6-0) @ #11Missouri (6-0)

  I don't think this prime time clash of Big 12 undefeated teams will live up to the hype. Oklahoma has too many weapons on offense to be stopped and i don't see Missouri hanging with the Sooners.

  Oklahoma 45, Missouri 20

Washington (3-3) @ #18Arizona (5-1)

  Arizona's starting QB Nick Foles won't play in this one and the Huskies QB Jake Locker is a bit banged up but this game should be a good one. The Wildcats' backup is more than capable and Washington is coming off an upset win against Oregon St. I have this one going the way of the Huskies as Jake Locker is able to make more plays than Arizona.

  Washington 31, Arizona 27
