It's Wednesday, so that means it's time for my weekly college football picks. Like always these picks are for entertainment purposes only, so be careful how you play with them. Here we go:
My game of the week - De Facto Big Ten Championship:
Penn State @ Ohio State +2.5 -- It's tough to pick against an Ohio State underdog, at home, under the lights, but this isn't the same ol' Ohio State and it definitely isn't the same ol' Penn State. I think that OSU's walloping of Michigan State was misleading, in that they can handle a one dimensional team such as MSU, but will have difficulty with what JoPa will be bringing.
PICK: Penn St. -2.5
The Others:
USC @ Arizona +16.5 -- Now that USC got its one loss out of the way, they appear unstoppable. Add Arizona to the list of Pac 10 foes that USC will steamroll on its path to the BCS championship.
PICK: USC -16.5
Alabama @ Tennessee +6.5 -- I can't say much about this matchup other than I'm going to continue with the theme of picking road favorites to cover. That strategy has to bite me in the ass, right? Oh, well.
PICK: Alabama -6.5
Wake Forest @ Miami -3 -- This young Miami teams seem to have started to get on the right track. The freshman quarterback looked impressive, albeit against Duke. It's time for me to take a home favorite.
PICK: Miami - 3
Northwestern @ Indiana +8 -- I don't know what it is, but I like something about this Northwestern team. They are handling their business against teams they should beat, and this week should be no different against a weak Indiana team. Oh look, another home dog.
PICK: Northwestern -8
NC State @ Maryland -10.5 -- Now I'm just looking for home favorites to cover.
PICK: Maryland -10.5
Obscure Pick Of The Week:
Central Michigan @ Toledo +4 --Just because Toledo beat Michigan doesn't mean they are any good. That result was more of a statement as to how pathetic Michigan has been this year. Central Michigan is solid, and coming off a big win over Western Michigan. Four points should be an easy cover.
PICK: Central Michigan -4
