Vegas’s Quick College Football Picks

I’m not putting any money on college football this week, but these are the spreads that I would consider if I were.

NORTHWESTERN +2.5 over Illinois

Boston College -2.5 over WAKE FOREST

MARYLAND +1.5 over Florida State

VANDERBILT -3.5 over Tennessee

Michigan State +16 over PENN STATE – MSU is 9-2 (i.e., they shouldn’t be 16-point dogs), it’s cold, Penn State will have problems focusing after their huge loss to Iowa last week. I think Penn State wins this one, but I say by 3-13 points.

Tonight’s Prime Time Game: TEXAS TECH @ OKLAHOMA -7

I can’t wait for this one tonight. We’ll see at least 60 points, which the over/under reflects at 76. You have to love Texas Tech’s offense, but Oklahoma’s has been just as good. Oklahoma is clearly the more well-rounded team. There’s no way I can picture Texas Tech in that championship game. I think Oklahoma will cover with a win by at least 10. I wouldn’t bet on this game since it should just be a back and forth offensive battle. First team to get the other team to punt should win this one. It’s just an exciting game that I’m looking forward to watching tonight.
