Top games for week 3

The big game is 1 Alabama at 6 Texas A&M. The Tide was complacent last year and got beat. Won't happen this year. 'Bama is favored by 9 over the Aggies, I think that's about right.

Tennessee at 2 Oregon: The betting line is 25 1/2, I would like that spread at Knoxville but in Autzen Stadium, I like the Ducks by 40. Granted, I'm a fanboy...

4 Ohio State at Cal: spread is 15 1/2 favoring the Buckeyes, they will win but I like the Golden Bears to cover

5 Stanford -28 1/2 at Army : Stanford rolls

7 Louisville at Kentucky: Cards are overrated, I like the Wildcats to not only cover the 12 1/2 but win

Kent State at 8 LSU: Tigers win and cover the 36 1/2

Nevada at 10 Florida State: 'Noles win and cover 32 1/2

im torn

see, i like sports drama but i respect greatness (patriots, spurs, alabama, etc)

but i wanna see texas a&m beat bama today. i feel like its actually a longer shot than most ppl think (last yr alabama was deflated, didnt view this as a big game ((trap game)). manziel will be such a rockstar tho and i wanna see him get love for his play instead of the media blowin this off field stuff out of proportion

Final score 'Bama 49, A&M 42. Pretty close

Game is in the 2nd quarter right now, Buckeyes are up 31-17 and from what I've seen are DEFINITELY the class of the Big 10. They are BCS title contenders.

I was half right. Stanford won handily but Army covered, 34-20 Cardinal

With about a minute left in the first half, LSU is up 31-7. This pick is looking solid.

LSU actually did win big but did not cover, 45-13 Tigers

Final tally: I was 6-1 without factoring in the spread but a lousy 2-5 against those betting lines, the only spreads I beat was Oregon and Florida State, both of those easily

My Ducks have a bye, and TBH the schedule this week isn't terribly compelling, with one good game

Week 4 picks:

Colorado State at 1 Alabama

The Tide survived a scare last week in College Station, and now a lot of people are questioning the quality of their secondary. I wouldn't wanna be CSU tomorrow, Tide will roll and cover 39 points

3 Clemson won at NC State last night, that score was closer than I would've thought but the Wolfpack is no pushover at home, as the Tigers learned last year. Besides, I don't have cable and didn't see the game, it could've been one of those closer-on-the-scoreboard-than-it-was-on-the-field type 'o deals.

Florida A&M at 4 Ohio State

The Buckeyes are favored by 49 1/2 points. That's a LOT of points, the problem with a spread like that is that by the 4th quarter OSU will doubtless have their third string in the game. It'll be a rout, for sure, I'm iffy on the spread.

23 Arizona State at 5 Stanford

This is easily the best match-up this weekend. My head tells me that Stanford will win and cover the 6 points, but I will be rooting for the upset, as it would help my Ducks

Auburn at #6 LSU

The spread is 17, LSU will want to make a statement that they belong in the conversation with Alabama for SEC power. LSU wins and covers.

Florida International at #7 Louisville

I thought last week the Cardinals were ripe for an upset, and I was wrong. Won't be any upset this week against a very poor Conference USA squad, but like the Ohio State game I'm vacillating on the spread, as the game will be decided by the second half

Bethune-Cookman at 8 Florida State

The Wildcats are actually a very good MEAC team but they're overmatched against a top tier ACC power. The Seminoles showed last week that they are perfectly content to run up the score, they will cover the 39 1/2 points

North Texas at 9 Georgia

A decent Conference USA team against an SEC power. This won't be pretty, Bulldogs cover the 33 points

Southern Methodist at 10 Texas A&M

SMU is a so-so ACC team, Manziel will shred these guys but I think SMU can beat the 28 1/2 point spread

Alabama to roll over Co. State
Ohio State U to cover and win 63-7.
Stanford to win by at least two tds over ASU.
LSU to cover the 17 over Auburn.
Lousiville to cover over Florida Intl.
FSU blows out Bethune Cookman.
Georgia covers 33 against N. Texas.
Texas A&M to cover SMU. [SMU could use some help from the pony express this weekend.]
