College Football Picks: Arizona, New Mexico and More

Dave, take us through your card. We'll bounce around to as many games as possible here on College Football Today. Well, one of them I gave out a few minutes ago. I do like Arizona. I think Arizona, plus the points, I was able to get it earlier in the week at a good number. I think that their offense is going to be able to score on Utah. I do like your play, and I think Utah can control it like that, but I do think Arizona at night is in play, plus the three. I mentioned earlier that I'm all over the Indiana-USC under. It's another Big Ten under for me. Indiana, great defense, terrible offense. USC does not travel well. Their defense has been good lately as they held Ohio State down, so I'm going to be taking the under 51-and-a-half there. I like Wake Forest to go into SMU and win that game and almost clinch their spot in the ACC title game. I think that offense, although they've played nobody, and I understand that, is a really, really good offense that can go into SMU and beat SMU, so I think they go to Dallas and win, so I'm taking the Wake Forest money line. And my best bet, I'm going back to Albuquerque, New Mexico. The number's long gone. I still like New Mexico here. I was able to cash it in at minus 14 last night. It's now 16 and a half and 17, which means I'm not the only one betting it. New Mexico, top scoring defense in the country, allowing less than 11 points per game. Top overall defense in the country, 240 yards per game. They're also 15th in rushing, Kevin, 215 rushing yards per game. UNLV has allowed a lot of rushing on the ground. 351 to Wyoming, 430 rush yards to Air Force. New Mexico controls the game, runs for 300 plus yards and covers the 14, probably covers the 17 as well, since that number has gone crazy in the last 24 hours. I'm taking the Lobos at home. I've gone through, again, some of the big game action, some of the other items that hit the card here on this Saturday. Give me the under 54 and a half. In Miami, Duke, these two defenses are actually built to stop the other. The Blue Devils are so far very good against the pass. Miami are very, very good against the run. You need to be to slow down Nate Shepard. We're going to play an under 54 and a half. We're going to play an over 47 and a half. Alabama, Vanderbilt, Austin Mack will start for Keelan Russell. That's why we're getting, I think, such a good number on this total. Austin Mack has been with Kalen DeBoer in the Crimson Tide for a while. He knows this offense. I think he plays well. This is a sleepy spot, sleepy spot. DeBoer knows it all too well for the Crimson Tide. I don't think their defense is pitching a shutout or anything of that nature. Missouri plus 16 and a half. I feel like someone hacked my card and put this thing on here. How am I fading the Georgia Bulldogs again? We're not doing it. We did it with Auburn. We did it with Auburn. People try and forget that. We're going to try and do it again with Missouri. I don't think Missouri can win this game. I do think that they can hang inside the 16 and a hook. And it looks like I'm the Florida guy on this show. I mean, Florida can, people have asked me, they said, hey, it's Florida versus Kentucky. You got to assume the Bearman is rooting on the Wildcats. He's such a Kentucky guy. Or is that over after they got rolled by the Vols last week? Last week was tough. They got rolled, and then I sat there in person with my kid and witnessed Florida getting rolled by a terrible Oklahoma team. I looked at this Florida-Kentucky game. I wrote it up for a couple of websites. I can't play it. I just can't play it. Kentucky just broke my heart last week. And Florida, I mean, obviously I bleed the orange and blue and watch them have one of the worst offensive performances I've seen since maybe Ron Zook was in town. God bless you for taking Florida plus a number today. It's where I would go if I was playing the game, but I could also see Kentucky winning this one 30-7. You're a Kentucky guy through and through when it comes to that betting card. We've seen it throughout this season. I'll take the Gators plus 3.5. This is Summerall's spot, in my opinion.
