Easy Money Pick of the Week: The College Football Bets You Want This Week

Easy Money Pick of the Week

LSU @ Auburn (-6)

Good luck predicting the score in this game.

Auburn is more than capable of putting up 60 points, as seen last week against Arkansas, but LSU’s defense is tough, so don’t expect another JV basketball score in the game this weekend.

The Auburn defense is atrocious, but could they be worse than the LSU offense? I like Auburn to win this one and cover the spread.

The winner stays in the hunt for the national title.

Other Picks

Air Force @ TCU (-18.5)

I sure hate betting against TCU, especially after allowing only three points combined over their past three games; however, Air Force is no pushover and the 18.5 point spread is too much.

Their two losses have come in close games on the road at Oklahoma and in San Diego against a tough Aztecs team.

Don’t get me wrong, TCU will probably pull this game off, and potentially by two touchdowns, but Air Force is an underrated squad that has the ability to stick with TCU.

UCLA @ Oregon (-24)

This Pac-10 match-up Thursday night in Eugene features two teams coming off bye weeks.

Oregon comes into the game touting the No. 1 offense in the nation to go along with their consensus No. 1 national ranking. In their six wins, Oregon has won by an average margin of 38 points (an average of 54 points at home).

UCLA is coming off of a devastating loss to Cal, where they simply could not get anything going. Heading into the much rowdier Autzen Stadium against a much better Oregon team, I can’t foresee the result of this game being anything but a blowout.

Oregon wins this game big!

Kansas State @ Baylor (-6)

This is only Kansas State’s second road game of the year, but they sure didn’t mind playing visitor last week to bitter in-state rival Kansas.

After being benched during a disappointing performance against Nebraska, QB Carson Coffman played out of his mind last week against the Jayhawks. He threw only one incompletion and finished the game with a 231.6 passer rating; oh, and he had three rushing touchdowns.

Production through the air had been the missing piece of the puzzle for Kansas State, but the Wildcats have seen consistent production on the ground from RB Daniel Thomas.

Kansas State has a good shot at taking down Baylor straight up. I’ll take them with the points.

South Carolina (-12.5) @ Vanderbilt

This is a flyer, but I will be taking Vanderbilt.

After losing star RB Marcus Lattimore in the third quarter of last week’s game against Kentucky, South Carolina put up 78 yards of total offense and zero points. The chances are very good that Lattimore will be out this week with a sprained ankle and that should really slow down South Carolina’s game.

Without their most potent offensive weapon, the Gamecocks will struggle to get anything going. I say Vandy keeps this game tight.

Wisconsin @ Iowa (-6)

In one of the better games on the schedule this weekend, I’m putting my money on six-point underdog Wisconsin at Iowa.

This Big Ten contest pits the Badgers, with one of the best rushing attacks in college football, against a very good run defense in Iowa.

The question is whether or not Wisconsin can get its hard-nosed running style going against a Hawkeyes defense that has been incredibly stingy this year, allowing less than 84 yards a game on the ground.

Wisconsin is coming off of a huge upset win over last week’s No. 1 team, Ohio State. The Badgers are clicking on all cylinders, and their momentum should continue into this weekend.

Unless you count its loss to the overrated Arizona Wildcats, this is Iowa’s first real test of the season. It should be a close one.

Luckily, if you like Wisconsin in this one, Vegas is giving you six points—take it!
