Last week in the picks we once again had a very nice week. The pics got four games right and no games wrong. Of course it is still early in the season and the polls are still working to get the teams in the right order. Last year after a great start the right picks fell of sharply. Lets hope that this year we don’t take as big a fall as last year.
The final score of the first game we picked last week was LSU 47 WV 21. The Pick was pretty close to the final score. Making us 1- 0 for the week.
In the second game we had picked Alabama the final score was Alabama 38 Arkansas 14. We thought that it would be a bit closer but Alabama clearly was the much better team making us 2-0.
The third game we had Oklahoma St over Texas A&M in a high scoring game. The game was not as high scoring as we thought it would be but the game was as good as we thought it would be and what do you know but we got that one right as well. The final score was Oklahoma St. 30 Texas A&M 29 making us 3-0 for the week.
In our final pick last week we had Clemson over Florida St. We were pretty close in the pick of the score on this one as well. Final score Clemson 35 Florida St. 30. Making us 4-0 for the week.
For the season we are now 8-1! Hey not bad but this week will be a different story. The games start to get much closer and much harder to pick. There are again 4 games with match ups of ranked teams.
The first game in this weeks pick is (3) Alabama at (12) Florida – These two teams are close. so close that they almost match each other in every statistical category this year. There will be no blow out like the 31-6 beat down that Alabama put on Florida last year. They both have good D and they both love to run the ball. So it is hard to tell what is going to happen in this one. Alabama has had the advantage the past few years. This year is going to be different. I am going to give the advantage to Florida this year. They will beat Bama in the Swamp. Pick: Florida 24 Alabama 23
The next game is (8) Nebraska at (7) Wisconsin – Both teams are coming into this game exactly as the Big 10 had hoped. Undefeated and looking like top tier teams. Wisconsin has much more ridding on this game than Nebraska. If Wisconsin loses they will for ever be the team that lost the first game to a new Big 10 team. Along with that stigma would be the hopes of Wisconsin playing for a possible BCS championship. Wisconsin is a team that has all the pieces in place to make a run this year. The Wisconsin Defense will be able to control the Nebraska Offense. I don’t see Nebraska being able to stop Wilson and the Wisconsin running game. Even if Nebraska can stop the Wisconsin running game then Wisconsin will beat them through the air. With this game being in Madison one of the toughest places to play in College football I see Wisconsin rolling. Pick: Wisconsin 38 Nebraska 17
In our third match up of unbeaten team we have (13) Clemson at (11) Virginia Tech – Clemson is a team that is on a roll. After last weeks game with Florida State it will be hard for them to keep the energy level up. They are coming into this game with a point to prove after getting beat down the last time they played at Virginia Tech. Tech has not had any challenges this year yet and with Clemson they will get their first taste of playing a tough opponent. Pick: Clemson 31 Virginia Tech 25
In our final pick of the week we have (14) Texas A&M at (18) Arkansas – This game is being played at a neutral site (Cowboys Stadium) and will be the last time A&M plays an SEC opponent as a non conference game. Last week Arkansas took it on the chin against Alabama. This week I think that they will get more of the same. This could end up being one of the higher scoring games of the weekend. Watch for some big numbers to be put up. Pick: Texas A&M 48 Arkansas 38
