WEEKEND PICKS
Sorry, these picks are a little late because I've been too preoccupied staring at the girls pictured above. The wonderful picture is courtesy of BarstoolSports. Time to lose some money and get drunk at the same time while your girlfriend bitches at you while going back for your 20th beer. God I love College Football Saturdays.

WAKE FOREST(-1) AT VIRGINIA
The Wake have been playing good to great football since they lost their first two games and Virginia has been slipping by opponents till last week. I'm playing the law of averages and think Wake Forest will be able to handle Virginia easily. Take Wake with the points.

NAVY AT NOTRE DAME(-3)
Notre Dame is horrible this year but they finally had a week off to prepare themselves for something other than an ass kicking. Navy lost to Delaware last week and their defense is undersized and they lack depth at every position. The Irish will run the ball with reckless abandon. Take the Irish with the points at home.

UCLA(-1.5) AT ARIZONA
Karl Dorrell's job is on the line and the Bruins are a Jeckyl and Hyde team. This week I think they will be the good team. Take UCLA with the points on the road.

TEXAS(-3) AT OKLAHOMA STATE
Texas is a better team. Again, the Longhorns are a better team. They are men too. Take the Longhorns with the points on the road.

MARYLAND(+2.5) AT NC STATE
The Wolfpack are bad and the Terps are okay. The Terps will be bowl eligible this season thanks to a road win in Raleigh. Take the Terps as the underdog.

LSU(-7) AT ALABAMA
The Saban Bowl is a matchup of mismatches. LSU is clearly the better team and will take a close game in the third quarter and wear out the Tide by the start of the fourth quarter. Take the Tigers with the points on the road. Oh yeah, fuck Saban.

MISSOURI(-4) AT COLORADO
I've been back and forth all week with this game. I know the history, Mizzou doesn't win in Boulder. But this year is different. Mizzou is clearly the better team on the field. I will go with Chase Daniels and the points on the road.

ARIZONA STATE AT OREGON(-7.5)
I think the Ducks are going to blow them out in Eugene. Take the Ducks and the points.

RUTGERS(+1) AT UCONN
UCONN is due for their first Big East loss. Take Rutgers and Ray Rice as the road underdog.

FSU(+7) AT BOSTON COLLEGE
I hate FSU but I think they will actually decide to show up for this game. Don't ask why, it makes almost as much as sense as arguing why Matt Ryan is the Heisman leader. I think FSU will upset BC in Chest"nut" Hill.

OREGON STATE(+15) AT USC
USC hasn't blown out anybody in the PAC-10 in a while. The Beavers know they can beat them. I think USC will win the game, but I'm taking the Beavers as the more than two touchdown underdog.

NFL Picks, yes, I said the NFL, will be posted tomorrow morning or late tonight.
