NFL Week 8, College Football Picks

I was a frustrating 3-3 last week for -$1.20. I haven’t had a winning week in college football in about a month, yet, I’ve had three straight weeks on the positive side of the ledger in the NFL. At the end of October, I thought I’d have a better feel, but the spreads have been tough. I did win big with Baltimore on my own last week – despite the questionable ending – but I think I’ve been a little too conservative, especially on the blog.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of high spreads in the NFL this week, so I’m still not going big. But I am trying my first teaser of the season, and I have just one college pick. Here are my picks:

Penn State -6.5 (-115) at Wisconsin for $15 to win $13.05

Texans -5 (-110) vs. Colts for $20 to win $18.20

Packers -4 (-109) at Jaguars for $25 to win $23

Teaser:

Ravens -2.5 at Browns

Lions -5.5 vs. Titans

Chiefs -3.5 at Raiders

at +142 for $25 to win $35.55

I don’t think there’s any secret with these picks. PSU is looking to finally make the playoffs, and I don’t think Wisconsin can derail them. I like the Texans to bounce back after a tough loss to Green Bay. Even on the road, the Packers are just better than Jacksonville. And the teaser is three teams that should dominate – you just hope to avoid the big upset.

Of course, if it was that easy . . . well, you know.

The comments are quiet – your picks are welcome!
