Some College Football Picks
I haven't been writing much lately about politics or anything other than football and it looks like that trend is going to continue. One of these days I'll get back to the American Fascism series detailing how much control the government has over our lives but for now I'm going to stay on the positive side and talk about something I like: football.
So here are some quick picks for this weekend's games:
Clemson vs Wake Forrest: Clemson
Dabo Swinney is turning out to be Tommy 2.0 and just like Tommy I expect him to pull out a big win when his ass is on the hot seat. I don't know the line on this game, but I doubt Clemson is favored.
Texas vs Oklahoma: Texas
The line is 3.5 at this point and Texas will cover. Oklahoma is just not that good, even with Sam Bradford. Also this is the Big Offense league so I doubt the game will have a difference of a field goal.
Florida vs Arkansas: Arkansas
Florida is going to beat Arkansas, but the line is a ridiculous 25 points right now. If there's one thing Arkansas can do, it is score touchdowns. They may lose by 14, but I seriously doubt they lose by 25.
Virginia Tech vs Georgia Tech: Virginia Tech
As much as I like Paul Johnson and his option offense, he does not have a bona fide option quarterback at this point. Nesbit is a great athlete but he does not make the right reads. In fact, you can tell when you watch them play that he is actually pre-determining his reads before the snap instead of reading the defensive end like he's supposed to. Bud Foster will stop this easily, and Virginia Tech will cover the 3 point spread against the soft Georgia Tech defense.
Alabama vs South Carolina: ???
Alabama is giving up 17 to South Carolina and while I know Alabama will win, I have no clue by what margin. SC is not a good team but if they were playing in Columbia I would have to say Alabama won't cover. However this game is at Alabama and so there's no upside down cockroach to save them.
