Picks for Oct. 23rd Games

Last week went 2-1 with wins by Southern Miss and Iowa last week and a loss by Air Force put me at 8-8-1 for the season.  Time to get over the .500 mark.

at Ohio State -23.5 Purdue - Take the Sweater Vest to extract some revenge for last year's sloppy loss to the Boilermakers and also to get back on track after the loss last Saturday to Wisconsin.  Buckeyes will have this covered by halftime.

at Louisiana-Lafayette -6 Western Kentucky - This isn't so much a pick for the Rajin' Cajuns as it's a pick against the Hilltoppers.  Never mess with a streak and when you have a team that has loss 26 in a row including blowing a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter last week giving up 28 straight points in the quarter.

at Utah -30.5 Colorado State - Utah is maybe the best team in the country that nobody knows about.  Their offense is averaging almost 46 a game, the defense is in the top 10 in scoring defense.  The Rams are down near the bottom in scoring defense and scoring offense.  Look for the rout at Rice-Eccles on Saturday.

Fresno State -19.5 at San Jose State - Bulldogs tend to beat the Spartans like a red-headed stepchild in this series and this year shouldn't be any different.  Fresno State wins this one by four touchdowns.
