Quick Picks - HPSWBT Week 3

It always hits the fan when I'm away for a football Saturday. After starting 8-2 in Week 1, HPSWBT kissed its sister in Week 2 at 5-5. Using spotty airport Internet service, I will now attempt to make 10 picks before my computer craps out...

TCU @ USAFA (+8) - Hell hath no fury like a Horned Frog scorned.

West Virginia @ Maryland (+16.5) - A bonus IDGOOSBITC pick! Here's hoping Freidgen remembers the pasting WV put on the Terps last year on Thursday.

Arkansas @ Alabama (-3) - Saban's first big test and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt at home. Be prepared to hear from a lot of 'Bama fans if they win here.

Boston College @ Georgia Tech (-7) - It's unfortunate that the two best teams in the ACC have to meet in Week 3. I like the Jackets quite a bit but something seems to be brewing with this Eagles team.

Louisville @ Kentucky (+6.5) - There might not be a more fun game to watch this Saturday. If the Wildcats are serious about contending this year they need to beat a Cardinals team that looked more than vulnerable last week.

USM @ ECU (+1) - Pirates come crashing back to earth after their first win over UNC in 30 years.

FSU @ Colorado (+4) - Are these programs headed in different directions? I don't see any reason to take the 'Noles here especially on the road.

Toledo @ Kansas (-21.5) - The Jayhawk juggernaut keeps on rolling. Toledo gave up 52 points to Central Michigan last week. The Chippewas gave up 52 points to Kansas the week before that, therefore KU 104 Toledo 0.

Wyoming @ Boise State (-12.5) - Getting back to the wild blue yonder will mark the beginning of another streak for the Broncos.

USC @ Nebraska (+10) - Biased? Absolutely but I have to believe.

Last week: 5-5

Year to Date: 13-7
