Week 4 (9/24) Picks

Last week I was 23-6, making it 71-11 overall. I missed the game of the week, and I'm 2-1 in the games of the week. Some of the good were LSU shutting down Mississippi State's run game and winning with defense, Nebraska scoring a lot of points in a big win over Washington, and San Diego State RB Ronnie Hillman having a big game in a win over Washington State (he had 191 yards rushing and 4 touchdowns). Some of the bad were picking Toledo to upset Boise State, picking Tennessee to upset Florida, and picking Ohio State to beat Miami along with a couple others. I've only got one pick that could be considered an upset this week.

San Diego State at #22 Michigan - At home, Michigan should be able to out-rush Ronnie Hillman and get the win.
North Carolina at #25 Georgia Tech - Should be another big week for the GT ground game.
Portland State at #20 TCU - Not even close here.
#14 Arkansas at #3 Alabama - Alabama's defense will get a stop to win this close game.
South Dakota at #6 Wisconsin - Another blowout for Wisconsin.
#7 Oklahoma State at #8 Texas A&M - Weeden to Blackmon is the difference in this shootout.
#11 Florida State at #21 Clemson - Florida State's defense shuts down Clemson and cruises to a victory.
#13 Virginia Tech at Marshall - Marshall is pretty bad on offense. They won't score more than 7 points.
Western Michigan at #24 Illinois - This one will be closer than most people think.
Colorado at Ohio State - Colorado has lost 19 straight games on the road. Make it 20.
UCLA at Oregon State - Getting James Rodgers back will give OSU a boost and help them win the game.
California at Washington - Washington bounces back at home with a win over shaky Cal.
Vanderbilt at #12 South Carolina - Vanderbilt will struggle to score and SC won't turn the ball over much.
#15 Florida at Kentucky - Kentucky struggled with Western Kentucky. Enough said.
Rice at #17 Baylor - Another big game for Griffin against a terrible defense.
UTEP at #18 South Florida - UTEP is really bad this year. It won't even be close.
Florida Atlantic at Auburn - FAU is another really bad team. Auburn will bounce back before a big losing streak.
#9 Nebraska at Wyoming - Laramie can be tricky sometimes, but Nebraska won't have any trouble.
Missouri at #1 Oklahoma - Missouri is a really good football team, but they got dissected by ASU on the road. The same will happen at OU.
#2 LSU at #16 West Virginia - This is a hard game for me to pick. But I'll go with LSU's defense.
Tulsa at #4 Boise State - I'm not picking against BSU again until at least late October.
#10 Oregon at Arizona - Arizona is too one-dimensional on offense to score enough point to make this a game.
#23 USC at Arizona State - Osweiler has time to throw and Burfict gets in Barkley's head, leading them to an upset at home.
