Top Picks

Toledo -4.5 vs C. Michigan

Alabama -4 vs Auburn

Toledo- Similar to Miami, oh/Temple, this is a series that looks like it will be heading in a different direction than previous years. C. Mich has been ruling the MAC for a awhile and has beaten Toledo pretty consistently the last few years. Well hard times have fallen on the Chippewas and the Rockets have been improving all season. I look for the Rockets to have a pretty easy time as they accomplish a couple of things. Get revenge for the recent losses and continue to position themselves for a bowl appearance. The Chippewas get ready for the off season and look to start recruiting for next year.

Alabama- For me, this one comes down to coaching. Auburn has done well all year, letting the talent they have do their thing on offense and defense and when it counts, letting Cam Newton make a big play. In this game, they will have the pressure of seeing what Saban has game planned and then trying to adjust. I have not seen Auburn in that position yet and am not confident that they will be able to handle the pressure that Saban will throw at them.

Offensively, Bama should be able to use their multiple weapons to get first downs and even put more pressure on Auburn to make things happen when they do get the ball. All of this will wear on the War Eagles who will finally succumb to all the weight that has been piling up on their shoulders.
