Full day of good games so I will start with the early games. Be sure to check back for the afternoon and evening picks.
Top Pick
San Diego St -9.5 vs Army
Miss St -5.5 vs Auburn
Lean
Toledo +17.5 vs Ohio St
Writeups
San Diego St- This team is still underrated since last season. They really heated up at the end of last season and have picked up where they left off. Even with losing a great coach in Brady Hoke, their new coach is a proven Mountain West winner in Rocky Long
With this game in particular, Army will struggle on both sides of the ball. SDSU has a superior passing game and SDSU has the benefit of facing an option team the week before so they will be prepared. SDSU might get off to a slow start with early kick time on the opposite coast but they will get it going and cover the number.
Miss St- I will bite on this one. Although I do expect Auburn to play better. Auburn's youth really was evident last week where players were out of position and the only reason they were able to pull off the win was their athleticism. This week, Auburn will be facing a veteran team which has equal athletic ability and Miss St will be able to exploit the Auburn mistakes.
Toledo- I think Ohio St will be in a bit of a letdown/look ahead mode to Miami next week and will have a bit of trouble getting up for Toledo. The Rockets on the other hand will be fired up for the chance to challenge their big in state rival and make some noise on the recruiting trail within Ohio. The buckeyes will win but Toledo will give them a bit of a scare and cover the number.
