Here are the nightcap picks...looking to finish strong.
Top Picks
ND/USC over 57
Alabama -30 vs Tennessee
Wisconin -7.5 vs Mich St
Leans:
Northwestern +4.5 vs. Penn St
Utah +1 vs Cal
Stanford -18.5 vs Washington
Writeups
ND/USC- Both teams are pretty offensive focused and although ND has had some nice defensive performances this year, they are stepping up in class vs a strong USC defense. USC has not stepped up all year on defense and I don't expect that to change tonight. Should be a relatively close game with ND winning by not making the big mistake.
Alabama- With LSU winning handily look for Bama to do the same. Tennessee is wilting under the tough SEC schedule and is in no position to stop Bama's run game and will not be moving the ball much tonight. Saban's rants were pretty amusing this week and I expect that his team will come out focused and this will be a laugher.
Wisconsin- A buddy of mine is adamant that Russell Wilson should win the Heisman and tonight will be his chance to insert himself ni the top 3. If Wilson was not the QB then I would be looking at MSU to get the win but Wilson will be a difference maker and the other factor is Wisconsin's defense which is very solid and will assert themselves vs MSU.
Northwestern- I like the Cats to get off the snide tonight against an overrated Penn St. team. In the past the Nittany Lions have handled the Cats with toughness but this version of Penn St is more finess and NU will be able to hang and get the win.
Utah- This has been a tough luck season for Utah but they will step up against a bad call team here and win.
Stanford- Washington has played well but their lack of a pass game will be a problem here and Stanford will make them one dimensional. Luck will quietly continue to keep his amazing season going in another ho hum route for the Cardinal.
