College Football Picks 10/29- Part 1

I have a pretty tight card today and probably will not be adding to many games to my look ahead post from earlier this week.

However as the day gets going, I will be looking for some worthy sides to add to the mix.

To get started with the early games, here are my early sides.

Top Pick:

Syracuse/Louisville under 44

Lean:

Nebraska -4 vs Michigan St

Writeups:

Syracuse/Louisville- Remember when Louisville was a high flying offensive team with the AFROS (America's Favorite Receivers on Saturdays). Talk about a 180, now under Charlie Strong they are a defensive oriented team with an offense that at best manages the game and tries not to put their team in a bad situation. Syracuse is pretty well balanced however they will run the ball quite a bit and won't be taking too many chances in coming off a big win and trying to maintain their momentum.

I am looking for a pretty tight game with a lot of punts and run attempts so the under is the way to go.

Nebraska- Sticking with the letdown factor here as Mich St leaves their electric home atmosphere and faces a fired up Nebraska team and crowd. I think Nebraska will make enough big plays on offense and the blackshirt defense will slow down the Mich St offense to cover the 4 here.
